Doing god work right here

[@theyouthmusicgroup4649]

I haven't watched this yet but this is what we want to see. Will always support you bro

[@allyson6735]

Got my Argy FINALLY today. It was an adventure. Accidentally killed one. Had one taming in a pen and happened to also get an any taming right next to it… pack of hyenas came and killed them in seconds. 🤣 Finally got one and this girl has survived three trexes that have killed me in one day. I love her. 😂

[@igorfrocha2]

Great vid Phlinger but u should think of doing some for like water dinos too. Like basi is great but a tuso is just as great of a water mount if not better for basis can't go to extreme depths. Still already knew all of that; however, I think it's great u do these vids for it helps those whom don't know this stuff especially new players too! Keep up the amazing work dude and looking forward to watching u defeat rockwell! :) good luck!

Good Morning Phlinger and Phamily! I hope your weekend was everything you wanted it to be!

[@currygirl7225]

Woo-hoo Phlinger, coffees ☕ and Ark! Let's gooooo! ❤

[@lvl76darkelf]

Tysm for the new ark content. Im JUST getting into this game

[@JohnVanderbeck]

IMHO getting a Pteradon early on is a GAME CHANGER, at least for me. No longer being bound to the earth just completely changes everything and they are rather easy to tame at the saddle level.

[@brandonfetter3559]

Can't wait to see what makes the list! Coffee time pham!

[@luckie13gaming7]

Good morning Phlinger and all , hope you all have an awesome Monday 🥰

[@billd.akaevylaz754]

I’m sure there is some timing trick that I haven’t figured out with the Queen Bee. But that crap sux major moose balls. I’ve managed to get lucky twice, but it took hours and hours and hours trying over and over. Sometimes they simply won’t take the kibble whether they are agro or not.

[@scottdonohue3379]

Happy Monday Phlinger!

[@Audiatrix]

Id go to say argies are an improved smithy, as i use them for saddle creation due to their weight stat and more inventory slots aswell.

[@donnawilson6489]

Hi Phlinger Coffee time. :)

[@TheApexSword]

Rhyniognatha should have been after queen bee 👀 Same weight as an argy or more, can pick up structures, as fast as a pteradon, and 2 seater saddle Can also latch onto walls, and shoot resin like its an assault rifle Also takes 50% damage reduction through the resin armor ability

[@dixiehouchen2161]

Thanks again Phlinger for the great videos, and have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@jonsolo32]

The Yuty is extremely hard to tame also. Just trapping it while on a mount is hard with the fear roar.

[@Ronwjr]

Raft trap with built in spawn cabin

[@christopherdash1476]

More helpful tips for taming bee's in the red woods bring a sickle and clear all bushes, and if you can get alest one piece of kibble

[@RabbitTeaPot]

Also the redwoods is the WORST place to get a queen bee…there’s a far easier spot that spawns two just out in the open every time. I can’t remember the coordinates off the top of my head but there’s plenary of videos out there that show you the spot. Imo once you know that spot it puts the bee on way down the list on hardest to tame. Personally I think the Theri is the hardest because of how hard it hits when you’re trying to trap it plus it’s almost homing like beacon it has on its intent to walk up to you and murder you and your tames every single time.

[@MFreya-b2v]

Just starting today. Wish me luck! Liked and subscribed!

[@WhiTEwaLL_GamINg]

NO, No, no… Number 1 is always PARASAUR!!! You can bola-bash them with clubs. You can saddle them very early game. They have the best mobility early game to get you around the map. They have great health and attack. They can carry way more than you’d expect! They can harvest berries, thatch and help get meat and hide by easily killing dinos. They can warn you of nearby enemies before they see you and can even scare away smaller enemies. Always make a Parasaur your first mount!

[@WhiTEwaLL_GamINg]

I would change the Moschops to Parasaur and make it number 1.

[@WhiTEwaLL_GamINg]

The Parasaur is also how you locate the Thylacoleo without becoming its lunch once you’re ready to tame it.

[@pvtmiller21]

thanks Phlinger!

[@RavenVI]

Taming argies without traps is fairly easy, the main obstacle with it isn't the difficulty, it's the third party creatures and having to chase the bird once it's high on torpor (and they really love to fly over water for me)

[@gator7537]

Wow thanks this is very helpful, I'm new to this game and I defo suck lol

[@Stikbug-420]

thx you phlinger

[@freedog632]

Might not seem necessary, but if you plan on making kibble, and/or using plant x turrets, you need fertilizer. Dung beetles far surpassed any other method of making fert.

[@madcapmagician3130]

I thought the mammoth had lost its wood gathering buff? I don’t normally touch mammoths, they are never alone and the environment is not your friend.

[@RabbitTeaPot]

I’m so confused, I always use a Bary for the underwater caves on the island because of their stun attack. Gives you a chance to attack with out being mega chomped by the billions of sharks.

