How to do a Legendary OSD in Ark Survival

 In this post, I will explain my strategy for doing legendary, or purple orbital supply drops SOLO in  Ark Survival Ascended. The same strategies will work in Ark Survival Evolved too.  You are not going to find cheesy strategies, and it's going to be longer than my normal post because it goes in depth, not because it is full of fluff to get more ad revenue.  Not only will you know what to do, you’ll know why it works and can apply these strategies in other ways in Ark.  If you take full advantage of strategies, it will be fairly easy after a bit of practice, but getting the carchars tamed, bred and leveled up is no easy feat, especially on official rates.  There is a reason these are called Legendary. 



Another reason they are legendary is the amount of loot you get.  Unlike the lesser drops, legendary drops never end unless you fail and the corrupted dinos break and OSD, or you go too far from it and it despawns. Dying while playing solo also ends the defense.   Starting at wave seven, you can end the defense, and only the corrupted dinos that have already spawned will give you trouble.  If you continue past this wave, the total amount of loot just keeps adding up and up, and it can be pretty amazing!  I think I have made it to wave 20, and then I just get bored and want to do something else. 

Stuff for Your Character

I don’t take anything for granted with these, because they can go sideways quickly, and if you die and you don’t have a partner, the defense will end, as it will if you go travel far from the drop. You don’t necessarily need all these things for your character, but it is good insurance.

-          Lots of food.  Food drops quickly in the wastelands, so bring at least three stacks of cooked meat, maybe more if you are going for as many waves as possible.

-          Medical brews. Even if you are on the back of a dino, king reapers can still poison you, and weird stuff happens like accidentally dismounting

-          Soups for heat.  Many spots in the wasteland are hot.  I bring cactus broth and calien soup to help with the heat.

-          Focal Chilli. If you find yourself on the ground, you can be in a lot of trouble.  By having taken focal chili, you will run away faster, which is especially good in ASA, where you can’t change your movement speed.

-          Lazarus chowder, which helps you regenerate your health faster.  I often get caught up in the action and forget to monitor my health, so the chowder helps with my ADHD. 

-          Armor. Bring a few sets of armor, the best ones you have to combat heat, which is usually the problem.  I usually wear ghillie armor to keep cool.  I also like to wear a tek chest piece so I can blast off to safety if I get caught on the ground.  I also wear tek boots because I will not take fall damage and hoping on and off carchars will cause a lot of damage to you! 

-          Gun, bring a gun to aggro stuck dinos and to have in an emergency, or if you get bored.

-          Metal Pick. I bring a pick if there is a pesky rock that gets in the way, usually not needed. 

 

Tames for OSD Defense

You won’t need them now, but at the end you will need some dinos with excellent weight stats.  I use three mutated Argies to haul the loot back.   I may not need 200 metal walls, but I can sure grind them for resources.   Also the defenses are great ways to get black pearls, which weigh a ton.

We will be running four Carchars, two males and two females, to take advantage of the mate boost buff; all are fully imprinted, which is important as well.  If you use four, make sure to have two males and two females. They will all have saddles of course, and we have some modest improvements to armor on most of these saddles.  The carchars have no mutations, but they are a combination of tamed individuals with great stats.  Two are fully leveled because these purple drops provide such great XP, and the other two are well on their way.  During the defense, I will change from carchar to carchar, getting them leveled up to 100 points into bloodrage so they are all doing maximum damage and have maximum healing.  This is important.  With the bloodrage at 100 the carchars will probably never need to be healed, and these high-level ones with good saddles and the buffs I will talk about are basically invincible.  At full blood rage damage and healing will be increased by 175%.

Then we will have two yutys, a male and female to provide a buff and debuff the smaller attackers.  Bring more if you want. On our server we have a mod that allows us to enable the autocourage roar you get in single player.  If you don’t have this available, you can still use yutys for their debuff by putting them on aggressive and on turret mode. Alternatively, you could ride a yuty most of the time and manually use the courage roar, but I would get bored.  I use yutys as a storage unit for collecting black pearls and other resources from the corrupted creature corpses.  They also work as a good distraction for some of the attacking creatures, since they will attack the yutys before the OSD.  Admittedly, these two yutys of mine and their saddles are pretty great, but if you have lesser ones and the ability to switch out new yutys between waves, then that might be a good option, or you might heal them with daedons or snow owls.  Another thing you can use the yutys for is a sort of leash for your dinos.  Hop on the back of a yuty and have some of your dinos follow it.  When you hop off be sure to put the yuty on turret mode because riding a dino automatically cancels turret mode.  Now your dinos will come back home near the OSD and do a better job of defending it with less management on your part. 

