[@chriswhinery925]

That's true but traps are useful even for things like ankys. Very few things in Ark suck as much as looking for an hour or more for a suitably high level dino, knocking it out, and then having a pack of raptors suddenly appear and murder your knocked out dino. Using traps is great because it keeps the dinosaur you want in, but it also keeps carnivores that can ruin your day OUT.

[@franksaffen]

For the floating pen, putting the ramp on the front is extra helpful. The first Baryonyx I caught, I just scooped him out of the river without ever getting aggro.

[@trevorreid9142]

For #1 I like to have stone pillars instead of one of the doors. That way you can c-spin through the pillars with a ptera but the argy will get stuck. Then you land the ptera just out of the argies range so it is still agro’d on the ptera and you can easily shut the gate. It also gives a big gap to shoot the argy with tranqs

[@jangofett9083]

I kite it just close enough to where I can shoot it then I fly to the trap, jump off my mount, shoot it, and run into the trap then once it comes in I shut it then run out of the side.

KannabisBarbie It’s a bit of a clusterfuck, this video. Not sure it will actually help. There’s no point saying how to do it when you build it wrong and say don’t do that or it doesn’t matter, it’s a video presentation of how to do something not how not to do it and then narrate the correct way.

[@jonesyba420]

Theres only really 3 traps you need for standard dinos: the "argie" trap (can be used to tame anything that fits through a dino gate), rather than using 2 gates use a gate 1 end and then place 2 fence foundations with doorways going 3 high the other end, you can then fly a petra straight through. The standard "giga" trap (4 dino gate frames and large bear trap) can be used to tame anything that doesnt fit through a dino gate and the raft trap (usefull for killing alphas early game and taming stuff from the snow). Tip for building your 3x3 raft: 1st have a pillar on your hot bar, hit drive and dont move the camera (this centres your view), pull out your pillar and place it where the sail goes, stop "driving" and you can now snap a foundation next to the pillar, delete the pillar and place the rest of the foundations. If you want to lower the foundations do it from the 1st one you placed. Hope this helps.

[@Strength_In_Wisdom]

jonesyba420 thank you a lot

[@batshet8357]

That slightly puts it to the right... it wont allow you to place the left one.. Same on platform saddles,, you do have to move a bit but only doseways and theres guide lines on the raft

[@admusic247]

[@planeteater9000]

I know this video is old, but i just have to say that you are so helpful to me and my friends in our non dedicated server...thank you

[@TRak598]

My word of wise is: Don't use gates to trap land animals, that's asking for a swift death or failed attempts when closing it. ALWAYS use ramps, and let the gate for access (or not even that if you got Cryopods / Quetz Platforms).

[@batshet8357]

"Everyone should know how to lower foundations by now" :D Lol i still meet people who can barely place one on their own...

[@Agispsi]

I still see instructional videos on youtube where the guy doesnt know to center his foundations in order to build 3x3 on a raft... its sad.

[@bestkepthushpsn3915]

It’s easier to place a pillar 1st n skip a step in lowering your foundations by the way

[@MrLarsgren]

for argie trap i recommend using 1 gate and double doorways now to build a public argie trap somewhere. you can fly tru the doorway on a ptera but argies cant. also works for griffin. then you just land the ptera and walk around closing the gate while argie is focused on the ptera.

[@stanboyd1]

for the ramp trap an easy way to make sure the creatures don't overshoot the box is put the doorframes on the side opposite the ramps 3 high instead of 2 so that they hit the frame and drop down

You dont always have to use stone to trap. Yes wood takes damage but if you're only gonna use it once it's fine but also the dino will eventually stop attacking and start running stopping the damage to structures

Ark is sooo underrated it should be more popular

[@jbonkerz]

I never thought of building the trap on the raft for a mobile taming pen, that is awesome.

[@sphbecker]

For the ramp trap, a 2x1 is normally big enough. Also using wood is okay for low damage Dino’s like trikes or carnos. Wood has a lot of HP, so you will knock it out before it breaks.

For the third trap rather than destroying the door frames you can either pick the dinos up with an Argy or in the case of some of the larger ones, place thatch ceilings to form stairs out. I've used it to tame Rexes and if you are quick enough you can have the Rex follow you up and out of the trap and still pick up the ceilings in time. And if you can't, it's a thatch ceiling. Ultimately doesn't make too much difference once you are established but early on it's much cheaper.

There's an easier and cheaper way to get the stone foundation flush with the raft. Face the sail flag hole. Put a fence foundation with the end in the middle of the raft. Put a pillar in the middle of the raft on the fence foundation. Then place your some foundations.

i like the raft idea, a portable trap noice, in my case i only use 2 kinds of traps. the first for big dinos and flyers: 3-4 dino or behe gates one in front of another, and two doors on each end. the second for smaller dinos: 4-6 foundations, doorframes (2-3 tall) on each side to shoot and escape, ramps to get in the lured tame, and a dino gate on front , or just more doorframes if you have no problem on demolishing or pick up later.

