[@mr.couchpotato8747]

I think you underrated Aberration a little bit because you can't get cactus broth for the bossfight by default on this map. Also it's extremly hard to get element on it because you need two alpha trophies of an alpha Reaper and an alpha Basilisc and they're extremly hard to find. And doing alpha Rockwell is the best way to get element.

[@JasesAce]

@ you actually can get cactus broth on aberration now by using an industrial grinder! Jonna-x has a 5 minute guide on it

[@mr.couchpotato8747]

@@JasesAce Really?! That's new to me. Thanks for the info. But it's still a good video:)

[@JasesAce]

@ yep! Glad I could help and glad you enjoyed. More content coming soon

[@moonhope3638]

Legit list. It really hits the mark! Makes me wonder how they are going to remaster gen 1.

[@JasesAce]

Thanks! I think they make some alpha missions slightly easier and probably make the bog a little easier as well, my guess is they do this through adding a new creature that helps early game progression

[@Ramtomer2]

Omg finally someone who agrees that SE is easier than the island! Great video btw

[@JasesAce]

haha yeah it is definitely easier than the island IMO, glad you enjoyed it, more ark content coming soon!

[@abcjanybodycanjoin660]

Legit list amazing voice over and very interesting video explaining everything just wow!!

[@JasesAce]

Thank you! More to come very soon

[@kingiver8]

Good map ranking!! But i think some bosses got difficulty a little underestimated

[@JasesAce]

Thanks! I think a lot of the bosses are in the same ballpark, I’ll be making a boss difficulty ranking in a couple weeks so stay tuned!

[@Mads.2.0]

Really good video!! Super high quality and entertaining :))

[@JasesAce]

thank you! more content coming soon

[@Jackiboy518]

Awesome vid agree 100% beating all of arks maps was painful

[@JasesAce]

yeah I've beaten all the maps at least once and I'm pretty happy with the rankings, Scorched Earth and Fjordur was the biggest tossup for me

[@Jackiboy518]

I put fjordur over scorched because hati and skoll murdered my andrewsarchuses

[@JasesAce]

@ yeah the range of bosses definitely makes it a challenging map

[@kanix01]

9:36 i'd say that the manticore is the easiest boss in the entire game (not just the top 6) also amazing video

[@JasesAce]

It might be, I haven't put a lot of thought into it to be honest, I have a boss difficulty ranking coming in a few weeks though so stay tuned!

[@JasesAce]

also thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@bigchungbus5756]

Its Rare i say this to anybody on the internet but... I 100% agree with pretty much every pick. thats is insane wow. Extinction and gen 1 were my picks right from the start, though i am surprised to see gen 2 fairly high. I rly want to play through gen 1 again tbh, but all my friends are either done with ark, or are waiting for it in ascended.

[@JasesAce]

Glad you agreed with it, I’ll be hosting events in my discord where I hope to get a lot of people playing ark again so if you’re interested in that join up!

[@mayamittal5567]

Seems like a good list to me

[@JasesAce]

Glad you enjoyed

[@HadesSyntax5049]

13:26 I felt that. Great video!

[@JasesAce]

Haha thanks, glad you enjoyed it! more coming soon

[@wooperdatrooper9171]

Actualy good list well done👍

[@JasesAce]

Thanks! More to come soon

[@TaoGamer22]

I think the island should be a little higher but it's only my opinion I appreciate the effort u put in ur videos see ya🤙

[@JasesAce]

I considered it over Aberration but I opted to go Ab, glad you enjoyed!

[@ARKtic_Monkey]

frfr

[@finnanderson3968]

I’ve never beat an ark map despite having about 500 hours across pc, Xbox, ase, and asa. I recently started on asa scorched earth and just got my first few wyverns. Hoping this is the attempt I stick with and finally beat!

[@JasesAce]

You made it through the hard part! Best of luck!

[@OfficialPixelRealms]

Scorched should be higher but good list

[@JasesAce]

Maybe over Fjordur, but it definitely isnt top 4 IMO

[@fakeAratPrime]

Ragnarok makes Scorched Earth engrams available aswell. Except from a few nit-picks here and there, this video is pretty good!

[@JasesAce]

Yeah I forgot that the scorched engrams also came in drops on top of being available from the mini bosses

[@fakeAratPrime]

@JasesAce I think that you can straight up learn them on the fly, but haven't played Rag in a long time so I might be wrong.

[@JasesAce]

@ I don’t think you can if you don’t have scorched DLC but you may be able to with it, I haven’t played the map in like 6* years so we’re in the same boat 😂

[@ThatSweatKokigod]

@@JasesAce thx bro

[@nunobirb]

Let's ignore the manticore being shown as one of the island bosses next to the monkey and dragon when you said broodmother XD

[@JasesAce]

@@nunobirb I do my best sometimes I mess up in editing, hope you enjoyed regardless 😂

[@Nashvegas21]

There is no reason to be a dbag and point out things like this.

[@joshjcastillo]

Great video👌 agree with every one🔥

[@JasesAce]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@ScathingSerperior]

Honestly, the island would be easier if it wasn't for the abysmal wild dino levels. It's insane. On most maps, I try to get 150s for the breeding lines but, on the island, I'll take 120s because 150s are just so hard to find and they're still not guaranteed to be good, depending on stat distribution

[@JasesAce]

Yeah the low levels are brutal for getting the mid game started, I’m picky and still do ~135+ for island and it’s awful

[@travionmarcusrussell698]

To me I think the island or ragnarok are the best map for players starting out because they are simple but still provides enough of a Challenge.

