Best Ark Stories?

[DeadJukez | TTV]

My best Ark story is when I tamed my first giga. I was with a friend, and we were on the back of a quetz. We were on the border of the snow biome, and there were argys around. We were shooting loads of tranq darts and arrows, and then an argy started attacking us. We fell off, and it killed me, my friend, and my perfect tame 300 speed pteranodon. I used my battle pteranodon to fly back, and the giga was somehow knocked out in the river with only half torpor remaining. Then an hour later (kibble tame) we had a giga! We never ended up using it
Now yours

Omg lol the exact same thing happened to me, except i survived with a broken limb. I had been tranqing it for awhile before the argie knocked me off......the giga ran at me and there was nothing i could do but continue shooting....just as it got near it turned tail and ran! (this was just after they added the flee mechanic) i tried to whistle for my quetzal as i could hardly move and was expecting it to come back at any second....i kept spamming j but for some reason the quetzal wasnt coming...thats when i realised it was stuck right between two trees just wide enough for its head to stick through the middle. at that point i figured the giga was going to come back eat the quetzal then finish me off. I said my goodbyes to the kibble i had stored inside the quetzals smithy, but still i hobbled towards the quetzal eating frantically hoping it would restore my hp enough to get my speed back, after what seemed like an eternity i reached the tree and chopped it down....this is when i realised why the giga hadnt come for me yet, a pack of sabers had showed up just in time to distract the giga after it fled. Once the giga killed the sabers the corpses attracted the same argie that had knocked me off in the first place..... which was now flying around fighting with the giga. Completely amazed at the fact i just survived all that i jumped on the quetzal and got back to tranqing the giga....and yes the tame was a success lol

Mine is modded, but still cool. I had just found an elite dimorph, and was super excited to tame it. Then, out of nowhere, the psycho dodorex thing jumped out from behind a tree and ate us both.

I was on official 63 and there was a tribe on death island called the iron legion. They requested me and my tribe to join the and we did. The iron legion turned out to be a bunch of paranoid freaks, so we left their tribe. They destroyed our old base for mats that we spent weeks on. We were able to rebuild it within one night and after that things got bad. The iron legion harassed us and stole our beloved phiomia :( whenever we got close to them while they were taming something they would threaten us. Finally we got a turret but because of that they attacked and raided us. And thats how i started playing unofficial :D

Lesson: Don't place turrets until you have 30

My neighbor choo choo messages me that he's taming an Argi, I fly over to see how it's going. And he's got it handled pretty well. Put up a wall of spikes just like I showed him.
So he asks me to stang guard for like 10 minutes while he's AFK. While I'm standing there I was fooling arounf with the Lazer pointer attachment to my pistol, and it somehow fires at the unconscious Argi I'm supposed to be guarding, so I force feed the Argi some meat to help regen it's health so Choo Choo doesn't notice. I hope he doesn't question the missing meat...
Anyways as I was watching it, some shirtless guy climbs up the rocks, knocks choo choo unconscious, I jump on my argi, pick him up and he yells to out to let him down. instead of just killing him, I set him on the beach, and warn him not to come near us. He climbs right back up like he owns the place, and I set him down on the beach again. He's really mad, looks at my name and runs off saying hell get me for that.
I'm not sure if he's a threat or was serous, but I go back to taming. A few minutes later I hear a shot, and think my bird was hit with a bullet, I don't think I'm damaged, so I fly towords the shot and see Chronic King (Alpha tribe guy) and a quetzel, and the shirtless guy with a gun I have no idea who he is but I try to reason with them, obviously he not some level 2 newb like I though he was. I fly right up to him and apologize for what I did (even though he attacked us and I was polite about it) and took out my spyglass to read his name. He's Big Mert. Pretty much the the bigshot on the Alpha tribe of the island. He owns carno island. We're cool now I explained I though he was just a lv2 bob, but man if I did kill him or retaliate I could consider myself marked for death and blacklisted.

