I Survived 10 Days in ARK: My First Real Attempt to Beat the Game

This is my story of surviving 10 real-life days in ARK: Survival Ascended — with zero prior experience. From taming my first dinosaur, building (and rebuilding) bases, exploring terrifying caves, and eventually preparing for the boss fight… this was a rollercoaster.

I went from not knowing how to get water into my base to crafting cryopods, breeding an army of T-rexes, and building a giant wall just to stop wild dinos from wrecking my progress. Along the way, I discovered how valuable airdrops are (basically gambling), crafted insane gear, built a new home, and dove into the scary unknown that is the ocean.

And of course, I learned the hard way that this game does not forgive mistakes.

This is the full journey — the grind, the chaos, the pain, the progress… and the attempt to take down a boss in just 10 days.

Rust is a multiplayer-only video game, Rust pits players against each other in a harsh, open world environment with the sole goal of survival. Animals, such as wolves and bears, act as a looming threat, but the primary danger comes from other players.

When beginning, a player only has a rock and a torch. The rock can cut down trees and break apart stones. Cloth and food can be gathered by killing animals; mining provides stone, metal ore, and sulfur ore; and chopping down trees provides wood.] To survive in the world, the player must gather resources and use them to craft tools, weapons, and other gear.] To craft items, the player must have a sufficient amount of all required materials, with advanced items needing more obscure components scattered around the map.
