Ark Survival Ascended Ultimate Mutation & Breeding Guide!

[@dre8967]

Umm might wanna revise the video and the information given.😮 To be more specific I am talking about the part where you explain mutation stacking. For example if 1 raptor has a melee mutation and the other has 2 melee mutations, they will not make 3 melee mutes. The game will either role the stat with the parent with 2 or the parent with 1.

[@TheCosmicAstro-]

So how do you get 3?

[@onewiththedragons]

​@@TheCosmicAstro- you have to breed the 2 more to remutate to 3

[@Half-lifegunnar]

Correct mutation breeding tldr. 1. Get max lvl dinos with high single stats (not necessary but saves time) 2. Breed all stats into 1 male and as many females as you want. 3A. Breed untill you get a stat mutation you want. ie hp/melee. 3B. If you get a female breed it with the male until you make a male with the mutation. 4. Use new male with the old female line and breed until you get the number of mutations you want for a single stat females should always be unmutated. Reason for this is you can get the max lvl for each stat before lvling the dino . 5. Combine all stat mutation lineages together for super dinos.

[@oranh]

6:25 i pretty sure you can't combine 2 mutations of the same stat (unless things changed) the things that get inherited form parents are the number of levels in a stat, and the number of mutations on each side of the ancestry

[@oranh]

Also you are incorrect at 8:47. The mutation counter carries over no matter what, and each stat has a 50% chance to be inherited from either parent

[@project4200]

​@oranh it's actually a 55% chance to get the better stat from perents to baby

[@Fenyxclips]

Going to be Rex breeding very soon so this helped with understanding the mechanic! Want a nice powerful one for fighting the bosses (on single player). Going to get the Oviraptors bred first for that egg collection range.

[@aysiafrederick2977]

I just started playing on Christmas so this is a very helpful vid. Thank you!

[@MorneBooysen]

I’m busy breeding Therizinos.. got base dinos with same stats and got first colour mutation of black feathers edges. But weird thing I saw is a stat increase on one baby after base breeding didn’t increase level and didn’t show mutation number change from zero but the stamina definitely increased from base!

[@armokil]

yeah, they said that different dinos have different percentage breeding increases to boost stats even without mutations

[@zepenance9571]

This is why its important to have 0 stats before you start rapid mutation breeding. if you know you have 0's in the unwanted stats then you don't need to worry about it anymore.

[@ChrisVolzke]

Its not 'showing up passively', that is misinformation. Arks just been reskinned, so if youre getting a stat mut and no obvious color mut, then the color mut was applied to a region in the animal that does not get 'used'. ALSO, if you breed twins with a mut, your baby will have the stats the parents have. It will never, ever, 'add' an extra mutation ontop of it. The only way this can happen is if you get a lucky mut roll, assuming the parents are not mutation capped. Yea your breeding knowledge is NOT as good as youre claiming it is. Too much incorrect information.

hey Tag :) i enjoy watching the things you do.. keep on ur good work :) big ups to all the wkd community and all the awesome games you do ^^

[@erickhart8046]

Very nice Tagback cant wait to try some breed whenever consol gets the release.

[@JoeCulv89]

Has anyone figured out what wildcard meant when they said "each dino has been given it's own multiplier"? Are you breeders seeing more points per mutation than in ASE?

[@TheRealGerman935]

yes it means that dinos like gigas and rex get less melee per mutation so that they dont get so op as begore or at least that it takes longer

[@JoeCulv89]

@@TheRealGerman935 so what you're telling me is I can now make boss killing roos lol

[@TheRealGerman935]

@@JoeCulv89 it depends there is maybe some dinos that never where breed that can be usefull now but i dont see ppl making boss dodos or things like that im console player so i cant even play right now we gonna have to wait for more info (but tbh i dont think meta will change when it comes to dinos)

I love ARK despite it's buggy laggy blue screen frustating at times you gotta admit it's such a clever concept and beautiful game the way eveerything works a great game a lot of time.. but it's fun.

[@BlueJollyRanchers]

is this the same for evolved also? i’m still confused on how to get the exact same stats

[@bubbafett9210]

9:46 So the mutation tracker doesnt always correctly tell you how many mutations you have and even though it might say 20/20 you could still get a mutation? Just wondering because I have a megalosaurus that says I have 18/20 but I only count 8 total mutations.

