This was very helpful! to anyone interested in higher or lower max lvls, each 1 point of difficulty is +30 max lvl. so OverrideOfficialDifficulty 5 is max 150 and OOD 6 is max 180.

Thanks MWB Gaming, 😀 That will only work on console. On PC that doesn't work. When you use the difficulty, it will only go to 1 on PC. There is some glitch that Wildcard has still not fixed.
@@TapczanZaglady If you are on The Island, they will got to 150 but it's not as common. I though this was well when I did this on the Island but they will spawn to 150, but not always. If you are frustrated with it, bump the number to 6 instead of 5. I put it at 10 one time and that was too much for me. Level 300 dinos everywhere
Arktic, I'm doing some looking for you but so far, I can't find how and I'm not sure if it's possible. The best you can do, that I know, is to move the Difficulty setting to 1.
I found out the problem, what I learned is that if you create the world at the max difficulty rather than the default it will actually spawn the higher level Dino’s at around 135-150
i thought that my lvl 76 spino could take on a lvl 3 giga (i was wrong obviously) to say that i felt defeated would be an understatement and now i have to lvl a new spino from scratch since they are a relatively rare creature i took the first one i found and it was a lvl 1 but i learned my lesson now
@@Kaazoo71Games the spino was like lvl 46 when i found it in the wild as well , but thankfuly they are VERY easy to tame , and most dinos are also very low lvl for me , should tweak the settings in the meantime
Im playing on the island and set the difficulty to 6, but I still only find dinos up to lvl 60. I once found a lvl 120 and before I could tame it a giga came and ate it...
the space doetie, on PC? Changing this on the Island will give you some high levels, but you will find many around 60-100. No way of making a bunch of High levels appear unless you set it to 10
I followed all the steps, and I set the difficulty setting to 5.0 in the game and every time I enter the game, I don't find high levels and when I leave the game I see that the setting is returned to 1.0, I don't know what it is I did wrong. I have looked with my pteranodon with a spyglass at more than 30 argentavis... none of them exceeded level 100
@BravoSYB, you will always find low lovel ones. Especially on the island. Are you seeing some 150s? You can always up the 5 to 6 or 7 or 8 or 10. 10 Would be level 300 dinos.
I did everything that he told me then most of the creatures where lv40_115 which is good for survival runs so this really help me out with my low lv dino and bosses destroyed my dinos but now I actually have a chance thank you so much all support to him😊

Razor_Blade D, if you are using Steam, here is how. In the Library where you have your list of installed games, RIGHT click on Ark. Go to Properties. Then Local Files. Then you will see a Browse Button. Click that. This is where your Ark folder is.
I feel like dinos on the island are trash because the map is like an introduction to the game, while the custom maps have higher levels because theyre probably for more experienced players
Hello, do you think it makes a difference that on which drive I have my program files in? I currently have them in my "D" drive instead of C. I'm having trouble getting this to work so I was wondering that might be what's making it not work.
I'm on Ark windows 10 edition and I've tried the command for the overrideofficialdifficulty and it still doesn't do anything. Dinos still only spawn till 120. I have also tried changing it from the ini files but that also doesn't seem to work. I do a dino wipe after the command but still nothing changes. Can anyone help me?
CaptainCosmic7 - How are you verifying that the highest is 120? If you are looking around to check, you can easily miss the 150. This raising the level will only make a few 150s. If you want to boost it more, change the 5 to 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. That will really increase it. 10 will raise the max to 300. If you have a way of checking to verify that the highest is 120, please let me know. Thanks.
@@Kaazoo71Games I know that the highest is 120 as the dinos are spawning in the levels of multiples of 4. Anyway I retraced my steps and that seemed to fix it. Great video
Sir thanks for the video, it help us new player a lot. 1 thing tho, do we have to always change the diff offset everytime in host>general page or it automatically change it? cause mine still says its 1.000 eventho all dinos are already at my override, thanks in advance again cheers!!
i have to play on xbox game bar because i cant run ark on steam its to laggy. so i went to my files and i cant find the folder for ark. do you know anything?
