Dominate Bosses with Ceratosaurus, Game Changing Abilities. Ark Survival Ascended 

Yeah I didn’t roar as often as I should in either fight. I did the alpha fight though in my most recent video.As well as the alpha monkey dragon. It went a lot better 😂 Here it is if you’re Interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q0G9cIl_eHc.htmlsi=_hmFGF_L8T68aQPf

Yeah the pigs really make a difference. I got the ceras up to 25 mutations between health and melee. I tried alpha with no pigs today but a pair of rexes for tanking and I lost. The broods health was so low you could barely see the green bar. The saddles were mostly 61 armor. I had 3 just above 70. The self healing of the ceras in a group seems to still not outweigh the damage that is dealt to them sadly 😞

@@ChaosBearGaming Yea there healing is good but they need that extra pump in healing so the pigs worked wonders I put about 200 basic kibble on them so they keep healing and 1 stack of raw meat in Ceras for food buff not a super big buff but always like to have it then all my saddles where only 62-67 armor but yuty constantly roaring with pigs healing and mate boost and imprint all made the fight pretty easy was crazy

@@kfc6taco743 yeah I kept trying without the pig and it was a no go, but even 1 pig can make the difference and of course better saddles make a huge difference too.

Thank you for that call out. I appreciate it. I will definitely give it a go.

I just brought 1 for a distraction, I didn’t consider a 2nd one for that mate boost. Very good call. I will definitely be bringing a 2nd one when I challenge the alpha. Thanks for that call out.

@@ChaosBearGaming Yeah brother. Anytime. It would also be good to know if the heal burst stacks… cause if not. You would need to flip it, have a pair of ceras and then the rest rexs. Side note: Megatheriums are OP for brood lol you easily would smashed the alpha brood with 17 megatheriums, 2 ceras & 1 Yuti

@@danny_dan92 I definitely know the mega go to town in this fight. I know in ASE there was water in the arena so spinos also did quite well against her. I’ll have to do some more experimenting with the ceras. I want them to be the stars of the fight, but we will see what I can come up with. Thanks again, I appreciate you.

@@ChaosBearGaming Yeah man!! I was telling my tribe mates the same thing you said. They’re like aggressive Daedons. Couldn’t be anymore accurate

I heard it before and saw it in a video when I first started Ark many years ago. Just to confirm I looked it up now and it appears to be a thing (according to this post) This was a post I found on Reddit from 192 days ago: Aggro is primarily based on a dino's "Base Targeting Desirability". This is something you can't really see outside of looking in the Dev Kit as far as I'm aware. Here are some common dino Desirability's (higher means targeted first): • ⁠Stego: 1.2 • ⁠Theri: 0.8 • ⁠Rex: 1.3 • ⁠Yuty: 1.3 • ⁠Spino: 1.35 • ⁠Megatherium: 1.1 • ⁠Shadowmane: 0.8 • ⁠Reaper: 0.8 • ⁠Magmasaur: 1.35 • ⁠Amarga: 1.35 • ⁠Andrewsarchus: 0.8 • ⁠Mammoth: 1.3 • ⁠Rhino: 1.1 • ⁠Rock Drake: 1.0 • ⁠Cliff Chicken (Deinonychus): 0.8 With these in mind, if you want to tank damage with a Stego, your DPS dinos should be Theris, Megatheriums (Broodmother), or any of the other dinos below 1.2. Notably you should avoid most of the traditional carnivores like Rexes and Spinos. If you want to ride on a Yuty but avoid drawing aggro, you should use Spinos or Magmasaurs (Dragon) instead of Rexes, or just stay farther from the boss than your Rexes. There are other combinations, but the key is to choose your tank dino(s) and DPS dinos with the tank having a higher Desirability than the DPS. If you wanna check the Desirability of a dino not on this list, look in that dino's Character_BP in the dev kit, or if you don't feel like downloading a second copy of ARK, message me and I'll check. (This info is all for ASE, but I doubt they have changed the Desirability of dinos in ASA yet) Me again: So I don’t know if that did transfer over from ASE to ASA now that’s it s been out for a while. But it seems like it certainly was possibly a thing at some point. At least based on this finding. But if you have anything that says otherwise I would be happy that read through it. Also I am finding a lot of different articles on this. So it seems like it’s a common discussion in the ark community.

He fucking destroyed you with that reply

@@matthewharris4580 😂😂 I was just passing along info that I found (that I believed to be correct) I am open to always learning new things or being told I am wrong 😂 we as a Community got to share all the stuff we find.

Yeah it was a crazy poll for sure 😂

Yeah of course. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it. I just uploaded a more recent video where I took on the alpha versions of each boss with the Ceras if you’re interested to see how that plays out.

Yeah trying to make them much beefier now lol 😂

My treasure maps were bugged for awhile. That’s good to know you can find them there. Thanks for that call out.

That sounds like a nice set up. Where have you found the saddles at?

Rex saddle bps in swamp cave in redwoods and cera saddle bps in gold world drops

@@Tinknocker03 I knew about the Rex ones, but had no clue about the Cera BPs still. Are you referring to the basic drops that Come from the sky or ocean drops? Also thank you, I appreciate you putting that out there.

@@ChaosBearGaming found them in world drops both premade and bp’s sky drops

Sky drops

I did both the gamma and the beta fight. With no mutations or imprints just to see how effective the heal was. There will definitely be an alpha fight in the near future. Sorry to disappoint you with this one, but I promise it’s coming here soon.

@@ChaosBearGamingofficial settings? If so that’s fairly impressive

@@trainedorphan9640it’s single player settings, but yeah they are default. Not sure if there is any major difference between single player default settings and official. I thought it went decently well for having no imprints or mutations, besides me over committing on the yuty😂

@@ChaosBearGaming There's a huge difference between single player settings and official. you want to uncheck the option if you're trying to compare it to official servers in any capacity. If you aren't then don't worry about it.

@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken I wasn’t necessarily going for an exact comparison. More just trying to see if the ceratosaurus is a viable option in general with their self healing. However, others have compared it to Official, or asked if it worked on official so it may be worth trying to match my settings up with official. Thank you pointing that out. I remember the box in ASE was clear as day and I always had it unchecked cause it threw off all my breeding settings. I haven’t noticed it for ASA. I will have to go poke around later when I am off work.

In the first fight I was just testing out the Cera Heal and wanted to see if it was or was not affected by the Yuty buff. The second time I got too worried and dove in headfirst (going into my menu to show off the heal didn’t help). I definitely should have stayed back and just buffed and I for sure would have won.

I think they could easily do the beta, I just messed up the fight. I should have continued to use the courage roar and I should have brought a 2nd rex for a mate boost. Plus they have no imprint or mutations. So with even a little investment and proper planning I think they could do the alpha. I will be testing there out sometime this week.

These are unimprinted, unridden, primitive saddle tames with zero mutations. Shut the fuck up

They're Wild tamed Ceras with prim saddles. The fact they brought down Beta Brood to 1/6th it's health is impressive. Also FYI, people use brood as a base to "stress test" dinos because it hits the hardest with the most consistent DPS. generally speaking anything that can fight brood SHOULD be able to fight other bosses of the same tier. Obviously nothing will ever outperform Megatheriums vs Brood.
