Mhm! The same with real life, prey animals do not DARE show weakness or else they’re picked off because that’s how it works. (Same goes for anything being hunted, even another predator.) So the same can be applied for any instance, meaning pixel dinos
@@DodoTacticsGaming Yeah, it's difficult to learn swing discipline as a stego. They take so much time to grow that many players panic when they get attacked. But learning it definitely helps when an attack happens, because if you can't be baited, the predators then have to be much more careful to try and kill you. Lol always love a good jumpscare honestly!
Ahahahahaha, my wife will hear the flatline sound after I die and will cheerily ask "did you fall off a cliff again?" (I fell off a lot of cliffs on spiro)
@@t.a.ackerman4098I saw this implemented in Legacy, the herds became immune to everyone but gigs/rex and then it was 50-50 odds. So with that experience in mind I’d ague against it
I was a juvi cera (40-50), but still big, so when two dilos came across me I immediately went to attack them, yelling to myself "I AM A BIG THREAT DIEDIEDIE DONT YOU EVEN THINK OF ME AS CAPABLE OF DYING IN 10 BITES" and they ran away :')
To be fair though once cerato gets to like 40% hes just above a full adult omni’s stats so you definitely had a chance fighting those two to begin with I’d say but playing agressive really does help.
Hearing the dilo screaming while you were saying “pounce its side!” reminded me of Doctor Pol or something where theyre trying to calm a cow or horse 🤣 not an easy task I would assume for sure.
On one of my first tries playing dibble, a cera snuck up on me and a friend. I was fine, friend was badly hurt, we found a nice corner to let them lay down in while I guarded them. Then another cera joined, and another, and another. Four Ceras. I kept them at bay and kept my friend alone while I was about 60-70 percent grown until a full grown dibble heard the commotion and helped us. The ceras decided to back off, because the full grown dibble killed one of their smaller ceras. I’ve discovered I am not only still learning the other dinosaurs, but I managed to get the hang of the new Dino so fast that I now need to focus on teaching myself how to fight as the other dinosaurs. If only there weren’t so many hackers on HT, I’d be able to learn better.
@@falconsfeather6970 dibble is quite a force to be reckoned with! And playing all of the different species is a good way to learn where they can be found and their travel habits
@@dinometta I agree! Sadly I can’t even get a deino past 50% on hordetest, first time two cannibals got me, second time an invis hacking deino got my friend and I decided to let them kill me so that me and my friend could restart together and so the deino would (hopefully) leave people alone for longer. However, I’ve learned a certain spot hackers like to play deino at, and where the hot spots for cannibals are. Cannibals like hiding under the waterfall that connects Water Access to the river, they get fed fresh spawn like a king being fed grapes 😂
@@falconsfeather6970 swamp is better for deino growth. Lots of water, decent enough fish, and plenty of places to hide between meals. Harder to maintain your overall diet probably, but definitely one of the better options if you're looking to grow
After the last video story, I had to see if there were any recent videos I hadn't seen from you and then I saw: "This is who I really am"... I had to watch. XD Hilarious. Being fairly new to The Isle or any Dino Survival Game (the big 3) The Isle being the first and only so far, I immediately connected with the Cerato and the Deino. I LATER found out that both were cannibals and could eat rotting flesh... what does that say about me?
@@fr0z3n10 I'm glad that you had fun watching this one! Cerato is one of my favorite playables currently, lots of fun stuff connected with them and a brawler to boot!

