Pufferfish083 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I am starting to do cave runs, and want to take something different then a saber and wolf, was thinking a frog (one of my favourite) but out for ideas of other Dino's and if anyone knows if a frogs a good idea let me know thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana314159 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Tamed frogs? Or high stat frog bloodlines with good saddles? And I think bary are good cave dino. Once again, breed them for good bloodlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probanly the hardest cave. A high level tame frog is pretty strong . Should have no problem with any island cave except the hard ice cave . Can even do the underwater ones .

RageQuitter Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Barry's are probably my favourite dinos for cave runs, they're definitely the best for the swamp cave because of the arthros which can wreck your gear on a frog, not a problem in the other caves they spawn in though as you don't have to worry about the poison gas, megatheriums are beasts in the swamp cave but you need a cryopod to get them in and also past a couple of obstructions in there Dead island cave I like to use a thyla, just makes the run faster as you can climb back up without having to follow the path around the edge, also good in the south east cave but you need a cryopod to get it in and out, it's an easy cave with any small creature but thyla is faster for getting out, never tried a frog in there and the one doubt I'd have is jumping over to the artifact, frog's jump is fairly high and I just don't trust the lack of physics and the ceiling height, can see it going horribly wrong and landing in the lava ? might be something to test in creative though Central, upper & lower south should all be ok on a frog, only issue might be megalosaurus but I've only seen 1 in the lower south and 0 in the central cave over the last few months so they're pretty rare West water cave should be easy on a frog, sod the east one though ? (hate that place) skylord is easy on foot and wouldn't go anywhere near the ice cave on one edit: posted seconds after you said you were on the centre ?

Aylana314159 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I usually just go with breeding barys. Since they have 2 uses for me caves and first ocean dino. Thylas are also nice if they fit, not sure if the new cryopods changes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a good saddle they take very little damage. Keep a dimo on your shoulder and a decent shotgun or compound bow with you. If you see an arthro, plug it from a distance while still mounted. They aren't particularly great in many of the other caves unless your goal is to pump in a bit of movement speed and cruise through and kite dinos away from the cave drops to grab them. I wouldn't recommend them in most caves that have dinos that can dismount you. They're bad at protecting you, and if they're on neutral/attack-target they can be near impossible to get back on unless you whistle them to passive. As others have said, Barys are pretty good, as are a few others smaller dinos that hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