[@techn9n3fan1985]

That first trap, the Argy trap. You are wrong about having to go around to close gate... You could easily close from between pillars. It's easy either way.

[@drhasanjalil8465]

Omg hilarious 😂😂 lol the part 5:50 where there u go argi is in...and they argi attacked 😂

[@FTA.2703]

Tamed an Argy by using the first one but bc I was a beginner level I used wooden ones and it took FOREVER to tame. Afterwards I built a hexagon-shape taming den out of stone gateways/doors, and built pillars with ceilings around it. I used my argy to kidnap an anky, frog, Equus, Kapro, and raptor to tame. I shoot tranq arrows from above to avoid damage and making it an easy tame

[@ltsfenrirgaming5442]

I barely use any of those resources, my argie trap is 2 to 3 pillars straight up depending on ground then 9 ceilings then door frames around that besides one in the front for the argie to fly into turn around and snap it in place and your good to go, griffin pen is one dino gate foundations 2 wide 3 deep with one wall missing to fly through with a Petra, hop off close door

[@martiniliev35]

Make the large carnivore trap at least 4 doorframes high when taming a Spino, otherwise it will escape. (I tried it on mobile, I am not sure for PC and console)

[@HoneyBadgerVideos]

I had to use 5 high for spino

[@avian8714]

So, probably old news by now, but you can place a ceiling tile attached to the edge of the foundation and then attach a foundation to that ceiling tile, allowing you to extend out past where it originally wouldnt let you. As long as you're not grounded or up against a dock or something else in your way of building

[@spinobolt7322]

[@joel-ng4317]

I use a trap similar to your second griffin trap. I put 3 pillars up then ceilings. Then pillars go down on every ceiling on edge of trap. Then dino gate goes on last. You can now kite argies, or allos in with a ptdon. Leave ptdon at end of trap, the dino agros on the ptdon. Take your time closing the dino door.

[@bruni15]

Courage 15 idk if you knew this already but they are called argies short for argentavis

[@nicholash3657]

Pro tip I use the 3rd trap he showed and I build a 3x4 with doorframes 3 high for gigas. It’s really really easy and it can fit almost anything. Metal costs a lot but trust me it’s worth it you can tame anything in them. Very very nice trap.

[@nicholash3657]

Also for the Argys I use a thatch door-frames 3x3x3. Argys can fit through a 2x2 hole so I leave a hole and on the opposite side of the hole side I cut remove 1 doorframe as the Argy can’t fit thought it and ur pteranodon can. After the argy flys in I got and place 1 doorframe in the 2x2 hole and dam the argy is stuck. It’s super cheap and doesn’t take long to make. It can be broken however iv never had it happen as argys cant deal enough damage to break through before you get it down

[@Baka_Oppai]

the first trap is better with a piller and a ceiling+wall on one end instead of another door. Cheaper and you can fly straight thru when argy chases you while on a smaller bid.

[@kenabbott8585]

The Griffin Trap works just as well on Argy's--but more, only put three pillars, not five. That way, you can kite the prey with a pterodon, and just fly him right out the back. Then you pack him right in the back, and the griffon or argy will stay at the back, trying to reach ~him~, while you stroll around to the front and shut the door.

[@williammcconnico4978]

Griffin trap. 1 dino gate 6 foundations 18 door frames 6 ceilings 6 pillars. Just 2 pillar sets on the back allows a PT to fit but the grif or argy cannot. Much easier land PT outside back to keep agro run around close gate

[@glydyr007]

Little tip for new players: if a gate isnt opening inwards or outwards, whichever way you want. Stand to the side and open it and it should open the other way.

[@eparock]

the argy trap... if you use double door frames a pteradon can fit through but an argy can't an only need on gate and run some ceiling tiles. a far superior way of building the trap...works for griffin as well.

[@clapr]

If you are not allowed to place those foundations you can snap a thatch roof on the side then the foundation will snap to the roof which you can demolish afterwards Tested :)

[@BruceJAX]

In the beginning you explain about moving straight back to place gates parallel. Because you could accidentally rotate while moving back in 1st person view which would also rotate gate off alignment, there is an easier way. Most times I place structures in 3rd person view. I rotate in 1st person, switch to 3rd person, use movement to check alignment (with like buildings and such, alignment to walls, floors, etc), then I continue to check alignment with 1st person & 3rd person views. Once aligned, I then also set placement while in 3rd person. In this case (of placing gates aligned, if in 3rd person when 1st gate placed, just moving back to place further gates ensures alignment... and better view of structure placement).

