5 Things NOT To Do As Beginners | Path of Titans 

6. Don't spend your marks on fancy skins but for buffing abilities!

Things not to do. 1. Kill a bb and say gg like it was a fair fight 2. Accept a 1v1 and invite your friend or group to help you, and don’t ambush them while they’re waiting for you to get to area. 3.Don’t do all the things I just mention and call the person a puss. 4. Don’t be a puss meaning don’t do all the things I just listed for you. You be surprised on how many people are like this in this game.

Love this video! The Beginner Tips I always have is: 1. Grow a Small Dino first Yes this is boring but the reason why the Game default starts players as Campto, Deinonychus/Laten is because they are fast, easily fed & hydrated, and very survivable. These dinos will teach you the game. A. How to Move B. How to Quest C. The layout of the Map D. The Flow of Life and Death 2. Chose Natural color skins When you create a dino, try to stick to browns, greens, and grays. As you grow in experience you can change it up, but while learning a dino and the game having nature colors wi allow you to blend in with the foliage making you very difficult to spot. This is a serious life saver. 3.Don't trust anyone Never Accept anything random. Do not accept random out of the blue group invites or Waystone invites. Group invites can/will show your position on the map. Many jerks use this to track you, and since they are a teammate they make you "think" they are friendly. Waystones (Simple covered this) Additionally, if someone in Global ever says: "[Area Name] is safe." Assume the opposite. Assume the worst of everyone you see. Do not let them get close, do not accept group invites, do not accept waystones. When in a Group: A. Do not rest with attack range of your teammates. B. Do not "Tell" your team you are hurt/resting. C. Do not turn your back on your teammates. 4. Stay Away from Hotspots & Heating Up Spots Pay attention to Global Chat and look up the abbreviations for areas. This way when you see players mention areas and the chaos going on in them you can avoid it or get out of the area before it gets too dangerous. 5. Abandon your Quests If you: A. Get a quest that is particularly hard/dangerous/will take too long for your dino to complete. B. The area you are questing is FULL of danger / you are outnumbered / you see/hear a major threat coming. Skip/Abort it (leave the area The death penalty outclasses what you've missed out of by skipping/aborting the Quest. Example (from Gondwa): Deliver 5 Flowers in Snake Alley If you are something that swigs slow then this quest means 10 swims across a river with a VERY high chance of having an adult Semi-Aquatic in it. If you cannot dive under the water to "scout" then it's not worth completing. Waystone Quest It is OK to sit on this quest. Depending on where you spawn, this quest will most likely be a death sentence. Either make this the very first quest you complete or save it for a time when no one is around. Waystones are often meeting spots, and you will get killed if you just roll on up and touch the Waystone. Quests are everywhere. No quest is worth your life. 6. Noise Simply covered most of this but as an addendum. NEVER tell other players what dino or stage of growth you are. While it is fun to roar and be a little baby shit, running around makes noise, talking makes noise. Make too much and you will get your group killed or injured. Rain cloaks footstep noise. Use rainstorms to evade / hide / sneak away from deadly encounters. Additionally, picking up quest items MAKES NOISE. So if you see a threat you are wary of or know you're being hunted do not pick up anything. Simply hide in silence. Crouching For dinos who can crouch this + slowly moving forward will reduce your sound to near nothing. 7. Eating & Drinking Never drink from a deep water edge. Look for rocks, logs, or very shallow stretches to drink from. The distance and shallows between you and the water may just save your life.

Another trick is to let your dino get hungry until you get the "find food" quest on which completion you get an additional amount of growth and 50 marks. If you have enough marks apply increased metabolism to your dino so it becomes hungry faster!

im a new player but i learned if you run in a zig zag, especially as a small dino while being chased, you have a higher chance at escaping your enemy because it might cause them to lag AND make them miss numerous times

Let's cool down on the KOSing term. Very hard in game to know exactly what's a KOS, who's hungry, or who has a quest to hunt herbs for example.

One thing I found very helpful is that when you’re a baby and you see a potential threat in the distance, then crouch and find a nearby bush to hide in. Crouching quiets your footsteps, and the bushes will completely conceal you if you’re a baby, or if you’re a small dino. If you’re bigger in size, then being in the bushes is still better than being out in the open. Hiding in the bushes is also good if you want to lay down and recover health and/or stamina without being seen.