[@MermaidJen]

TY for this!

[@jamestucker1283]

[@joeveverka7126]

Is there an egg incubator to help? Saves time on waiting for eggs to hatch

[@LEONDAS-]

Nop , you gotta wait 2 years for that

[@TheMinosae]

Yes they actually did put out a fancy new egg incubator

[@joeveverka7126]

Glad to hear it

[@Pengu1nEl1teMa5ter3]

I thought when breeding you just get a chance to get the stat from either parents while it keeps the mutations...that's how it always worked in ASE. So if you were trying to get a mutated melee, with a non mutated melee and you got the non mutated it'd still keep the mutated points. That's just how it always worked. Then you'd kill the cull that one, because it was just going to stunt your line. I mean it's similar to how you try to breed the good stats from each dinosaur and that's why the level is going up or down depending on how much point value the dinosaur got. So if it had 30 points in all it's stats you'd combined those 30 points to get its level.

[@tiffanyvanlengen]

I just love this guy plus ark 2 is coming out soon :)

What single player rates should I use? Im really struggling to be able to mature thwm faster but also get 100% imprint 😢

[@szykospawn]

Hey Tag! Can we get a beginners tips and tricks video?

[@thomasheart1337]

im hearing alot about mutations but you dident actualy show us how to see / tell / find mutations. I still have no idea where to find them or see what has one. Also, this makes it seem alot simpeler than it is. It takes literal DAYS of work to fully mature a baby...

[@NBBDK777]

Increase baby mature speed to 5-7 and use awesome spyglass if your beginner every time you have mutation your dino will be 2 lvls higher

[@blkMafiaMan]

​@@NBBDK777 If he's playing on official, then that will not work. He is stuck with the official rates, which does take days to complete.

[@tristansuclin5528]

mariah carey had levels into her when you were doing stat calcs

[@L07dLuc1f3r]

so does it matter what the lvl is. and if you put upgrades into it. so if i tame a 120 and start lvl it as much as i can and then breed it with one similer will it be weaker than a 145 or 150 tame or can i just get a baby and lv that again the 60 lvl and then breed it again and lvl till it hits max lvl then breed the stats. and if i upgrade a parents health like 5k extra will the baby get them levels or is it just the base stats. im kinda confused if i should try breeding stuff that like lvl 110 120 or wait till i get 145 150

[@Killa_rumble50]

bro that blue is so pretty

[@ladyjinyxx]

Get the tek binoculars and look at the stats, color and level stats and pumped stats are different now. I'd like your opinion on that

[@Himbayo]

You can breed 0 0s back to your main pair if they have more stats matching.....

[@kylewalsh3347]

so if i’m right the 204s after this point are kinda useless? once you start getting the 206s and 208s?

[@Ibsmokin]

2 main differences. On ase you kept your female line clean and once you hit 20 mutations on pat side your chance of mut went down because only the female side could mutate. Now it seems you can clean your male side by taking a clean male and breeding it with a 20 mut female to transfer all mutations over with only a mutation counter of 1. Allowing you to affectively increase your chances of popping mutations once again. ( I could be wrong on this, just something i thought I noticed.) Main change is the fact that wild stats are tracked separately from mutated stats meaning you can start breeding immediately and transfer mutations over once you are able to find better wild stats. No need to spend countless hours searching and taming to find the best.

[@LosSantosUriels]

do you not lose anything for rebreeding with a dino in the same bloodline?

[@roberttate7967]

So im just now watching this but please save my life here, did the imprinting bonus disappear? I have an imprinted thyla, to me, and i raced my friend they are bred so i know what they should have at what percentage and they are doing the same damage too and i cant see the imprint buff in the top right? I know movement speed is no longer adjustable but I would have figured the buff as a whole would be there for the rider. Right now it seems it only effect stats?

[@Stephain]

This is a bit of a longshot here, but in the ini file the imprint bonus to the rider can be enabled or disabled. Maybe it got disabled in your game somehow. If you are on official I'm not sure what would have caused your problem, though.

[@GingerSnapping]

Honestly this is so simmilar to breeding rats IRL. Often a pairng will not produce the color on the rat you want so you have to shuffle around who is breed to who to figure out the best for the bloodline.