[@darianross98]

“They shouldn’t be able to hit you from here” Gets attacked...

[@wcmattman7571]

Better way to do the large carnivore is to build ramps on the all the sides without the gate, kite it through, run through your door frame, zero chance of dying or having the thing escaping when trying to close the door, can even use a flyer that way

[@ChronicStoner777]

i love the classic ten by ten wood ramp pen

[@TattooedPink]

Woo Aussie! Cheers for the vid 😍

[@skezeksskybreaker5425]

I just build the boat trap as far back as possible from the rudder with my rudder being on the outside of the trap. I can get every carnivore in it besides a Spino. I then make a 1 by 1 room around the rudder so the Dinos can't damage the raft. This is pretty cool because I place 2 standing torches inside the room and with the door closed I get the house effect so I can travel along the snow biome pretty comfortably without even the need of clothing. I barely ever get a snowflake and when I do it isn't up for long. I play on single player so I think when I built my two extra rooms that I might have gone above 88 peice limit at that point, not sure. But I made two small rooms on the right and left side. I have collision off so I can build compact. The left room has my bed, preserving bin, A table with two mortar and pestles and a campfire between them sitting on top of the table on it a storage box tucked under it, a smithy against the wall with another storage box over the anvil and one refining forge. This has been pretty efficient mobile taming base. My second room is a small cargo room. there are sloped roofs on these arms so I can run up it quickly on top of my rooms if I need to get a different angle to shoot. These too rooms are only 3 foundations big plus the slope roof so I can shove some boxes in them. They are one high so I don't obstruct my view. For the cage I used all door frames as I don't plan to use it on Raptors or smaller. The one side I have a stone dino gate. This is good if I also want to transport some dinos like my ankylosaurus. If I capture something larger that can't get out like a Rex. I take advantage of floor glitching with the raft to get it out since I am on console and don't have SPlus. EDIT: Works great on raptors I knew they couldn't go through doors but wasn't sure if they could go through frames without doors 2 high until I tried it out, just won't work for Pachy's and frogs for example although you can probably just drop them in their and then use the bola on them before they walk out.

[@Skeeternuts]

Boat building tip. Place a pillar when you mount the boat to center your foundations.

[@-sorta]

You can just use bolas for small carnivores and herbivores

[@jasonmckinney2484]

I use monkeys. Whistle the monkey to attack while on your shoulder (Make sure he is set to "Target Conscious Only") he will start whipping poop at the dino and it will act like dilo spit. Very good for keeping runners from getting away. once the poop starts flinging you just start popping darts into the dino and you are good. You can do this for flyers as well but you need to be on a griffin. Pteranodon, Argy and Wyvern all get their heads in the way but the griffins head sits level with it's back.

[@rattman3975]

yeah but that's only like small herbivores and at the very best a raptor

[@shadowlord9751]

Also thanks I'm good at ark don't really know how to trap things so helped alot

[@mnightstalker7291]

6 foundations, 24 door walls, 6 ceilings and a Dino gate is a much better argy trap. Works for anything that can fit through a gate but not a door. Only flyers need a ceiling, everything else just needs the doors. You can run into the trap to kite it in, then run out through the door walls. It is much less finicky than the trap you show. I have used it as my go to trap for most things for years

[@MK-hl4zm]

I always go for 2 gateways and 2 gates to trap argy. Works like a charm

[@justfor1video440]

i play on a official server, so i thought that those traps are a little bit expensive for me to use. but then i saw the last one and i thought: thats my trap. i can use it over and over again, and i can use it whereever i choose to! genius! thank you!

[@Cheese9220]

U can't take it to the volcano

[@Cheese9220]

Use a quetz with a trap on its back

[@jacobbosley2425]

Thanks for your ideas. I play mobile and used your cages in this video to solo tame a quetzal. I used the behemoth gateways and an elevator above a revival platform. Because the mobile version has the platform I can revive creatures from their artifact implants. It’s not easy, but all I had to do was kill a quetzal; take its artifact, build a cage around the revival platform, and finish the process off by shooting the quetzal with tranq darts til it passes out. The large elevator platform kept the quetzal from flying over the gates and opening the doors forces it into the corner where two gates meet, snapped. If my phone could capture anything other than screenshots I’d have recorded it so others could try. If PC and console versions have a way to revive creatures other than the obelisks, this is easier than trying to grapple and shoot from an argentavis.

[@ArkanumKing]

You can only do that on mobile

[@ArkanumKing]

You can only revive on mobile

[@pineapple6599]

The argen trap helped me a lot! Thanks

[@seaturtle6968]

First thing he mentioned was not using wood dino gates because they'll break. That's tree to an extent. Depends on how fast you are at knocking things out. My friend and I recently tamed a 150 griffin using a wooden argy trap. We just extended it by a few more gates. Like 6 overall

[@seaturtle6968]

But yeah you can use wood if you are quick. I'd suggest a backup bow

[@deadclocks5828]

Very helpful vid CJ Thankyou. I recently picked up the game and thinking of adapting this to a raft, that way Im not restricted to kiting back long distances. Keep up the great work mate!

