as someone who’s played ark, but has never gotten far nor understands a lot of the game’s functions and mechanics, I love how educational this video was on top of being really entertaining. I didn’t know what half the creatures or items did before and now i kinda wanna pick the game back up. Great video!
This is the most entertaining 100 days I've ever watched!!! Meola acc has some enthusiasm in his voice while most 100 days people sound like zombies by the 20th day! Love this
I honestly can't believe that I watched this all the way through, the amount of work and effort that must have gone into it is just insane. Really great vid
whenever you are transporting prime meat always put it in your tame while traveling, it will greatly increase its time before spoiling. Doesn't matter which tame, even a herbivore, it will still help
This was the first gaming video over 1 hour lenght that I watched from start to finish. Insane video, so much fun! And those intro into caves and bosses were insane :O For someone that has played ARK only once, that was insanely helpful!
I'm just gonna say, I watched the whole 1:53h of this video and I have never even played any of ARK games. Time and effort that was spent in making of this video payed off Mr. Meola.
Dont play it... u'll sink thousands of hours into it... then realize tons of that time was dealing w bugs and crashes setting you back on progress... Can be fun if you got nothing else to do... but is the most frustrating game I've played... its good but the bugs like Dinos falling through the floor, getting disconected causing you to lose a Dino or die and lose items, crashes, constant huge massive updates to fix a small thing but not basically anything I'm mentioning. There was a spot in the map that if I went to it I'd constantly crash... when I came back to the spot w a different Dino I'd see my prev Dino dead or fighting.. if I got too close to the area again... crash... lose 2 dinos... go back to save them... crash, lose 3 dinos. I had to stop going there. Had to ask Tribe members to rescue my dinos as I couldnt do anything... just tons of little things that made me quit... That graphical glitch a lot of ppl get.... if you play for a few hours the graphics get worse and worse... u gotta restart or the Dinos look like moulding paste. Oh the hit boxes... u can sometimes shoot at a Dino at point blank range... right in the center of the head... and game: "you missed".... u reload... shoot at it right in the head... MISS! Yet I am good at Fortnite, can snipe people 200m that are moving and look tiny but in Ark I sometimes cant hit a huge Dino thats attacking me and 1m away from me... even though you see the dart hit and stick in the middle of their head, lol! Getting Dinos to follow you can be a nightmare sometimes... The graphics when u mine rocks is a joke, lol... feels like the rocks are made out of paper or something... they bounce off in the distance and stuff... I swapped Ark with learning to play an instrument... and just yesterday played in front of thousands of ppl... that is far more rewarding than Ark.
That was amazing. I watched it across three days because things are so busy with Christmas steamrolling towards us. Absolutely smashed it as far as entertainment goes, you exceeded my high expectations. Can't wait until you're back with a new series. My mornings won't be the same without you. Might have to go back and rewatch an old series in the meantime. Not sure which. I'm pretty sure I've watched every series through at least twice except for the last couple. Enjoy a well deserved break with your family, it must have been so much work to make this, and alongside a modded series no less. Merry Christmas to you and your family I hope you have a great one.
Mr. M... As someone who's faced an Agent 86 "Missed it by that much" end waaaaaaaay too many times BRAVO & I'll even give ya a standing ovation for determination & endurance.
@@milanbhattarai979 I mean if you look at the total health across all forms and the fact it is a multistage boss fight and he reached the final part in one shot of his 100 days... especially as it is Meola who is heavily prone to mistakes... it was actually super close. I could see your point if he had lost during only the second part of the fight but at least he got to the final part.
Insanity… this was so well done Meola, it was a very good attempt and something that I could not come close too lol, I watched every second of this, amazing video
Never thought I’d see the day that Meola would be doing a 100 days but boy am I hyped up for it keep up the good work Meola mate we support you all the way
I know this probably took a long time, but i would love to see more videos like this from you! I really enjoyed this 100 days, i found myself getting really captivated by your story telling, so please do more of this! Thank you
Never seen a full ark run. I played to many hours when it first came out, and I burnt out bad. I could never even bring myself to watch ark. Until this. I watched the whole thing start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Was a brilliant fight at the end too!!!
Meola this was an amazing video you did spectacular you call yourself a beach Bob yet look at what you accomplished here as a fan I applaud you your videos always brighten my day and to finally see you do the 100day hardcore vanilla is amazing
Typically when I watch a 100 days ark challenges most are the same rinse and repeat playthrough but yours had a lot more personality and hilarious moments, by far the most enjoyable I've seen👍
This is honestly an incredibly well made video. Absolutely awesome. I watched it in like 4 parts because of time but I kept wanting to come back and watch the next bit 😊
Jesus bro jumped from 50k to 1M+ to 10M+ months later this really is the video that made MrMeola Relevant again soo much people came back on Ark thanks mrmeola
Awesome video. Been playing Ark on single player for years and can’t even get the breeding right 😂😂😂 but you took on all the bosses and made the journey so fun to watch. You definitely deserve over one million subs for all the work you put into these videos.
@mrmeola i love all your vids and this was definitely no exception. I really enjoy how upbeat you are throughout the ups and downs of all your series. Keep up the amazing content and I really truly enjoy what we all have to look forward to
This was one of the best vid's of the 100 days to survive in ark I have every watched. first Vid on RUclips i think i have ever watched without skipping. I have been playing ark 4 years now and have just been able to start taming and killing bosses, My favorite boss is the manticore 😆 Thanks so much Meola and keep up the hard work. i watch every vidio, LOL 😘
Two things: 1. Great job on this. Not to be negative but this is outside your realm but you crushed it. 2. This will make you a better Ark player. Playing bare bones is soooo hard compared to moded series. Can’t wait to see future moded survivals after enduring this
Great vid, I loved it to the fullest. Everything was perfect due to the fact of the rates being balanced and the pace well and benefiting. Good levels and do you mind giving the settings of the world
That was amazing :D you made me and my little one so happy and can say it was the best 100 days we seen out of all we seen on youtube, Thank you so much and we hope you will forever continue to entertain us :)
So finally finished this video and gotta say, I don’t usually enjoy people playing ark. I feel it needs to be played to enjoy it but I throughly enjoyed this play through. It was extremely enjoyable, exciting, and just funny to watch. Great job. Makes me want to get back into Ark now SPOILERS: It’s a shame you got so close to the end. Legit just one more round to beat. That dragon is tough AF
Oh my lord when I saw the title I though meola is finally doing a 100 days and 100 days are probably my favourite types of ark videos and you are my favourite ark RUclipsr so seeing this is legendary you should do more
I've been meaning to try this game out. Your vid made the difference. (It being on sale just now didn't hurt either). This was really well done. Kudos to you.
The best video ive ever watch, i thought it was a movie, its the first time i was afraid of skipping any seconds of action. It was thrilling, funny, and most of all entertaining and the most fun way to learn the game. Thank you for this video. Hope you make videos like this in the future. 😍😍😍😍
I have never seen a full playthrough of the island, let alone a hardcore version! I wish the end timer had scaled to lengthen since you were playing solo. If you'd have been able to bring in all of your army to the final fight, you would have owned the dragon. Extremely entertaining, masterfully edited, had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time. Well done! As a first-time viewer, I can't wait to see what else is on your channel.
I am so proud of how well you did in this video you should be proud of your self I really enjoyed watching this I can't wait to see you next big adventure
This was by far the best video I’ve ever seen, in my opinion it’s too short. You earned not only a subscriber not only an individual who is excited for your videos but also my respect
Sorry if it's been asked before, but much like the other guys I'm thinking about picking this game back up after the educational aspects, and learning more about this game through this playthrough. What settings would you recommend for a single player experience?
I’ve never seen this game before, and have never seen your channel, and let me say, you’ve earned my like, my sub, and my ultimate respect!!!! You’re personality is amazing and I want to say thank you for this glorious content! I mean it from the bottom of my heart, this was excellent!!!
Love the video, hilarious and exhilarating in true ark fashion. But, with some of the close calls, I cant help but feel that you died at least once in this journey lol. The swamp/carno escapade with the raft just looked like too much to not have died at least once lol. Great vid though
i don't really tend to watch long gaming videos, but i really enjoyed this one, congrats on getting to the end, whether the overseer was defeated or not, it's still a win in my book.
Wow.. didnt know I would watch the whole video.. but it was very entertaining. It’s cool to see the culmination of experience on a game, that you could start from scratch and accomplish so much in 100 days.
as someone who’s played ark, but has never gotten far nor understands a lot of the game’s functions and mechanics, I love how educational this video was on top of being really entertaining.