I normally protect small Dino’s with my metri so they can grow. I only fight/kill when I’m attacked or hungry. My first Dino was a sarco and I had fun growing him. I’m now a metri main on the gondwa map I stay in rockfall hill and my name is directccking if u see a black and gold metri say hi I won’t attack a juvi unless I’m dying from hunger.

always check the water for sarcos and listen to hear them charge bite.

If you're a baby dino, you can hide in critter burrows. Simply crouch and slowly walk in through the entrance where critters come out. To get out, simply go out the way you came in. If going forward doesn't work, turn around, use percise movement, and walk backwards. BEWARE: You won't be able to fit into critter burrows / may get stuck inside them once you reach a certain size. For small creatures, this'll be around late adolescent to sub. For mid tiers such as concavenator, this'll be around late juvenile. And for the bigger creatures such as sucho and rex, they can't fit in a burrow at all after reaching juvenile. The best part is that non-baby players can't fit in burrows, AND digging out the critter doesn't boot you out of the burrow

Something to add on to making noise when you use chat. If you lay down and sleep, you won’t make noise. It’s a good time to rebuild stamina/chat.

For hotspots in gondwana is: young grove, green hills, big quilt lake, triad falls, sometimes crater impact and hunters thicket. Any home cave in those spot are camped by mix packing groups, sarcos, spinos, suchos and ducks by any near by water source too.

Idk if I'm late to put this, but they had added a homecave debuff when you go near it so people can't camp, I'm not sure if it impacts attacks/dmg. But it's makes you- REALLY slow. They also added before you leave homecave a message will pop up saying: "No one is near homecave do you want to leave?" Just wanted to put this small update here :D

I just started playing this game 2 days ago. These videos have been so helpful in learning the game. Day one was stressful, but playing today after watching a few of these videos, the gaming experience has been much better, so thank you! I met one friendly person today, and it made the game so much better to be in a pack. So if anyone wants to hang and help me grow my juvenile Sarco, let me know!

They need to rework the XP system. It's just too much grind imo

Gamingbeaver got me interested in the game but you are teaching me the game. Your videos are very helpful.

I ALWAYS trust too fast.. the other day.. there was a juvenile allo, I was juvi meg. He did lay down to symbolize being friendly. I did the same. Guess what, his allo friend attacked from behind. I ran.. got stuck at a rock and they killed me😂

If I do the crouch cease fire I’m not gonna kill other players. I’m not gonna play dirty and bait them like that. I hate it when people act friend then turn around and jump you.

I love it when people jump me on my stego. For some reason I'm better at fights on my stego over my carnivores. My stego is still growing but so gar I've fought off a conc and a Meg. Both were trying to kill me, but they realized they made a mistake and ran off. It's a rewarding feeling when you realize that your opponent bit off more than they can chew and they flee.

i was killed in official servers about 3-5 times before i quit them and went to community joined new beginnings and having fun learning the game with nice players

And I have a couple rexes on official servers, and yeah, experienced a lot of ambush kosing from other people, especially with mix packs that have their own T. rex players too.

I noticed that (at least on console) you can also press the rest/chat key to cancel the noise you make from text chat, so you don't always have to have something in your mouth for silent chatting if you're quick enough. It works better for dinos with longer roars.

Do not ever trust the water.

From my experience, PoT brings out more bad in people than good. Nowadays you're just as likely to encounter jerks in the chat/game as friendly folks. Hence why precautions like these must be taken. I try to be social and helpful but I've seen my fair share of cruel and cunning players.

My first dino was a rex, I died maybe like 4 or 5 times my entire journey between baby and adult. Mostly just kept to myself, occasionally I would join a carno group but usually just stayed away from the hotspots and did just fine. Most of the dinos I ran into away from the hotspots were also my size so they usually kept their distance.