Hey can you tell me how to make the dinos on the server are all multiples of 5? I have levels like 67 and 116 but your server dinos are like 5,115, etc..
@peterjeong6182, sorry there is no way to make all the dinos a certain level. You can only increase. I know if you increase it to 10 instead of 5, then you will see the max 300 and find a bunch of over 100 normal ones.
You can. Follow this video with the 5 override, then if you go to the settings you have in the actual game, set your difficulty to 1. Then wipe and they should be in increments of 5. I don't know if this will work for you, but it worked for me.
Just curious as I'm new to single player, does this affect boss levels as well? And If so are they overleveled or is it balanced to the 150 max wild dinos?
Ellery Willis, yes it will affect the bosses. They are balanced to the 150. If you want to make it easier, change it to raise the levels to tame and play and when you want to fight a boss, change it back. Then after the boss fight, raise the level again.
Kaazoo this tutorial work perfectly but, did you know how to make dino spawn with minimum level, like all dino spawn gonna with minimum level 50. cause sometime dino spawn with just level 7. thanks
@thewithoutcrown9186, sorry I do not know how to do that. You can however, bump the level up in general by making the 5 like a 10. Each level boost the max 30 levels. That would make more high ones. Just remember when doing a boss fight, you may want to go back down prior to entering the arena.
hi i have a question if i set difficulty level to 3.0 there will be lower level dinos than dinos on 5.0 but did they still can be on lvl 150? sorry about my english if i made any mistakes btw thanks for this tutorial it really help : )
Yo the copy and paste thing is wrong you forgot the "I" in "official" also to tell if it worked just look at wild dino levels and if its in the multiples of 5's it worked (Thanks you got me a lvl 150 sarco to spawn)
@@Kaazoo71Games found out for me atlest its all the story maps so i had to go in to the files and add a officaloverride code in to get the story maps to spawn in intervules of 5 instead of 2
@riseofnationsfan, hi. If you are referring to Ark Survival Evolved, the max is 300 with the slider, I believe. I'm not sure yet on ASA. Since normal is 150 and each slide is 30 levels, 5 makes it 300. If you do the method in my video, you can literally go as high as you want. Each is 30. So, Max 10 would be 600.
I play on steam and when i get to the game files and after the part of server settings i dont have any option saying server dificult or something like that
Does it work on console because I thought I was doing something wrong lm at level 90 and the best i can tame are level 20 anything but the alphas levels are ridiculous. Either way thanks
Phylicia Levy, unfortunately this does not work on console, The only option iis to raise the difficulty slider. I've been told by some, that the slider does work on console.
my game user settings file doesnt have a difficulty offset setting and when i did the code and checked the file again the new code disappeared even though i saved it
orangethingy, change the difficulty in the Advanced Tab. Then load the game. Get out of the game and make sure it's still where you set it. Then you should be able to do this.
So far it seems to be working for me and yet i still sometimes see lvl 2-12 dinos? Is there a way to get rid of them, like make sure the lowest lvl a dino can spawn at is lvl 50 or something? :o
@oxfordandony2136, yes. Each one is 30 levels. So, 5 is max 150, 4 is max 120, 3 is max 90, 2 is max 60, and 1(the normal one) is max 30 (and you will see like a max of 36).
Spartan playz, sorry, this only works on PC. I've heard from other console players that moving the difficulty up all the way on console will work. I have not tested it.
Todoroki, unfortunately I can't for sure. If you can locate the folder on your computer with Ark in it, they should have the same gameusersettings.ini Sorry I can't help for sure. I don't use Epic Games.
Hello, I need help with the Island. Did anything like in the vid and it still won`t work. I know this map is kinda glitchy, but are there any solutions?
@michi8832, I did this video on the island on Single Player. What part of it did not work? Did you get any dinos above 36? Did you not see a bunch of 150s or any? Let me know so I can try to help.