Fr tho I put a few hours in this game and just felt overwhelmed so dropped it. Thanks to this guy and not being able sleep at 4am I might go boot up
@@loganchavez4773 same watched this video then got addictied to ark
@@loganchavez4773 I have hundreds of hours on this game but never made it far! Don’t get overwhelmed just have fun doing it ;)
@@perfectcell13 I'll definitely have to give it another go soon
Same, I have 47 hours in the game, and never really knew how to progress through the story and this video actually helped teach me that
Congrats for finally taking on the challenge Meola! Absolute legend!
Hope you enjoyed it my dude!

Syntac's one is also really good
So this is the first 100 days vid you’ve watched
WHOOOOO MEOLAAAA its been years since the last time his vid got reccomended to me XD

He finally did it let's go boys. Let's give him some hype and support for his hard work.

whenever you are transporting prime meat always put it in your tame while traveling, it will greatly increase its time before spoiling. Doesn't matter which tame, even a herbivore, it will still help
This was the first gaming video over 1 hour lenght that I watched from start to finish. Insane video, so much fun! And those intro into caves and bosses were insane :O For someone that has played ARK only once, that was insanely helpful!
Really i basically only watch 1 - 2 hour videos or vods everyday

I just got it and love it, I recommend it a bunch
@@spritewitha2 The best thing ever is when you tame your first dino. You should try it.

