ALL 19 Shoulder Pets In ARK & Why You SHOULD Tame Them!

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Incase you missed it, I do point out at the start of the video that almost all shoulder pets will give 50% weight reduction for anything inside their inventory once on your shoulder. I was rating these shoulder pets with both games in mind, I would like to say that the Ichthyornis would be a little higher if its Hunt and Retrieve ability actually worked in ASA, it's very useful in Survival Evolved.

Hey are you the guy that put up those H2O videos 11 years ago

[@ft7066]

10:15 LOL, I'm going to be picturing a Ferox whenever my wife is in a bad mood now! 🤣

[@JonnaX]

Man, I love Bulbdogs and am glad to see them high on the list. The sounds they make and the insane weight they have are the main reasons why i like them ;) and I can not wait for the aberration MAP to get released.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Haha yeah I can't wait to get lightpets back in ASA, always loved the Bulbdog! I think Ab is the map i'm most excited about!

[@amiralkanag7357]

Fun fact,(might be expired but oh well), A bulbdogs well placed can completly kill an alpha basilick since the alpha basilick models is bigger but his attack range don't fit with hisattack hitbox. Why do i know this?. Because we send a bulbdog me and my friend to save ourself but we wonder how is he not dead yet. End up the alpha was bleeding and the bulbdogs level 53 was killing the alpha basilick.

[@772minitrucker]

Bulbdog go brrr

[@LMD2915]

They’re my favorite too!

Awesome video. Thanks for this. I was wondering about the shoulder pets.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Thank you!! :D

[@kodarin8121]

Incredibly helpful video as always, my friend. I've been playing Ark since early on in ASE early access and still glean useful info from nearly every video. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Thank you!! Glad to hear the videos are useful :D...No problem! Thanks again!

[@robertlewis1439]

Very useful info Bey! Always here with great tutorials!!

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Thanks mate! :D

[@dordiposi5969]

I needed this!! Perfectly showcases and detailed video! Only criticism I have is i would put the Sino above the Otter but that is because i'm kinda addicted to them haha, Otter is by far more useful! So I totally understand why they are the best shoulder pet in the game! Great video, thanks Bey!

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Thanks mate!! Appreciate the kind words! Haha I wanted to put it in number 1 so bad but yeah the Otter's utility is unrivalled in my opinion!

[@arkie14]

@@BEYPlaysGames Yeah great vid mate. I too am addicted to the little Sino. I once took a screenshot of a bunch of mine landed in formation and compared it to a photo from a WW2 aircraft carrier showing F4U Corsairs with their wings folded up. Rather remarkable similarity 🤣 I love using them when standing on the edge of a cliff above a Rex so you can shoot the rex and if something comes up behind you or you fall off, you don't have to worry.

[@causticgasman4915]

Keep up the great work mate, the Devs should employ to to advertise every aspect of the game lol!

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Haha cheers mate! XD

[@kodarin8121]

8:58 I thought for sure you were going to say 2025. So funny... and sadly true.

[@MeganSGamesChannel]

I love how you cover everything and go into so much detail in your videos 😊

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Thanks meg!

[@ganymede8257]

If you ask me, Icthyornis is easily top 5, being able to convert small prey into sources of prime meat is super useful, as well as the fact that flying shoulder pets are easier to transport

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Sadly the ability doesn't work in ARK Ascended and i'm rating them for both games so I can't put it so high up on the list! I still would only put it around 12th though if the ability worked as intended XD

[@dutydarth5809]

This is a video i've wanted to see on YT for ages, thanks mate! Btw didn't even know the Hesperornis could be picked up on a player's shoulder lol

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Awesome! No problem!! Haha a lot of people still don't know surprisingly, probably because they are abit annoying in the wild and to tame!

[@de5troythebrain]

Man... i just cant wait for the Sino to come back. As a solo player who doesnt tend to gather much element for tek suits. the Sino is a life saver. i had the perfect combo of them, argy and anky for the ultimate metal/flint/stone/obsidion gathering team.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Same here! I miss the Sino so much! I couldn't believe how good they were when they first released, literally would never go out without mine! :D

[@darkcharlie4375]

Thanks man, this is a very helpful video!

