In-Depth MUTATION STACKING GUIDE for ARK: Survival Evolved

You ask, I deliver. After my Breeding Video, a lot of you guys asked me not only how the Mutation Stacking in general works but also how to do it. So here is the Video for everyone who needed more information on this particular topic. Please make sure you watched the Breeding Video before this so you understand what all the fuzz is about.

Handsome squidward :3

[@TiiaAurora]

You won the internet today!

[@tbone_2k217]

Tiia Yay!

[@khelek100]

@@TiiaAurora Your video was really well done. I've probably watch 5-6 hours of KZbin on breeding and yours is the best, shorter than 1 hour version I have seen.

[@TiiaAurora]

@@khelek100 Thank you, I am glad it helped you :)

[@khelek100]

@@TiiaAurora Sorry last message. Your breakdown of the odd and even stat points and end game breeding targets is a really awesome tip. You are the only one I've seen sharing that tip so thank you!

[@Brandon-tk2rs]

I know I'm like 2 years late but I just started playing ARK and this is the best breeding guide I have found on KZbin. Thanks for explaining everything so clearly, now I can get some funky color otters with a lot of health to keep them alive :P

[@Zhepp]

I'm right there with you. Was so confused on how to get 20/20 this makes it easier to understand

[@missingaria2503]

Agreed. I come away from ark and come back every so often and I always need a mutation refresher course. Hers is the best.

[@ODNI601]

I just watched the whole vidoe and iam confident to say I know how to Breed in Ark,What a great Vidoe.

[@erikmuniz23]

Just watched the video and I can honestly say this is the best explanation for me on breeding in ark. I was always left more confused with others, but honestly, the visual aid without the use of the actual dinos helped me understand alot more. Also the explanation of the ghost mutations. Which now I understand why it never worked for me

[@hms.fortune5829]

Just started playing ark and wanted to get into breeding (thanks to this explanation)

[@friendlyneighborhoodspider3962]

I got a double oxy mutation. My wyverns will never drowned.

[@NCIINOX]

Lucky i got movement ill never see my mutations

[@Ghost_FEU]

Lol thats just bad luck you got arkd friend

[@vSnxgxs]

That’s gonna be really good when you go to an underwater cave 👍

[@smugapplegaming8621]

Hah same… I’m on scorched earth :(

[@SralEd]

Imagine having oxyden mutation and not getting your bird drowned while it wad knocked

[@Randomclown]

Thank you for the visual break down of the mutation counters. This video actually showed me what I was doing wrong and it’s edited so there’s no drawn out sentences like many other videos on mutations I’ve seen.

[@qsdude566]

Handsome Squidward, This is honestly the best Breeding mutation video ive ever seen. Especially compared to the bigger Ark Content youtubers that just ramble through it. Very well put and informative, Thank you!

[@Arindam_Gaming]

I agree. This is the best video & I have bookmarked it.

[@leterjwz]

I agree 2!!!

[@melodic_monk]

Handsome Squidward. You have the best mutation guides out of all of them that I've found on here. Keep up the good work! :)

[@SerMarston]

Handsome Squidward! I'm still quite new to both breeding and stacking mutations all while struggling to optimise it. Yet this one single video here cleared up absolutely all the issues I had, can't thank you enough for such a simple, clear and informative video! This will be the video I instantly share to people whenever they need tips

[@TiiaAurora]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@Lugdruud]

i watched like 5 "biggest" ark youtuber guides on breeding and mutations and i thought that i understand it and know how to do that... but i'm really glad that i watched your video, because i would make horrible mistakes.. thank you for explanation, very usefull and well edited!

[@nova14414]

So did I, hell I even watched Syntac and Raasclarks video and STILL didn't fully understand and trust me I tried to understand. And it helped alittle but I was still extremely confused and started to get frustrated when I tried to figure it out myself. And I wanted to give up mutations, but I still needed dinos for my first ever boss fight (started playing befor part 2 came out and I wanted that to be my first boss fight. I don't know why specifically that fight, probably just wanted a good challenge). So I kept looking on KZbin thinking there had to be some good clear guide on KZbin, but like you after 5 videos I was just more confused. I finally found her videos and everything makes so much more sense now! I am now slowly on my way to getting my army set up for the Rockwell boss fight.

