the titanosaur isn't meant for soaking due to the 1 armour saddle. we only ever used them when we were wiping a whole server to destroy the structures as taming one is way quicker and cheaper than grinding out enough c4 to foundation wipe multiple bases. this of couse was back before artho's could eat structure and before mech's. they probably don't get used alot these days i would imagine.

I can see why the Megachelon is where it's at on this list: When the Microbe Swarm makes it to the turtle and the taming process begins, just ONE hit from any hostile source will cancel the whole process altogether, and you will have to do it all over again.

[@owa1985]

When I tried it, not only did the microbe swarms keep losing interest, they stopped aggroing onto me altogether at some point. I tried spawning 10 on top of a Mega and that did nothing (They just scattered to the four winds[waves?]). So in the end, I just dotamed it. And then I went back to using my Plesio for underwater mobile base functions simply because they didn't take 2 years to get going.

[@_DMNO_]

I spent about 6 hours straight taming a 150. Not because it naturally takes that long, but because it kept getting fucking hit over and over again. During one cycle I actually made it to 99% and then a shark bit it while I was in my inventory. It came out of nowhere, bypassed the other guy guarding as well, and reset us when it was seconds away from finally being over. One of my most depressing moments in the game honestly. Though, in the end we got the turtle, and it quickly became my favorite creature. I used it for the rest of Genesis 1, and I built an entire floating base designed to house the turtle.

[@brenon45]

With number 4# you must defend the turtle because it will attract aggressive and even neutral aquatic life to attack it and the swarm. The swarm has its own health so it can die from the attracted aquatic life which will stop to taming process. The taming process will automatically spawn sabertooth salmon every 5 seconds up to 5 meters away and will target the swarm directly. Meaning a long and annoying taming process. It is not recommended to put in a trap because the Sabertooth will spawn inside and still ruin the taming. It is recommended to start the taming process and unload the area immediately which will make the nearby aquatic life go in to a stasis while the tame safety tames itself.

[@thomasdevlin5825]

Surprised to see the giga didn't at least get an honorable mention, when you get down to it it isn't particularly hard, but it's no question one of the most difficult creatures in ark just to put to sleep. It's torpor drains so fast that if anything goes wrong it can be catastrophic, my first time taming one I brought 100 extra tranq arrows and like 26 left over tranq darts in case things went bad, I got attacked by argentavis twice and just the couple of seconds it took me to deal with them made it lose so much torpor I almost ran out of backup tranqs

[@andrejhofer2007]

I tamed my first giga relatively recently, around 2 months ago, on the slopes of Far's peak on the island. It was ez to knock out once it was in the trap due to my apprentice Longneck with shocking tranqs, but its torpidity drained super fast. Luckily I had base super close so I went back to grab all my biotoxin and a theri in a cryopod for narcoberries. Not to mention it's relatively expensive to trap compared to other creatures, metal gateways and a bear trap, and it does a lot of damage, the giga was a relatively low level but it got my argy to 1/3 hp. So yeah I'd definitely recommend it for at least an honorable mention

[@slenderman4788]

Also, in PVE, if it stops near other players' base, where you can't build trap, you will have to wait for even longer. Or good luck taming it in the air.

Best trap is a 2x2 with door frames The entrance to the trap is only one title high with ramps and the rest 3-4. Easy trike taming. I get a low lv that is not near a pack with a boomerang or slingshot. It’s soo cheap to make and effective on most dinos. I have gone from thorny dragons to rexes. Kind of glitchy with some dinos though. Allos somehow magically walk through the frames and same with theris. I managed to fix it somewhat with a higher entrance point being 2 titles high but still a few problems along the way. The craziest result has been that it gives the megatherium the ability to fly out of the trap and kill me. The only way to stop that was to stand millimeters from his range to attack me and shoot it in the face. Pve is worst in official than pvp. I have had more enjoyable playing in my rented private server. It’s not too modded and not too Grindy.

Bro shadowmane are so easy to catch once you understand how to catch them. Keep ten baskets in your hotbar and everytime you do catch one make sure you submerge yourself in water to reset the timer on the basket. Once you have like 20 just switch out the ones that are low into the hot bar and submerge again and then feed the shadowmane in the trap once you’re done. Super easy.

To me taming my first Moschops was harder than taming a Phoenix xD And if you are on Single Player and want to tame a Titanosaur, Uncheck Use SinglePlayer Settings and Allow Raid Dino Feeding options, if you don't then it will lose tons of torpor really quick! and be almost impossible to tame. Once it's tamed you can check back those settings and keep your Titanosaur forever. I actually wanted to make an advanced guide but I'm too lazy for that xD and just by unchecking those settings it becomes somewhat easy to tame. Btw you will need tons of bug repelant... Why? Well the stupid ants will make your Quetz's stamina go down wicked fast, and you don't want that.