@@dtbrex08 oh yeah, hopefully over time more and more will learn to play defensively and not panic. They've got so much health, a couple of bites won't kill them. Better to take a few hits then catch them off guard with a swing than to run out of stamina swinging in panic and then have nothing to fight back

Mixers are soo bad dude, even by my mediocre solo player standards. Those two carnos could've just charged and facetanked you and win.. and yep 3:15 you mention as it as I type lol
@@gajspalt lol they absolutely could have. That fight in total lasted about 7 minutes with all the lulls where they stood back trying to decide what to do.
Eh, about the mixpacking carnos.. It sure did feel familiar for a reason, yes. xD Right after the engine update, correct? How to start.. Well, the big red carno was alive on that gods forsaken server since the very first iteration of HT build, it was mutant from nest even. Kept itself alive on small dibbles every time the population went like 10+/180. :D Having NAs down except the no AI server was the best opportunity to kill it in some fight, finally. So anyway, carno started blasting with no brain at all, had orange health, blood under 50%, no food and almost no stamina from the very beginning of the fight (facetanking dibbles do be like that). So no. It was simply NOT able to facetank anything anymore, lol. I had no clue who were the other guys, just happened to be there and they were friendly to me. My guess was that they were in VC or something and since the server had massive numbers after long time again, people were just hopping on with whatever they had there - they were eventually mixing with friends and such.. Anyway, the huge raptor pack took care of the rest. xD At last.
@@Bleghspread lol fair enough! Yeah my cerato had been alive on there since early in the horde test as well. I was still injured from an attack by two other ceratos the last time I'd played on the server. Ended up dying later to 5 carnos myself haha
Many stego players have never been in an actual fight. They've grown, but a lot of them either immediately mud camp on first attack, or they absolutely panic, as was the case there.
Idk how many times Im gonna comment lol you know me but I was thinking with the first fight because I struggle with panic lol, do you just act confident until you really have no chance, and *then* decide to bolt, like when the raptors appeared? Also what movement would you have done if you acted nervous vs confident like you did if that makes any sense?
@@dtbrex08 Act confident until you die or they do. In this case, I charged toward them, instead of running away, despite the odds very clearly being bad. When the sub cerato died, I "claimed" his body. They killed it, but it was *mine* and I wasn't going to allow them to push me off of it. Turning tail and running once I was alone would have let them know I was afraid, and that triggers the chase instinct. Better to stand your ground and dodge, weave, and attack as there are openings until you notice that they are more hesitant to move toward you when you back up. If you've done enough damage and dodged enough attacks while remaining on your feet, especially against such ridiculous odds, you are going to become intimidating. It's not really shown, but they started talking in chat more and more as the fight started to draw to a close. They became more hesitant to get within my bite range. Their hesitation gave me the confidence to try and flee. Because they had vomited, they needed food and water, were bleeding, and at that point they were likely deciding if it was really worth it to keep after me. The raptors just added extra pressure for me to leave, because a single pounce would have killed me.
@@dinomettaok ok great tips, thanks a lot for the big comment 🤣 that really hoped me understand the situation a lot more. Makes sense too, make them scared to where once you *are* too weak to fight, they are aswell, so you both risk dying if you continue. Thanks a lot for explaining lol that helped me out a lot and hopefully my future fights can show that aswell 🤣 hope you’re having fun while out of town, if there’s something you’re missing out on don’t mind replying to comments lol want your time out of town to be worth it.

@@dtbrex08 when the server is full, it's not hard at all. But I never really on AI except on deino, so no AI servers don't affect my ability to get by as long as there's other players to hunt
@@dinomettaah ok gotcha, can’t say I’d say the same though lol cerato is really easy as long as theres corpses but things like carno are definitely a little harder to keep fed/well diets-wise because of the shorter scent range and shorter fights.
@@dinomettaDANG NO THANKS So if I spit on an ant mound I win good to know Ive done it before but seriously if you saw my cerato vs raptor pack video or that same clip in my cera compilation (its the first fight) you’ll know I already have some hypsi ptsd from that…
Man I would love to play stego more if I knew I wouldn't be killed by another stegos (or diablos) at half growth every time. Fights with your own species are so annoying since they just need to be a little bigger than you to win. And canni herbis even more annoying. I don't remember last time I saw a decent full grown stego who is not canni or cheater
@@eskelhaito you should play on petits Pieds. Stego cannibalism is against the rules there! You'll find many more friendly stegos but also a pack of pretty good ceratos and packs of decent raptors to contend with
