Just started this game on iPad a few days ago, feeling the same way... overwhelming how much there is to do in this game, especially when you're still at level 30 with very few ways of farming. But looking forward to advancing this game it's so addictive!
If you don’t like how hard it is you shouldn’t buy the dlc’s trust me the free maps is kinda easy compared to aberration, scorched earth and genesis + you can increase the resources amount if you’re not playing on a phone I recommend to put it at 2.0 it’s decent and doesn’t make the game so easy but a bit easier
Biggest tip. Either play single player or pve. Unless you can play the game like a job. Atleast that's how I feel. So you can take you time getting acclimated and used to doing stuff
I got one more that saved my life a few times: When going on a diving adventure, take a chair with you. While swimming, you'll eventually run out of stamina and maybe your underwater tame is busy saving your ass or too far out to reach. You're too deep down to reach any coast nearby. Then it's time for the pro-gamer move: Put the chair down, sit and regain full stamina to carry on. It doesn't need a foundation or whatever, so you also may want to put a chair down riverside in shallow water where the juicy saber tooth salmons spawn and don't need to drag a raft around for loot-fishing. Edit: I've just watched another video from BEY where he mentioned exactly what I wrote, so I am sorry if this is redundant now, but I'll leave it here for good measure :) This dude really knows his stuff, and impressively so, good job!
Haha yeah I usually take one down when exploring the ocean! Never know when you're going to need it. I have it featured in my general 50 tips and tricks video, I did just want to focus this one fully on resource gathering so steered away from the general tips and tricks for this video XD
@@BEYPlaysGames LOL, yes Sir, I have just watched the other video where you've explained it and edited my comment accordingly. Amazingly well done, great and truly helpful content that took me maybe a thousand hours of playtime and some tiresome digging through Dododex comments to find the good bits and hints. Now thanks to your videos, everyone can instantly have a better experience as ARK SE/ASA can be a bitch as it is already, so any Bob out there could use the help, I believe.
Haha thanks man! You didn't have to edit it but thank you! I really appreciate your kindness and very kind comments!! Hope you have a great day! 😁@@ancogaming
Only had a chance to watch the first 5 mins so far, but just wanted to say you have absolutely crushed it with this one bud. Great work on the content, delivery, the effort gone into the shots and editing. Just fantastic, great job!
Thanks mate!! Really appreciate the kind words! You're also smashing it with the Palworld Tips and Tricks! I did just watch the Advanced tips one! Will be useful when I get around to playing it again :D
Outstanding video, thanks mate! Learnt a lot from watching and I really enjoyed watching, great video pace, informative and most of all very entertaining and well edited!!
Love your videos man!! Keep up the great work. We need more ARK RUclipsrs like you. You're always spreading great info and positivity through your videos, Super underrated.
This video was well done Bey! Great job. Looked so good, and good info. When you played your singleplayer playthrough, did you use the singleplayer settings checkbox turned on?
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind comment! :D I haven't played much Single Player to be honest but yes I always have that box turned off, I can always write down my server settings if you're interested in any? :)...Most of it is 1x settings minus breeding speed XD
Great video! Was really nice to see the melee damage comparison when harvesting metal! It mattered more than I thought, appreciate the video Bey, Keep it up....your videos have been TOP tier since ASA released!
Wish I could give this two thumbs up! I loved how you zoomed into the best locations for metal and obsidian! You also showed that pearl cave location way better than some other youtubers I watched. The tip about the snow above the cave would have definitely saved me some time.
I’ve played ark official pvp back on release with evolved. Switched to pve later in the years, but ASA came out. Started another PVP with the boys, then switched to PVE. I just wanted to be within a server with people, idk why. Maybe the aspect of not being alone, trading, helping others in pve while trying to build up to getting the bosses done, and seeing these crazy cool builds. Started a single player, and I’ll say I’ve had the absolute most fun with this game, even though I said I’d never play it single player. Trophy hunting and boss killing are such a progress with vanilla single player and it truly feels like the journey ark was intended to be. With this information I’m learning so much I never knew from this game. What I highly recommend is being a nerd like me, making sign posts, wall signs and writing in the in-game notes the things this fella is teaching. It takes time to establish all this info in the game, but it saves so much time to not have to go back searching for how to do something. I just go to my library of info. Another thing I’d say to do is, TRY NOT TO GOOGLE OR RUclips ANYTHING. I know I’m saying this on a tips and tricks video, but this fella caught my attention by jumping straight into the information and I was just hooked. So I made my info in game and came back here to share. Make yourself a library, and learn the game as you go taking notes in game. It truly gets you attached. Don’t ever pick up your phone, just explore, and note it down. You don’t know which dino takes which kibble? Experiment. You need a certain resource but can’t find it? Use certain tools to see what you get from that dino/plant/etc. “magnifying glass for my only tip” and just EXPLORE. Put the phone down, pick up the controller, wear headsets for a more immersive experience, and just get absolutely lost in this game. It’s a beautiful gem… do this for all games. Good hunting!
