Only 1 suggestion: Always bring an otter if you have one because unless they changed it and I didn't see it, it is able to hold multiple artifacts in it's inventory ;)

[@javiarg6057]

They didn't change it and in the wiki says "can hold more than one of the same type of Artifact. This is a feature, not a bug." So i think it will stay as it is...

[@BillKayNJ]

@@javiarg6057 This doesn't apply to the otters on mobile, they can only hold one. They may view it as an exploit rather than a bug, since they coded it to not work on the newer version

[@mr.nobody4398]

[@saobie3142]

13:18 was my first ever cave, iv got some tips for people who may be newer to it Back when i first ran this, i had a bad habit of going out solo, not bringing tames with me. That being said, i did get the artifact out of there without a terrible amount of trouble What you need is: 1-3 bug repellent. 1-2 calien soup, 1-2 Canteens (2-3 water jars, dont bother using skins), DB Shotgun (Pumpy is much preferred but not required), 50-100 shots (really depends on how many times you aggro anything thats not a dilo/scorpion), Crossbow with 10+ grapple hooks Most of the dangers inside (Onycs and Aranae) are avoided with the bug repellent. The Onyc especially are the caves most threatening wildlife, try not to aggro any. Scoprions and Dilos will come at you regardless, youll be fighting a lot of them so be prepared. Pretty much every jump in the cave can be made without the use of grapples, most are not even very hard. But on pc, you dont die instantly if you fall, so the grapple can save you. You can also grapple across if you are unsure you can make the jump. Sometimes a Megalosaur spawns at the artifact, simply shoot it from a distance once, itl kill itself in the lava Basically so long as you dont touch any spiders or bats, can make a jump, not overheat, and can take on modest level dilos and scorpions, you can do this cave. Its loaded with obsidian and crystal too

Baryonix is a great cave dino. UNLESS you have the server setting to allow flyers in caves. In which case Argentavis sure is useful. Also, cryopods are ridiculously great for letting you get more types of animals into caves. I don't know how people did the snow cave before these things. I brought a theri into the cave with me using a cryopod and it was still hard.

[@dreadrabbit]

Best way to pull off the underwater caves solo (imo) is a basil and 5 baryonyx. 5 baries make both underwater caves a cake walk. I had tried a swarm of basils but for some reason they go passive in the caves if you arnt riding it and wont follow attack wistles. Good video. Always look forward to your work

The first time I went to that cave I was very careful.I searched the whole cave but still I couldn't find the artifact. After like 10 mins I got really impatient and started to rush the cave and I accidentally fell in a pit and lost a bunch of ascendant stuff.The second time I went there, I got surrounded by many bats and died and my bag disappeared into the ground and I couldn't get my stuff.The third time I lost my mind trying to find the artifact and searched online only to find out that my game is glitched and the artifact didn't spawn.😭😭

[@ividex]

First time playing Ark, the first cave I decided to go in was the snow one alone at level 95. I was so happy when I saw everything was so quiet, just some free loot and level 200+ fish (which I thought was some kind of joke). I guessed the difficulty was gonna be getting to the deepest part while withstanding the freezing. Then I went deeper I had a stroke after a 200+ purlovia jumped on me. Luckily before going in I set up a bed in a mini base outside. Respawned to get my stuff back and retreated immediately lmao.

For the very early game, the torch is a pretty good weapon bc it sets enemies on fire and then you can run away

[@christophersagen3349]

I've been preaching the baryonyx since it was released. It can slay alpha rexes with no problem also. With a good saddle, an imprint, and some fish in its inventory it can do almost anything. I use them to tame squids mostly. Easily my fav quality of life dino

The baryonyx can jump up into the artifact location in the cave of the pack. Completely negating the need for a grapple hook or going into the underwater tunnels. But you miss out on the loot in the rest of the underwater tunnels.

[@Windmills618]

@@Phlinger what about my bear, 5k health and 400 melee ?

[@youbetzler]

@@Windmills618 Bears are typically too big to fit in most caves. IMO best mounts for each cave below Lower South cave - Thyla (other options - baryonx, daedon, dire wolf, raptor, terror bird, sabertooth) Upper South cave - Baryonyx. Hands down best for this cave, going through the water sections is pretty much impossible without a good bary. If you're on a cluster and have cryopod access, then any of the above options plus a flyer to fly up to the artifact is good or you can use grappling hooks as well. South east cave - Argentavis, can walk it through the start and fly over the scary lava jumps. Pteranodon another option as well, and if you're clustered snow owls are the best. Swamp cave - Baryonyx (other options - dire wolves, saber, terror bird) not sure if daedon or raptors do enough damage to deal with all the bugs quick enough. Lost faith - Basilo, can try and speed it with an itchy but the artifact pool usually has a mosa and plenty of jellyfish so hard to dodge those, a good basilo can deal with this cave easily. Chitin cave - Baryonyx (same as lower south but thyla won't fit) Snow cave - Allosaurus not advisable to try anything else due to purlovia and the high level creatures with knockback North east cave - Thyla. Can do with any of the others for lower south as well, but thyla's take zero fall damage so if you fall you won't die well not from the fall at least. North west cave - can't get dinos inside this cave and not worth hatching/breeding to get one inside. Not even really worth using cryopods either as there is a few spots you have to crouch to get through.

