Top 5 Creatures You Need To BRING TO CAVES In Ark Survival Evolved!

[@RyllenKriel]

The megalodon is the best for surface caves. You just need to carry it on your shoulder and remember to bring plenty of water or construct a miner hat with two jugs of water on either side with bendy straws for it's head slot.

I prefer a thylacoleo over all of them. It has a huge amount of melee damage, huge hit radius, stats are very very good, and can climb up walls if you wall in lava

[@wesellclams8657]

I would like to add a few things to the vulture, as I am an ark vulture enthusiast, 1. Is its ability to eat spoiled meat and get much more health from it than raw meat. Seriously if you force feed it to a vulture of about 1000 health it will go up in no time. 2. You can bring a whole flock in with you. So you mentioned it being a portable dire wolf, well what about 15 flying portable direwolves? Seriously vultures are like my best creature for caving, plus they can fall into lava that easily (granted they dont chase a corps into it). 3. Easy breed and easy mutation, I think this explains itself, its small and relatively early game so obviously it will be easy to breed an army of hyper-fabulos, bloodthirsty, Carrion birds. 4. They keep meat from spoiling in their inventory, for about 4X as long if memory serves me well.

[@racyforging7119]

I made a vulture army in ragnarok and use it to kill alo packs. Vultures are way too strong for how easy they are to tame.

[@nightdagger]

I'd put the direwolf above the sabercat because of the vertical range on their attacks. Sabers have a hard time hitting fliers at times because their attack hits directly in front with little vertical range, whereas wolves have a bit of vertical reach on their attacks. They are a bit more fragile, and the saber is better for chitin, but I think the reach outweighs the sturdiness the saddle gives because the best way to reduce damage is to kill the enemy quicker, and the wolf can dispatch those damned bats more reliably.

[@ant5986]

Yes but that Sabertooth armor really makes a difference, if you’re cornered in a cave on a wolf you’re pretty much on a dead dog, forget the increased attack range as you’ll be easy prey before you realize it.

[@urmomkv4408]

Gaming with Nightdagger but that’s just your opinion right?

You'd have to bring a pack. The pack boost gives damage reduction, and damage boosts, of course. In that way, they're definitely superior.

[@silvertheelf]

I will add a number 6: Dilophosaurus, why? They fit everywhere and when on aggressive can be amazing distractions for everything, I would definitely bring 10 or 20 down with max health and damage and just set them loose on the things in the cave. If you want you can also bring a pack of dire wolfs to add that buff stuff. By the way, the reason the sabertooth tiger doesn’t get a pack boost is because they aren’t pack animals, they can be, but they don’t choose that. The only reason to bring a dilophosaurus is so you can send them ahead to beat up animals ahead, eventually you will tell them to stay, just leave them where they can’t go and then they will make sure when on your way out you won’t be surprised.

[@iAmDavidA]

THANK you. Nobody mentions dilophosaurs, but they're amazing in caves, especially lower-level caves. First time I ever went into Lower South Cave, I took I think... three dilophosaurs? And they shredded everything we came across. Probably wouldn't be as effective against onycs, and I wouldn't take them into any cave with a lot of gaps to jump. But if you're just farming chitin or something, dilos are the shit.

This was also before they added Dino downloads to trade beacons. These days you can just summon in a pair of rexes in the room before the waterfall and leave them there for farming her.

[@ancogaming]

I'd like to see that, too. Just for others to see, since I couldn't be arsed to make a video about it. I've tried both. Tamed and subsequently bred a flock of Dimorphodons and Vultures to take them into the Snow Cave on The Island. Turns out, the Vultures are frikkin' BADASS while the Dimorphodons are either dead or I've let them free (set to wander). So it's worth the trip to Ragnarok or Scorched Earth to tame yourselves some high level Vultures. They're a passive tame with spoiled meat, so it's not rocket science. They'll only eat spoiled meat as well, so breeding and feeding is easy, we all have spoiled meat everywhere after a certain level.

