What is the best tame for running caves in Ark: Survival Ascended

Arc survivalist ended is here and with it Crow pods are removed meaning you can no longer bring big dinos inside caves and you have to walk them in through the entrance now we're going to go over what dinos can be brought through what cave entrances and figure out which ones are best well that was the Redwood cave and as you can see it has a very tight entrance me not a whole lot of creatures can fit in these are the creatures that can starting off the author plura the arano the Sabertooth the gigantacus the direwolf Terror bird Moss chops megaloceros bezel buo Raptor capros suchas and The Equis for now I I am going to refer to all these creatures as these small creatures and we'll have them listed in the description all these creatures will take you two in from of the artifact in this cave with no problems at all one cool thing about the bzy buo is anytime you harvest a bug with it it turns it directly into cementing paste and with the sheer number of bugs in this cave you run this and you'll have a ton of cementing paste afterwards the bionic also fits in this cave and is likely the best option because the AR spit is too low and will not be able to hit you meaning your armor will not break and in this cave that's important cuz you don't want your gas mask breaking I do want to mention there's a strategy that a lot of players use and that's raising phas inside the caves because it can't fit through the entrance when it's fully grown if you bring it in as a baby and leave it in this area and raise it in this area you are able to use it inside the cave freely just keep it in this area here and it will be safe next is the snow cave this has the artifact of the strong all the small creatures as listed before work here as well as the Barry onics will now be able to fit through the entrance of this cave using the same method as mentioned before you are able to bring a baby thila in past the cave entrance and raise it inside the lobby of the cave though I want to mention that after I had logged off overnight and logged back in My Tho that I had left in the cave became glitched inside the wall real quick I want to mention it will not be covering the skylord cave as is a Crouch cave and you cannot bring any mounts inside there as the brute cave or the cunning cave as those are both underwater caves next up is the clever cave this cave can fit all the small creatures as well as the bionic and Megalosaurus and you can raise a thla inside this cave as we talked about before also you could raise the megatherium in here and that works perfectly well too just know it has to be brought in as a baby past the entrance and will not be able to leave once it's fully grown but but it's safe in this area there's no enemies that spawn here yet next is the artifact of the hunter this cave is pretty easy again small creatures all will work in here as well as a bar Onyx will also fit for this cave I don't recommend using the thila just because you have to take an alternate route to get it to the artifact and the size is it's it's pretty small you have to raise it pretty far in it's going to get attacked it's not worth it this is a pat cave all small creatures will be able to in in the cave and to the artifact however not all them will be able to get you out of the Cave Bear with me and let me explain now as you make your way through the cave you're going to reach this point here and you're going to be greeted with this big old open room what you can do is you can take your tame and jump down to the bottom of this pit here do make sure you Dismount your T before you hit the ground in order to avoid taking fall damage there is a path to the bottom but only four tames are able to make it through this path because of the two choke points that lay along it this is one that you're looking at right now the second one is a little bit further down that's why I said all creatures can take you to the artifact is just that not all of them will be able to get you back because in order to get back to the entrance they have to climb this path and this is the second choke point right here these are the four dinos that can get you in and out it' be the Raptor the Areno terror bird and direwolf all the other creatures won't be able to even the small ones these are the only four there the lava cave the artifact back to the massive and for this you're going to want a team that can jump so we have all the teams that can fit in the cave and that can jump starting off with the bionic the N bird gicus megaloceros Sabertooth Raptor Bey buo and the Wolf the tholo does work but once again you have to raise it inside the cave as it will not fit past the entrance and right up here is reason why you need a team that can jump failure to do so we'll put you in that lava and that does not look fun finally is the artifact of the Devour the caral island cave for this cave it's all the same tames as the massive except the thila you don't want to use the thyle on this one even if you raise it in you have to raise it too far for it to be worth it like the massive cave this cave also has jumps which is why you want all the same tames that work for the massive cave as you want this cave finally I went into single player and I spawned every Dino in at level one to figure out their base HP as well as their DPS to figure out their DPS I hit a training dummy for 10 seconds and took the number that gave me and divid it by 10 for some reason all these DPS numbers are very high I'm not sure why that is you're not going to be hitting like this like normal but it still is going to give you a good idea of the difference between the damage of the different tames starting off with the thler has a base health of 700 with a DPS of 350 but it main drawback is the fact that it cannot enter caves next is the bionx with a health of 440 and a DPS of 285 a lot of people love this G and I totally get it I would recommend it myself the gigantic picus is really good instead of having a saddle it wears a helmet so you can put a FL helmet on if you have a really good blueprint it provides really really good armor and it's really solid the only negative of this guy is it can't get out of the pack cave meaning each time you want to run this cave and get this artifact you have to return back to the pit room and use a grapple hook to get to the top leaving a g thickest down below left for dead and that brings me to the these three the Raptor direwolf and ter bird they're all awesome options because they can enter and exit all of the caves with the Raptor having 200 base HP with 226 DPS direwolf with 330 HP 386 DPS and the terror bird with 270 HP and 204 DPS the wolf seems like it has the best numbers although it cannot wear a saddle and A Primitive saddle alone has about 50% damage reduction the teror bird and Raptor both can have Saddles meaning they take 50% less damage even with a primitive saddle meing it's just really hard to recommend the direwolf you have to rely on a m boosted pack and that's just not feasible for everyone that was a lot of information so let's just do a quick recap if you want a team that can go in every cave I'd recommend either the terror bird Raptor or direwolf direwolf would not be my Top Choice just because of its lack of Saddle to me the thila is just not worth it I don't want to go through the hassle of breeding a whole bunch of thila in a whole bunch of different caves just not worth it to me any of the creatures that work for the massive cave are going to be really solid creatures because they can jump they're able to do both the massive cave as well as a Devourer cave most of them are small which means that they can do all the other caves as well they just might not be able to get out of the pack cave and if that's not a big deal to you I'd say choose any of those and you'll be solid I personally I'm going to be going for the Barry Onyx just because I don't mind breeding an extra one each time I run the pat cave and it runs everything else great thank you for watching if you had any questions leave a comment I'll get back to you we'll try and make sense of it have a great day