Another piece of advice which may not be for everyone I learned combat way faster joining a deathmatch server where you lose nothing when dying and yes it and be toxic but there’s a lot of 1v1 opportunities and you can get fighting tips from players while 1v1 it’s good practice and really helped me gain some muscle memory on fighting with certain Dino’s without all the panic involved for example I learned para combat styles on death match and when I got on community server I was more confident and my small herd fought off apexes such as gigas rexes spinos and sarcos even killed a few of them before practicing the combat alot I was so nervous to actually jump in and fight so deathmatch servers for me helped with that 😊

Made the hot spot quest mistake, some a**hole spinos killed me mid quest. I also trusted one person as a baby dino, damn poopy face tried to kill me.

Spino is great as beginner. Its so easy to avoid many dinos. By staying near The water

There actually is a pop up now that will tell you if there are players near the home cave and the area around it is fairly decent sized

Also 1 for beginners, always safe log (wait 1 min and then log)

One tip if u have a farm place on the map like the place that he is recording, have a small fast dino like a megalania (i dont grow it to be easier to hide) to scout to see if theres any danger around before logging on your main dino I avoided death so many times thanks to this

2:49 the international minecraft sign of peace

100% accurate on all of these points! Especially the "friendly" invites.

The part where he says don’t pick an apex as ur 1st Dino is so facts, when I got the game I chose sarco as my 1st one and man did I regret it it was so difficult it was giving me a bad 1st impression on the game so I decided to grow other things 1st like megalania and I got more of a feel then later on I went back and finished my sarco

First Dino I grew was the flyer, really good for questing and traveling, but not pvp. I recommend this one for beginners tho

Go inside the home cave instead of using the stone outside it. Saved my life countless times.

I will NEVER even consider tyrannosaurus, I despise everything about that dino

Your videos have been helpful I just bought the game , I just did the things you said not to do , What I learned was not everyone we’ll attack you if you don’t act aggressive, I just give a small roar , I like to act like a real Dino , I am a trex , and the roars are scary thank you Ps about the trex thing I well keep that in mine

Hotspots in Gondwa, based on my observation, are Crater, Green Valley, Hunter's Thicket (common baby spawn), and Big Quill Lake. Avoid those if you want to have a chill experience in raising a dino.

Also finding a bush to sleep in you can sit/lay down and go into sleep mode to not growl too.

You can also start out on single player mode just to get a hang of the controls and way of the game.

Thank you

People who just straight up Kill on sight in mist are the fcking worst. All it took for my Goose to be killed after surviving onslaught after onslaught of Pachy's, Carnivores etc to take me down was a player exploiting stam regen and attacking me out of nowhere giving me no chance to retaliate and costing me and my friend quest progress, mix packing a**holes.

My first Dino was a spino I refused to give up now I have a chap of the main severs but I agree with you I just saying I grown a spino I work hard and just showing off my hard work right now single player spino in the main sever and good hunting to all you new players

6. After buying every ability, buy a skin that could HELP you, not some colourful one so that everyone within 20km can see you, buy a green one (depending on where you are most of the time)

I never use the waystone for anything other than the quest for when you first get out of the tutorial.

Considering buying this game just wanna learn more about it. I watched your honest review now this one. I would probably pick a Spinassaurus as my first Dino but if I get Targeted, probably won't pick it 😅

tbh its very rare for me to find anyone to kill,befreind or add to the pack

My first dino was the Deinonychus, since I think they are hella cool

I need a guide to tell you how to understand different calls because I can’t recognize what someone is trying to tell me ;-;

I think Ano has quickly become my most hated dinosaur. Rex are easy to avoid but anos just keep chasing to the end of time. 😂 So frustrating.

Play an aquatic like Eurhino or Kai if you wanna grow in relative peace.

One of the hot spots for gondwa is the crater

1 call till banned from community server. Check. Start in impact crater, check. Ignore all invites, even those from real friends, check. Grow 8 hour modded Argentinosaurus first, check. Log out in bushes, there is no home cave on my community server xD - check Serious note. I don't use calls, ever, even after I murder someone's face in. Even though a roar establishes dominance. I found some areas of the map that are pretty hit or miss at the moment. Sometimes I see no one all day, sometimes there are roaming gank duos looking for new / solo players. I have no friends on this game, so I just ignore invites right now. I don't see any real need to group up, unless I start playing herbivores. The server I play on is Semi Realism. So group restrictions for carnis is pretty tight. Funny enough first thing I grew was a spinosuarus. I love that dino. My favorite thing from ARK. Oddly enough I saw no other players while I grew it (server was always 100+ players). I am enjoying the mid tier dinos more though. Slow ones are so painful for maneuverability. If I had to give a tip as a new player. Find a good community server to play on. With rules. Then get to know the other people on that server, most of them you will see very often. You could make some cool friends along the way. The game is a lot more fun with just 1 other person in your team.