[@wtfimalone]

So I’m trying to breed my two raptors but every time they breed nothing happens just resets the breed timer any tips?

[@all_pro1237]

i do not know if its just me but the male i had for rex's in survival ascended had a melee mutation so im like perfect threw that kid in their the next gen of eggs did not have the mutation but the baby still said it had 1/20 mutations????? what is that mean im confused the base ark wasnt at least to me no where near this confusing/bad

[@ZEROCh_KJCh]

lol Intro with majestic tattoos on the body

[@Fredde9602]

so essentially breeding is the same as ASE?

[@wastedwatts]

So, if I have this figured out, upgrading breeding dinosaurs doesn't help improve the offspring. Might as well ignore the option to level up your breeders and leave them at their stats after hatching. Also, it takes a lot of breeding to see an improvement, or mutation in the offspring, which means a lot of eggs from the same parents. So, in short, not a few days of breeding, but more likely many weeks of attempts to get a better baby.

[@skullsgaming6996]

Can we get a guide on the cuddle imprint symbols please??? I know the walking one.. but sometimes it doesnt say what the dino wants.

[@erikalbaker]

You just look at the Dino and it tells you what it wants

[@majeedyooo6639]

why I can't see my baby dino imprint in his inventory? pls tell me

[@cameronsharp1113]

On ASE can you breed a mutation into a higher stat? Ex: Female has melee mutation and you tame a male that ends up with a higher melee than the original breeders can you breed the melee mutation onto the higher melee from the new male

[@ZombTDZ]

no, since the mutations effect the wild levels in ASE

[@cameronsharp1113]

Thanks for the reply

[@Ibsmokin]

This from what i’ve seen is the only real change in asa, it nows tracks muts separately so you can start breeding sooner you don’t need the best wild stats you can find to start. Just start.

[@davidschmidhamer]

I don't think you want high food and oxygen in a most dinos that would wasted points

[@inker.jrcalimari4704]

What abt minimizing stats that aren't needed like taming low levels with for ex 3 points in oxygen is that good to try to breed in or a waste of time

[@TheRealGerman935]

u need that in the later stages when ur dinos reach cap lvl. u can to it before but depending on your tribe it doesnt rwally matter

Honestly, I'm trying everything, but it seems difficult for me. Well you see I've tried to do this, you see. I have a rex that level 290 And date all the one levelled 286 And I try get an egg from them and all it gives me is a 226 I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or the From what I gathered All I know Is my .Mel Wax. Has high health while the female of mine has less health. I think I'm sorry. I probably look back on it tomorrow. But I do know the FEMA has strong attacks while the other has less. So I'm feeling like I'm doing something wrong. Honestly, and it's hurting my brain. Because whether I have to have Twins and like keep the same stats. Or something? And it gets confusing. I thought this was easy but it feels hard as freak. I don't know if I'm actually doing things wrong or right. It's just so hard like I need really good help. I'm trying everything to look at this, but. I'm just feeling all that March. I mean, let me know what I need to do I need some help

[@RikoLime]

Is ark ascended worth buying? Someone told me its just the same game with better graphics... But im also concerned if its the same game.. are the maps already there, or is it another "wait years for each big official map release". And also, did they make a proper multiplayer or is it still all server?!

[@ZombTDZ]

The DLC maps are not in yet, but will be a few months apart from eachother, not years. It is the same game but there are improvements other than the graphics, such as building, mutation changes, wild babies, and AI improvements. Also yes, multiplayer is still just servers or non-dedicated hosted sessions.

[@DreadnoughtAlphaOne]

ASA is way better but it is still unstable performance wise.I will never open ASE after playing ASA the changes are just too good.

[@HooseBrick]

I like ur videos but this isn't the best guide for breeding lad

[@alexp5604]

This isn’t 100% correct and you want low levels with high stats you don’t want to cap the Dino and not add your points into it

[@gayvinkambull6164]

Bro you do NOT want a higher level than the parents. You want to have tech binoculars and look for mutations in the stats you want, preferably in a male. So what if your baby Rex is a 345 versus the 445 that the parents were? As long as the stats you want to be high are the ones that are high. The level matters zero. A 100hp, 45 stam, 100 melee Rex at level 250 is EXTREMELY better than a Rex with 100hp, 45 stam, 100 melee at level 360
