first time beating broodmother solo lost all gear

[Tins]

gutted by this bug

Did you go in on foot, with no tames?

That's a thing I've seen people do in videos, but they usually use a jumping mount like a bufo (toad) or a procoptodon (kangaroo) and jump up to the sides of the area where the mushrooms are. And more importantly where the broodmother and it's spawns can't reach them.

Never seen anyone running around on foot. Sounds like a death sentence.

I brought in 19 rexes, and a yuty. Whole things was over in a few minutes. One rex lost about 3000+ health. High bred and mutation stacked rexes with a very high saddle. (300.8 armor).

I heared that there´s a bug that make you loose all gear when teleporting back, but I never thought that this is still a problem, sorry man this must suck.
But I also read that this can be prevented by putting your stuff in a dino inventory - just for next time.

If by solo you mean single player, you can use creative mode to get your gear back. If the game took it from you by no fault of your own then I think it's fair that it should give it back.

I went in with 10 tames 3 trikes 2 parac 1 megacerium 1 kangaroo some others cant remember what. Mostly dinos i wanted to get rid of. It was on easy mode, it was a test run as first time trying a boss fight. ascended shotty did most of the damage to be fair. difficulty set to 1 all other stats default. It was great fun regardless

Its a well know bug (totally nuts ) i rolled my world back by a few hours so will go in heavy next time.

First time getting this far. currently breeding ready for the fights

i will make a back up save file each time i fight a boss now.

roll on the tek grams ( didn't even get any element as it took everything off me :P)

thanks for the info :) Survive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Good move. There are just too many issues with ark, where things go horribly wrong with no explanation. The higher your tames get, and the more you invest in high quality saddles, the worse the sting will be if you lose it all. The 300.8 armor rex saddles all came from a blueprint I found. I had to make all of them, and they were NOT cheap.

Ya thats one of those "funny" bugs that have been around since release. I remember beating her back on Island(all those years ago) and had the same bug. I wonder if you still lose all gear after finishing the tek cave.

I also know that too well, the whole material gathering for the saddles can take days just that your dino launches itself into the air by going too fast downhill and fall into a lava pit.

Not to mention that the saddle only gets a random bonus based on your crafting skill so that not every saddle is good as the others and you have to make a few more.

Just mindwipe your highest level character and put all of your points in crafting skill for the highest chances for a good bonus, but you should have infinite mindwipe enabled in the start settings.

Making a new survivor only takes time for levels from xp, chibi, ascending, notes and runes, plus of you´re really going to play with one you need more than just crafting skill, so it´s more effective to just mindwipe, caft and mindwipe again.