@@Kaazoo71Games Good day, OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5 did not work. I don`t know why. Then I put it on 6 and changed the difficulty before playing to 10. After that it worked. Now there are many high levels up to 180 like it should be. I think the map is just glitchy. On the other maps it worked.
@@Kaazoo71Games IT DID< i didnt come back to kiss you cuz i was too excited. seeing a lvl 90 rex tops after playing for about 4 days was killing me. ty for the vid
in my files there are no server setting just session settings and when i put this under that tab it doesnt do anything even after a dino wipe. Any advice?
@@Kaazoo71Games ye sorry phrased poorly. Just the section of your file where it says server settings is not there for me. I did get to the proper ini file
@@floppybeef77 Ok, so change the difficulty level to 1 in your General Tab, when you do to Host/Local, Get on a map, then back off. Then go look. If you haven't changed any settings, that may be why you are not seeing it.
I tried evrything to make high Level Dinos Its Always max 120 IS IT a Feature With Mods??? I have ARK additional structures plus awesome spyglass and Dino storage
@user-hu7jg6rv5p, in this video I make it 5. Bump that number up to 6, 7, or higher. Each one will bump the dinos by 30 levels. But to answer your question, it's the Island. If you put it at 5, you will have a few 150s but not that many. That is the Island for you.
just wild ones will be affected but if you tame a high level wild dino after you override the diffuculty it will gain more levels from taming than a low level.
no ones real, I thought that was well for a while until I found a 150. Bump it up a bit. 5 is not the limit. Got to 6 and see what that does for you. I bumped mine to 10 and it put so many dinos over 300 that I was like, NO I'm good. Back to 5 it went. LOL
@@Kaazoo71Games it didn't work for me on the island map, only on fjor and I did a couple of dinowipes , it might be another setting that I need to change . Did you check the max diffeculty setting(set max dino level to 150 on all maps) ?
@@Kaazoo71Games I wish wildcard will make their setting in ark2 more "user friendly" and less buggy , not everyone wants to dig down to find the hidden settings on the buried folder and then add a line of text to a file . Just add slider on advenced settings to set the min and max dino levels , that it
Its not working for me, I did the override command and everything and the max level is still 120, maybe its because im playing scorched? Edit: my dumba** spelled the code wrong, its fixed now
@@Kaazoo71Games Great news! Have you played Gen 2? I really did not care for Gen 1 so I declined to play it. I don't like the arcade style it went for. IMO not a survival game any longer. The Island is still one of the best maps if you get tames off the other maps. That is why I asked.
@@Kaazoo71Games Agreed! Thanks for the reply. I am enjoying Gen 2 starting out with non-fueled full Tech suit is sweet! I like that all but 1 thing in the Tek tree is unlocked by level. Only thing I am having issue with is they tied the challenges to completing the map. They are not as goofey as Gen 1 challenges but still. :)

If you want to boost it more, change the 5 to 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. That will really increase it. 10 will raise the max to 300. If you have a way of checking to verify that the highest is 120, please let me know. Thanks.
@@Kaazoo71Games I know that the highest is 120 as the dinos are spawning in the levels of multiples of 4. Anyway I retraced my steps and that seemed to fix it. Great video
@CaptainCosmic7 where did you find the file to edit the settings
Sir thanks for the video, it help us new player a lot. 1 thing tho, do we have to always change the diff offset everytime in host>general page or it automatically change it? cause mine still says its 1.000 eventho all dinos are already at my override, thanks in advance again cheers!!
Febian Richfan, No, once you do the override, it stays unless you change it
@@Kaazoo71Games Allright, once again thank you very much sir!!
i have to play on xbox game bar because i cant run ark on steam its to laggy. so i went to my files and i cant find the folder for ark. do you know anything?
@SkittleGT, the only option on console (Xbox) is to raise the difficulty slider as high as you can. It's in the Advanced Tab on the load screen.
