Desert Ruins 71.6 68.9 How to Raid it?

[RTX 5080 FE(Mr Happy)]

Hey all, got lucky enough to take that spot over, as a solo player, 1 way in and 1 way out, nothing bigger than a monkey or direwolf can get in without a tek teleporter.

There are zero videos on youtube of people raiding or defending this location.


It also takes no cave damage, so its perfect for a big tribe to take over the whole thing, or a solo/small tribe to claim the room inside the pillars.


I'd like to know how people would raid, as you cant really stand a gollem in from without it falling down, steggos would need to be dropped as well due to the ledge.


Not my video, but I am built on the right side of the temple. I want to see how people raid it, so I can plan to defend from that. Anybody have any videos? Thanks

I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.

main way to rain this spot is to push from the back, thats how i always raid it, push from the side opposite the river with golems, clearing out the temple area use trikes to try get thru or if its not as well defended rocket run. when you have the top part raided its easy af to raid where that titan is

What about undermeshing? Isn't that the main form of raiding on officials?

I dont keep up with how they do exploits, but I suppose that would work, I just want to see a video of that location being attacked and defended, so I can see where weaknesses are. But there are no videos, and its like hands down the best location for outpost or small tribes.

I got more defenses in the back, but I plan to have turrets wall to wall. A Trike wont fit through the pillars. I have some set to player only and some set to medium and low Rocket runs might work, but I hope to have a few dinos ready before they hit, to help hinder, either way, it will be fun, if I am online, to watch how it goes down

Raft + Cannons to take out all of the turrets then use rockets. Is this on official or modded?

Dont think that would reach the inside, it would hit the gate for sure, but you can just c4 that. I got no guns outside yet


But now that you mention that, I need to make water mines and pillar the river off. TY, this is the insight I want, ideas so I can figure out how to block

Can you get purlovias on scorched earth (it's been a long time since I've played se) and bury them there?
If they can't even get their dinos through there, and you have turrets aimed at their faces, the purlovias will remove any chance of rocket running.
Or how about you grow a wyvern there and have it on turret mode?
It just occured to me that you might be able to get raptors to work since they can pounce now if you don't have access to purlovias. You'd just need to find some way to position them so that they'll only pounce once the enemy is in range of the turrets. I'd try high ground for that.

This is from a pve player, so I have no idea how viable any of this is. Just throwing ideas.

Never tamed one, but the server has them, Its an unofficial server, slightly boosted rates, pretty damn populated at all hours, but they have the Abberation dinos all except the nameless and reaper. So I can try and find one to tame. Only bad thing is, a massive tribe is built in spitting distance from me, and they havent seen me here, but they have killed everybody around, a massive Asian Tribe from one of the Official servers on what they call R&R have been going server by server wiping ppl, lol

So my days are numbered, I just wanna put up the most epic fight a solo player can muster.

Uh oh, doesn't sound very good.
I heavily recommend gathering all stunning dinos you can and fitting them whereever you can near turrets to make the place as impossible to raid as possible.
The first things that come to mind are purlovias, raptors, and kentros.
How about those narco tripwire traps? Are those any good?
Or an arthropluera on agressive sitting hidden up on a wall to surprise destroy armor.
Are there automatic explosive tripwire traps? I think I remember som, but I'm not sure. Placing some in dark areas could prove to be both useful and funny.

You just told the whole world where your base is...And since you are not in the 123 cult...well j/k. I don't PvP. Good luck.

rip, easy to find.
30 people online on that server right now, including op.
Let's be real here though, the people on that server probably aren't looking at this.
Hopefully, anyway.

I never said the server I was on, is it that easy to find where I am? lol. Also I dont cry over raids, everybody gets wiped sooner or later, I just like to atleast watch my base fall, if I cant actually defend it lol. I try to learn from every experience. And when I play Ark, I look at it like a Tower Defense game

Battlemetrics allows search by player name. Thats what created the cult of 123.