[@travionmarcusrussell698]

And also nice video 😁

[@JasesAce]

I suggested Ragnarok too, I think it's the best beginner map in Ark for sure. Glad you enjoyed, more coming soon!

[@tacterz7572]

Awesome video! 😃

[@JasesAce]

Thanks!

[@alexortega5833]

Nice video! Scorched earth should just be higher in my opinion

[@JasesAce]

I could see it being above Fjordur but honestly I don't think it's very close to the top 4

[@JasesAce]

also thank you! glad you enjoyed it!

[@JudgePuppy]

Gen 2 on console should be one of the hardest maps. Missions like Star Dolphin are extremely hard

[@JasesAce]

I could definitely see that argument, if the missions on gen 2 were ridiculously hard I’d probably move it up somewhere around scorched and fjordur

[@Butter1510]

Every map has access to the harpoon gun

[@knight8563]

Looks like I’m starting on the centre when I pick up ASA then

[@JasesAce]

Glad I could help!

[@felixdrouin8217]

For me i think if you know what your doing aberration is a great map

[@JasesAce]

ive said in previous videos i think its the best map in ark, its just definitely more challenging than most maps even for experienced players because it just simply has more things that can kill you in it, the mushrooms alone are more dangerous than anything on crystal isles

[@joehannesGørAlt]

Arh yes island has the broodmother, disguised as a manticore xD

[@JasesAce]

hahahaha yeah i may have done a minor editing blunder there XD

[@IronForce05]

I agree with 99% of the list but i still think extinction is slightly harder than genesis 1

[@JasesAce]

I definitely think it’s Gen 1 but Extinction is by far harder than everything else. Extinction is the only map in the game that has an argument other than Gen 1 IMO

[@IronForce05]

@ agreed, great video by the way keep up the good work.

[@RaptorsTroll2]

You planning on holding onto Ark 2 give away for next 2 years 😂😂😂

[@JasesAce]

@@RaptorsTroll2 haha I’ve told people on my server if they postpone it I have absolutely no issue buying something of equal $60 value just in case 😂

[@olivergd5387]

I get what you mean about genesis part 2 being extremely easy but you overlooked the most difficult part of it. That being the boss, Rockwell on genesis part 2 is easily the hardest boss in the game and that should count towards the final score. I would put genesis part 2 at number 7-6

[@JasesAce]

@@olivergd5387 I don’t think it’s the hardest boss in the game at all honestly, the gen 1 boss, extinction final boss, the island final boss at least are definitely harder than it imo. Why do u think it’s the hardest?

[@olivergd5387]

@@JasesAce I made a mistake I confused the genesis part 2 boss with the genesis part 1 boss. Please forget that I said anything.

[@JasesAce]

@ haha no worries, hope you enjoyed otherwise!

[@junkers87stuka71]

Calling aberrations boss easy with broth when it isn't naturally available on ab is the only issue i had with this whole thing

[@JasesAce]

@@junkers87stuka71 it actually is in Ascended! There’s a cave that drops thorny saddles which can be industrially grinded to get cactus, look up “how to get cactus broth aberration” there’s a good tutorial on it by Jonna-X

[@DrewEye]

2:33 crystal isles won't be out for a LONG time

[@JasesAce]

@@DrewEye I made a video 5 months ago about a future extinction project and I’m sticking to it, that being said yeah crystal will be out like next year from now

[@Connection_Error-px7bn]

man i haven't even beaten the island and i'm still on ASE (3.5k hours)

[@JasesAce]

It’s a grindy one for sure, the most consistent strategy in my opinion is just making a super strong theri army because it’s strong vs all bosses and Tek Cave

[@ziudra91]

I expected SE to be near the bottom. Definitely the map I clear the fastest.

[@JasesAce]

It is very quick speed wise but I think in that short timespan there’s more difficulty than half the maps have in their longer playtime

[@GoGoOnGordon]

Im only 5 secs in this video, I can already tell you the answer it’s Genesis 2. That map is easy mode.

[@sudafederall6179]

I hope when they bring Fjordur into ASA that they don't ruin the graphics like they did with every other map in game. ASA is so grainy and blurry looking and poorly optimized.

[@JasesAce]

@@sudafederall6179 I think some maps look better but yeah they definitely all need work done to them

[@FireFight.Lullabies]

great info but your speaking voice sounds like 90% of content creator community. like youre speed reading a script and not jsut being natural about it.

@@FireFight.Lullabies the way I do these is I make an outline to stay relatively on topic and free flow from there, I hope to improve the voiceovers as I make more videos (still fairly new to the whole KZbin thing). Thanks for the feedback, hope you enjoyed!

Ive actually been building out a minimum spec list because of Black Friday coming up, join my discord I’ll be posting about this exact topic there over the coming weeks

[@MOD3RNS4V4G3]

If you're playing pvp, everything is hard. If you're playing pve, everything is easy. that's how i look at it.

[@JasesAce]

Yeah of course pvp is harder, especially official where everyone is cheating and you have to be online 24/7, this is a comment I would’ve made a couple years ago actually but I think Gen 1 is pretty hard to beat solo PVE and extinction is super grindy

wth even is this? Half of these maps aren't even on ASA yet. Buncha people still playing ASE on their toasters?

[@Kyydon]

Considering ASE has double the player base of ASA, yeah. The title also says every ark map, were you really expecting a list of like 3 or 4 maps? What a boring video that would be

[@JasesAce]

Yeah can’t really make a video on 4 maps, the difficulty carries over though for what it’s worth so ASA map rankings difficulty wise are here