[@andrewskogen1775]

The dimorph has to be knocked out to tame, vultures are passive, they do the same base damage. Vultures are fridges doubling the expiration time on all perishables while the dimorph is slightly faster at flying. Note vultures have to consume the perishable themselves because the only thing you can put in their inventory is spoiled meat

[@ancogaming]

Nice video, CJ! Didn't know what to do with my Daeodons, since they just eat through the feeding throughs and are useles in Bossfights if you have a good Yutyrannus. Gonna take 'em to the cave ASAP, just for fun. ;) Also, I always carry a Vulture on my shoulder, even if it looks stupid. You've perfectly shown the reason why, I've had to explain it multiple times. These fellows saved my life more than once. Be sure to check out the Thylacoleo for the cave on Carno Island. And for every other cave that allows to take Dinos in with you: Baryonix all the way! Breed them, have a mate boosted couple, give them a decent saddle, stuff fish in their inventory (they won't eat anything else), and off you go. You sit high enough that the spit from Arthropleura won't reach your armor, so you can just kill them on sight! After the TLC, it might be worth to have another look at Raptors with pack and mate boost. I think they'll just shred almost every cave now, and wolves are obsolete. They combine the strength (pack boost) of wolves with the saddles of sabertooths plus the saddle - height (Arthropleura) of Baryonix .

[@stickylungs]

I swear every video something unexpected happens 😂💀💀

[@grimreaper8575]

This is mostly untested but at the moment (jan 2019) tamed vultures will never act aggressively. Regardless of settings they will only ever escalate to neutral. That being said you can somewhat trick the coding to make them aggressive. The untested idea is to have a pack of vultures follow you with a dimorphodon set to aggressive and high target range on your shoulder. The vultures will take the dimorphs lead at attack whatever it decides to target. The test I did had an aggressive jerboa on my shoulder instead of a dimorph. The result was whatever got near me the vultures would slaughter within seconds. Tl:Dr vultures are always passive or neutral, using another tame on aggressive may get them to attack before you get hurt.

In ark mobile dire wolves can wear helmets. Making them super high on the Ark mobile list; they also have amazing jumps.

[@p5eudo883]

To anyone using this to make decisions: don't. This video is awful. First: Notice how his gigantopithicus is very bloody while he's talking about how tough they are? Notice how it dies right after? That's not to say they're useless. They can be used effectively. But they are not tanky tames unless you get a really good helmet on them. And then you have to be very good about swapping it for a full durability helmet when it breaks. Second: Note how he's saying the vulture's damage is on par with the direwolf's. The Vulture is doing about 75 damage a hit, while the direwolf is doing about 83 damage a hit. Seems to back up CJ's claim. Until you notice that the direwolf is level 154, and the vulture is level 225. That's a 71 level difference. Nearly 50% higher level than the direwolf. That said, of course it's good to bring a solid shoulder pet with you. They can add significant DPS, especially to Onycs. I generally bring a dimorphodon for that purpose. No offense meant, CJ. But your tone is way too optimistic in a lot of these videos. So much so, that they're often flat out misleading. I know this is an old video.

Depend on the cave , there are caves that you can bring bigger creatures , for example the Island central cave you bring the Chali inside and they completely wreck everything .

I wish I saw this video sooner, because of how helpful it was!! I’m still a noob with ark, I can only beat 1 cave, but this video helped a lot!! So yeah I’m gonna go tame these animals lol...

[@SharpleK]

Now there are cryopods and velonasaur who can sheed everything in seconds

[@flying-axolotls4683]

You can have the daeodon as your ride mount and the vulture on your shoulder They will make an amazing team in a cave

[@landonmiller4596]

Where the heck is the raptor on this list? Should’ve been a top 6 video.

[@TinieMx]

The raptor has crap for HP, and doesn't really stand a chance in most caves, in comparison to other dinos.

[@baileynightshade617]

@@TinieMx not if you upgrade it's health to 15 hundred than bring it in with a pack, that would be godly, only cave that would be an issue is lava cave

[@TinieMx]

@@baileynightshade617 Yeah, I get you if you bring a pack! It's just that I do every cave solo, meaning with one dino only. Some of them can be really hard to navigate if you bring several dinos on follow. They might fall down cliffs and whatnot.

[@baileynightshade617]

@@TinieMx I only been in 3 caves and all of them with a pack I know the lava has tons of tricky spots but the other two had no issues at all, I understand the cliffs though that's annoying with packs, if I use my main tanky raptor I have no issue though but only cause it has 10k health 😂 went overboard

[@andrewskogen1775]

A 300% melee vulture will do the default damage of a 100% rex. Breed them in high melee, a Murder of 12 600% melee vultures will destroy a death worm in less than 15 secs. Plus they are a fridge for all perishables.

[@zahidaaviles5672]

Jurassic Overload megatherium is too big to fit in caves

[@tarich2713]

And the Titanosaur?

