Breeding & Mutations Explained - Ark: Survival Ascended

welcome everyone I'm going to try to explain mutations to you using these rexes H in preparation for a boss fight so step one tame a bunch of rexes these are all wild straight tamed uh anywhere from level 130 to 150 in the wild first thing you're going to do is check all their stats you're going to go through each single each one of these rexes and you're going to log the stats in a database uh Excel sheet a piece of paper a napkin it doesn't matter just keep a record of their stats for the purposes of this video we are just going to deal with health stamina weight and melee for a boss fight you should probably only really have to worry about health and melee because you will more than likely be riding on a uter ranus okay your next step you're going to want to name these dinos based off the highest stat that they have um and make sure it's logged in your spreadsheet now you have a trade-off here you can either keep Tam wild dinos to get higher stats like say you wanted to higher Health like 10,000 plus Health uh or you can breed the mutations in either way we're good we have two females here one male we are going to breed all of these together until we have a breeding pair a male and a female that have the highest stats that we have l so we're just going to continue to breed pick up the eggs continuously hatch them until I wouldn't wait don't don't gather up 100 eggs and then do it all at once this on official servers this takes a lot of time so you're going to want to hatch the eggs and as soon as you get one and mature it to they can let's say you have one that has the weight and the melee then you're going to want to substitute hopefully hopefully it's a female um substitute it in uh bring it up raise it and then you can start breeding and getting more dinos and increase your chances so in the end you want a male and a female pair that have the highest stats possible in the categories you're aiming for and again if we're doing boss fights on the island uh and you're doing rexes for that you will more than likely be riding at uter ranus and the only stats you really need to care about are melee and health okay now we have a male and a female pair that have the highest stats of what we were looking for so Health melee salmon and weight all their stats match what we were striving for earlier you're going to breed these two together until you wind up with with a whole bunch of females now you can do whatever you want with all the extras um us for me personally I uh delivered them all over to a sanctuary on the other side of the island as I stated earlier this was already here when I got here I don't know where any of this came from but next is the fun part this is where you're going to take this male and he gets to smash all of these females and you're going to do that repeatedly until you get get one with a mutation in the stats that you want once you have the whole pack breeding you can set this up however you want this is just an example un official you're not going to want to just have one batch of these going especially if you're in a really large tribe you're probably going to want more than one male and you're going to take up a lot of landscape a lot of real estate in order to do a breeding operation especially with official rates because it takes forever so you're going to collect all the eggs up and you're going to bring them to somewhere else completely different than where you're I've already kind of whittel these down so you can see it but once these hatch you're going to be looking for a 252 on the lever that will signify that you have a mutation now they all start running and as you can see here we don't have one looking around we have no 252s so what do we do the reason why they're running by the way is cuz they have a dead body back here um so since there's no 252s do what you want but the best way to do it and to level up your dinosaurs is to just get rid of them kill them all there's no reason to keep them around you need the meat anyway if you can get past the glitchiness of being able to harvest bodies that has come with this new game or this new version of arkc uh then you'll be all right but go ahead kill everything clear it out and keep going until you get a 252 okay once you have a 252 as you can see here you need to get it away from the group so we got lucky there we're able to imprint it is a male and then you look at the stats Health matches the original melee we have our mutation in melee so if you wanted to keep I I personally uh prefer to do my mutations in health first because if you're doing boss dinos um there's a process you have to do at the you know they want to level them up you can do mutations all the way until they're able to fight the bosses and that's fine if that's what you want to do I personally like to get the mutations in health so that I don't have to level up Health at all because once you level up Health these dudes um take a lot before they're fully healed and since we're only on the island in uh survival ascended we don't have um snow owls you could use a data on uh but personally I prefer to just get the mutations and health but for the purposes of this video again our original melee stat was 469 as you see here this melee here is 483 if you go to ancestors you will see here that he has one mutation and we know what it is because we know what the stats are so melee we got two points in melee that gives us 483 so what do we do now well it's time to plug this guy into the mix and remove him you can keep him going if you want but you already have the mutation and if you're unofficial it takes a long time for these uh breeding counters to uh count down so that the females are able to breed again so disable mating remove him from the group and again there's no cryopods so when whatever system you have set up to do your breeding you're going to want to make sure that the male is able to be removed and put back in easily personally I like to keep these but since there is no dyo storage right now with any dinos that you have out you need to make sure they're fed and you need to make sure they're protected keep that in mind so this one we are going to name him M boy M1 that shows me that I have one mutation in melee and then we are going to update our spreadsheet our napkin or paper just like this and then moving forward you're going to continue to breed him until you see another mutation which the next level would be 254 okay we got M1 in the pack now he's pumping out babies we have a handful of a we're get a hatch right now and M1 was a 252 so if there is a mutation on one of these we are looking for a 254 so once these hatch we're going to do the same thing look for 254 another way to tell for mutation is look for colors that is also very handy here they go 254 we have one right there granted it's very tricky to get to the one you want here we go and you're looking at the stats that mutated so you have health 9680 did not mutate stamina 2394 it did not mutate and we have weight 940 that's what we got our mutation in so we have one mutation in weight if we wanted to use the weight mutation we would keep this and name this guy M1 W1 granted that is my preference y'all can do whatever you want we do have another 254 in here so we're going to get him out of there go ahead and punch these dudes that should get them running where are you 254 did I lose them I'm looking at the numbers make sure you have plenty of space when you do this by the way okay I don't really care if you follows me um I prefer to do this in an enclosed area that way when they run off like this they they don't get too far so this one we got a 9680 2394 and stamina melee for 483 and weight 940 so that's another weight mutation I did not see any others and that is fine right so we're going to keep on trying till we get another one we finally have a 254 look at this handsome fella his mutation is in health so the the main stat before the base stat was 9,680 point2 we are now at one I'm sorry 10,120 point2 so we're going to update that in our spreadsheet and we're going to name this fella actually double check cuz he could have got a double mutation you want to make sure his melee damage is also the the mutated stat too all right since it is we're going to rename this one H1 M1 and this just allows us to track which ones have the current state of mutations and of course we're going to enter this into the spreadsheet and plug this one in remove him do whatever you want with it and that'll be it and you're going to keep this going and going and going as long as you want now two things to note when you go to the ancestors you have your uh mutations here um once you sorry let me go back in here uh you have you have two out of 20 and zero out of 20 as long as one of these is under 20 doesn't matter which one you can get a mutation now once one of them is full which you're going to have all the mutations pretty much over here on the uh patrilineal side even if the you you'll start seeing like one one mutation on your uh matenal side but then it's always in the father so yeah it'll anyway the most you'll ever going to see on Match lineal if you do it this way is one mutation maybe two if you get a double but keep breeding or keep the mutations in the males and leave the the females as your base stats just keep plugging them in keep breeding um keep in mind the server cap you're going to want to keep an eye on that um I'm not sure what it is AR survival ascended um but there is more in-depth ways to make super dinos that's where you take level five wild rexes tame as many as you can and you're looking for I want to say one I think it's one one stat of oxygen so uh the lowest oxygen the lowest food and uh I think there's a hidden stat for Speed as well which you can use tools like dodo decks and punch those stats in uh to see what those numbers actually are it'll tell you what's wasted in speed but you can lower the oxygen stats the food stats and the uh speed stats even the weight uh whatever you want um to make it so that you get more mutations and health and melee which is really what matters when it comes to boss dinos but that's going to do it uh that covers the basics and should get you guys well on the way to having a nice Squad of Boss dinos I hope you enjoyed
