Tip: If you're playing on the Island, start with the Broodmother (green obelisk). Why? - Requires only 3 artifacts - Artifact caves are the easiest IMO - You can beat her with megatherium pretty easily, which are easier to tame and breed than rexes (more spawn locations for high levels, easier K/O) - Beating her will unlock the Tek helmet, which supplies UNLIMITED oxygen (if fueled with element), which is SUPER useful for running the underwater caves needed for the other two "sub-" bosses.
For the artifact cave that you were running through at the end with all the lava jumps, i reccomend getting a terror bird because it can fly over the jumps with its glide ability
“Flexing for the obelisk makes the boss appear” XD Also thanks for making this, it’s very relevant for me since I’m starting preparations to do the Valguero boss fight
Have been playing for 5 years now and am very picky about ark videos but its seems you have a way of display info that I have yet seen and I cannot get enough. Please we need more pteri!!!!!
I honestly cannot play Ark without Arkwiki and Dododex. But even that is not always enough. The third key ingredient to have fun playing Ark: people like you! RUclips vids of knowledgeable, experienced players, like yourself, who show things, explain the reasoning behind them and inspire you to try it or to come up with something similar yourself.
Great video Pterafier! As part of your handbook, could you make an in-depth guide of Ragnarok and other map? Basically you would talk about the resources, dinos, and general tips and tricks for playing on each map. Also, a greenhouse/farming guide would be nice.
Recently came across the survival handbook and its a godsend for me lol. I love this game but I struggle a lot and all of your videos helped me play. Super helpful content and love how you take the time to explain things. Keep up the good work!
2 years late to the premier to this video but I do like the content. I didnt know a bunch of these caves locations and you made it easy to get there. I got a gps, i don't need much but a screenshot of the location to get there. thanks pterafier.
One tip I've learned on the island specifically is to take a raft with a well protected box and bed as close as possible by water too the targeted cave. Makes it close than base to get your artifact somewhere safe. And provides a closer by spawn point in the case of the inevitable
Tip: for scrooched earth, or any other one-huge-room caves you need only paraschutes, crossbow with grapples, and some ,,emergency" weapon(you dont need this one)
Things to bring before going to artifact runs 1. Grappling hooks (especially in the cave of the skylord) 2. The best swords and armour. On mobile I noticed that when your armour is mostly ascendant arthro spits don’t work that well to it. Unknown for PC though. 3. The Best Weaponry. Best to bring ascendants, at least every weapon you bring is ramshackle even(except for pump-actions, any quality of the shotty is good). My caving gear is hide or flak(considering I bring three other armour sets, the last being hide, the middle is good enough quality of chitin), a primitive pump-action(best for mid-range killing of snakes or bats), an ascendant longneck(just any good damage rifles, snipers also work well, the prime weakness of arthros), an ascendant sword(used for onycs and very close snakes) an ascendant wooden shield(cheap, light and effective to block arthro spit. Optional though) a pre-crafted campfire(just in case of ration shortage, mostly consisting of berries taken from the item bags the insects drop), some stimulants(especially if you bring tames that have incredibly low torpor drainage, like the frog i use a high level frog for all my spelunking needs) and three canteens of water. 4. Tames. The literal most important guy to bring. Ranging from arthros to the extremely underrated frog and bary, these are your other only hopes for survival. 5. The boss you plan to fight will affect which will artifacts you’ll need to summon them, along with some other various stuff from other animals to really summon them. Happy boss slaying and spelunking! Be safe everyone!
Thanks Ptera. Love your vids. I just thought if you’ll need some options for a spelunking video (though I’m a mobile player, a different species of Ark player), that might help, especially most artifacts are inside caves(on the island at least, the only map on mobile).
Enjoying the series a lot even as an experienced player! When you get to the late game guides, I humbly request that your guide on mutations be as in-depth and "made for dummies" as possible. I've seen several guides that are supposed to simple but get I lost midway through. I understand nearly every aspect of this game but still struggle to properly understand mutations and stacking them correctly. I kinda get it, but feel like I don't fully understand. Maybe it's just more RNG/luck based than I realize? I'm doing my first vanilla/official play through and have a feeling I'm going to need to finally learn these concepts. Thank you in advance!
My first time going into a cave and my raptor died. So this time I'm going to tame 10 dilos Wish me luck. Update, the dilos work very well but if your going to try this DO NOT GIVE THEM MORE THAN 2 LEVELS IN MOVEMENT SPEED.
Seeing that many onyc’s just gives me ptsd from me just “casually” Exploring caves and just getting mauled to the point of “You can just keep my stuff and I will leave you alone“
If fighting the dragon only use herbivores. Carnivores are extra damaged by the dragon. Aditionally look at what a boss will summon during the fight. The broodmother summons areanios so bring the giant sloth with you since if it kills a arenio it gets bug buff which makes it's damage god teir in my opinion
Hey Pterafier, Great vids!! Keep it up!!! I was wondering, do you have some server's we could play on. You said before that you were working on it so I was just wondering if they are up yet. No pressure, just curious.
You remember that elitist in your last vid that called me a newb for playing pve? You should do a video on how playing ark in general is beneficial and we shouldn’t be at each other’s throat
"Anything can happen in ARK" The truest statement ever made. Proof: Tried to beat the gamma broodmother. I spawned, she spawned, my dinos spawned, the the terrain didnt, causing everything to fall infinitely through the void. I never though somthing like that was possible, but with ARK, it is.
I have a trick that I just knew/learned that if you load the whole cave to let the ads spawn and deload it, the ads will fall into the void(excluding onycs) and you will have an easier run.
Hey pterafier can you tell me your stream settings? I have a really good pc and my ark stream is lagging when it really shouldn't be. I've tried googling and troubleshooting for awhile but its really not wanting to work for me : /
I'll end up making a video on that eventually, but for now here's a link that should help you. Just scroll down to the artifacts and click them and it'll give you cave locations ark.gamepedia.com/Valguero
Hello you have a new subscriber you can answer me some questions 1 days there is buff on the official xbox servers on weekend do not end up I play with my friends and we have not discovered why there are bonus thanks me syudarias answering.
You’re vids are good man, but I can’t bring myself to play it anymore. I stopped years ago. To much political drama and always getting meshed or off lined and caged just not worth slaving over anymore