Personally I’d have one of my top 3 be a rock drake. Taking the egg is one thing, escaping is another. Once you grab one all of them immediately run up on you at once, with Wyverns you can kite them and they’ll run circles around you trying to breathe on you. With rock drakes these mfs climb walls/rocks/cliffs while invisible at 70 mph and you can’t kite them cuz they’re melee only. They’re the absolute worst if you don’t have a flyer.

1:25 if you practice it can be your first tame, or you can build a trap that just makes it so easy you can do it wrong and still tame it

[@theflatpancake1713]

When you were talking about gigas and the "unless your mass breeding gigas you'll most likely opt out of that" MADE ME WANNA TAME A GIGA SOOO BAD

[@sneakzeetoo3208]

High level Fjordhawk, might be a worthy addition to this list too.

[@James_boom76]

Honestly, for me every tame is the hardest tame because i always underestamate my character.

[@msfaye5182]

I loved that simple “arrow to the knee” 😂😂❤️

[@ndegming]

bruh is the troodon even worth it though

[@AnomalousZoologist]

I laughed a little too hard when the *DUCK* appeared between the literal fighter jet dragon and flying volcano. I understand but it was still funny to me-

[@aculstingray]

I agree with the list itself but imo Manas are one of the easiest special creature to tame with a trap. Magmasaur eggs are also free estate with a grappler or Bloodstalker (which are pretty simple to tame on Gen 1). Keep it up✌🏻

[@ettubrute197]

Me and my oviraptor be snatching eggs like it’s hide and seek

[@hellgazer8370]

me, a noob who cannot find (and is to afraid to go into) any caves, blankly staring at the screen: so I need a few oil jars… a parasaur… and stone structures to tame a pheonix? interesting.

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

I'm honestly surprised that something like the Unicorn or the Basilisk wasn't on the list in some way. While the Unicorn can be tamed just like a normal Equuis, they are super rare to find, only having 1 spawn in the entire map at a time. I think I have maybe only ever glimpsed one in the wild once but it was in the Redwoods on the main Island map and I think it was quickly swarmed and killed off by raptors/terror birds. As for the Basilisk, not only are they extremely dangerous creatures that can attack up close or at range...they are passive tames if I recall and the only way you can tame them is by feeding them (fertilized?) Rock Drake Eggs. That being said...I am glad I don't plan on getting/playing Genesis 1 or 2 seeing at it looks like most of this list comes from there.

[@archerdavidson6066]

Wyvern eggs work as well just hover above on a desmo and drop it and it eats it. Its pretty easy for basilisk

[@t_triesArt]

Shoulder pet with a metal foundation will hold the sneks agro. Then drop eggs from your inventory while being safe above on a flier

[@gigga7334]

Congrats on 2m views on this! Really good video!

[@Raasclark]

Thank youu!!

[@thel3gendary289]

Fun fact: The titanosaur is the largest dinosaur in gaming history

[@Delq0]

it’s worth going on valguero and getting deinonychus eggs as 5 of them atleast level 80 can all kill the boss

[@lucaspiano76]

Honestly I think the ice Titan is easier then the forest, if your good with a mek it’s really easy to doge out of its way and then shoot the nodes, compared to the forest Titan who spawns trees that damage you and also with a more compact arena.

[@ekulerudamuru]

Nah, just have a very tanky tame and a very good saddle which is not hard to get on ext, best weapon is bow, go below it between the legs and fire away

[@MrRedRice935]

I don’t know why but these videos are actually getting nostalgic now and it’s only been a few years

[@Drk_MG]

Phoenix tip: if you ever find one and know where the ashes are. Basically he's there just blast it with a fire wyvern until is tamed, no need to wait for the heatwave. Thank me later. Update: it has been patched. Phoenix now has the purlovia buff. Now you have to wait for a heatwave.

[@Raasclark]

🤯

[@Drk_MG]

@juscbhbhuvsdsdvbhjwsdv3843 it has been patched. The do have the purlovia buff and now you have to wait for the heatwave legit.

[@speedKGDM]

Yea I was thinking of taming a phonix for silica pearls… definitely going to rethink that one

[@r3b3tx17]

0:16 what the heck is that?!?

[@ILegendGaming]

Damn, this came just in the right moment, only 6 more in game days and still a lot to tame, and the hardest are here for me to see!!

[@edi6722]

Wdym 6 more days?