[@BEYPlaysGames]

No problem! Glad the video was useful :D

[@johnpitchford5211]

I've said it before and i'll say it again. I love your vids mate! They are the best ARK guides you can find on the entire internet!! I will always watch your videos, even if I know most of the info your videos are so well put together and satisfying to watch, keep it up mate! Let's get Bey to 100k Subs already!!

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Thank you!! Appreciate you and the very kind words! Your comment has made my day :D

[@ah3968]

It took me far too long to realize the value of the vultures on SE. I snagged one with very high melee and my vulture friend is a great added bit of damage.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Oh man, Vultures are so good! Absolute monsters to have on your shoulder :D

[@p3wp3wCthulhu]

Great video Bey. I am really annoyed with the Ichthy hunt mechanic being broken on ASA because you could tame a max lvl Hesperonis with the golden fish in 3 feeds, now a lvl 5 Heperonis needs 2000 fish to tame! :P It's messed up my early poly game and on top of that you can bet any Rhynio impregnated dino I try to 100% will ask for a golden egg. Otters can also sus out high lvl dinos and alphas, they make a little squeek when one is close by.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Thanks mate! Yeah me too, I would rate it much higher if it was working, it's a great ability but I was trying to order the list having both games in mind so can't really put it too high if it doesn't even work on the one game haha. Yeah Hesperornis is a nightmare to tame, they really need to fix the Ichthy! Thanks again :)

[@SurvivorDK]

[@School.Of.Athens]

I got a question for you about H2O and that song specifically

[@mikoto7693]

As a brand new Ark player who has only been playing a few weeks this video was awesome and educational. I’d tamed the Monkey and the Otter pretty much by accident but clearly I have a lot to learn. Need to get a breeding pair of these and the Dimorphodon and take a trip to Fjordr soon.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

That's awesome to hear, glad the video was helpful! :)

[@mikoto7693]

@@BEYPlaysGames Honestly, more than you’d expect. I’ve been treating the shoulder pets I have stumbled upon pretty much like a cute cosmetic. Sure it’s cute to have an otter wrapped around my character or a monkey clinging to her but it never occurred to me that they were actually useful.

[@jasonsalinas4596]

Love this video and I agree with your list.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Thanks mate! :D

[@MichaelJones-kq3md]

Whats all this then? A BEY video without the location on the map? 😉 Great video as always, you definitely make the best ARK guides I've seen.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Hahaha!! Thanks mate! Appreciate the kind words! :D

[@7ThePrimagen]

tbh the mesopithecus is one of my personal favorites for something that happened ages ago I was out gathering wood because I was making a house in the middle of a lake then I got jumped by 4 troodons, so it was safe to say I was passed out on the floor and slowly dying, my argy was too far away to come help, but looking around, low and behold I see my lil buddy in a party hat beating the absolute crap (and throwing it) out of them ever since then any playthrough I tame a mesopithecus and name it Mason (his name) and give it a flak helmet (what I rewarded him with after that event

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Haha, yeah the Mesopithecus is great man! Mine has saved me a few times too!

[@ClintFromDownUnder]

One additional fact about the otter: They're adorable.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Very true, probably the cutest in the game. Otter and Jerboa :D

[@leelu2274]

Funny how the noglin footage came from Raasclark, he can be such a troll. I mean that as a compliment.❤

[@ft7066]

Haha that's hilarious! He is prob the biggest troll in Monarky tbh 🤣

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Haha already knew I was going to use Raas's clips for the Noglin showcase XD

[@NatyGamio]

I love this video!!!!

[@mantk1123]

Hopefully the Ichthyornis will receive a fix soon 😢

[@BEYPlaysGames]

I really hope so, they apparently fixed it months ago btw...after reading some previous patch notes haha, I can clarify it didn't work once when I recorded this video XD

[@mantk1123]

@@BEYPlaysGames Dont worry, that patch was just to fix that the Ichthyornis cannot grag creatures propertly (Yeah, the Ichthy on ASA was launched with a lot of important bugs lol)

[@BEYPlaysGames]

@@mantk1123 Haha oh really? I swear I read something else, oh well, pretty stupid that they fixed that part but didn't bother with its best ability, good job Wildcard! 🤣

[@NotSerious286]

great list but although the otter has great utility the sino is just op imo

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Thanks! You aren't wrong XD

[@mihajlo6489]

I can't believe ichryorinis is behind pego and archeopterix... Yes maybe it is far easier to get prime meat in ascended as babies spawn naturally but what about fish prime meat? The second best food item to tame piscivorous creatures such as spinosaurus, baryonyx and pelagornis. All being quite useful creatures

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Well it's ability in ARK ascended doesn't work properly which is what makes them great, only reason why it is behind them as I'm kinda trying to find a medium between ranking them in both games, I love the Ichthy in Survival Evolved though! Prime Fish is pretty easy to gather too though, only need to kill a chunky Sabertooth Salmon and chop it up with a Sickle or a Megalodon or 2 and harvest it with a pick, would be enough to tame any of the creatures you mentioned...but yeah, it is lower on the list because of the hunt and retrieve ability not working in ASA!

