Caves on the Island - Easiest to Hardest - Which mount is best for each! Ark Basics

Hey how's it going everybody welcome to art basics a show we break down the ABCs of how to start an arc how to accomplish things how to achieve things how to be the best you possibly can be that's right we're going with the full ABCs of arc a for arc B for basic C for well whatever you want it to be C can be anything hey how's it going everybody welcome back to our basic I'm flinger foo and today we're not gonna be discussing the dinosaurs what we are gonna be a little bit we're going to be discussing some of the best ones for the different caves we're gonna be discussing the caves on the island map and which order you should be doing them and just the gear that you're gonna need for the caves because each cave is kind of different some of them are really close to the same but yeah we're gonna be discussing you know all the little nooks and crannies the ins and outs the bits and bobs all sorts of little things that you need to have for the cave and yeah in order to get through it and beat there but because some of them are extremely simple someone you can kind of walk through with just a Pike if you really wanted to some of them you have to do a lot of work just to be able to get inside of the cave yeah I'm not joking all right but hey so today we're gonna be teaming up with one of the better cave dinos that we've got the Baryonyx matter of fact the Baryonyx in my opinion is the best cave Dino that you can get for the majority of the case not all the caves just the majority of them but we're gonna be teaming up with this guy unless if I have to go grab a different one but um we're also going to be teaming up with super dodo now super dodo he kind of gets us around to wherever we need to go that's kind of good that's kind of gonna be his role did we got what I'm one of the things that you're gonna need if caves is on your menu you'd need a sickle you absolutely need a signal absolutely because of what I'm going to tell you next you need to carry fiber in your pocket at all times why are you doing caves it's one of the requirement things um and it just makes things easier I mean you can go in with all sorts of different armor you can go in with flak armor you can go in with tech armor you can go in with ghillie armor if you want but why would you um the only reason that you would want to go in with that stuff is really just for the looks because and yeah um artha plura are a thing in the caves big time thing so in with that regard the majority of what you need for inside the caves is carry some hide with you and carry some fiber with you so you can craft hide armor yeah that's like just the thing don't worry about um flak armor don't worry about any other armor just go with hide that's all you need fam simple set a height and this way here so where when it gets broken when it gets damaged it will protect you you know you can just instantly repair it on the fly in your inventory it's that simple it's that effective and it provides a hundred armor throughout the entire set I mean it's not a lot of armor but it's enough armor to allow you to take that first hit and then get away if you ever get just about it from your Dino or something yeah alright so with that in mind just always carry some hide with you always carry some fiber with you and yeah okay so hey I'm gonna go grab a few things out of my smoothie a few things that we need and then I'll cover those as we get to each individual cave alright so hey I'm going to grab a few things I'll see you guys in a bit all right so here we are we're at the very first cave now this cave is the easiest cave there is on the island this one is super simple and this is the one that you can actually run through with just a with just a pike um you and a couple buddies if you really wanted to you could go through it with a pike grab some hide armor and then just kind of just chill out but also another thing I want to recommend if you're getting serious about the caves is hold on let me put this on just where it's a little bit easier to see because I'll be going in and out of first person and you'll notice that I'm some of my pieces are you know apprentice some of them are ramshackle by this time if you're starting to look at doing caves then chances are you're gonna have some of this stuff in your mmm just kind of accumulated yeah and also this right here is also why I hold on to these higher level torches just in case if your server doesn't allow oh oh it doesn't allow gamma commands that's one of the best things and just get a higher equipment torch you know higher durability torch because I mean the the damage on it doesn't matter it's the durability when it comes around to ascendant torches and stuff like that someone I've seen it some torches durability up to like six seven hundred and those ones are amazing and you just repair this in your inventory they're really handy a lot of people's go like hey look I got it said to torch hahaha I like those I think torches are great and so yeah yeah but yeah always always always outside the caves when you start getting serious build a little shack just kind of like this it doesn't have to be big doesn't have to be extravagant doesn't have to be anything like that and then put inside it put a storage box inside that storage box use your storage box to hold all your artifacts any kind of building materials that you need and then also put a bed yeah it's that way there if you die inside the