Thanks for the lovely comment! ARK is definitely one of the games that boasts a unique learning and exploration experience when compared to other games, I can honestly say there's no other game like it :D I do also recommend playing it and not looking up videos on everything to not ruin the experience, there is so much to learn XD
Keep em coming Bey! Are you making a/some 100 days videos for ASA at all? Wanted to mention I'd love to see a Palworld one, It's nice to see you are still making all these great ARK videos even after the release of Palworld, that is all everyone is playing right now, gets abit samey not gonna lie lol
Absolutely solid list, thank you. No foam or underwater bubble effects (movement based) for me, foliage interaction on and all necessary... but now my storms contain lightning. Any suggestions for the water? Or is anyone else in the same boat?
Thank you! And no problem! Sorry i'm not sure I understand? XD...I have figured out what setting it is for fixing flashing lights all over walls, not sure if that would help? It was driving me insane when I played down a load of Omnidirectional lampposts and there was constant flickering everywhere. Not sure if that will be related at all? I'd have to log in to the game and double check which setting if that's the case!
@@BEYPlaysGames I would certainly love to know that lighting setting as well! But what I am referring to is if you take a look at 10:38 in the video - you're riding the Angler: the foam around you at the surface and then as you're diving down/swimming, you also see bubbles flowing profusely around you as you move.. my game does not exhibit those despite Foliage Interaction being on, and even at max settings (including others like Post Processing, Adv. Graphics, Effect Quality, etc). Not sure which setting it is for those bubbles/foam to show up. I tried to look that up, but found nothing.. saw you had the foam/bubbles so I wanted to try and ask! Regardless, thanks for the reply.
I'll have a look next time i'm in-game! Ahhh I see, sorry for not understanding! I'm honestly unsure about that one unfortunately! If I ever figure it out i'll be sure to let you know!@@KangaPrimeAGM
17:30 in the lower south cave (the easiest one on the island near spawn location), there is a huge crystal cluster in the entrance that you can farm with an anky if you still have no argentavis. The anky doesnt fit in the cave but at the entrance before going deep, you can farm on or two clusters, easy greenhouse just by going one time in the cave.
If you walk up to swamp bushes with a zino and hop off and let it auto harvest it gets massive amounts of flowers. Also you can have a grill Q on follow to a giga and you can end up with insane amounts of cooked primes, great vid!
Great video mate! I've been loving your videos even more so since ASA released! Just need the Wildcard DEVs to actually give us a new map already lol!!
Definitely subscribing, this ark isnt as bad with the tether so my friends are actually playing it with me lool thanks for all the great tips this was a dope video man!!
Awesome video dude, all we need now is for Wildcard to sort their team out and release another map lol, PLEASE Wildcard, PLEASE. They desperately need new content so badly!!
Such a great video and really refreshing to watch! All I’m seeing is ARK hate videos right now! I do have faith the devs will turn the game around and make it the best game out there! C’mon Devs!
Wow! Oh my GOD, does ARK Ascended look good. It’s also a little different is such a great way. Maybe, just maybe ARK 2’s gonna be even better, though I’d definitely be satisfied if it’s just as great as Ascended. 😌

Feel like. I know nothing about this game
As a newer player I feel like I’m getting information overload with how much there is to do in this game but thank you for this helpful guide!
No problem! Thanks!

Love the bear falling through the floor at 0:14 - really getting into the meat of what Ark is all about right away (the endless glitches)
His atoms aligned perfectly
Still can't believe you only have 32k subs when your videos are way better than everyone else. Another banger Bey!

Such a great video and really refreshing to watch! All I’m seeing is ARK hate videos right now! I do have faith the devs will turn the game around and make it the best game out there! C’mon Devs!
Wow! Oh my GOD, does ARK Ascended look good. It’s also a little different is such a great way. Maybe, just maybe ARK 2’s gonna be even better, though I’d definitely be satisfied if it’s just as great as Ascended. 😌
good stuff and advice
Thank you!
Toilet spoiled meat…. Well thats something New I learned