[@bayupahleza4835]

Handsome squidward, you the only one who can describe clearly about stacking mutation

[@rachelbrewer9857]

Best mutation guide I've ever seen in my life. Wow. You went so in depth with this, made it easy to understand

[@TiiaAurora]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sirp21]

Does it work like this on ark mobile???

[@TiiaAurora]

@@sirp21 I havent played mobile yet, so I cant tell you for sure.

[@sirp21]

Ill try

[@mashuuu7716]

omg the infographic did it for me, I've watched lots of videos about breeding but I always found myself lost in the middle of the explanation, thank you so much for this video, now it feels like I've started to understand how it works, can't wait to experiment!

[@vamhp4518]

You did a good job on this. I had a couple people ask me to explain breeding to them, but no matter how I explained it, they didn't really understand. Now I can send this video to them! :)

[@poppychalupa9390]

Basically just get the mutations all on father side and use 0/0 females when stacking great video man must have taken a lot of work

[@egomaniac1851]

I did not undestand nothing but her voice is harmony for my ears.

[@samuils]

Thank you very much! I keep coming back to this video to help me along, full of great information and absolutely answers every question a breeder will have.

[@williamwallace6477]

Finally understand the parents mutations counter transfer... after dozens of videos. You're the first who really explained the difference between the parents mutations counter transfering on a baby and the actual count of mutations on a baby.. thanks :)

[@randomrazl4215]

This helped tremendously! Handsome Squidward

[@opinionatedjam]

This is how I know I have entirely too much time into this game lol After tons of breeding and mutation farming, I came here to see how you were explaining it to a new player, and you did NOT disappoint :) Fantastic explanations and I wouldnt have said it much different myself. Glad to see ARK contributors like you in the community. oh, and i guess 'Handsome Squidward' xD I stayed

[@PenumbralBehemoth]

Other youtubers have done great jobs trying to break down the process, but your diagrams were by far the most helpful (being a visual learner of course). Thanks for the great video.

[@Bifocal_Burrito]

This was the only thing that left me scratching my head and you explained it wonderfuly!

[@Necaradan666]

I've seen a triple mutation. Rex with double health + speed mutation. Crazy stuff, useless to keep but it was so rare I didn't kill it.

[@Marine5D]

Same, after playing Ark for 2,5k hours i have seen triple mutations 2 times. Both were horrible :D

[@Meancode]

Handsome squidward! By God this (and your previous) video is BY FAR the clearest and easiest to understand on this subject. Thank you so much. Instant sub!

[@josephrhoads8612]

Handsome squidward, this was super helpful I always thought I had let get the male side to stack only and I didn’t know that it would move once you replace and breed with it. Best video I’ve seen on explaining how mutations and counters work!

[@Energiz3rs]

finaly, a video that answers all the questions regarding mutations with good presentation

[@InSaNeDefiance]

This was hands down the best video explaining everything... I now fully understand it all thanks to you I know the video is over a year old but if you're seeing this THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@Infin8Rain]

Handsome Squidward. What a great explanation.. The amount of time I spent trying to understand how this worked when my friend was explaining.. I cant even count that high.. Thank you.. So much!!

[@jaymiester5892]

Finally a video on mutations that clearly explain what I needed to know. The visuals were just the icing on the cake!! Tyvm you kept a adhd person entertained through an informative video 🤣🤣

[@morningstar4264]

Handsome squidward. This actually resolved some confusion I’ve had with breeding due to other “guides” but now I have confidence in breeding out what I need

[@Doth_]

This answered every question i had and i only had to watch it once. What a masterpiece

[@LordSteinard]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It is in depth and the graphics makes it easy to understand.

[@TiiaAurora]

I am glad it was of help!