[@ILegendGaming]

@@edi6722 the comment was 2 months ago, this isn’t from the dlc taming

[@salt7586]

Personally I think that magmasaurs and managarmrs are not that hard to tame. For the managarmr you dont even need a trap, you just get an ascendant crossbow w/ like 400% and chug health brew while it attacks you, and if you use a good wyvern going into a magmasaur cave is easy.

[@brenooliveira9064]

Agree, except the 400% part. A journeyman dropped from alpha raptors is enough. The hardest part is it not dying to wild mammoths.

[@geomium1571]

Magmasaur was extremely easy for me. All I did was fly in on a pteranodon, grab an egg and fly out… I’d argue that getting the pteranodon was harder than getting the magmasaur

[@Komatosik24]

Didn’t know the parasaur trick,Tysm!!!!

[@antiheartless45]

Top ten hardest to tames that are not worth the effort

[@nugsymalone1247]

Jeez... I just started playing and was all excited when I shot a spino several times with tranq darts and tamed it. I didn't know about all these other things

[@greenninjaihyt5461]

The bit about Pheonix holds up to this day. Raasclark tried to tame as many pheonix as he could in one day recently and it didn’t go well

[@scotteric8711]

Awesome sauce on the Phoenix tame.

[@EmptyBrewsky]

Giga: Am I a joke to you? Ark Community: " Now a days? Yeah pretty much..."

[@speed010]

Wow! This video hit 2M views, big congratulations!

[@Raasclark]

Thank you 🙂

[@xominety4091]

I used to play the hell out of this game. I love these vids man keep them up xx

[@sHEISATROLL]

Great video, What was the song at 9:25?

[@forfoxsake89]

The expression is 'ride it like Seabiscuit'. Which was the name of a horse. Hense the "saddle up" and "riding" references lol. Just so you know 😜 Love the video and totally agree! Void Wyrms are a bish to tame...

[@miguelalameda28]

Raasclark a good top ten could be the best looking creatures I would like to see what the ark community votes btw keep up the good work man

[@coahmain]

annnnd i feel like a total noob, i just got my first soloed quetz... i had no idea ark had mech suits and phoenixes @_@ thanks for the video! i hope to some day tame some of these!

[@Kermitaintnosnitch]

Wow nice vid rassclaut

[@fabienmiller3570]

Amazing not just that but the content its amazing and not bad at all

[@zerosumgaming4542]

Quick question: what is the music (song/artist) that you use for the Honorable Mentions? I know I've heard it somewhere (other than your vids) and can't place it...

[@level-upgavin4116]

I want to see a Top 10 Favorite ARK Survivors list!

[@nunuam5267]

Man your top tens are great!!!!!!!!!!

[@marcusayers2711]

In my opinion the hardest titan to tame is the desert titan. Infact i beat extinction without taming it And by beating extinction i mean beating the alpha king titan :p

[@Livianen]

thank you so much! this really helped!

[@MozzieMain]

I know I’m a bit later to this video but amazing vid I was really good keep up the great work ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SeraphImp_]

Raas: "This is the worst tame, I am sure of it" Amarga comes out:

[@Raasclark]

haha

[@GregoryDSelwah]

Great video!

[@dee6349]

2:32 for a second I thought he was saying the light let could do a lot of damage

[@Etanoisbetter]

What is the name of the song or music playing when you showed the dinos that dident make the top 10

[@red-k2048]

A Managarmr shouldn't even be in the "honorable mentions" imo. Since gen 2 and the net projectile it is a breeeeze to tame. Net it, to be safe put 4 dino gates on it (just behind the head, just before the body/forelegs, just before the hind legs and one over the tail). Actually only the 2 middle ones are necessary because of the weird mana hitbox but I use 4 to be sure. Then shoot just ABOVE where the mana is (again, hitbox issues) and you are golden! Loved the video though, agree with almost all of them! 👍

[@jameshinderliter9037]

I kinda figured Noglins would score higher. Then have a tendency to panic and take off and refuse to Aggro your creatures for some really dumb reasons, making at least perfect taming them annoying.

[@ettubrute197]

I accidentally tamed on on small tribes bc I was just taming high level Astro’s and it tamed by itself they come back after they run away

[@jameshinderliter9037]

@@ettubrute197 usually. Sometimes they refuse to Aggro to the next creature you throw out for taming. I’ve also had them stop at 100% taming but not tame out, even though I did everything right, forcing me to throw out another creature and dropping its taming effectiveness by like 30%. I ended up taming about 30 of them, perfecting the method the best I could, and only ended up with like 4 or 5 perfect tames out of that number.