First time I played I picked deinonychus I love it

My first time going on officials both my Spinosaurus spawned at LBM and I didn’t get killed once in 3 hours of questing and roaming.

I've grow a t rex my first time 😂i was brave but it took one month when i was a beginner

Welp I already did one thing wrong lol since I started with a Rex haha but barely made it to sub adult tho but I always died by them damn trikes but then again everyone in general 😢

When I get a Way Stone invite from a random player,I always except it. The only difference is I just waste their time and continue questing, making them think I'm gonna teleport.

I'm going to do all of these

Is it mix-packing if you have multiple different carnos if you are a carno or different herbs in your group if your a herb?

What does "tick rate" mean. It's an attribute of servers on the multiplayer "server list".

Ciao simply, scusa se ti scrivo in italiano ma sono a lavoro con il cellulare...ti volevo chiedere perché non trovo da nessuna parte la mod con il lupo e la mod con il puma? "Gioco su ps5". Un altra cosa...perché se completo al 100% una località il giorno dopo rientro sullo stesso server e non me la salva? Grazie in anticipo

love the fact that i have 2k+ hours on pot but i'm still here looking at the video 😂😂

Played as a Rex for First Dino, hated every second of It and i hate It even once i became an adult, you Just walk and try slaughter untill a group of midtiers/apexes bully you

#1 thing NOT to do: DON'T PLAY OFFICIAL, THE GROWTH RATES ARE INFURIATING. Primordial Tyrants is an excellent no rules server.

a good dino to start is a bird thalo especialy to learn the map

I grew a spino first and had very few problems

I changed my controller layout. Switched running from holding down left joystick to left trigger and made the joystick precision. Helped keep my hands from cramping during extended chases and allowed me to get away easier, even from multiple attackers

The most important lesson is: know how to hide and see other players before they see you.

I play on PC, but the precise controls suck on PC. How can I remap the game controller keys for a USB controller? The don't seem to remap.

Hi new player and funny you mention not trusting anyone I was lucky and got one who saved me for no reason, I was walking around doing quest, and past by a river where a carnivore just attack me and right beside me just so happen to be a full on adult herbivore, who just came to my aid like a boss. Mind you I was a t rex who was still a child he had no reason to do what he did, and just went in and saved me scaring off the predator and just protecting this helpless baby t rex. Like literally getting between me and the predator, roaring and stomping, to get him to leave after that saved I just followed him around for a bit, he killed some of the small creatures in burros for me when I was hungry, and even help me do some of my quest, I felt like I was playing some kind of family dinosaur movie scene, cause as we go up a hill a smaller herbivore comes up and hang around with us for a bit

Is it mixpacking if I protect carno juvis if I'm a herb? Or if I'm a carno protecting herb juvis?

I was a sarco and I was an adult looking after a baby sarco and when it got to sub-adult it tried to kill me but I destroyed him

Playing as Deinonynchus here, but I tried T-Rex and found out about fall damage. As a Deinonynchus you can jump from rocks and be fine, but T-Rex dies, so it's harder for me to move around (Android player).

For begin is better carno or herb?

Hi, I wish you would download an explanation to solve the problem of the community servers. Literally, I can only enter one server. The rest of the servers tell me that you cannot enter. The server used is old. Who has a solution to the problem. I play on the PlayStation.

i remember that one time i met a freindly pycno,they invited me,once i found them they just told me to do things cause they were the leader,obviously,then we didnt last long until some a****** had to cut it and kill us for no reason,welp,at least that pycno was trustworthy

I've been waiting to pull the trigger on buying this game. I've been watching videos and stuff about this game to know whether it's for me or not. It really seems cool.

When I download this game this weekend ima grow the anky well not the anky but a lesser known anky so ya

My first dino was a thal and I quickly discovered ppl assumed I was annoying.