Real good attempt man. You got super close to beating it.
are u kidding final boss barely got scratched

these was the best it was jam packed with drama, action and kept me on the edge of my seat . i hope you make more cause this one was great
in the future, u could build a trap around the 60% effective sabertooth and let him wake up then re-knock him out to reset effectivness

That was super fun to watch. You have quickly become my favorite ark content creator keep up the great vids
i was so sad when you died in the end but still loved the video can't wait to watch more, btw you are soooooo good at this game at least I loved it
Watching meola without mod building traps thinking ahead never though this day would come well done meola...🤗🤗🤗😁
Typically when I watch a 100 days ark challenges most are the same rinse and repeat playthrough but yours had a lot more personality and hilarious moments, by far the most enjoyable I've seen👍
I have never played arc I have never watched arc gameplay and I clicked this video out of pure curiosity but this OMG this is an absolute masterpiece😮
Really enjoyed it. Nice to see Meola play basic Ark as well. Very well done!! Congratulations Mr.Meola 🎉😊
nice work man! such a hard challange and you smashed it, loved watching the video, hope to see more of the 100 day series!
This might sound stupid but I’ve re watched this maybe 20 times now and it’s like my comfort video, I really love it

Appreciate it! :)

Was he being sarcastic or actually loved it.

Jheez this must have taken ages to make, thank you for your dedication. Also looking forward to the new series when you do come back

"What could go wrong" on his moving base at the start was too much haha, i can not hold my laugh
Gotta make more of these dude. All that effort was well worth it. AWESOME content
Thanks for making this! It got me back to playing ark. Hope u make more of them.
thank you, this video was fun to watch and educational, now I know what is the next step I should make
Great video 🎉🎉🎉 Appreciate the hardwork. Keep it up very enjoyable.
I love the fact that you finally got the recognition you deserve, gl my man, you were the reason I got through quarantine sane
This is what made me start watching meola. I watched this to sleep
Congratulations meola you may be the master of bad decisions but I feel of most of the hundred day challenge I have seen you did it legit
That was amazing :D you made me and my little one so happy and can say it was the best 100 days we seen out of all we seen on youtube, Thank you so much and we hope you will forever continue to entertain us :)
continuing to watch this video loving it and doing good on my house too.
.
You truly kicked butt. No final win but to me you did by making it that far an a great job putting this together by the way. I'd watch these anytime
Let’s go! The man himself took on the challenge! 🙌🙌🙌
I've seen a ton of these, but this is the first where someone was trying to survive themselves and the ARK 🤣. GREAT video, thank you!.
So finally finished this video and gotta say, I don’t usually enjoy people playing ark. I feel it needs to be played to enjoy it but I throughly enjoyed this play through. It was extremely enjoyable, exciting, and just funny to watch. Great job. Makes me want to get back into Ark now
SPOILERS:
It’s a shame you got so close to the end. Legit just one more round to beat. That dragon is tough AF
I loved this video so much, His comintating was so entertaining, i watched this straight and would love to see hime do this on other DLC's!!!
amazing video! loved the watch even though I haven't played ark in years! :D
I'm not even close to play this game once, but this was a great journey. Keep it up buddy!
Thanks so much for the work you put in all your videos and i love your channel i,ve been watching now for 2 years.Keep up the good work Meola

This was by far the best video I’ve ever seen, in my opinion it’s too short. You earned not only a subscriber not only an individual who is excited for your videos but also my respect
“Meola makes terrible decisions for 1 hour and 54 minutes” is also an appropriate title for this video
Sorry if it's been asked before, but much like the other guys I'm thinking about picking this game back up after the educational aspects, and learning more about this game through this playthrough.
What settings would you recommend for a single player experience?
Helll yeah! You and syntac upload 100days video on the same day, why won't u two do a collab in a video or something
Agreed
Hell yea
Yeah it will cool
It would be so dope
There on different Timelines that's why they don't play
This video is fantastic. I miss ark so much.. i havnt played it since like 2017
I’ve never seen this game before, and have never seen your channel, and let me say, you’ve earned my like, my sub, and my ultimate respect!!!! You’re personality is amazing and I want to say thank you for this glorious content! I mean it from the bottom of my heart, this was excellent!!!
It was so weird seeing meola use a lot of brains actually using traps.
MEOLA cooked with this video 🔥
Holy crap Meola is doing 100 days so excited to see it I hope he has more in the future
they really need to add a "pick me up" whistle
Holy good idea
Love the video, hilarious and exhilarating in true ark fashion. But, with some of the close calls, I cant help but feel that you died at least once in this journey lol. The swamp/carno escapade with the raft just looked like too much to not have died at least once lol. Great vid though
If he did, he would've lost everything. That's how hardcore mode is. You die, you go back fo level 1 and lose your base and tames.
i don't really tend to watch long gaming videos, but i really enjoyed this one, congrats on getting to the end, whether the overseer was defeated or not, it's still a win in my book.
I highly enjoyed watching this and hope that you could possibly do more 100 days videos.keep up all the good work
I just started playing ark and I can tell u from my little bit of experience I can tell this took a loooooong time😂 fun and informative video tho
Yay he FINALLY did it good job! Also hope to see more one hundred days with u meola 💗!