[@dasher8918]

I do hope your wife watches these videos, would love to see her reaction to wife comments regarding the Ferox🤣🤣That comment was priceless!

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Hahaha she does and she did laugh at the comment XD

[@thepolerlakwatsera8584]

I honestly think I’m the other way around. Hungry me = big, mean ferox, Fed me = cute, little ferox 😂😂😂

[@raphaeljoseph1645]

In my opinion lightets should be on 4th place then fjordhawk then otter and the best should be the sino

[@V-A-U-G-H-N]

Get you a decent mass of vultures early game nothing will mess with you including players

[@BlastHeart96]

It’s such a shame that Noglin aren’t breedable/clonable in vanilla. I understand it’s because of PvP, but in PvE, they is almost no point in taming them unless you really like them. Personally I like them. They have an entertaining demeanor and have that “so ugly it’s cute “ vibe.

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Yeah it is a shame! Would be nice to have a breeding option but only in PVE mode :D haha, yeah I remember at first I thought they looked cute until it opened its mouth!

[@alexortega5833]

I never knew hesperornis could be put on your shoulder?

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Haha, a lot of people don't from what I've heard XD

[@hahabeans305]

Where is the bean shoulder pet at

[@BEYPlaysGames]

XD

[@ThantiK]

I'd argue Archaeopterix isn't a shoulder pet.

[@johnhussey4539]

It has 50% weight reduction for anything inside it when on your shoulder, that makes it a shoulder pet for that fact alone tbh XD

[@rubaiattamanna9259]

Ark mobile shoulder pets are in here or not

[@BEYPlaysGames]

I have never played ARK mobile if i'm being honest but i'd like to say that there would be some of the same shoulder pets on this list. From what I have read up anyway! Sounds like they seem to share the same abilities as the regular game too!

[@caffeinefuelled9186]

really surprised that we didnt get a TLC for Dimorph they look so dated.

[@SK-ij6ng]

omg devs really gave sino every abilities humanity has ever seen and also completely ignored archa like it never existed....sometimes i laugh a lot when they they talk abt balance

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Some people actually say it is balanced haha, I agree with you 100% though tbh Sino is pretty easy to tame and Archa may even be more difficult to tame if anything haha but yeah it's very disappointing because the Archa is the best thing we have in ARK Ascended that is the closest thing to the Sino XD

[@WholeWhiteBaby]

Took 2 days to find an unblocked otter spawn. Took hours to tame because builds despawned nearby fish. Flew over the Redwoods and disconnected...otter died... Playing ark is useless...it doesn't run well, and that can lead to losses, which took hours and days to make....one game crash, and days of work are deleted...it isnt worth it currently...WC released because they needed sales income...WC should have released because it was READY and WORKING...the experience of the player would be much greater if the game was stable....

[@BEYPlaysGames]

It's very frustrating. I'm scared of doing normal activities in-game due to the worry of crashing and losing everything! I totally understand how you feel :(

[@WholeWhiteBaby]

@BEYPlaysGames thats it in a nutshell...you only do what you CAN, you dont play the game...you just use the parts that work...and thats lame, af dude. It was a bad release, and it hasn't gotten any better. I think most just get hooked on loot and dinos. "Got too much to quit playing a terrible game, so ill just use what works in that game to keep my junk from despawning"...they arent playing the actual game, it isnt crash-proof enough...so they use the bit that works. Its a lame experience i dont want any part of.... You should do a vid about this issue. What problems keep players from actually playing the content....why you all just sit in your bases and never take dinos out. What happens when the game crashes and you have losses you cant control. Somebody should embarrass WC into fixing the game. There may be more active players if it wasnt a straight-up gamble every time you render something or fly....
