Isn't that max level for difficulty five? Woow. The luck .

That's actually a really nice idea. I like that. Hm.

Same! I mean, it's really the best one can do with something like this. But with gameplay (hopefully) coming out this week or next week, we might soon be able to gauge how it's going to be.

I really, really want an excellent ocean environment for ARK 2. For me, the beach/ocean is one of my favorite places in today's earth, and I'd love to see it's majesty fairly represented in a game I'm going to play. Not saying ARK 1's oceans aren't majestic, just saying that they're not up to scratch in a game I love.

I got so excited when I saw that thing...

Divoraptor! You should have kept him and named him divoraptor...

Oh no...clearly that poor raptor was unhappy with it's life. You've saved someone from a suicide! Good on ya! Y'know...maybe that was why he had such a high oxygen stat...he wanted to become a diveraptor.

Huh. Weeird. Okay then .

Yep. I find waking up incredibly difficult. I spend a solid 30 minutes struggling to get out of bed in the morning .

Still super excited though. Finally! After over a year (I think). I'm so excited !

Oof. Sorry man, that sucks. Well, in that case, may I suggest an alternative? Maybe try leading some creatures to it, have them ready, net them, and then eat them with the carchar. It really depends on how determined you really are to get it. Honestly, I'd go for it, but it's up to you. I'm just really spewing ideas here-not really sure how else you'd do it on PvE. Good luck taming, and happy ARKing!

Ah. Sorry mate! Can you not unclaim it and them murderize them, or does it not work that way?

Yeap! ARK 2 gameplay next week! (because doggos make everything better).

Also, here's what you do-use babies for the friend thing, and then just use adults levelled into health and heavily wounded so the carchar can easily kill them in one or two hits. Also, be warned-if they take damage, taming effectiveness takes a hit.

Rexes and spinos work just as well-just remember to use adults levelled into health if you want max taming effectiveness. There's lots of prep that goes into taming carchars :).

Yeap! That's what I meant. Sorry if my wording was a little confusing.

To clarify on mutagen: You use it to buff your creatures. This helps with breeding, but only on the clean, unbred parents, which sort of limits it's use. You can also, of course, use it on the final creatures, but that will likely get very expensive, since you require lots of mutagen to buff anything, and mutagen is decidedly not easy to come by.

Okay then-time to flex my writing muscles, since I can't find my guide on mutations I did a while ago, so here we go-get ready for an essay (actually, never mind, I found it): Mutagen (just to sort of add on) is a very, very difficult to get substance, just because it's so rare. In genesis 2, I'm pretty sure you can get mutagel in the space biome when the drops are white (or orange, not sure). You have to craft mutagel into mutagen with 100 or 1000 mutagel. You can then use mutagen to boost your creatures with some amount (depending on both the creature and the level I think). What this does is add 5 stat points into each stat (not sure which ones-check the wiki for that). It also gives the creature 30 levels, but that is null and void for mutations/breeding. Those 5 stat points only really make a difference on the clean original parents, because if you use it on a bred creature, the 5 stat points will not pass down to it's offspring. Clean unbred parents will pass those stats down to their offspring. Mutation Stacking Mutation stacking is very simple. Basically just get a bunch of good wild stats-depending on what creature you're mutating, you'll want to look for ~40-50 points (talking about difficulty 5.0-6.0). By the way, for flyers, look for ~50 points-they don't get points into movement speed, so all the other points will be higher. I'll use gigas as an example here. So the only stats that really matter with gigas are health and melee (mainly melee-gigas don't get much health from points into health). You'll want the highest melee stat you can find-with gigas, because they're such amazing fighters, you want to look for 50 points into melee, and 40+ points into health. No other stats matter. Now, get those two stats into at least one perfect female and one perfect male. Also, while taming, look for the highest levels you can find (of course). Also try to find a balance of males and females, since you'll want to breed them. Now, using those two perfect gigas to create a bunch more-create some form of multi-female and single male breeding setup (lucky guy). At this point, just breed and breed and breed (keep the extras-you'll probably want to use those to level your gigas). Now, as you're breeding, look for two level increases. For example, let's say the perfect gigas are level 450 (as an example). Your mutated baby gigas should be lvl 452. That indicates a mutation. Now check the stats. If melee or health is increased, then keep the baby. Also, you'll want multiple different setups for each of your mutations. For example, if you want melee and health, then make one separate stack for melee, and one for health. Now just do that over and over again.Preferably get mutations on male gigas-females do not really matter in terms of mutations. Keep swapping out the single male with a mutated one.Also-about the paternal/maternal thing. You can use either side-it doesn't matter. But, 20 mutations is sort of the soft limit on each side. Once you hit 20, it become considerably harder to get mutations on that side. Tip: Throw out your babies into their breeding positions as they're babies-they'll grow into each other, and save lots of space (and look really weird as they do it). Levels: So, let's talk about the level cap/point cap. There is a cap on points. Once you pass that point, that stat resets. So let's say you've got a super powerful, 100k health mosa. It's at max, and you mutate one more time. And then, disaster strikes-it's health resets to 3600 (base health). That is max stat. I'm pretty sure you can level over that, but you cannot mutate over it. And that's it! Tell me if I missed anything, but I think that's my full thing on mutations and breeding! Good luck breeding, and happy ARKing!

Huh. I thought it worked like if you get 20/20, mutations get progressively more difficult, but not impossible. I'm pretty sure it's why Syntac never goes above 20 mutations on one stat.

Yeap! Carchars get insane. A level 108, NOT perfect tamed, did 200 damage at first. Max blood rage, that jumped to nearly 900. Crazy (by the way, I actually haven't been able to get on for a while, because show crewing and all, so this is actually Syntac's testing-again, go check him out). Plus, they are fast. It's absolutely terrifying to see that charging at you with the speed of a freaking raptor.

Excellent names for such powerful creatures.. Sorry about the previous post-I did not know you had already done that! By the way, check out Raasclark's video on perfect taming a Carchar. If not, I'll explain succinctly-tame high level diplos, and get lots of mutations and levels into health (my suggestion is just get a high level tamed and levelled, unless you want to go for carchar mutations-then go for mutations into health on the diplos). That seems to be what matters. You'll need ~14 to tame a 150 when it's in friend mode, and ~4 babies or so I think to get it into friend mode (tested on official rates, I'm pretty sure). Should come out perfect tamed unless something else screws it up. Good luck taming, and happy ARKing!

What you've gotta do is kill everything that you don't want there, leave render, and come back (also, just a tip-Carchars have the capability to be the strongest creatures in ARK. Just putting that out there :). I personally am a big fan. They're fast, powerful, look amazing...what's not to like?

Okay then. Honestly, the only time I've really been #ARKed is when ARK crashed a couple times (not in a row). I do play on console though, so...

#ARKed

Now that's my kind of map. But then I play on console.