[@philphlegm2549]

This video was sooo sooo gooood

[@darkfiredelight5544]

Good morning! I just need to complain for a moment Because the Rhynoganthia is making swamp hunting impossible, or even being near wetlands.... I'm still on evolved, it was the last Dino we're getting And I really wish we hadn't! It's done morning but make the swamps significantly harder and nearly impossible to get over it by, forget hunting for a mount! I'm having the worst time getting a Bary...or any gator friend... I'm about to have a beaver as my beginner water mount.... I have plenty of the male drops to get one I just wish they were gone though.... Worse than Yuti's!

[@Ronwjr]

If you’re struggling that hard with this games path finding then you need to watch more vids on how. I always go straight for a high level Rex even without the saddle unlocked. You can always build a sawn cabin slash taming trap with spikes on the sides of the trap walls and a Dino gate entrance. Run into the trap into your cabin and then run around and close the Dino gate on your tame. You can place large bear traps in it too if your slow.

[@darkfiredelight5544]

@Ronwjr it's not the taming part, I've been doing that fine It's the giant Rhynoganthia bugs ambushing me every few moments. I'm on evolved on the switch, don't know if that makes a difference But the murder-helicopters are causing issues and I don't want to run with a giant entourage of dinos for protection, things I want get killed that way

[@Ronwjr]

@ well then kite it to a paracer lol. Then kite your baryonix to the tame pen. One good rex destroys the entire swamp though

[@darkfiredelight5544]

@@Ronwjr a pack of argies works better on the bug

[@Ronwjr]

@ them too, but a good high level Rex wrecks the whole swamp

[@louisbarton688]

Pterdon,argie,anky,doedi,beaver,thyla optional but I just love em,boss battles rexes and theirs,and of course yuti

[@GSBro]

TIL Argy's can pick up Thyla's in ASE. Had no clue, thought it was only in ASA for whatever reason.

[@tristanflory1512]

I’m going to do a play through with just these games in this order

[@xivaKenpachi]

Gotta say the embermane from carnivore island was a pretty sick tame as well, not to hard.

[@peterharte88]

Dung beetle!!! - free oil and fertiliser? And it keeps the base nice n clean…

[@staceyc.7164]

I have never been able to tame a Queen Bee. I have lost count of how many attempts I've made. Not one time has the feed option presented itself. If I can not feed it, I can not tame it.

[@0verPar]

I tamed my first yuti that had got stuck on a rock and was a sitting duck haha

[@dhandymandarren3074]

15:52 my first argy was on the side of the volcano and I had to land oo The rocks to climb down to it well fall down to it. Lol

[@lazygamer7176]

locations on maps would help. i tried to spawn a thylo, on the island map and it said, i could not?

[@MineVoid85]

The Therizinosarus means "Multiple Sword reaper lizard."

[@GSBro]

Checks out.

[@tolgaaydogdu8303]

How about sabrertoths , fast and furious and eaaier to tame , good for leather and chitin harvest

[@Phlinger]

Saber's are amazing, but not essential... Thyla's made sure of that.

[@JD-boyz]

Thyla is much better then saberthoot.

[@Chimarkgames]

u cant pick up wild dinos with argy if u are on official. also I finished the whole ark the island without the thyla so it is not a must to have at all.

[@grim_tobe]

You can in pvp

[@mcdiscret9632]

I mean....you can do the boss fights without rexes, theris, etc but it doesn't mean your life would be much easier with those. Maybe not technically "essential" but technically you don't "need" any dinos till you start trying to do caves and boss fights. You may not "need" a thyla but they are one of the best mounts

[@HashbrownXx]

Bobs your uncle haha

[@mochiboot6502]

Maybe consider a script? I love your positive energy though dont change that!!

[@louisbarton688]

And don't forget basilo for water best sea mount bar none

[@louisbarton688]

I'm playing forglar ATM mod map and it's great

[@RockyCabybara]

Can wr be expecting ragnarok 😮?

[@chelseaeickleberry4646]

I wonder if any of these tames are absolutely essential...

[@Nashvegas21]

Bro, theri is as good, if not better, than mammoth for wood

[@bazar2021]

Gathering yeah it’s just that their weight isn’t that good. I do use theris for wood personally tho. On this playthrough I didn’t feel like babysitting a beaver while I tame it, so I been using theris and my hatchet, and the bronto. Really the bronto is to get berries but I end up getting wood anyway and just keep what I get. Beaver is honestly better than mammoth too with the smithy saddle and weight reduction. I feel like mammoths are more useful in PvP with the damage reduction buff.

[@mcdiscret9632]

Tbh Therri is one of my most essential dinos. It's such an all-rounder when you get a line of decent leveled ones. You can pretty much level them to harvest whatever you want so long as it's an organic material.

[@bazar2021]

@@mcdiscret9632 yeah they harvest just about everything and the moschops can get anything that it can’t get. Those 2 are the best harvesters by far. Theris are a lot better than others at getting the rare flowers mushrooms and plant seeds too.

[@ArchDuke358]

Make a trap! It's easy
