Top 10 Taming Methods in ARK (Community Voted)

[@zerocrimson8725]

To be fair about Dinopithecus taming, some monkeys do kill other families to become the Alpha of the pack, so what you do to tame them is what probably they'll do themselves to other packs

[@MrGuy42069]

I hope ASA has more creatures with unique taming methods, maybe even adding unique taming methods to dinosaurs already in the game so that we don't know exactly what to do on day 1, throw a little curve ball

[@felipeferraz9068]

Yeap. Mainly Gigas using Acro taming method. Rex been untameable while adulthood, with the need to search and feed a baby/adolecent Rex to tame 1.

[@mistermagister1693]

Cool idea

[@Deamia]

ASA is a officially a remaster, I doubt there's going to be much of a shake up in terms of changes to taming methods (apart from wild babies). They've however announced two extra DLC's after they remaster all the existing ones from ASE, and those might have some unique taming methods (plus the extra creatures they adding to existing maps through creature votes).

[@bigbangrafa8435]

I absolutelly HATE these methods. I wish there was a config that you could turn on and allow every dino to be tranq > feeed > tame, hate being forced into a glitchy minigame to acquire a new dino. Well, that''s why I love modding, being able to play the game in your own terms is priceless.

[@kingiver8]

The new oasusar(Sorry bad spelling) is very unique,it needs a dlc but it's taming is very new

[@HiMyNameIzJake]

You said the corpse feeding is a new mechanic but I would argue it's been around for a while with the otter and hesperornis... The concept of dragging the corpse is the same but it differs when you have to get on the carchar and Munch a bunch of creatures😊

[@ILikeArk]

Great video mate!

[@rl9217]

Top Ten Runners Up Since Ascended has brought so many creature votes and obviously a lot of fun suggestions for each final ten that didn’t make the cut it be interesting to see what runners up the community like the most. The list can only include creatures who’ve made it to a final voting round for any map that didn’t win.

[@brawlingbrother9083]

I feel like most Dino’s should have multiple ways to tame them but each type has a different efficiency. For example a parasaur could be ko’ed or passive but passive would be more efficient.

[@zachcook3907]

Honestly my favorite method of taming is egg stealing, just makes the tame all that more personal when you usually die in the process of getting it.

[@couchdoggo]

next you should do Top 10 Cutest Creatures in Ark i looked you've not done that yet and i thought it was a good idea personally i would have liked to see food throwing (the way you tame basilisks and titanboas but the ones that are here are still cool too!

[@ILikeArk]

I first started watching your channel a few years ago for your top ten content, so I'm glad to see you slowly bringing it back. Now all we gotta do is pray that the KZbin algorithm will spread these videos once more.

[@MrLinkinJason]

Impregnation is... Fun to say the least.... I hope it's as fun in real life as it is in Ark 😌

[@DjalilRex]

Finally! I missed top 10 videos SOO much ❤

[@OliverDolar-o8b]

Yes totally

[@RylanMobley]

It would be cool to do a top 10 herbivores!

[@GreenlightX4]

On a little holiday but always got time to check out a video from the one and only Raasclark. Great top 10!

[@alexciesielski1840]

I feel like the desmodus should also be in the same spot as the bloodstalker because they have the same taming method

[@survivalrush]

True, similarly Fjordhawk->Carcha

[@alexciesielski1840]

@@survivalrush but fijordhawk is passive and you don’t ride it

[@hitmanjenkins]

at 10:16 you said there are several other creatures that you need to steal their eggs in order to acquire one.....would you mind naming them. I got wyverns ,rock drakes, Deinonychus, magmasaurs, and technically you are "stealing" an egg from a rhyniognatha.....after that im lost unless youre counting the types of wyverns.

[@noname_400]

Finally caught it early again

[@briancole4667]

I've watch a lot of these, though maybe not all. But Always love the content. I'd like to see a top 10 video on things to do when not hunting down resources, artifacts, or new tames. When you wanna just have fun and adventure around. Kind of a single player aspect, exclusively, but these maps have so many nooks and crannies to explore!