[@yournightmare1398]

My oh my, this Handsome Squidward. Few years later and the guide is still very VERY useful. I'm so glad I came across your breeding guides in which you included common questions asked as I could never find anywhere an answer for them. I can finally completely understand, step by step, and manage to start breeding on my own without the risk of falling into yet another question I have to search for with no hope of solving. My biggest fear was this mutation stacking as I could simply not understand due to not clear explanations. I thank you for the time and effort you've put into the guide!

[@ThisIsAUsername69]

Best mutation guide I saw hands down. Thanks!

[@Shineinpoverty]

I had so many questions before I watched this video. It answered most questions I could not even express clearly. Thank you very much.

[@damasrion9192]

Handsome Squidward, this video was epic. I had a that moment where it hit me and I just understood. easily the best explanation.

[@drorec7105]

Just started playing ark ang fell in love with breeding and so far this is the most clear explanation on how to properly stack mutations, thank you ❤

[@Aleandria]

This is the best guide for breeding I've seen yet. Thank you!

[@chipachipa7601]

Ive seen like 10 videos avout mutations and this is the first that explains it clearly Thank you

[@pencilvester694]

Handsome Squiward!I've watched many videos and this is the only one that cleared it up for me,Thank you(I also subbed and liked)

[@DrunkenSinner]

Handsome Squidward! Probably the clearest explanation video out there, well done and thank you for putting this together!

[@CHO-bk8ge]

I am very late but after watching tons and tons of yt tutorials and still not getting it, the bulbdog visual examples REALLY worked out to help me understand how it works and why certain things need to be done, THANK YOU SO MUCH, oh and handsome squidward!

[@bob_the_necromancer514]

The diagram made it so much easier to understand. Saved me a lot of time. Great explanation

[@eugenesay7300]

This is the most clear explanation I had seen so far

[@realnxtgenben]

Handsome squidward! I was always so confused, mutations in breeding, and how people did it but things to you now I can do it too! I am so excited! Amazing video!

[@TiiaAurora]

I hope you have a lot of success!

[@juicemonster8948]

Handsome squidward, thank you for this video. I tried watching a different video that was like an hour long and it left me so confused, but this video helped clear it all up, so thank you.

[@TiiaAurora]

Glad I could help!

[@jdgran2439]

Can't believe I never saw any of your videos before now. This is definitely the best breeding/mutation video I've seen. After so may years I still learned something new today. While this video may be old, I just want to say thanks! Oh, and Handsome squidward? I'm to old to know what that is but, I did watch to the end.

[@TiiaAurora]

The info is still up to date tho :) one of the few moments we're happy they don't mess too much with mechanics

[@darklordmathias9405]

Howdy, Handsom Squidward, this vid actually helped a lot. Very in-depth, and I already knew a lot, but you covered the things I didn't know.

[@briansmithjr8657]

This helped me through the 20 mutations cap thank you so much

[@akali9309]

oh my god this video explainedso well, i've read many comments and watched a lot of vids but i couldn't understand any of it until i saw this video. tyssm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@craigpickerill884]

Finally a mutation video that i understood!!! Thanks for the great vid and that handsome squidward

[@stoopkidd683]

Handsom squidward, this guide is wonderful. I've been looking into getting more serious and specific with my breeding in Ark, and your guides have helped me understand eveything so well! Thank you!

[@dapandamau5]

God this was an amazing way to explain it. I've watched a lot of videos on this and the use of simple visuals and the way you explain it I really understood it this time. Thank you for being such a good teacher of ark

[@jesse2149]

Handsome squidward! Great job on the mutations breeding explination!! I have played ARK for a while now and still had trouble with keeping mutations on one side...this helps a lot! Thanks for all the hard work and great explanation!! 😁👍

[@onetwonickles9662]

Hi, Im finally understanding it now, after watching this vid the third time. Knowledge is so wonderful .Thank you from my heart. Cheers.