Hey can you tell me how to make the dinos on the server are all multiples of 5? I have levels like 67 and 116 but your server dinos are like 5,115, etc..
@peterjeong6182, sorry there is no way to make all the dinos a certain level. You can only increase. I know if you increase it to 10 instead of 5, then you will see the max 300 and find a bunch of over 100 normal ones.
You can. Follow this video with the 5 override, then if you go to the settings you have in the actual game, set your difficulty to 1. Then wipe and they should be in increments of 5. I don't know if this will work for you, but it worked for me.
thanks for the help 👍
No problem 👍
Just curious as I'm new to single player, does this affect boss levels as well? And If so are they overleveled or is it balanced to the 150 max wild dinos?
Ellery Willis, yes it will affect the bosses. They are balanced to the 150. If you want to make it easier, change it to raise the levels to tame and play and when you want to fight a boss, change it back. Then after the boss fight, raise the level again.
Kaazoo this tutorial work perfectly but, did you know how to make dino spawn with minimum level, like all dino spawn gonna with minimum level 50. cause sometime dino spawn with just level 7. thanks
@thewithoutcrown9186, sorry I do not know how to do that. You can however, bump the level up in general by making the 5 like a 10. Each level boost the max 30 levels. That would make more high ones. Just remember when doing a boss fight, you may want to go back down prior to entering the arena.
hi i have a question if i set difficulty level to 3.0 there will be lower level dinos than dinos on 5.0 but did they still can be on lvl 150? sorry about my english if i made any mistakes btw thanks for this tutorial it really help : )
@etilion5290, no worries. 5 is the level you need to have 150 dinos. If you do 3 the max would be 90. Each number increases by 30 levels.
Yo the copy and paste thing is wrong you forgot the "I" in "official" also to tell if it worked just look at wild dino levels and if its in the multiples of 5's it worked (Thanks you got me a lvl 150 sarco to spawn)
Thanks NewName, 😀 I fixed the copy paste.
I’ve only had the problem on pc like this and only on the story maps too
Yep, it's a PC thing and usually just the Island.
@@Kaazoo71Games found out for me atlest its all the story maps so i had to go in to the files and add a officaloverride code in to get the story maps to spawn in intervules of 5 instead of 2
Do you check the box for Maximum Difficulty in the General settings?
I don't but that may be something they added to max it to 5.0
hey man does the 450 max level still affect the dinos or it will be higher than 450 since you increased the difficulty??
@riseofnationsfan, hi. If you are referring to Ark Survival Evolved, the max is 300 with the slider, I believe. I'm not sure yet on ASA. Since normal is 150 and each slide is 30 levels, 5 makes it 300. If you do the method in my video, you can literally go as high as you want. Each is 30. So, Max 10 would be 600.
@@Kaazoo71Gamesthanks for the reply. What's the max level cap for 240 wild dinos. Thanks.
My difficulty level is 8.. @@Kaazoo71Games
Thank you soo much you save me
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching
thank you !! 🙏🙏🙏
You're most welcome!
if i dont have the difficulty setting thing in there at all will it matter if i just add the OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 line in anyway?
Alpha Reaper King, the OverRideDifficulty will offset the other ones. So, you don't need the other one.
I play on steam and when i get to the game files and after the part of server settings i dont have any option saying server dificult or something like that
Leandrinho you sometimes will not have that line. Just paste the OverrideOffcialDifficulty=5.0 in the Server Settings
Hey what mod are you using fo the amazing dino colors?
No mod. I just have an active event on.
@wojtas7370, Here is a video I did on events
ruclips.net/video/l74CiPeOApw/видео.html&ab_channel=Kaazoo71Games
Does it work on console because I thought I was doing something wrong lm at level 90 and the best i can tame are level 20 anything but the alphas levels are ridiculous. Either way thanks
Phylicia Levy, unfortunately this does not work on console, The only option iis to raise the difficulty slider. I've been told by some, that the slider does work on console.
Does this still works?