[@antoinecantin1780]

Nice vids, but I think this list isnt complete without the baryonix which is probably the best cave tame I can think of

[@snbjgaming6058]

What is with the Megatherium ? :(

[@sambochay3738]

It cant fit in any caves

[@CAFC_DANBRO]

Hi do you recommended bringing a mix of all of the creatures

[@niksagaming2275]

Vulture? ... Bro, you will die extremely fast cuzz you take the damage . All other creatures are better because they tank the damage unless it dies.

[@grandadmiralbreloom1218]

Niksa Gaming he did say use it while on a mount or while attacking. Ideally you won't just stand there and let the vulture do all the fighting, the vulture will be an added line of offense/defense if shit goes sideways. Lol

[@niksagaming2275]

Oh yea ... my bad

[@BlazingInferno00]

Ideally u'd have a good metal shield to block hits and good sword or pike as well

[@khalilcarney4156]

So you guys are saying its only good wit mount? But you dont need a vulture for a mount so wouldnt s vulture be worse then a mount

[@TellaTubbywithagun]

you should've made this a top 10, because I can think of at least 5 i find better for caves. number 1 is baryonyx, lets just get that out of the way, we all know its the best cave creature. Then in any order you like, otters are great for holding artifacts and helping you not freeze or overheat. Megatheriums are on the bigger side, but it kills bugs better than anything else. next youve got thyla, again its big, but it can deal with anything you find in caves, and can climb walls. the megalania is insane, its git good speed and health, with decent melee, but where it really shines is its ability to climb and run on any surface no matter the angle. and finally basilos are the best for the underwater caves, but of course cant be used on land. i also dont mind bringing in a beelzebufo if i need cememnting paste, they move really fast, can jump super high and far, and have good health. also worth mentioning that there are creatures on other maps, like desmodus which is the only creature that can fly in caves, can cling to walls, one of the few flyers you can use weapons on, can detect enemies, and can go invisible. the ravagers are just sabers on steroids, smaller, and can walk on ziplines. rockdrakes dont fit into alot of caves, but they can go invisible and walk on walls, and are great swimmers. finally shadowmanes can go invisile, great melee and health, super fast, imo one of the best jumpers in the game, and can teleport. thats just my opinion, but some advice for anyone looking for it

[@Yungrexk]

Did you forget the thylacleo

[@michelledailing7354]

gold king harris no, a thyla is strong but its to big. And its ability isnt to useful in most caves

[@anamendoza-rb7iu]

take a megalania instead

[@misspurdy27288]

If you have access to valguero, deinonychus are the KINGS of caves. Especially in the endgame when you have cryopods. There is no better weapon in ark than a cryopod containing a high level imprinted deinonychus on aggressive

Mumin Trollet the bulbdog

[@lisareisen1147]

He means beezlebufo

[@saurosthewise7371]

Honestly, take a turtle, some dilos, and a raptor or 2. If the turtle will fit. Take him in and let him carry resources, the raptors and dilos are pretty good in xaves. Dilos especially since the enemies can rarely effectively sidestep their acid.

[@arctotherium1021]

I really thought Thylas would be on here. Can anyone explain why they may not be as good aside from maybe being too big? (I realize this video is a couple years old so things may have changed now!)

[@kmgg5961]

I recommend a high level raptor or dilo.

[@johndlevasseur]

For me the otter is the clear choice for cave thermal protection and artifact carrying. The number 5,4,2 are my go to ride Dino’s for caves.

[@tmacsolos]

I like a Baryonyx personally over some of those other mounts. Swims, jumps, fast, good aoe attack range, spin stun attack for the caves with water and takes reduced torpor so it's better versus scorpions, spiders and snakes.

[@ultimafire2001]

So combing the deodon with the vulture. Sweet jesus that's genius

[@avianflu4516]

Personally I felt like Thylacoleos would be good for caves because it does more damage then saber tooth and has more Health then a dire wolf and has a saddle. It also has a great jump and climbs walls so I thought it would be good for caves. What do you think? And correct me if I’m wrong about something mentioned.

[@janhardlxix5048]

it IS the best cave diver.

[@keithchadwick7661]

Swarm of vultures or dimorphs should do the trick. 8-10 high health little buddies and they'll shred anything that comes your way. Just don't expect to survive for very long going on foot with a flock, you should still ride in with a strong main dino

[@adamkeerl5335]

For a shoulder mount i think a better one would be a dimorphodon because they hit harder. Can carry more and collect resourses more efficienctly.
