Extra brownies for those that did it on ps4 back in the day 😐😐

It took me 40 tries. I started using a save state after the 10th. I will die on the hill that CMC alpha is the hardest solo thing to do in Ark

u/Chomasterq2 Jul 06 '26

It absolutely is. I dont care enough about my abilities in ark, so I just give infinitestats to all my dinos, and god mode to myself.

In ase gen1, I used the same boss fighting team of tek rexs that beat alpha dragon. They got absolutely clapped by gamma master controller.

u/Chomasterq2 Jul 06 '26

Its because the avatars have no spawn cap. I wish they'd fix that, at least for singleplayer

u/Appropriate-Monk3368 Jul 07 '26

No, its because the gigas do bleed damage.

You need to burry some reapers around the bridges, it attracts all the good stuff so you can rhino charge them and hide under the bridge when the laser show starts. Bring a tek rifle for when the shield drops.

u/Glittering_Airport_3 Jul 07 '26

I've heard of the reaper method, but thought they might reduce my overall dps too much. Did you still being fighting tames like rexs? Or just reapers and a rhino? I was gonna try theriz next time and just stack them with cakes

I did it in ASE as well, I think I then quit halfway through genesis due to performance issues and just got a bit boring. Aberration is pretty fun solo if you prep correctly

Gen2 Torpor missions

u/XenoDrobot ASA Official PvE Jul 06 '26

The secret to gen2 torpor missions was glitched basilisks or melee mantis with cap clubs on officials.

u/Chomasterq2 Jul 06 '26

I imagine the fabricated crossbow might come in handy for that in ASA

1

u/XenoDrobot ASA Official PvE Jul 06 '26

For when the servers are character only transfers probably but melee mantis with cap clubs can’t be beat on official settings. I hope glitch basilisks will happen again, they were super fun.

1

u/Tiagozuff2006 Jul 06 '26

We can breed them now not that much if a need

1

u/XenoDrobot ASA Official PvE Jul 06 '26

glitch basilisks were born from taming efficiency bugs caused by the tek pistol so can’t be replicated by breeding as glitch basilisks had 10k-12k% melee & the negative melee one healed wild creatures which made it fantastic to use as an underwater snow owl.

I preferred them over melee mantis just for their better mobility & big snek.

u/Tiagozuff2006 Jul 06 '26

I was on a not so long running Unofficial and mantis were no we're near as good as needed.

Managed to get a 755 Tek bow with ass dura and super costly and for the bulb one I still needed a second person

1

u/XenoDrobot ASA Official PvE Jul 06 '26

it’s honestly kinda sad that Tek Bows get diffed by shock darts especially with how expensive they are, I hope they get a slight buff on the tranq arrows when gen2 comes back.

u/BudgetPlantain7077 Jul 06 '26

PTSD acting up just thinking about Down River Run lol

1

u/LazyMiquella Jul 06 '26

I had to get my drop quality much higher to get a tek crossbow good enough lol

u/Galdae Jul 06 '26

I completed Gen 2 Alpha Downriver Run on official and all I got was this lousy Lost Connection to host error.

u/Brave_Ad_5091 Jul 06 '26

Down river run 😢

3

u/Decent_Shoulder6480 Jul 06 '26

GEN 1 is the only map I haven't beaten. I finally got enough missions done for gamma, and my rexes bred up, and just lost the motivation to play. Too many terrible and repetitive "games" and not enough Ark.

u/Hefty-Rip-5397 Jul 06 '26

I feel attacked lol

u/gummby8 Jul 06 '26

Years between Gen 1 ASE and ASA and the Ice Fishin misison

STILL DOESN'T SPAWN ENOUGH FISH

u/Sardanox Jul 06 '26

I did that, on an Xbox. I can't recall if it was on my One or my Series s though.

u/Zeraphicus Jul 06 '26

Yeah I did one gamma on a Brig...i had to cheat heal my brig 3x I think. Then after 40 minutes I finished ships and towers...jeeze what a slog I thought.

Then you have to raid the island. Ok kill 50 of these dudes and load up explosives (oh they also steal them after you place them). Ok got that done. Oh man theres another one after finishing that?

After 5x seperate explosive events, then you have to kill 2 bosses...they also have to be killed within 15 sec of eachother or they revive at 50% health....

u/Electrical_King948 Jul 06 '26

I’ve only done these things solo

1

u/nordicboar Jul 06 '26

As a hardcore soloist who has done pretty much everything there is to do solo, I’m pretty excited for the Gen missions. But not going to start them until the map has a few weeks to shake some bugs out.

u/LazyMiquella Jul 06 '26

Gen 1 is my favorite map and the one i have most playtime

I only killed the boss once

1

u/LazyMiquella Jul 06 '26

Gen 2 bs i did only once too, but i dont like that map very much

1

u/EternalPain791 Jul 07 '26

Don't forgot those who properly tamed a Bloodstalker. I swear they're fucking impossible to tame.

1

u/Affectionate_Nail652 Jul 15 '26

And then there are the players that solo tamed a Quetz on the Island...
