How to Breed & Stack Mutations Quick Guide - ARK Survival Evolved

mutations they're without question one of the most fundamental mechanics in arc not least because of the huge advantages they can provide in creature stats unless we forget add a cheeky new colour to them but for a wealth of players they are overlooked perhaps because it can be a complicated system to understand but should be imprinted into every single player and especially so now with the introduction of mutagen so old or new to arc follow me as we break down how to provide mutations and more importantly ensure you keep mutating your creatures [Music] so let's start with the basics and it's simply summed up as time time time regardless of the creature you want to mutate you want to ensure you have the best possible stats to begin with first by stats we of course mean the variety of points a creature possesses per level and it's important you understand this before mutating with each tamed creature they will hold a variety of hidden stat points that make up each stat defined more easily by the level of the creature an example to make is a 120 dino will hold 119 stat points each defining its health stamina oxygen food weight melee and movement speed a guide for taming and stat point calculations could be worth a video of its own however fine will overlook that and simply advise tame as many max creatures as you possibly can and certainly go check out dodo decks to help calculating both stats and timing requirements link in the description with most creatures you're of course looking for health and melee first and foremost but certainly don't overlook stamina a game changing stat in certain scenarios depending on your creature of course so keep on taming and once you've had enough keep on taming until you're confident you have the very best health creature the very best melee creature and possibly stamina creature for this guide and to keep it simple we'll stick with just health and melee for now picking out the best creature in both and using one of the go-to creatures for mutations nowadays the shadow main ode to my most recent vote and a fantastic choice at that for all around arching now before we begin mutating we can up to include a little boost for our creature stats by feeding the mutagen however you will need a lot and can only be farmed on gem part 2 which i've got a guide for and i'll leave a link in the description once fed its desired amount of mutagen your creature will improve its stats and can indeed be bred to babies however only tamed creatures can apply the mutagen stats so this is really your only time to use it bread creatures can be fed mutagen as well but will not carry these stats further once done your objective note is to breed your best stat creatures together to combine the best stats from both which can and will take a long while you have a 55 chance of inheriting the strongest out of each parent and with six stats is entirely possible to get the very best stat of each but it may take a good while to do so now remembering that stat points define levels with each baby it's very easy to determine if you have a winner by its level and even more you might get lucky and get their wasted stat points hidden in movement speed or oxygen to improve a particular stat even further meaning you could get an offspring that's better than your best timed health creature for example and this will be your first goal breeding breeding and breeding until you have both a female and male with identical stats each carrying the best health and melee from their parents throughout this stage always make sure your babies don't have a mutation whilst it may be great to get one so early on it will affect your mutation stage so keep these to one side to maybe breeding later on now you've obtained your perfect clean stat breeding pair discard any others that got you to this point keep them or otherwise but you certainly don't want to include them for the mutation stage and we're finally here mutating and very simply defined by the creature's patrolinical and matrilineal lines simply their dad and mom lines each with a mutation limit of up to 20 however it's entirely possible to surpass that 20 limit and here's how begin of course breeding your perfect breeding pair until eventually you obtain a mutation it's common that your first mutation won't have an apparent color mutation to set it apart but you can easily identify if one has by its level with each mutation your creature will improve by two levels with of course more stat points rolled hopefully into the stat of choice as we are aiming for health and melee mutations any other mutations will be discarded as it will get more and more difficult the further you mutate but once achieved make it easier on yourself and make sure it's within a male and now we're simply going to breed that mutated male back to the perfect mums weird i know but to ensure we can mutate beyond 20 mutations the most important thing is to keep all mutations on only one parent line and with males able to breed with multiple females it will be much easier to use mutated males and your clean females you can't up to do this the other way mined mutated females to the clean male and you likely will as when breeding the mutated male back to the mums you have a chance of either getting the mom stats with now an unnecessary mutation and mutated female to breathe back to the clean dad or eventually hopefully another mutation and with each mutation once again you have a chance of it being the one you want as well as the occasion of it mutating again but sadly with the clean pair and stats and the further you mutate the harder it becomes to get the mutated parent stats as the point difference between that and the clean parent gets further and further away you may give up and just breed mutations with mutations but once capped in 20 on both sides you aren't able to mutate further the only way to do this is ensuring mutations are kept on one line only offering you an infinite opportunity to mutate your creatures to not only some fantastic wonderful colours but possibly some of the best stats out there and surely making you a force to reckon with thanks all for tuning in i hope you enjoyed this if you did comment below let me know i really did spend a long time to make sure this was one of the most comprehensive but quick and easy guys to follow so i hope it was i hope it was received well thanks all for tuning in my name's ross clark don't forget to like share and subscribe and as always peace out [Music] you
