all you peeps make it look so weasy it took me over 8 hours becasue of stupid mistake like carrying in artifacts int ocaves then fallingt in LAva or down endless holes. It took me forever to hit the right spot with the grappling hook in the swamp cave Iactually died twice while in there . allos are great I tamed 3 was going for one but it ran off so while chasing after it ther where two stuck together so I tranqed them then the 1st one cam,e back so I tranq and tamed it also . I still am not sure where to put all the stats on the Pteranodon I messed it up I tried 3 different ones to get the right stats points I got the the monkey king and realized I forgot the artifact of the pack had to fly all the way back to get it lots of stupid mistakes . but on a good note this is the first time I actually legit beat the island . I am just going to continue to scorched I learn allot from watch your videos if all goes well it wont take me months to beat the game of course it is only gma but stil it is hard

Island run have so much problems:

1. Ice cave - i found solution for run
2. water caves you can swim across ... but not so much chances to get artifacts without dinos ... cnidaria + electroforuses = shit
3. Dragon can give you problems
4. Some random ark shit

Scorched much more easy - but start on Sc Earth much more harder and you need wywern talons

On Aberration only one fight with Rockwell hard as all run solo.

ice cave I had no real issues the first Ice cave I died a few times because of jumping wrong hehe dragon I run into more problems with the birds sometimes 1 hitting me also if I have more then one dino I can use the other dino to attract so I can have less chance of dying. oh crap right I need the talons on scorched . aberration is going to be very hard for me I watched how you did aberration all I can say is Wow

replayed Island took me just over 6 hours but again some mistakes but two things happened one I died in the carno island cave when I went ot go back my body was glitched into the floor next to the artifact . then again Idied in the lava cave a few times because of jumping into lava, but the final death was fighting the overseers dragon my rex died. I had a spino but I couldnt get it into the tek cave . Isort of got lucky again because Ihad a bed at the tek cave with all of my gear I also had a bed next to red forest ( black sands area which also had a forgew and avil that was smelting so I just ran down the mountain with my gear tamed another rex the funny thing is that I couldnt find any rexes at all I found a allo but it took off when I tried to tranq it but I find allot of spinos so I tamed one of those but again I couldnt get it into the tek cave. when Iwas in the tek cave Iwas stunned by a stupid microrapter tha t Ididnt see and my rex fol,lowed nto the lava so again I ended up diedding and had to redo do the grabbing gear making new flak and find another rex but this time I found two so I tamed both took them both int othe cave made quick work of the overseer I am going to do it again today

grr again the carno island cave glitched when I fell and died my character couldn't be grabbed my time was reasonable I only had 3 more caves after that one and I was just over 2,5 hours which is great for me I probably would have died in the swamp cave because I always die in there trying to grapple the right spot and die of poison or what ever it is also I discovered to my dismay that force eating doesn't do any good at all

What stuff you have for caves? Grappling Hooks? May be you use any dino? I think that Megatherium is ultimately great creature for caves in Island.

What your strat? Guns or Taming? I prefer guns because it required constant amount of time. Taming depends on luck so much maybe ... i do not tested Taming strat yet in full time run.