cave you can always just respawn right outside the cave run inside grab your stuff and then get the hay out of there all right but for this cave right here I'm the best Dino for this cave it's a Baryonyx you're gonna hear that a lot today the best came for this dump the best item for this cave is the Baryonyx now this right here is the first game that I would recommend doing and I will show that on the map right here it's way down there BAM this is the first cave this is right here yields the artifact of here let me pop it up right here I've got quite a few of them the artifact of the hunter pretty cool alright so hey let's head over to the next game because the next cave it's where he starts getting a little bit tougher alright and right here now we have the next game up beat down let's stack you right up here on top of this not like that but you want on this one right here you want to make sure that your dinos in a spot where it's not gonna get games while you're inside the cave all right but this cave right here this one right here this is the chitin cave this one right here if you want to harvest a whole ton of chitin this is where you go right here you'll notice that the volcano is right there and right over there is a metal mountain where you can just go harvest a whole bunch of metal now this cave right here um the recommended dinah for this the best Dino for this cave you guessed it the Baryonyx yeah and then this and right here it's there's a bunch of artha floors in there there's a bunch of bats everything like that and then this and I here yields the artifact of the clever now nothing's you don't need any really special gear or anything like that just the Baryonyx and some hide armor because there are artha pleura in there so just be wary about yeah okay so moving on to the next one alright now this cave right here this one is where it starts getting a little bit trickier starts getting a little bit tougher and once again the best um die no further out of this cave Baryonyx alright but now let's get in like this and let's go up like this now I would actually cover in this video how to get all the artifacts but if I did that then the video would be super long and I don't want it to be super long I'm gonna provide links to on how to get all the artifacts down below um because I've already run all these caves multiple multiple times in different videos and yeah each one of these has a little bit of kind of flair that needs to be done with it well most of them not all of them but each one has a little individual challenge that you need to overcome okay so for this cave right here once again Baryonyx best dino for it now at one point in time and they do keep kind of changing it while I'm still in Kalos get out of k mode alright so um this um cave right here they do keep kind of out changing it every once in a while is they will there's a spot in here that will everyone smile get kind of bugged out right now as you get down inside here you just cruise down underneath here and there's this little tiny opening and I've already been in here I already cleared it sort of be a little bit easier for me to get in and do this but see how the cliff edge or the how the cave wall is kind of brought in on itself this spot right up here is the little slip through spot right here now they keep widening this and then shortening this so where sometimes you can get um bigger dinos through it sometimes you can't right now it's actually I think this might be the end the way that they did it but baryonic slips through here just fine just quite easily that means Baryonyx is the best one now this one right here is also has a whole bunch of underwater stuff which Baryonyx just really excels at yeah and like I said I'm not gonna get through there I'm not gonna run all the way through each cave or else it'd take me forever and I don't want to have to take up too much of everybody's time I'll just leave links down below for all the how to get all the how to get all the artifacts out of the caves where if you're interested in that particular one you can just quickly go down below click the link and then BAM there you go that's how I went in and got all the artifacts for that one now this artifact right here here let me show you I have it right in here which I should yep right there BAM artifact to the pack okay and this one right here this cave right here um you can either do it just simply on a Baryonyx but if you do that you might want to bring an otter on your shoulder because you have to go through water if you do it on just the Dino and the water it gets really cold down there and unless you have really high fortitude or really good height armor then you might start taking some damage from that really cold water or you can also use a crossbow or a grappling hook to latch onto a certain spot hoist yourself up grab the artifact jump back down in the prana infested waters get back on your Baryonyx and it's all easy so good alright so hey um yeah this um came right here is actually where it starts getting a little bit tougher and then did I show this button on the map right there BAM all right oh hey let's get over to the next one okay now this next cave it might be a little bit more challenging as the last one was a little bit step up from the chitin cave this one right here is a massive step up and not because of the creatures inside it but because of the environmental dangers there is lava in this cave there is a ton of love in this cave and there's things that you have