[@mikhailkiselev9869]

Handsome squidward! Incredibly useful, since i've been playing ARK as a 3-5 men coop game without tame tranfers, starting each map from lvl1 scratch and with boosted rates for everything, finally Extinction is making me care about proper stat distribution and mutations. I know i might be a bit too late to the party but thank you!

[@xdaddydiesel4675]

Handsome Squidward. I’ve watched a lot of these mutation stacking videos, and they always lose me at some point. This was the best mutation guide. For me, The diagrams were much better at representing how the mutations work as opposed to seeing it in game.

[@sirdanflyboy4498]

After watching many videos this one finally clicked for me , good vid and great refresher

[@TiiaAurora]

Thats awesome \o/

[@chrystian326]

Very nice explanation, I heard all the video and after just analysis the imagens to understand everything!

[@stephenhourihan814]

Handsome Squidward... this is by far the best visual representation I've seen of breeding and mutations. Thank you!!

[@nishu616]

Oh my god... Thankyou so much for visuals. You made it look so easy, I only understood mutation stacking from this video. Thankyou thankyou..you earned a sub for life.

[@TekunoTheSecond]

Handsome Squidward. This was great and cleared up some breeding issues I was having. Thanks so much for explaining it so clearly!

[@cyruswarr1192]

looking good mr handsome squidward! and thank you madam! I been playing for a while now (mobile) and just couldn't wrap my little brain around this mechanic. im happy to have found you and your super amazing bulbdog family to clear it up for me :) Danke

[@lle3712]

Handsome Squidward - such a concise explanation I didn't want to watch other people's 1hr video just to learn how to play a game. You saved me!

[@KDub777]

This helped a lot and made the taming and breeding side of ark way more interesting thank you!!!

[@Datlynx]

Thank you for this, it helped get a better insight into how the mutations work. It makes way more sense to me now, I have over 2k hours in ARK and it never really worked out for me with getting mutations correctly, I caught my mistakes and know exactly how to do it now! ☺ Also Handsome squidward😜

[@glavo4ka539]

I dont have the words to say how much i aprecciated that vid. TY!

[@xhotice]

Very nice guide Squidward!

[@dj.mariks]

2 years later Handsome Squidward lives on! Also appreciate the mentioning/adding the "Visual Learners" part of the video. Because I was starting to get mad confuzzeled XD I just focused on the bull-doggos 🤣

[@Goldwelp]

Solid video. Great job. 👍

[@nastube4052]

Excellent! I'm here mostly for the going over 20 thing, and that was perfectly explained. I have also pieced together that if you are at 254 in a stat, you can still add points into it from leveling, but if you go to 255 in a stat, it will not let you put points into it from leveling. I would not recommend that insanity without dino storage mod to autopickup babies. But then you can build elaborate 3 level areas where females can be below and above a male to maximize your output. :D

[@mattymoosjoy]

Handsome squidward confused me so much XD great vid thanks for the work on the infographics as well, I actually get it now and am gonna breed some great dinos :)

[@merzidix3856]

I've watched a few videos about mutations and this is the best by so far. Thanks a lot. I was making so many mistakes.

this video was dope, thank you so much

[@deadxd1026]

Handsome squidward. Doing this with a modded server is very helpful. This is my first time every getting into breeding, very in depth and visual was good for me. Unlike other videos they tell you how to do it but neglect to show you what it will look like.

[@Coldpines28]

Handsome Squidward! Thank you so much this was very detailed and your voice is pleasant to listen to

[@stormymiddleton7315]

Handsome squidward! You explained that really well, I think it actually made sense to me finally!

[@qbabq]

Thank You! I finally understood mutation stacking. I've watched so many guides and I still had some doubts. Now everything is clear - first of all, why we don't need (or even don't want) to have the 20/20 mutation in the female. Plus, in many guides I have seen information that we only care about the mutation in the male - you can see that the mutation in the female is also ok, but it requires one more iteration to transfer it to the male. Thanks again! E: Handsome Squidward :p

[@Godon411]

Handsome squidward. Thank you for this. I've been looking for a video that explains this in depth. This is very helpful
