I spawned in and immediately got harassed by a pegomastix as I was trying to gather resources... I punched this pego in the face and it had tamed instantly! I stood there shocked at what had just happened while my friends were laughing so hard about it all... To this day we all laugh about it still! Funny thing is... Not long after.. I did it again! Who knew punching in the face would give you a friend or two StylishGoldFish#5205 so im level 50 right, so I was exploring around my base with my ptera and found a male 145 rex terrorizing the local herbivores around 300-500 meters away from my base, so i was worried that if it continues it would stumble its way to my base so I took 2 cross bows and 130 tranq arrows and set out to tame the mf before it shits on me and my base or at least lead it farther away well I was prepared to die, but uhhhh turns out the rex fell unconsious and Im taming it up rn now wth am I supposed to do with this thing, I cant even ride it till level 72 😭😭 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/29ceeb00d79ba1e9c6d9e820f14f1e0dc388aec1.png Creator: Kiddas Kiddas tells us about Ark: Survival Evolved, as well as a quick beginners guide for anyone who is new to this jurassic world.
