TOP 5 BEST Blueprint & Loot Farms In ARK: Survival Ascended | Full Guide! 

I've been dealing with the Snow Cave by staying at home and living with a healthy state of denial that it exists.

🤣😂@@LittleBallOfPurr

I good Yuty will definitely help in there man!

sadly yuty dies quick.., the best method is to run with 2 barys, one keep whistling to be in front, so purlovias attack him, and then you killing them. that works best for me, never died.

You must have very strong Bary's? I did do it with a Yuty in the end, I just fear roared everything then use the pump action to easily kill everything with the debuff as it does a load of damage XD@@eligijuspranskunas3509

Glad it was helpful! I always think it's best to over-prepare too so some items you admittedly may not need but it is what I personally take to each cave and it always works :)

It's crap though, everything just gets destroyed so easily :( It works if you don't get it shot off lol but it's highly unlikely, have to take a lot of spares, absolute nightmare, I always wait until I can make a gasmask tbh, it's actually less hassle :D

You only need 3 pieces of scooba combined with 2 ghilli

We already know this lol

Overrated on Scorch fr fr

​@@gen8901no fkn shit

They are terrible! You can't go into the ocean without a pack of megs hunting you down. I've fought 16 before and it's rediculous!

@@williaml1361 once tamed that insane damage is now yours

Thanks mate!! :D

Thanks man! I really appreciate that!

Gone mad or seen caving years ago.....

That's a pretty narrow mindset, clearly haven't seen how good every one of his videos are when compared to the big RU-vidrs. @@tonywebb123

@@tonywebb123There’s always one Debbie Downer isn’t there 😂

Go tell that to Nooblets or any other big RU-vidrs, they're doing the same videos they uploaded 7 years ago, at least Bey puts in 10 times the effort, kinda built different.@@tonywebb123

Thanks mate!! I really appreciate the kind comment!

Yeah, I’ve been playing the game for 7 odd years and I never knew that. It’s so helpful.

Awesome, thank you! :D

Haha, thanks mate!

Thanks! :)

No problem! Thanks! :)

Thanks mate!

Thanks! No problem!

Thanks man!

I did contemplate if that would work or not, i'm surprised it even fits past the first section after the first room XD

@@BEYPlaysGames Yeah I didnt think it would work either, its a little buggy but suprisingly it works all the way there :D You can even build a ramp up for it to get up to the first section where the yellow drop is!

Haha that's crazy!@@HammerTroller

Damn, this gives me flashbacks 🥹...i did the exact same thing when thylacoleos came out, and cryos werent a thing..... in the ice cave on ragnarok for farming drops and deathworm horns. Damnnnn the flashbacks.

Thanks! :)

Thank you!! No problem! :)

I miss those too haha, Hopefully won't be long until we get them back! No problem! Thanks again!!

I was going to suggest a sarco for that same reason, but a bary is probably a better choice lol

Baryonyx*

Haha! Thanks! 😃i'm surprised I don't botch them all tbh! Appreciate the sub, thank you!

Thanks! :D

Those things murder in that cave, gotta love their hate for insects lol

Yeah it seems difficult to find certain saddle locations in this game, I've seen both Theri saddles and Yuty saddles in red land beacons, and a lot in the hard snow cave red drops...Hard snow cave seems to be best for both, but ofcourse that cave is really difficult to farm, If you could somehow breed a baby high level Yuty in the cave entrance and raise it there it could potentially be able to get you through the worst of the cave with it's fear roar! That cave is difficult without cryos!

XD

No problem!

He literally said everything you just wrote in the video lol...

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

lol did my run last night in redwood cave. Make sure your prepared at least a few masks. Arthys if they hit will break mask in one spit. Plenty of CP and chitin with toad. Water cave is deadly also basil is a must.

Can an megatherium Go into the cave?

@@tmfritz2112no but thyla can if u have cryofridge above

:(

Thanks! 🔥

😆

XD they don't call me Giraffe man for no reason! Haha.