[@SongbirdGaming]

@@youbetzler I don’t think you can take flyers into caves on default settings.

[@friendlyneighborhoodspider3962]

For people trying to hide flyers. Make a parachute and fly your bird high but within wistle distance and then hop off and parachute. Do this above the cave or anywhere to keep ground creatures from getting to it.

[@ripd-bear]

Or cryo

[@Midono0]

Carno Island Cave, Artifact of the Devourer, can be soloed with a baryonyx. I find that the bary kills all the bats quicker than a thyla but it can be tricky making all the jumps back up to the top.

[@ashesgaming841]

When I did the strong cave, I decided to build a small stone base just after you crawl through at the start. I built a turret on the roof, and I built some torches where I hatched dilos, 2 thylas. I brought the mum thyla to the cave where she gave birth, and the babies could fit through the gap. I had a wall going across stopping the wild dinos from getting to the babies, and I brought the dilos through the doors past the wall where they sadly met their fates! But the thylas are still in there on my single player world and I might make some cyros to get them out shortly. It was awesome actually claiming that part of the cave while I raised a force good enough to get through the cave!

With cryopods available for anyone now, I really like a good Yuty for the snow cave. And terror bird is great for the carno island cave. If you can change your settings, allow for cave building. Then take some stone fountations and ceilings into the lava cave and carno island cave and bridge the gaps so you can charge in and out in a hurry. I also will mark off the path to the artifact with torches, esp in the lava cave.

I can’t believe you put the cave of the immune before the Carno island cave!

I always thought that carno island was the best place to get chitin. the respawn rate there is crazy high such that you can just fly around on a strong argi and kill scorpions, basically forever. plus there are like 5 supply drop spots there that only drop blue and better and come down one after the other all day and night. I don't recommend going there with anything other than a strong argi (or better) though, land mounts are too slow to take advantage of the spawn rates. that and it's crawling with apex predators

Ascendant Torches are great. But my favorite is ascendant compass. :)

I think it's funny when I first explored a cave in ark it was with a Barton, before i knew they're a good cave dino

[@hooman1197]

I really need to tame a "Barton"

Ni Ghidorah what does he mean?

[@Advance493]

You seriously still need the Scuba/Ghillie combo for the swamp cave? I thought when they added the gas mask it was supposed to end that.. Hazmat suit at least?

[@rachaelflores3810]

Lmao when the T. rex and bronto fight started 😂 crap like that happens to me anytime I try to do anything only my otter ends up dead each time somehow

What is the location of the first cave?

[@FeralSheWolf]

These are great, thanks! What do you think of Megalania for bypassing to the artifact, are they generally doable? Also, I brought dire wolves into the northwest, but they do tend to vanish through the floor so... not recommended unless you have admin commands :D A bit of advice for the vids--when you pause and sort of talk to yourself in a lower tone, USE that tone for your videos. Your regular "yelling" voice is too loud/piercing, but the quieter talking voice is great!

I am actually in the process of getting ready to explore the caves as I speak but I did need to know what to take into them cause I knew one of them had environmental damage. It's been a while since I played so am a bit rusty. Much appreciated for the recommendational order as well I will consider the order surely. Special thanks also to @Psieks one of the commenters for the timestamps. Wish me luck guys 👍

What's the minimum level baryonx needed for the easier caves?

[@RedDragon91]

You can run it on foot with cross bow. It's not hard at all. Good one to learn about caves

[@Jsa460]

@@RedDragon91 Thanks. I actually ended up running the first two with the baryonx I had a few weeks back and got through fine :) You're right they're not an overly difficult caves.

[@trevornemeth5890]

For the swamp cave, using a Ghillie chest, gloves and head with Scuba pants and fins makes the cave survivable without having the durability decrease automatically on the scuba tank, just in case anybody's struggling to get through it before their tank breaks :)

Gas Mask and Flak

[@trevornemeth5890]

@@ripd-bear at that point I didn't actually know how to use the gas mask (wasn't making new filters) so I figured it wasn't worth wasting, but wouldn't any flak gear be counter intuitive? They make you hotter and the cave is already hot af, you'd probs be dying from overheating with that unless you have some decent fort.