to jump over yeah or to avoid said lava now if you fall inside that lava you're dead it's just as simple as that you are dead um but there's also a bunch of cliffs that you have to jump across in order to uh seriously seriously you have got to be joking apparently there's t-rexes here that come down to start fighting bronto's right on my face bring here super dodo just kick this Rex's but come on dude thank you it's what you get man now are you gonna take off pronto you can let me finish my episode yeah if you come back super dose is gonna kick your butt man all right but this I came right here this is the game of the massive now also you might want to uh I'm take note that the hide armor you might have to start stripping it off in layers um as you come down inside of here because yeah right there it gets it starts getting super hot so you just start stripping it off yeah that were there you get it down to the hot make sure you have extra canteens with you let's get back to camera four BAM make sure you have extra canteens with you make sure that you've got extra food water everything like that because there are places in here where you're gonna overheat you're gonna get really hot you're gonna start taking damage and you're definitely definitely super dodo just create them I don't even want to mess them just take that bronto's bud alright um but yeah this I'm came right here it's pretty tough it can get really tough especially if you decide that you're going to run and jump across the oh the ledges for the lava don't do that don't run and jump across it just get to the edge of it and just press forward and jump yeah that way there you have a more controlled jump I show you how to do it in the video where I did it Thibodeaux get down here we got to go come on Cooper down up down air alright now this I'm Kay just um oh this cave right here this one yields the artifact of the massive oh and I left my door open I don't even know if I have any extra yeah right there BAM artifact of the massive right so yeah let's get over to the next one because the next one is where things get a little bit more challenging yeah alright now this cave right here this is the next one on the list and the next one they should be doing in order now this cave right here um you I brought the dinos here but you can't even bring dinos inside this cave they just will not fit um now it's not super cold up here unless it is but yeah I say that because yeah this sometimes it gets kind of chilly up here but also I don't normally use the stand block for going in getting the artifact you know with the bed and everything like that I use sleeping bags down here it's just so much easier and then that way there it it's just easier to get in there but inside this cave you have to duck down which means that no dinos are allowed to go in here now you can come in here with say like a longneck or something of the sort I would recommend when you come in here and just grab a shotgun serious you can bring an attack rifle you can bring an assault rifle just grab a shotgun it's so much easier alright and we're back now we're at the next game now this is the next one after the game of the skylord now this one right here and this son takes a big jump and difficulty I mean you thought we were moving up really fast in the levels of difficulty from before now we're really moving up all right so now I'm what you need to do the best I know for this one is of course the Baryonyx just like most every other ones but um this right here you have to have a combination of scuba gear and ghillie gear let me get this up with gamma 4 all right now I'm here let me show you you actually have to let me pop on the Baryonyx real quick so we can get inside of here and you have to go this right here has toxic air let me preface that so now what we have to do we have to go with scuba tanks scuba gloves scuba foot gear ghillie I mean not not scuba gloves scuba fins all right with ghillie pants and ghillie gloves and that way there will make its wear when you pass this threshold right here you don't take any damage because normally here let me show you if we pop up just one piece of this we start taking damage and it's it's quite a bit of damage be right there three points per tick yeah and this right here is the combination to I'm just the magical combination of stuff so where you can get inside of here now with this I would make sure that if you go inside that cave bring a couple scuba tanks you're gonna need them alright bring it on bring several suits of armor for everything because this right here it actually gets pretty dang tough in there oh yeah alright let's put all this stuff back on alright and this right here this Swamp cave is located right there right here in the middle of the redwoods right in the middle of silac olio country yeah it's a bit challenging alright so hey now we're gonna head to one where the Baryonyx is not the favorite Dino I know right it's been a while alright so hey let me go grab the best Dino for that one and I will show you guys I'll see you guys in just a minute alright coming into this next game now I always Park my flier over here way over here on the other side even better I'll take a raft over sometimes you can actually take a file of Colio and you can just you can swim it if you really really wanted to but just know there are alphas in there alpha megalodons but anything around your argent or whatever flyer you bring over just game yeah just kill them now this right here is actually