How to Get Mutations in ASA | Breeding & Stacking Mutations COMPLETE GUIDE ► Ark Survival Ascended

ah mutations everybody's favorite subject in Arc survival ascended now one thing you might not have known is that mutations in ascended are very different from mutations in survival evolved now you might be asking why is that if you get yourself a pair of tech binoculars right over here and you hold this out and you aim at a dinosaur you will see the stats of a dinosaur on the right inside and you will see there are three different measurements of every single stat in the previous game there was only two take note of the health over here the health is 152 and then in Brackets there's a 14 a Zer and a zero what do these numbers mean the 14 is the 14 out of its level 75 that got assigned to the health stat much like every dinosaur in the game every dinosaur's level is segmented by how many of those levels get like put into different stats so like all 75 14 of them went into Health 10 of them went into stamina 18 of them went into food 10 into weight 12 into oxygen and 10 into melee damage as you can tell and if you add all of those up it equals level 75 but why are there two zeros to the right of that what do those mean now one of those stat counters is actually for the level ups that you put into a dinosaur for example on this dodo if I go ahead and I put one stat just one point into Health you'll see its Health goes up by a percentage of its original amount in this case this dodo over here has 15 levels into HP and now you can see it has a one in the very final slot which is the stat that we put in for example if I put like another four in here the final number will be five because it now has five extra stats leveled up stats that we've put into it and these stats are affected by the percentage of the 15 that was shown before it but what is the zero in the middle the zero in the middle is now your new mutations counter your mutations will no longer go onto the 15 where you see the 15 is over here in the previous game in survival evolved when you got stat mutation that 15 would have gone up to 17 instead in this game mutations are separate this will stay 15 it's based at will stay 15 the zero will then become the two for the mutation because the mutation always occurs in twos and then the final number is the level ups that you apply to the dinosaur which will actually be taken from the mutations as well as the base stat of the dinosaur so the 15 plus the two will be affected by the level ups that you put in now while this might sound quite confus using this actually opens up a lot of opportunities in the game so in front of us we have two T-Rexes a male and a female neither of these have mutations they can be whatever level you want it does not matter mutations can be braded individually independent of the stats you don't have to have the perfect HP the perfect melee just yet now to keep things simple let's talk about just the health stat here you can see I've made an imaginary Health stat this male has 10 stat points into HP zero mutations and zero level up and the female has five points into HP zero mutations and zero points into level UPS so these have not been leveled up they are in their purest based form now this male and this female makes a T-Rex baby now this male baby has a health stat of five which is the lower Health stat it's the one from the Mom it's not the 10 but that doesn't matter because we're breeding mutations here you can see here instead of a zero we have a two here which is a mutation it will also have a color effect like one of the colors of its body will also change color but the more important thing to note here is that this two is going to affect the HP so the HP is now going to act as a seven instead of a five now what you want to do in this case is actually bring the mom down here you should also know that you can in fact breed with any female T-Rex doesn't have to just be the mom could be more as long as those females don't have mutations already and you're going to now breed the sun with the mom and this is very very similar to how we used to breed in survival evolv is where you use the males to pass on the mutations rather than the female because the female can only breed once at a time the male can breed with plenty females at a time terms of the game and from this point you're going to breed the son with the mom and they're going to make a new baby again you're going to focus on having male babies and you can see this one has now had a double up mutation on its Health mutation so this requires that first off that this mutation be braid down on the two and then another mutation stacks on top of the baby going from two to plus two making it four it is very possible that you can get a baby with just a two mutation or even the mom's mutation set which is just a zero so you can either get the four the two or the zero in the mutation slot we're aiming for the four and then like you did before you're going to bring the mother down and you're going to breed with the new Sun essentially you're going to keep doing this until that mutation counter is as high as you want it to go I think the I'm not sure if it has a new cap in this game but you can probably go up to 244 but like I said I don't know if there's a new limit or not 244 plus the original base set I'm not sure if it adds up to more than that because you can you can get some ridiculous numbers in this case so let's say for in sake we breed like a couple more a couple more times a bunch more times and at this point our male baby dinosaur has a health stat of five mutation Health stat of 78 and level UPS zero because we haven't leveled up now this acts as a 78 + 5 which is 83 its Health stat technically would act as if it had 83 points into HP which gives it a ton of HP it's going to be several times bigger than its original dead and most likely its colors will be completely different from what the base parents were because of all these mutations okay so this is great in all and that's a ton of mutations but this is all based off a five on the original Health isn't this like a waste of time no not at all so now you're in late game and you've tamed a Max Level T-Rex so it's 150 tamed at at level 225 let's say you got 225 on two different T-Rexes one is female and one is male now again looking at only the HP stat now let's say for interest sake that this male has a 50 HP stat and the female has a 38 stats into HP clearly the male one has a higher stat now what you're going to do from this point onwards is breede these two until you find the highest base stat the first stat over here the 38 and the 50 you want the 50 to be on the baby so we're going to breed these two down and you're also going to want to make sure it has the highest melee damage the highest stamina all of the highest stats that you want and now we get a female with a health stat of 50 which you got from the male and maybe it has the best weight stamina and melee damage as well let's say this is the perfect pair with the best Bas stats that you could possibly get on a T-Rex that you've tamed and you've tamed hundreds of them now at this point we're going to go ahead and go to that baby the one that has the mutation Stacks over here and we're going to go ahead and move it here and we're going to breed this one with the the new female with a very high HP now this was the melee baby with a ton of mutation stacks and if you recall it had a HP stat of five and it had 78 mutations into it and its mutation counter is at 78 now you're going to breed these two together and you can actually then get a new baby which can end up with the health stat of 50 and the mutation stack of 78 you can pass across mutations to other T-Rexes with different stats the mutation now is like a a separate thing that you can mutate the same how you can do with colors colors are no longer linked to mutations you can breed the colors respect irrespective of whether the mutation carries AC Cross or not and this can now be male or female and this is perfectly ready for boss fights so if you think about it this is actually an easier system because you don't have to hope that your perfect pair is constantly breeding mutations you can breed your male over here with tons of different females as long as the females do not have mutations on them you can keep breeding this male and keep getting better males until you eventually can then pass it onto a dinosaur that has a natural high base stat and PS your mutation counter onto that so that you get the best of both worlds so you can have the 50 HP and the 78 and of course this is going to act like a 128 points into HP which makes this a god T-Rex it's going to have a very very very high Health pool so I hope this information helps you understand a bit more how mutations work in survival ascended it can be a little bit tough to grasp it's it's a lot of information to take if take in especially if you didn't understand how the old games mutations worked this is actually a nicer more lenient system allows people to get mutations a lot easier which is also a scary thing but but if done right you can do boss fights and everything a lot quicker if you do have any questions leave them down in the comments down below I do reply to every single comment and I will try help you if I can if you feel like I've left out any information regarding this game please let me know because this is still a new game I don't entirely gross all of the changes just yet so if you feel like there is some information you can add here maybe a different method let me know in the comments down below and thank you so much for watching