Wish I found this video sooner didn't realise how toxic people are so horrible

Man it so hard to find a server that's decent and don't got a trillion rules

Bro I JUST FINISHED THE TUTORIAL AS A TREX AND GOT SPAWNED BUY 2 TRIKES AND A SARCO AND INSTANTLY THEY All CAME AFTER ME

Omg I always go to hot spots it’s fun

i would just like a list where the deinonychus is near the top (not speed)

Bro grassland crater and g.lake ain’t just some left side of the map 😬. It is secretly a hotspot in official servers. Second best population after big lake.

I started the game with sarco and yes its an awful Idea. If i had to restart id choose meg first. I grew sarco with little combat encounter so as an adult i lost to a meg in the WATER☠

My tips in POT for beginners is first do your settings controls etc makes game play more easy and your style. When I first got the game I wasn't a big fan of the painfuly slow growth on officials so i switched to some beginniner friendly community servs and it did help asking around if I didn't know how to do something like accept a ws. For combat I usually go with EoTriceratops or the Ano. Sometimes rex but it feels to much of a cliché to pick the strongest. I often play as stego or dasp as well. For being a solo player I'd go with allosaurus or EoTriceratops. Maybe thallasodromos if you wanna explore and travel a little more easy ig but collision and low asf stats is thallasodromos downfall. If you want to explore the water maybe be a aquatic. Go with spino and maybe sarco or sucho the kai is just lonely af to play as. Some community servs might also have commands like to tp yourself to certain areas or give yourself marks and others or promote someone. Simply has already made a vid on admin commands ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ex-iqCZVXCo.html

100% agree on the not choosing an apex, and not trusting anyone, even (in fact especially not) your own species. Any herbivores wandering about without a care looking like a tasty snack, beware, chances are if they’re being overly cocky or aggressive, if you engage, you’ll get broadsided by something way scarier that was waiting for you to take the bait. Good thing about the meadow is you’re guaranteed 3 quests (though still need to be cautious of people camping at the bee hive tree or sarcos under the lakeweed), nearby food and water, plenty of visibility, and a few places to take cover to avoid being seen, whereas spined lizard lagoon very often has quest points guarded by large herds and very often becomes a bloodbath. Never assume just because you’re small, no threat and minding your own business that you’re safe either, you’re just as likely to be stamped on by a ceratopsian as swallowed by a Rex.

I was an adult sarco... At talons point in water, a dino i think it was a rex idk he was with 2 meg... I wanted to attack but when i approached he teabagged and i felt pity of him and i disnt... When i went a lil far from water to collect branch he jumped me broke my leg so i was slow af and jumped me with the 2 meg... Aftee this i promised to never trust anyone

Personally heres my favorite questing spots for Gondwa (Keep in mind, my first dino to grow adult is Sarcosuchus so... This roster might have a little disadvantage to some) Hunters Thicket Red Island Snake Gully (hunting herbivores) Sharptooth Marsh Rockfall Hill

DON’T got to impact crater no matter what u will get killed if your small and a solo or just far from your party but I don’t care if your dying of thirst find somewhere else if u want to live kosing happens there most of the time

I know you have covered this game a lot over the last year. For someone looking at the game and using your videos to "scout" or check the game out before buying, would you still recommend the game now after all your hours of playing?

I have just started playing, I chose to be a Laten. And I don’t know what this game used to be like, but the people in the comments sound paranoid as hell😂 I always accept random group invites and I always trust group mates like family😂 I once met these two large dinosaurs (not sure what? Maybe like a spino without the spine) and they invited me to their group, we’re extremely friendly and even added me as a friends because they were going to switch servers and asked me if I wanted to join them there!

I can’t play community or multiplayer because its saying that I need a upgrade. But How do I install this upgrade?

Also don't hide in bushes they won't help you because mobile players bushes don't work right and they will see you I've been killed so many times because of this

Facts i sent rando invites as a Kai in the ocean for a laugh and killed a Trex at the bottom of the ocean

I must be very lucky, played for an hour and a half as a trex for first playthrough and never got attacked. I even ran into an adult. With all the videos ive seen im waiting for death, but it never comes.