[@leroyreynolds7366]

Use 4 dino gates and 2 doors, creates a cage if you line them up and seal it with the doors. Much easier imo.

[@Storiesofthebible77]

I haven't used taming pens yet but I'm definitely going to do it now

[@henderstech]

would be cool if they made a craftable Rope to tie rafts together or so you can tow things. You could tow another raft for separate dino pin

[@jordonlaur9643]

Bro I've never seen your videos. I'm tired as hell and just browsing ark videos waiting for it to finish downloading. And your intro literally scared the shit out of me. I jumped. Gj subbed

[@Cjthecheesedj]

Youre welcome ahaha

[@moreteaplease8942]

? just use wooden or stone fence foundations to line one side of your gate trap. The gates snap to them for perfect 1-wide spacing. Then if you're building a blocking wall for one end with a hole for running through or pulling with a Ptera, you can right-angle the fence foundations across the gateframe to anchor the walls.

[@timeshark8727]

When leading an argent or griffin, use a pteranodon or snow owl. When leading a wyvern use an argent, high level pteranodon or snow owl. Be warned, argents do not outrun anything, so make sure you have enough levels to take a few hits.

[@Zabeltross]

Sinking fountains is way easier and cheaper, lay a foundation (in the middle lol) then place pillar, pickup foundation and re place it, do the same with pillar. No need for demo and wasted mats

[@navanafti]

This video was made prior to the ark update that allowed you to pick things up for a short duration after placing. Before that, we'd lower with thatch foundations since they were cheap and you had to demo everything instead of pick them back up.

[@tumidsquanto]

I member those days back when ark was young and pve was about community hell even pvp had its own laws now its just a hatefule teenage waste land where griefers are king and the nice community driven folks are left to the waste side

[@danielwitty1117]

Easy carnivore trap 1 behemoth gate 3 Dino gates arched at one side of the gate and boom quick and easy reusable taming pen

[@zangbangtv2889]

I remember the good old days when ark was first released and u just stacked some movement speed to run faster then them and just shoot them and feed them with out any fences and clear the way of any predators :)

[@normiegregrovich3400]

I still do that cause I’m to lazy

[@Darth12000]

I don't know if it's still the case but when you made the video, there was a problem with rafts where they were vulnerable to any damage on the invisible mast. This why your baryonyx was doing damage in the video : it was hitting the invisible mast and damaging the raft directly as a result, bypassing the foundation protection

[@elegantruin]

I must be crazy, the only creatures I use taming pens for are the big underwater bastards like the Mosa and Tuso, and on land for the Giga. These are some handy designs though, cheaper than I make mine, maybe I'll set some up in popular taming areas and make things easier on myself.

[@nuvey7939]

I'll be using the Argy trap. I got lucky and found a trapped one stuck in a tree but haven't had any luck trying to get a second one.

[@moldoveanu8]

There are easier ways, for Argy trap space the pillars or gate frames far enough that pteranodon can fly through but Argy/Griffin can't. Then kite them in with a pteranodon and just fly through the trap. And use a pillar instead of gate at one end. Boat trap can be vastly improved as well

[@pipslegacy8553]

For the first tame pen, i prefer to use 2 pillars at one of the side instead of 2 doors because it's more simple to block argi or griffon because the ptera can pass through the pillars and not the other one.

[@diydoggo5716]

Tried small door trap and the trike got stuck on rocks lmao

[@posdaniel1501]

That raptor in the middle is like "dude are u hacking? Ima report yo ass"

[@k9o634]

Lol that part when he said "you can trank him, you can do whatever you want to him" 👏👏😂

[@PerSon-xg3zr]

The giant metal pitfall trap with a behemoth gateway is a permanent reusable giga trap for those who never want to carry metal gateways again and want maximum safety. It's expensive tho.

[@ak2floww]

we always trap argie's different. We use a ptera they can fly through a opening of 1 wall where argie's cant, than we build a trap with one gate, doorframe's and ofcourse ceilings (2 high, 2 wide, and 3 long) you leave out one doorframe on the back of the trap so you can fly through it with a ptera

[@swiftyplayz7507]

You don’t even need a Argi pen just get a longneck with darts or use a crossbow with trance arrows and it will knock it out easily. If your worried about it killing you just run and shoot and I recommend flak armor

[@JG-xb2fl]

I always use the third method but only 2 wide and 3 long because that’s usually enough. That also works for T-Rexes and other big Dino’s like the Yutyrannus and so on.