@@BEYPlaysGames 🤣

Hey mate, yeah sorry, still never got around to making that video! Killing fish is still the best way! Also are you playing SP? Spawns are so messed up, when I started the game I saw like 5 Spinos down the middle river inbetween the Volcano and Redwoods and then I've barely seen any there since :(...Yeah it sounds like a nightmare! Go tame a giga for it :P

@@BEYPlaysGames No, no, I play official PVE. o: And God damn it, man, it's so annoying that their spawns are still attached to fish. -.- I did get one but sadly after ALL this time it was only 125 because the Island levels are FUCKING TRASH, but at least I can clear fish WAY faster with it than a Rex. >_> I really hate the island. -_-

Damn!! Yeah at least it'll be easier with a Spino! I was hoping they would alter the Island spawn levels being as it's a new game but nooope :(@@I_Love_Edgy_Waifus

Ooo, I would love to, maybe at some point! I haven't dove into any mods really yet! :D

I always get 3 but it depends what type of server you're playing, if Single Player that always happens :D

Hey, not OP, but I can help you out. Rarity *kind of* matters, but it's mostly just a general indicator of quality. Green -> Blue -> Purple -> Yellow -> Teal is how you usually get better quality loot, but it's not a super strict rule, and sometimes you can get, for example, Masterwork stuff that's better than some Ascendant. I suspect that this could be because several things are increased by better quality at once: DMG% on weapons and armor on armor, AND durability. Sometimes you can get higher quality equipment that has absolutely silly amounts of durability and not a huge amount of DMG% or armor, as if it was a wild dino with most of its points in not the best stats. Likewise, you could loot lower quality weapons with higher damage and not a lot of durability. Why this matters is because crafting & repair costs go up significantly the higher quality your items, and it's another reason why lower quality is sometimes better. Say, you're farming for saddles for your boss dinos. A 120 or 150 armor Ascendant blueprint is definitely much, MUCH better than something like a 80 armor Journeyman (contrary to what some people might tell you), but it also costs probably 4-5 the amount of materials to craft, and in reality, you could kill the alpha bosses with the 80 armor saddles as well, if you've bred and leveled your dinos well, so in this case, lower quality might actually be "better." Same goes for weapons/armor on a smaller scale, although I do usually like to craft the best Longneck/Pump-action Shotgun/Sword I can find, because they're one time things. Still, worth looking out for how the stats are spread between DMG/armor and durability. For armor, I like a lot of durability so it doesn't break instantly if I'm attacked, even if it absorbs a bit less damage. For weapons, it's pretty hit or miss, high DMG melee weapons and shotguns are great because use don't use them a lot, just in emergencies, and it's absolutely clutch if it does a ton of damage in a cinch. For longnecks, if you shoot a lot, you kinda want some balance, because durability is also nice to have, just not if you have to sacrifice a lot of damage for it. Anyway, sorry for the long-winded answer, but it was kind of a loaded question :D If you need any other help, just let me know.

Perfect answer right above so saves me answering in detail XD...my personal quick opinion...I always check the stats of the items, loot quality is very random, you can find Journeyman items that can be far better than Ascendant. So I always check the stats, durability is also an important factor for armour and weapons, not just the damage and armour rating, Ascendant items can be very expensive to craft, which is the downside to the higher quality but you can still find high quality journeyman and mastercraft items of the same quality of Ascendant and they will naturally be cheaper to make. So when you find items like that you know you're on to a winner :D

@@BEYPlaysGames Thank you Sensei 😇

What saddles were you looking for? anything in particular? Increasing loot quality won't increase the rarity, only the actual stats of the items like armour rating and damage for example :( gotta be careful with increasing it too much, I find that stupidly good blueprints always cost your entire life savings to craft them 🤣

@@BEYPlaysGames oh, I didn't know that. I have an ascended Therri, Daedon and Megatherium BP but can't seem to find a Yuty or Rex BP, not even a premade one. I've been running regular drops and the swamp cave. I don't even bother with the snow cave because it never spawns drops.

Sorry mate! I must have missed this reply, did you have any luck finding any after? Yuty saddles only really spawn in the hard snow cave and i'd say the most common spot for Rex saddles would actually be swamp cave red drops :)@@LtLost15

Damn that must have been a lucky find, i'm yet to find one yet! At least it's all in the same video hey haha, that was the cave crate I would have expected to see a fishing rod if any!

Thanks! Pretty sure Bug repellent only works with bugs XD...It's Cactus Broth that works with all wilds! Unless they changed it in ASA!

@@BEYPlaysGames No actually bug repellent works against the bats, spiders and centipedes but does NOT work against scorpions. Its even in the description of Bug repellant that it keeps bats away until you approach them too closely. Arthros, Onyc, Araneos :) For whatever reason the damn Pulmiscorpius arent affected by bug repellent which is a shame.