[@Acedude227]

Really enjoy watching you videos while i work gives me something to think about during my mindless job lol

[@zrxr2]

Reapers Are definetly my fav, so simple yet intereresting. Nostalgic even due to the alien Movies

[@SparkyFerretBoy]

Great video Raas but something I noticed in the video was if ASA is going to fix the taming tracker. Because before Gen 2 the tracker allowed you to see the stats from afar while enabled. But ever since Gen 2 released it seems to not work anymore (this mechanic was useful for passive taming especially) Pretty sure this is console ONLY but I have yet to confirm if it is or not

[@Acedude227]

Yeah i think its a console only issue

[@SparkyFerretBoy]

@@Acedude227 that’s what I was presuming. Hopefully since ASA is cross platform it will work for all platforms this time around 🙃

[@n01z3]

6:15 i expected raas to break down, curl into a ball and quietly have incoherent mumbling when it came to this one

[@milanleysen7182]

Great video Raas ❤

[@p3wp3wCthulhu]

I love Carchar taming as it's one where there isn't a prerequisite thing you need to grind except having enough drag weight to carry the bodies, sometimes the requirements defeat the purpose of getting the tame. The Armaedron taming in Additional Creatures: Grand Hunt is also a unique and interesting mechanic but that's a mod.

[@ladyteruki]

Taming methods tier list time ! :P I'm a simple person, give me simple tames. Egg stealing is my favorite. I'm in favor of more of those, maybe with some new twists for variety's sake. Like, more stealth. Or maybe perform an action/mini-game before being able to retrieve the egg from the nest (unlocking something, or whatever). Or the nest is an enclosed space, like the big beaver dams. There could be ways to keep things fresh. I agree that raising the baby afterwards creates a bond. Plus the surprise of "what color is it gonna be" that you often have is fun :) Passively feeding peaceful tames (Ovis, Aberration shoulder pets, Moschops, Ichthyosaurus, etc.) is a good one, too. It's not too boring, you still have threats around to keep an eye on, but you come in with the right food, you give it, it's done. THERE. It's bad enough that on vanilla rates this can take so long. Roll Rats and Gachas are fine. Approach the thing, drop food, wait it out, do it all over again. Otter falls pretty much in the same category, get some fresh fish, go back and forth. Good stuff. Bloodsuckers and Desmodus are fine, too. Make me have something in my inventory, grab me, su-... aspire me, and we're done. If I feel fancy I bring a Moschops/Daeodon for better efficiency, but that's not a requirement. THAT's the stuff. As someone who tames Chalicotheriums like it's my day job, I'm also game for that (also works for Gigantopithecus). Walk up to from behind, don't anger it, give it one unit of food, step away, repeat. If angered, step away, survive and try again once it has calmed down. I'm fine with that, this is my jam. Equus, perfect. Pay attention to the timing, and you're done. Now that's what I'm talking about. The Andrew could be like that if I didn't feel it switches directions too briefly. I think a lot of passive tames would benefit from requiring more rare foods or something. Like cooking things other than kibble, finding rare resources, crafting an item maybe. The taming part would be simple but there would be a lot of steps before it. And. That's. It. ...EVERY tame that asks more of me is a chore :P On some days even Sinomas annoy me, good thing they're cute moederf*ckers. The Carchar... eh, depends ; on a good day maybe. If there's a lake nearby where I can kill fish we can talk, otherwise ugh. I tried taming a Carchar on Rag's highlands and I hated every single second of it, not enough creatures to kill. Stuff like the Shadowmane is so frustrating, I don't even tame them XD I almost tamed an Amargasaurus, once. I've done the Megachelon three times, tops. It's very simple : if you're gonna make it a chore, I'm gonna bypass it. I'm a PvE player, skipping an annoying tame and focusing on the ones I enjoy doesn't scare me. Come at me WildCard, I got nothing to lose :P I'm supposed to have fun in a videogame, that's where the line is. The minute it feels like homework, you lost me. PS : "small sauropod syndrome" XD

[@survivalrush]

Top ten Artifact caves, perhaps ? Like, the most enjoyable to run, from any included map. Top ten Monarky episodes (all seasons) Top ten Raas series (could be useful in deciding future adventures) Top ten Monarks, lol (all seasons)

Hearing raas use the word 'whilst' is funny as hell lol

[@spiralray8991]

I hope they replace the knock out tame method with more egg stealing methods. To me it makes more sense especially with babies running around. Maybe baby stealing could be a thing. Lol But great video man I always love the top 10s.