My in game difficulty setting is 1, Should I change it to 5?
@FantasticGamerIL, if you want higher dinos, yes. 😀
my game user settings file doesnt have a difficulty offset setting and when i did the code and checked the file again the new code disappeared even though i saved it
orangethingy, change the difficulty in the Advanced Tab. Then load the game. Get out of the game and make sure it's still where you set it. Then you should be able to do this.
@@Kaazoo71Games i was able to put the code into the settings file but all the dino levels were around the same as the 1.0 difficulty
@@mistypikku did you do a dino wipe?
@@Kaazoo71Games yes many, but I did notice a few 145 phiomia and a LVL 150 trike. It that a sign of the new difficulty working
@@mistypikku so it worked. If the island it's not just a ton of high levels but they do spawn.
So far it seems to be working for me and yet i still sometimes see lvl 2-12 dinos? Is there a way to get rid of them, like make sure the lowest lvl a dino can spawn at is lvl 50 or something? :o
Zin_Zin, unfortunately no. Low level ones will always spawn.
Can you set it to like 3-4 instead of 5 if you wanted to?
@oxfordandony2136, yes. Each one is 30 levels. So, 5 is max 150, 4 is max 120, 3 is max 90, 2 is max 60, and 1(the normal one) is max 30 (and you will see like a max of 36).
@@Kaazoo71Games thanks you awesome
Can this be done on console?? It’s really annoying seeing almost no Dino’s over level 100
Spartan playz, sorry, this only works on PC. I've heard from other console players that moving the difficulty up all the way on console will work. I have not tested it.
I can't find a single video showing how to do this with epic games. Can you help?
Todoroki, unfortunately I can't for sure. If you can locate the folder on your computer with Ark in it, they should have the same gameusersettings.ini
Sorry I can't help for sure. I don't use Epic Games.
@@Kaazoo71Games Thanks! i found the file and it works.
@@todoroki7611 Can you give me the address of the file that way if others on Epic ask, we hae it in the chat?
Hello, I need help with the Island. Did anything like in the vid and it still won`t work. I know this map is kinda glitchy, but are there any solutions?
@michi8832, I did this video on the island on Single Player. What part of it did not work? Did you get any dinos above 36? Did you not see a bunch of 150s or any? Let me know so I can try to help.
@@Kaazoo71Games Good day, OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5 did not work. I don`t know why. Then I put it on 6 and changed the difficulty before playing to 10. After that it worked. Now there are many high levels up to 180 like it should be. I think the map is just glitchy. On the other maps it worked.
@@michi8832 well I'm glad it worked. I set it to 5 and there were a few 150s.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Elliot Croxton You are welcome. Thanks for watching. 😀
do you have to put it at the top because mine was at the bottom
RibsDin, no the bottom is fine
@@Kaazoo71Games thank you
it has worked and its been rlly help full
@@solxz. you are very welcome.
Would this work for the Windows 10 version of ARK as well?
Andrew Scears, if you can find the file location, yes
Do you know where that may be
@@andrewscears7345 I do not for Windows 10 sorry
This is for Pc, but what if you are playing on console, like PS4?
Matija Antić, the only sort of fix it setting the difficulty as high as you can
There is a Maximum Difficulty check box in the General tab. That may be the fix Wildcard added
Thx I apreciate that
Bro ngl if this works im coming back and kissing you, new to ark and just seeing nothing above lvl 90 is KILLING ME
Stayed Gaming, it will work, as long as you put it in the right ini file. 😀
@@Kaazoo71Games IT DID< i didnt come back to kiss you cuz i was too excited. seeing a lvl 90 rex tops after playing for about 4 days was killing me. ty for the vid
in my files there are no server setting just session settings and when i put this under that tab it doesnt do anything even after a dino wipe. Any advice?
