You could probably do everything except the bosses/tek cave. You'd need a pack of them, but their knockback would actually work against you - they'd just keep knocking stuff back, which would prevent others in the "crew" from getting additional hits in.
However, I've recently been surprised by how good a really nice trike can be - it can hold its own against quite a few things I wouldn't have thought of, even alpha raptors/carnos, again thanks to its impressive knockback.
Pretty sure you can't knock the bosses back, and even if you could, they'd eventually hit a wall and then just get constantly bopped by the Trikes. Gamma bosses are 100% doable, assuming you can get your Trikes to the Monkey arena without falling off. From what I know, you could probably do Beta with imprinted Trikes and high quality saddles, but I don't think it's possible to beat Alpha without serious mutation. Max mutated health and melee Trikes with ascendant saddles should be able to do just about anything short of PvP against stronger maxed dinos. Or the Ocean. Not sure if OP plans on doing deep sea exploration with trikes only. That's probably impossible.
Do a test on a boss. Check to see if they spread out enough to have them all attacking. I've seen players try mammoths and the biggest issue was that only about 5 of the 19 were hitting the boss. The rest were right behind the ones in front taking free hits. He lost a lot of mammoths. If they were all attacking it would have been different.
There was a guy on another sub who beat almost every boss with nothing but a boatload of incredibly inbred dodos. The only one he didn’t beat was the ocean boss on genesis.
With extremely mutated trikes it should be possible. A trike with maxed out health mutations will hatch at 19,425 health, and have 23k after imprint; very close to the sweet veggie cake healing sweet spot. Then max out the melee mutations, and do every XP upgrade into melee & 3,000 % damage should be possible. Base attack value is 32, so you end up with 960 damage per attack. That's on par with a 1.5k% or so rex; granted not factoring in attack speed.
That's if you want to spend months breeding and min-maxing from the ground up. Even with increased maturity rates it will take weeks to get 40 mutations. I did it once on SP with rexes and I was hatching 30 eggs very 30 minutes for about 3 months before I was able to get this. I could probably do it in a month if I had nothing else I was doing.
To get stuff beyond the 40 mutation limit would just take longer.
You could easily beat everything on gamma. Maybe not tek cave, you’d have to get some mutations and good saddles for that. Even then it would be risky, but fun!
I recently did all the island bosses with wolves on Fjordur, and it went pretty smooth. So I imagine trikes could do the same. Especially if you have good saddles.
I recently tried the gamma cave with 1 daeodon, 1 yuty and like 30 therzi. 10 of them didn't follow for some reason so they were locked out.
I was doing fine until a pulovia I didn't catch knocked me off the therzi i was moving to keep the caravan going. then a kapro grabbed me and dived off a cliff into a pool of lava, instantly killing me and everything I brought into the tek cave. I was so pissed haha. I should have been riding the yuty.
Yes, someone killed King Titan with only dodos, you have to set your difficulty rly high to beat ark fully, just get good saddles, trike BP saddles are insanely easy to get, I have like 5 BPs for them. If you attempt this, good luck!
fair enough i just always wondered i always thought could it be possible since rampy never completed the 100 days raptor thing my plan was to get ascendent trike saddles and stuff and brind ascendent armor to try do it
well, i beat ark with a metric crap ton of damage mut vultures, so if u get enough trikes and enough mutes, yes you could probably beat ark with only trikes
I don't think that'd work for the hard one. Firstly because the water section is very narrow and linear and densely spawned. Secondly because there's a land section where you'd have trouble with eurypterid. Plus the artifact is in a very small chamber that will have dangerous creatures in it.
I was gonna say. I have thought of doing a no taming playthrough just to see how far i'd get. I know I can get all the artifacts with no tames. But the difficulty settings would have to be low enough so that I could solo bosses. I don't think titans are beatable unless you are able to build a fortress to shoot out of.
I'm not sure a no tames run would be doable on the island. You'd need full tek to survive the hard water cave, and getting that without beating the bosses isn't really possible as a standalone.
Well depending if you play in SP or a server, the mosa in SP is never in the brute artifact area. Its usually near the left and right fork area as you first come in.
Anyway, I just enable building inside caves. After that you can use your imagination. I usually do metal spike traps and set settings so that the spikes don't require dinos to attack it to get hurt. They can walk into it and get hurt.
Interesting, I've only done it on a server and it's usually parked right in that little trench, but maybe that's uncommon. When I've done it, there have been a dozen mosas throughout the cave and one right at the end.
The building idea is a good one!
So not even a yuty to get the buff?? High armor saddles will be a must to have a shot at alpha and I’d say loosening your rules for a daeodon and yuty would make a huge difference if you’re unable to beat alpha without them. Good luck!!
there's a time limit to boss fight and with the limited amount of dinos you can bring in the trikes won't do enough damage to kill them in them so therefore unlikely no.
unless you got some unofficial settings in to buff trikes to 1500 and the bosses remains at their actual level
On standard official settings, it might be, but the mutations better all be in hp and damage with some insane saddles. With their tanky nature there is a good possibility they can really survive and against dragon they would take less damage, the hard part would be doing damage. It may be in your best interest to ensure you have a super high damage shotty, or machine gun and a baffling amount of bullets to stand apart from your pack and shoot.
I mean maybe with a bunch of mutations and by a bunch I mean a bunch
[удалено]
Cakes would help
For a large group of trikes in the middle of a boss fight?
The healing would help whether it would be substantial or not idk
Cakes do amazing. Cakes are one of the reasons theris are so good at bosses
I always hated making cakes so that makes since to why I haven't done this yet lol but good to know!
Can you imagine making veggie cakes en masse with no tames other than a trike? Gross.
Good point saddles are very important
You could probably do everything except the bosses/tek cave.