called the Karno and this right here it does get pretty challenging on the whole challenge for this one is the verticality of the cave if you fold down the game you're gonna die unless if you're on the thigh locally oh I thought that Colio can take the fall without a problem you can jump right down in the very middle of it here let me get over to the cave entrance there's some pretty cool-looking Argent's out here holy crap that is a nice looking argent all right okay but right here this is the entrance to this cave way up here in the very north east now when you come inside this cave the entrance is kind of hard to find actually I'm here let me cam it family right all you do is come down inside here and you see this little water puddle right here umm you sink down here inside of the water and you dip underneath this and just look right up to your right and there's this little spot right here that comes up and this is the entrance to the cave now also keep in mind with this cave you do have a little creepy crawlies the creep on the ceiling right there yeah yeah there's a mega lair meg Alania right up there waiting to pounce alright so hey let's get over to the next one the only reason why I classified this one a little bit harder than the one it up there okay good thank you but yeah the only reason why classified this was a little bit harder than the oh then the swamp cave is because of yeah you need to have a phallic olio then and that like a little it's a little bit harder to find that a berry on it though yeah I mean y-you can do it with say a saber tooth or I'm a dire wolf in there you can actually even take in a Baryonyx inside that cave it's just not the best one for Hey so hey now now after after we've done most of the caves we haven't done all the caves the entrances and which order in which you should do them for the land parts of the island now we're gonna start heading over to underwater because there's two underwater caves one of them a little bit harder than the other actually one a lot harder than the other but the underwater caves they're no joke and for those ones and while you can take in a very onyx for those I would just thoroughly not recommend taking in a Baryonyx for those caves um yeah for those rooms right there you need a totally different style of Dino because inside of there there is snide area there's eels all sorts of stuff so let's go over to our water pen and let's go grab our favorite dude for those alright at this point in the cave game you need to start putting away the hide armor from this point on we no longer need hide armor hide armor is no longer the recommended one that you want I would recommend tech armor for this stuff now the only reason why I recommend tech armor for this stuff is because tech armor actually works as a scuba tank if you don't have tech armor then I would recommend that you go with get your best scuba tank get out your scuba flippers all sorts of stuff like that and then so where we could start heading off into that now for this next little bit you don't mean while we do have a tech most and a tech MOS is really good it's not the best one for the underwater caves a good basilosaurus is the best dino for the underwater caves it will not see the tech most say it's good but it still has problems with being dismounting the writer whenever it gets shocked by the knight area or the snide area the jellyfish down inside the caves and there is a lot of them down there I'm a basilosaurus you never have to worry about that a basilosaurus you are completely insulated against the eels against the cnidaria against all that stuff so put away the most of for a little bit grab the basilosaurus and let's get down to the caves all right here we are right above the entrance to this first underwater cave now this place right here it gets pretty dangerous yeah there's plessy's and stuff down here lots of places there's two so's right outside of the humm cave there's Megalodon stirs alphabet glow dogs there's alpha to souls there's all sorts of stuff just know that when you're on your uh basilosaurus getting inside the cave yeah you'll take a little bit of damage from coming down inside but once you skirt past that you won't take any damage and then you'll just be able to raise up inside of the cave without taking too much damage it's actually it's it's pretty easy it may be a little intimidating once you go down inside there but just realize that yeah once you pass down through the interest of the cave you're not going to take any damage just try to just scoot along the bottom right and let's get back outside and I'll show you exactly where the interest this is let's have to gank this big little very fast there you go suck it dude all right let's get down here and we're gonna start taking a little bit of damage because we're down on the bottom and then let's go straight up here really quick this is also the benefit of the vast loads that they can actually do that not everything in the water can do that all right now right here this right here is the entrance to the of the very first underwater cave and also another reason why I recommend people take tech armor underneath the uh oh the ocean is because see how it is like this yeah it's and then here let me pop this helmet off and we're gonna start drowning you're per sec right when you zoom in like this it's still real murky you can barely see you can drown but as soon as you put this helmet on as long as you have element inside the helmet BAM you can see clearly