[@Franz.Staudegger]

Lol, the first 2 minutes showed how much of the game I still don’t know about! I didn’t know that hyaenodons were passive tames and that you could ride them, I mean they’re so small. Overall these vids are so much help to my progression of ark and I can’t wait for more dingle cup videos! 😊

[@KilynnTor]

When Amarg taming, I bring along an Owl to better heal it up. I also use guns with less spread and have a good melee weapon. I've also had a bit of luck taming 2 at a time. I've never had any luck with the trap taming for those.

[@drewredwine5719]

A top 10 video! Now this is a video worth eating to

[@tyleraccardo8473]

hahaha of course the reaper is #1. just started watching this channel. finally got to participate in this vote too. keep it up. im in. im subbed

[@Reeal15]

I love using the Immersive Taming mod as well. It's not as creative as the non-KO vanilla methods, but for a blanket approach to the majority of creatures that are KO-only tames in vanilla, I much prefer it's feeding mechanic. I like being able to take peaceful creatures...peacefully. And it makes more sense to earn the trust of carnivores instead of just tranq-ing them and then they magically decide to obey you.

[@Puangbro]

Like how tame panda gacha?

[@ROMULUS-xo5nt]

I hope ark adds more cool taming methods in ark 2.

[@absolutelycitron1580]

I would love to see a top ten fish, top ten Birds, top ten lepidosaurs and top ten dinosaurs. Like how you did a video for mammals but also for the other scientific taxonomic categories of animals

[@wgigachad3703]

He has a top ten bird and aquatic dinos ik not sure about the other two however.

[@xBloodxFangx]

I would like something similar to the immersive taming mod. Where petting, feeding by hand and even saving a dino from being attacked gains trust and tames them. Maybe not for everything though? Its a bit broken how you can have a full pack of allos at lvl 20 just cause you threw snacks at them.

[@ВикторГеоргиев-ы6о]

You’ve already done one of these but it would be cool to see an updated version of the top 10 creatures people want in ark, perhaps an ASA version. After all the #1 in the last video (Carchar) ended up coming to the game

[@glamourandgloom]

i think its a lil spicy, but thinking top ten bugs in ARK. we all love to hate them and hate to love em and hopefully they we can bid them farewell in ASA but things like from being stuck in reloading animation, shots not registering, passive tame feeding fiascos, falling through the mesh just to name a few, it could be a fun way to spread awareness of them and help others on how not to get too ARK'd by them.

[@TheWererapter92]

I think my fave taming method is the Carcharodontosaurus's feed n bond through killing everything

[@barypoke9255]

BROO THX SO MUCH BC I TRY TO FOUND LOGIC AND EASY VIDEO HOW TO TAME REAPER but i didnt found :( but now REEEALLY THXX

8:20 "because: once dealing enough damage to a rhinyo will find it to shoot its.... Seed?..." *bad to the bone*

[@hecbir6620]

[@brassfish13]

we need more taming methods in ASA like how ark additions tames are

[@Ligzenstauch]

To tame charcha I recommend unclaiming and killing baby rex one is enough for at least 120 charcha maybe even 150

[@Notretsam]

I agree with the list, but family farewell is a hell no for me. I would prefer to see devs add multiple ways to tame dinos in ASA, 1) knock out 2) gain trust by killing/defending 3) hand feeding. It would be nice to just mix things up and not have to use the same taming method all the time.

[@axethunder8682]

i thought that the rhyniognatha would be incuded as the same taming method as reaper

[@JerseyPirates]

I voted reaper all the way but I still love the boss fight tames like zombie wyverns, zomdodos, and Fenrirs the best.

A lot of those methods really make no sense. I understand egg stealing, that's how Conan Exiles does that too, with you stealing and raising the babies. I understand Reaper, Rhyneo and maybe Carchar methods as well. Horse taming is close to how it's actually done, but nobody feeds them during domestication riding. Meanwhile, Shadowmane, Hyena and Dinopithecus taming makes no sense. You feed Shadowmane while it can't see you... so while it appreciates the free fish, it wouldn't make a connection that it's this slow walking snack that just brought it. And knock-out taming is just... weird. I think there is a mod that completely changes the taming, Immersive Taming, I hope ASA does something similar. With stuff like partly tamed creatures becoming less aggressive towards you, it makes more sense. If it's almost at the stage of being your loyal pet, why is it just as aggressive as when you're a stranger?