Sorry It's been a long day, and for some reason I read that you were on about hard snow cave and there was me thinking 'how does Bug Repellent work with PolarBears,Yeti's and Purlovias' hahaha@@SpeikobraRote Now i realize you're on about small snow cave on the side of the cliff, my bad! Now the Bug Repellent makes sense XD

@@BEYPlaysGames Ahh okay yeah misunderstanding there lol. Of course going in with bug repellent and stand next to a yeti wont do XD Was only talking about the other snow cave, which isnt called snow cave but i forgot the name lol, where only araneo, bats and death pits await you.

Yeah haha, my misunderstanding there! I was half asleep when I read the original comment ha! @@SpeikobraRote

Damn! What a drop!! XD

Official?

Good tip, Terror Birds are pretty decent in caves too, honestly don't think it will matter if you have an 80 plus armour saddle on whatever creature!

Every drop is different, not all red crates are the same, for example...you can find all those items in both underwater caves in the blue, yellow and red drops...whereas in most caves only the red crates will drop that type of loot, I do have a separate video posted in the pinned comment that show in detail what you can find in every drop in each cave/and every land beacon.

Hmmm, I can't say I've had that in Single Player! I'll let you know if I found out a solution!

@@BEYPlaysGames found the answer for anyone curious. You cannot upload and download items through supply crates and caches on single player mode. I was going bonkers trying to figure it out lol.

They were still bad when I checked a couple of weeks ago, still finding mostly apprentice stuff from them including Cloth gear XD so I never bother picking them up and just visit the underwater caves for loot

As in block the spawns by building in there?

They will have a small number next to their name! It will be a +1-8 as that's how many they can have in a pack.

@BEYPlaysGames thank you but is there any info on this I'd like to know what the actual buff is like damg increase or damg resistance .. also does it increase the more sharks in ya pack .. am I better taking 8 sharks out or is it same buff if just take 3 sharks out, thank you for replying

No problem, I don't think there is any evidence, on the ARK wiki page it just says about their bleed and being able to have up to 8 in a pack, i'll do some testing next time I get back to the game, let you know if their damage increases with more sharks and find out if they take less damage too.@@NottsLadG

@@BEYPlaysGames awesome ty yeh there my fav Dino but I can't get info .. cheers bud

How? Can't even fly in caves 🤣well unless you have that setting turned on ofcourse XD

Well when I tested the Deep Sea Loot ones the loot was terrible haha, they will probably update it at some point though, I was finding cloth armour in Deep Sea Loot crates XD

@@BEYPlaysGames oh no

Love dat Cloth armour🤣@@Crabbytron

I always just power through it, doesn't take very long with a pack of Meg's! I think it's way less riskier than trying to speed run through it with say a Dolphin or Diplocaulus :D, Caverns of Lost Faith is easier to speed run but Caverns of Lost Hope has so many nasty creatures spawning around the artifact for me so it would be extremely hard to swoop in for the artifact without getting swarmed!

around 45 minutes for most of them, Swamp Cave tends to respawn quicker though!

Yes it's more viable now, I still personally just take a frog because of CP! But when I made this video a Megatherium wasn't ideal as there's no Cryopods in the game at the time so only way to use one for the cave was to breed one in the entrance XD which isn't ideal for a lot of players haha.

I was using a Megatherium after Cryos were added but I went in there recently and where my Megatherium could fit through before, wouldn't fit through any more, after the first tunnel It wouldn't fit past the first left turn, when did you last run the cave? I was pretty shocked when it wouldn't fit :P

@BEYPlaysGames try rubbing yourself in the left side of the tunnels, usually do the trick

The thing is the alpha Mosa's get stuck in the cave easily and can't move so it can make them easy to skip or even kill if you have the time XD...I don't know, I swear the Dunkies in the cave have a much wider aggro radius than they do in ASE plus there's the rest of the stuff that you have to avoid, maybe if you are using something quick to avoid them? I just find it easier to brute force through everything with a pack of Megs :D

It's definitely a tough cave to run, what I did was breed a strong Yutyrannus in the cave entrance, can't run it quickly but it definitely makes it far easier XD...Yuty has pretty good access to most of the cave once inside!

Depends how strong your Basilo is and if the cave spawns are crazy like mine in the video XD

There's no Cryos so you'd have to breed a baby in there and even then it only has limited access to the cave!