Matthew Schoeneman, I'm confused when you are saying Tabs. There should be no Tabs in the ini file, It opens in Notepad
you want the GameUserSettings.ini file
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Then the GameUserSettings.ini file
@@Kaazoo71Games ye sorry phrased poorly. Just the section of your file where it says server settings is not there for me. I did get to the proper ini file
@@floppybeef77 Ok, so change the difficulty level to 1 in your General Tab, when you do to Host/Local, Get on a map, then back off. Then go look. If you haven't changed any settings, that may be why you are not seeing it.
it still works 👍
Barbara Vaanholt - van der Zeeuw, yep, thanks
I tried evrything to make high Level Dinos Its Always max 120 IS IT a Feature With Mods??? I have ARK additional structures plus awesome spyglass and Dino storage
On the Island*
@user-hu7jg6rv5p, in this video I make it 5. Bump that number up to 6, 7, or higher. Each one will bump the dinos by 30 levels. But to answer your question, it's the Island. If you put it at 5, you will have a few 150s but not that many. That is the Island for you.
Thank you
will this make the bosses spawn with more health and damage?
@PeterCCura-ii3fk, yes
Does you tamed dinos go up in level or is it just the wild ones?
just wild ones will be affected but if you tame a high level wild dino after you override the diffuculty it will gain more levels from taming than a low level.
Thanks,
Can you do this on a non dedicated or does my friend need to do this too, like if I do it can he still join and stuff
He should be able to still join, yes, It's your game that you are raising the level on and it's your game he is joining
Why not just delete or change the setting below the one you added?
Because you still need that one, or at least I'm 90% sure you do. :)
is it normal to still find a handfull of low levels like 10
MIZ, and lower sometimes
Doesn't work Dino still scale by 4 and max is 120 with line put in
no ones real, I thought that was well for a while until I found a 150. Bump it up a bit. 5 is not the limit. Got to 6 and see what that does for you. I bumped mine to 10 and it put so many dinos over 300 that I was like, NO I'm good. Back to 5 it went. LOL
I just did this and I got 1 giga and 3 alpha rex all in the same area,
I had to set it back and dino wipe again
Guy Cohen, 😀 were they high levels?
@@Kaazoo71Games yep, around 70-100
But i didn't saw any dinos above 120 unfortunately, something messed up with the island map🥲
@@guycohen4403 it works you just don't get many. Set it up. Look around and do a dino wipe and look again
@@Kaazoo71Games it didn't work for me on the island map, only on fjor and I did a couple of dinowipes , it might be another setting that I need to change . Did you check the max diffeculty setting(set max dino level to 150 on all maps) ?
@@Kaazoo71Games I wish wildcard will make their setting in ark2 more "user friendly" and less buggy , not everyone wants to dig down to find the hidden settings on the buried folder and then add a line of text to a file . Just add slider on advenced settings to set the min and max dino levels , that it
Its not working for me, I did the override command and everything and the max level is still 120, maybe its because im playing scorched?
Edit: my dumba** spelled the code wrong, its fixed now
Steel Slide, awesome.
Does this still work 2022? I used to play ark back in the day 1000+ hrs. and decided to pick it back up. I hate they nurfed the Dyno levels.
Ɽevenant, yes, I just did this myself the other day and set mine to 10.0 instead of 5.0. Dinos at 300. 😀
@@Kaazoo71Games Great news! Have you played Gen 2? I really did not care for Gen 1 so I declined to play it. I don't like the arcade style it went for. IMO not a survival game any longer. The Island is still one of the best maps if you get tames off the other maps. That is why I asked.
@@Revenant483 Yes, I play Genesis 2. Genesis 1 was horrible. I agree.
@@Kaazoo71Games Agreed! Thanks for the reply. I am enjoying Gen 2 starting out with non-fueled full Tech suit is sweet! I like that all but 1 thing in the Tek tree is unlocked by level. Only thing I am having issue with is they tied the challenges to completing the map. They are not as goofey as Gen 1 challenges but still. :)
@@Kaazoo71Games you can set higher?! I'll try it 😊
Can i get some help, so i can't find my ark folder in common, why is that?
nvm i found it