underwater it is wicked cool it's better than the scuba mask it's better than just about anything yeah there's there's mods that can get this close but tech armor will do it just as well it's amazing tech armor underwater it's it's the best way to write just know that these caves down there they're no joke I when I go down there normally yeah you can take down a regular basilosaurus but I would recommend taking down a fully imprinted raise that basilosaurus there it's easier it's more effective and is that an alpha shark right there that is an alpha shark all right so hey we're going to try to scoop past him maybe a gram on this lead sink this while he tries to hacker us and yeah all right so let's get over to the next cave because the next one is underwater as well all right now this next cave while the last one was pretty tough this one ramps it up to 11 this one is much much harder but it's not nearly as deep all you do is come right down here right here let me punch it up on the map BAM way over there while the one is on the exact opposite side the island this one is on this side right over the edge of the swamp actually if you find the swamp you can come down dip down go under enter the cave just kind of circle your way through like that yeah you'll start taking a little bit of damage on your basilosaurus but it's not gonna be that much but in this cave right here one the biggest words of warning I can give you is pay very close attention to where you're fighting because there are a ton of dung Clio's Dunkley ostriches in there that will once you amber them they will just not stop their unrelenting they will just eat you and eat you and eat you until there is no more left to eat you and they will block you in and then will make you have a bad day and it's just really really bad so make sure you don't a grow the dung Clio's in there or else yeah and also they there could be alphas in there alpha two shows and alpha Moses which are they're tough they're they're not a joke at all those guys will kick your butt right quick but yeah this this cave right here is actually tough enough for me to want to put a bed and everything like that right there just with an additional Baryonyx right next to this or I can run down and then my underwater dyno if I accidentally died in there it has happened from time to time yeah that one's a bit tough alright so hey now let's now that we've got all these covered there's only one cave left that we need to talk about and that one right there is the toughest cave in art it is the one that you want to save for the last it is wicked tongue and I know I'm not counting the the tech cave because that cave right there that's an end game fight the entire thing it is just for end game fight so we're just talking about the ones that yield artifacts the tech cave does not yield artifacts so we're not gonna be including that one but technically that one is after this Dex cave alright so hey let me get back to the water pin let me grab super dodo and then we're gonna head over and we're gonna go to the last and final cave the one that always seems to kick my bucket alright and here you have it the most difficult cave on the island this one right here is so tough it kicks my butt all the time and before the inclusion of extinction expansion it made this one so so much more difficult because see all this yeah I actually had to raise up an imprint Allosaurus is just to bring them inside of here in order to do this cave solo this cave right here kicks my butt on a routine basis yeah you'll notice there's wolves inside of here all sorts of tough stuff inside here I'm not even sure flying dinos are still in here there they are there's some bears let me get out of here right quick but yeah I saw some of my Dino that my dinos might have died in there holy crap Wow yeah um inside there before you actually had to clear the area with the shotgun with grenades with rocket launchers just so where you had enough time to get in there get some your Allosaurus is raised up and then kicked our butt yeah and then go through the cave with just Allosaurus it yeah but now that you actually have access to pokeballs both the cryo orbs and then it's not as hard you can just grab a cryo orb throw a couple owl sources in a couple of them go inside there throw them down and then everything could be yeah Bob's your uncle all right but yeah now right up here this is where this cave is located and while I will admit that with the invention of the cry orb then this cave got a little bit less difficult it is still the most difficult in there um you have to have not just regular um fur armor you have to have increased Durham effectiveness um for armor you have to have I would say I wouldn't go in there with less than a full suit of at least journeyman 4 armor and an otter on my shoulders just so where you don't freeze to death in certain spots it gets that cold plus there's also Pirlo via in there that'll knock you off your dinosaurs it's it's not good it's bad it's tough and this is called the came of the strong yeah for a reason alright so hey that's gonna do it for this episode now um yeah hey if you liked the video if it helped you out if it helped you uh decide which order you want to do the caves in i apprec-- just give me a thumbs up down below I really appreciate that and if you're new around here subscribe and until next time this is Phil your foo take it easy everybody and just now when you're ready to go into the caves you'll know it you'll know it