I have died in that damn cave so many times, it's not even that hard, I just always seem to find a way to fall in the lava
I just bring a argie and fly through it
“Flexing for the obelisk makes the boss appear” XD
Also thanks for making this, it’s very relevant for me since I’m starting preparations to do the Valguero boss fight
Pro tip: If you do a flex emote in front of an obelisk the boss will take it as an insult and come out to get you. xD

its honestly stunning how well made your videos are made i thought you had almost a million subs
I was very confused about boses thank since i will need to beat them
Thank you for this vids. Looking forward to the rest of the series

Welcome back, my friend.
The pleasure is mine, thanks for watching!
My first time going into a cave and my raptor died. So this time I'm going to tame 10 dilos Wish me luck. Update, the dilos work very well but if your going to try this DO NOT GIVE THEM MORE THAN 2 LEVELS IN MOVEMENT SPEED.
These videos have helped me much more than any other tutorials.
This series is so helpful! Thanks, and keep 'em comin :)
This guy may have the best audio I have ever heard.
Seeing that many onyc’s just gives me ptsd from me just “casually” Exploring caves and just getting mauled to the point of “You can just keep my stuff and I will leave you alone“

Idk if im ready cuz im like level 90 and living on a beach with a level 40 trike
You remember that elitist in your last vid that called me a newb for playing pve? You should do a video on how playing ark in general is beneficial and we shouldn’t be at each other’s throat
Yes I freakin live for this series!
If you want a challenge for a stream or video try to knock out the bosses and tame them. Inclouding in broodmother
Hi ur the best c: keep up the great content!
No you're the best! Lol thanks mate, glad you enjoy :)
"Anything can happen in ARK"
The truest statement ever made.
Proof: Tried to beat the gamma broodmother. I spawned, she spawned, my dinos spawned, the the terrain didnt, causing everything to fall infinitely through the void. I never though somthing like that was possible, but with ARK, it is.
Bring tons of dinos. First mistake I made was only bringing an argentavis...
Finally, 600h in game later, I will actually do something about artifacts and try to beat the bosses.
I say this almost every video you make but these help me so much and if anyone has tips on the cave of the massive I would like it.
I played mobile and went to ps4 this does help alot thank you and keep posting🌝
Correction on 0:56, you dont beat the game the beat a boss and then acend to the next map and then the next so on
I have a trick that I just knew/learned that if you load the whole cave to let the ads spawn and deload it, the ads will fall into the void(excluding onycs) and you will have an easier run.
Hmmm. I wanna test that but if it works that's nuts. Which map did you find it on?
@@pterafier on ragnarok lava golem cave
Man I love your videos
Thank you! Glad you enjoy :)
@@pterafier keep making good work
Thanks I can never remember them it hurts when you don’t have everything to go back to do it again
Thanks for the tips
Will you be doing a video where you explain how to beat certain bosses?
Eventually!
What boss should I fight first for the island?
What stats am I looking for on threaziors/dps and support team?
Hey pterafier can you tell me your stream settings? I have a really good pc and my ark stream is lagging when it really shouldn't be. I've tried googling and troubleshooting for awhile but its really not wanting to work for me : /
If you hop into my discord id be happy to help you there :) should be in the description of all my videos
@@pterafier oh shit I'm sorry I didn't get a notification that you replied!! I'll absolutely join the discord thank you!
On the Ps4,can baryonyx definately jump?I'm preparing to do a lava cave but I'm not too sure about it.
Yes, they can jump
Ty for the tip keep it up 👆
How do I get it to show me what artifacts I need for the fight 😢
I accidentally got an artefact on crystal isles
i was just exploring some cave with my wyvern
how did i do that
Pro tip to caving. Turn on cave flyers
And for my first boss fight ever what tier do you think I should do
First ever? Start with beta. If its too hard try gamma.
Yeah haven't gotten to them I just wanna know what I should prepare as far as trophy's so
I’m a pro and have beaten tons of bosses and know how to do it but I still watched this video
Also when will you do your next stream
Tuesday!
@@pterafier are is it gonna be ark because I think last time it was rocket league
Best boss to start with is Center bosses in my opinion
Ah, yes, artifacts.... aka, my artsy ambience lights...
Also, also: I put my artifacts on pedestals, but then I couldn’t pick them up again.
Can u tell me where the artifacts are on valgereo
I'll end up making a video on that eventually, but for now here's a link that should help you. Just scroll down to the artifacts and click them and it'll give you cave locations ark.gamepedia.com/Valguero
@@pterafier thank u
Can we tame any bosses on island
Not that I'm aware of. Maybe through cheats though lol
It doesnt show what artifacts i need
I also use Dododex to find ark info, instead of arkwiki

You’re vids are good man, but I can’t bring myself to play it anymore. I stopped years ago. To much political drama and always getting meshed or off lined and caged just not worth slaving over anymore