I tamed a Beelzebufo named Ozarka painted her, went into the swamp and Jumped ontop of a tree and got stuck.. It was fun

[EdgeLord Doofengandur]

i me and my freurf went to tame an argie (on the other side of the island on a pvpve server) we got it down and a guy nearby helped with prime for it then when it got tamed out my freuf wanted to fly it back but i wanted to take it on our ship to keep it safe when he was halfway there flying on his own he got it shot dead by the alpha tribe ... he dosnt play anymore

So one day a friend and I were playing Ark and just expanding our base. While building someone from a nearby tribe asked us to come out of our base and they would give us metal. Obviously they were lying so I equipped myself with a longneck and some bullets and nothing else and went out. I didn't see anyone outside at first but then from behind I was picked up by a Ptery. I started shooting it but it didn't go down before we got to their base and I was tranqed. They put handcuffs on me and locked me in a cage, shooting me with tranqs every now and then to feed me and give me water. They were trying to hold me ransom so my friend would pay them metal for my release. Eventually they left me for long enough for me to die.

I woke up and continued building the base but an hour or so later they came back, demanding metal or they would blow up our base. Due to our base being off the side of a cliff, we had some pillars supporting it on one side and just for fun my friend and I had added some ceilings on those pillars and a trapdoor door to get down to the basement.

This was when I found the basement had a use, I took all of our metal and other useful resources and put them in a chest in the basement. The basement wasn't big enough to stand in so my friend and I had to prone. We closed the trapdoor and soon after we heard many explosions from above, but they never found us. We waited around five minutes after the explosions and gunfire finished to make sure it was safe, then demolished the side of the basement, took all the valuable resources including at least 5000 metal (my friend and I buffed lots of carry weight when levelling) and ran away to build another base far away from that tribe.

It feels good that they wasted so many resources on exploding our base for nothing in return xD

For me, the most memorable were the times I had to tame something all night long, in the dark, with only low level weapons for defense and a campfire. Every grunt and groan that passed by had me spinning around looking in every direction while also trying to stay on top of the taming work at hand. That was utterly fantastic because of the fear factor and not knowing what was going to jump from the edges of the campfire light radius.

So I was on an unofficial server, 100x all and heavily modded. I got off my Dominus dodowyvern to collect from the bags left behind by the 6 alpha rexes that the dodowyvern had slaughtered. While I was doing that, a prime giga came over and attacked me. I shot it with my insta-knockout rifle, to no effect. It chased me, and just as it was about to kill me, my alpha allosaurus came over and attacked it. They were evenly matched for the most part, but my alpha allo killed the prime giga, with a sliver of hp remaining. Then the alpha allo died from burning.

She died a hero.

I had just joined a new server and gotten into my first tribe. Loved everybody we recruited, really funny people with great humor. We had fun every day. I had a tribemember named George W. Kush who left me a nice gift while I was offline, so I went immediately to download that American flag paint job for the argy and got him a level 9000, named it Freedom Fries. He loved that bird so much. Best experience I've had with other players on Ark.

Private Server H.o.W:
We had recently started off in a new world, the island. We started our home base at the coast.

We had Dodo's, Many Dodo's. Cute little guys :) Learning the tight ropes working our way up slowly while seeing all the beautiful dino's, we also gaze upon falling star's & giant sky scraping mountains. Learning our way's through peaceful methods, only to learn more of the survival need's and requirments, putting up a fight is sometimes a must. For on that raft was 3 Humanoids ready to plunder. We get closer as a falling star fall's toward's the island in the horizen. Kissing land, "Ahoy!" To the falling star we go. Bushes rattle, a tail moves. Sarco beast to change our plans! It wobbles towards us as we look into the beasts mouth. "Back to the raft!" To the raft we go and out to sea, was it our mistake? The giant beast known as a Sarco rushes into the waters. Faster we shout as the Sarco gains. "Faster!" No water or spear we fear would slow this beast. Grasping the spears in our hands, throwing rock's hoping it'll scram. Surely enough, the beast reaches the raft. Stabby, stabby, lefty, righty, we fight together to hold off the Sarco. Screaming and panicing, we didn't know what was to come. We lost a Dodo that day. That day, we knew what our gods wanted, to warship the almighty Dodo as our sacrificial offering towards all mighty beasts acorss these lands.

I spent my first full week of ark keeping to myself on the peninsula at the footpaw. I was so scared to venture anywhere. I just built my little base and ran away from anything that wasn't a dodo or a parasaur.

It was such a magical time. I miss that feeling sometimes.

But, at least I can tame dilos now that I'm 1k hours in... (Kidding. XD)