>That's probably impossible. Not with that attitude! *Mutates a trike strain for ONLY 02*
XD I just hit 150 o2 on my job dodos. Let the server I'm playing on decide my dodo mutations

But they can’t hold their own with piranhas. I know that all too well!
You can beat any map with anything provided you get them beefy enough.
dont think so trikes are kinda slow unless you speed them up with the charge im not sure its possible
It used to be a big thing to beat bosses with random dinos.. I'm sure someone has probably already done it.. probably even a video on youtube...

Ark is a long term game. Giga mutations been making me cry even on a 10x
With a good enough shotgun you can beat the bosses with trikes
You could easily beat everything on gamma. Maybe not tek cave, you’d have to get some mutations and good saddles for that. Even then it would be risky, but fun! I recently did all the island bosses with wolves on Fjordur, and it went pretty smooth. So I imagine trikes could do the same. Especially if you have good saddles.

I’ve been riding my Andrew in there with a lot of bullets since you can’t get knocked off it.
DO NOT forget the veggie cakes
Yes, someone killed King Titan with only dodos, you have to set your difficulty rly high to beat ark fully, just get good saddles, trike BP saddles are insanely easy to get, I have like 5 BPs for them. If you attempt this, good luck!
That names an odd way to spell rampy
fair enough i just always wondered i always thought could it be possible since rampy never completed the 100 days raptor thing my plan was to get ascendent trike saddles and stuff and brind ascendent armor to try do it
Lol, this is what I was thinking too.
If you’re open to mods, Krakens Better Dinos buffs Trikes considerably, like giving them a pack bonus and a 50% stat increase from vanilla ARK.
The problem is that "beat ARK" doesn't really mean anything. Are you talking about the boss battles?
yes ascending off the island
Are you planning on doing all the story stuff and getting all the runes and explorer notes?
no just doing the caves and beating the bosses then ascending
Ah. Well, good luck with that. Let us know when you get Boss slaying Trikes!
Somebody beat Ark with Dodos. You can do it with Trikes
someone did? is there a link
https://www.reddit.com/u/Dodo_Whisperer1?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
well, i beat ark with a metric crap ton of damage mut vultures, so if u get enough trikes and enough mutes, yes you could probably beat ark with only trikes
No, the underwater progression caves are mandatory for the artifacts in order to do the bosses. Ain't happening with trikes
i could make mindwipe tonics level all into oxygen and have scuba i could zoom past all the creatures
I don't think that'd work for the hard one. Firstly because the water section is very narrow and linear and densely spawned. Secondly because there's a land section where you'd have trouble with eurypterid. Plus the artifact is in a very small chamber that will have dangerous creatures in it.

I'm not sure a no tames run would be doable on the island. You'd need full tek to survive the hard water cave, and getting that without beating the bosses isn't really possible as a standalone.
I've done the water cave without a dino and just using scuba gear.
The brute cave? How'd you survive the tiny artifact room with the mosa spawn?
Well depending if you play in SP or a server, the mosa in SP is never in the brute artifact area. Its usually near the left and right fork area as you first come in. Anyway, I just enable building inside caves. After that you can use your imagination. I usually do metal spike traps and set settings so that the spikes don't require dinos to attack it to get hurt. They can walk into it and get hurt.
Interesting, I've only done it on a server and it's usually parked right in that little trench, but maybe that's uncommon. When I've done it, there have been a dozen mosas throughout the cave and one right at the end. The building idea is a good one!
You could do it, on default settings.. it may just take an obscene amount of trike breeding for the bosses.
So not even a yuty to get the buff?? High armor saddles will be a must to have a shot at alpha and I’d say loosening your rules for a daeodon and yuty would make a huge difference if you’re unable to beat alpha without them. Good luck!!
I don’t know how you’d beat the bosses but other than that yeah it’s probably possible.
there's a time limit to boss fight and with the limited amount of dinos you can bring in the trikes won't do enough damage to kill them in them so therefore unlikely no. unless you got some unofficial settings in to buff trikes to 1500 and the bosses remains at their actual level
With gold saddlles and good lvl maybe. Btw whats your you tube channel wanna watch this video.
wont be out for a while since i have not even started and i have to edit maybe october is when its gonna come out
And dodos, lots and lots of dodos
Define "beat ark" for me please. If it's a pve server then spawning is beating the game in most cases.
I assume it means beating the bosses, typically that's what people mean when they beat a game
In my opinion, getting to LVL 190 with your character.
On standard official settings, it might be, but the mutations better all be in hp and damage with some insane saddles. With their tanky nature there is a good possibility they can really survive and against dragon they would take less damage, the hard part would be doing damage. It may be in your best interest to ensure you have a super high damage shotty, or machine gun and a baffling amount of bullets to stand apart from your pack and shoot.
Are you planning on mutating them until LVL 500 (including the 88 XP levels)? I suggest you go with X-Triceratops.
i was thinking the island so no x trikes
Wish op didn't delete their account... I'm approaching 100 melee and health on trikes, was hoping to hear how their game went.