If your creatures are not quite leveled up yet, you may have to cut a few of these OSD defenses short and fight again another day until your dinos get enough xp and have the combination of health and melee you want.

Ok you have found a legendary OSD and you want to attack first thing is start deploying your dinos, especially if your server has cryosickness, if it doesn’t you can hold off and just use one to munch up all the troublesome wild dinos in the area.  Most of these OSD defenses are going to have three to four attack routes that the corrupted creatures are going to come to.  I place spiked walls at some of these attack routes.  I set these spike walls up not to stop the attack, but to slow it down.  That way my small army will not get to overwhelmed, and it will give the carchars time to naturally heal.  I would bring 20-30 spike walls when you are out looking for and set them up in the routes that approach the OSD.  Don’t get too close to the OSD or you will trigger the start of the defense.  Depending on your settings the spike walls may damage your tamed dinos, so be sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t get stuck and slowly die on a wall. 

The spike walls' main function is to slow the creatures down, but they do serve other functions as well.  They will cause damage to the corrupted creatures before they get to your army at the drop, sometimes they will even kill Trikes and Carnos.  Second, they will cause some to never stop attacking the spike walls.  These corrupted creatures seem to have a timer before they despawn, so if they are stuck fighting the wall for a long time, they sometimes disappear, like their enraged corrupted Rex does.  Third, typically, the last few corrupted dinos in a wave will be happily engaged in attacking the spike wall.  This will give you time to do inventory management, move black pearls, corrupted hearts, or other resources you need from the carchars to the yutys and dump the rest.  You want to keep the inventories of the Carchars fairly clear so they are picking up resources, tributes and treasure maps from the corpses they eat.    If you need to heal, deploy a snow owl or a daedon.  Also, with all that XP coming in, level up your creatures.  Make sure your character is fed and hydrated and is not overheating, it is easy to forget in all the excitement.  When you are ready, go kill off the dinos and begin the next round. 

Back to getting started, when you have your spike walls set, deploy your creatures, or if you have cryosickness, you should have started before you set up the walls.  When you get close to the OSD it will trigger the defense, and you only have a little while until the shield goes up, and about two minutes before it goes down, and all hell breaks loose.   If you have your group charge into the supply drop and get the yutys set up if you are using yutys. Set them just out of the way, so they don’t get attacked too much.  Here I set them up with the rock behind them so they won’t be attacked from behind, and they will not be hit when corrupted dinos are biting the OSD.  I set them to turret mode and then enable autocourge roar.  They also need to be set to aggressive! This causes them to fear roar nearby creatures; none of them will run away, but they will take more damage while affected.  They will also take a little less damage because they will attack other creatures that come nearby instead of waiting to be hit. 

If you were quick to set up your yutys, you may have time to put some spike walls around the OSD.  I don’t do this because I will get bored before the corrupted creatures actually break the drop, and my dinos are going to take a lot of damage from them.  This run goes through wave 10 and the ODS takes about 10k damage, leaving it 90k health, which is plenty of buffer for me. 

Now the fun comes, get on the back of Carchar and wait for the shield to drop.  Wave zero is upon us; it is really one of the worst waves, as you can get quickly overwhelmed by so many corrupted creatures.  The other waves will be different because the spike walls will delay them more. 

Set up is key to the OSD defense, but now here are some random tips and point.

-          A change in ASA is that they added these circles to the last remain dinos in a wave, because dinos can get stuck on the terrain, in rocks or blocked by a cliff.  Also rock drakes can be invisible or reapers buried.  You still need to be in the general area to see them.  Unfortunately, this wasn’t changed in ASE.  

-          Just a reminder not to wander too far from the OSD, you don’t want it to despawn

-          If an Enraged Corrupted Rex has made it to the dino army whistle everyone to attack it first.  The enraged corrupted creatures are alphas, so they do a lot of damage, and they give a buff to the other corrupted creatures.  You want to take them out as fast as possible.  They are also a bit of wild card.  I have been attacked by as many as four at a time and with about 140k health each it a real battle, that could kill all your dinos especially if they start off with low health.  So if your creature get to half health quit, don’t take a chance on this happening in the next wave.  This one reason you don’t mess around with these legendary drops and to deploy the spike walls! The good news is the enraged corrupted rexes give an absolute ton of xp to you and your dinos. 

-          While doing inventory on the carchars I like to mount them first that way if something comes and attacks from nowhere I will be protected.  A level 500 enraged corrupted Rex or wyvern can kill a dismounted player quickly. 

-          Legendary drops are the best way to level up a chibi in the game.  You might be able to level on up in one defense

-          Sometimes, to mix it up, I will bring some op gigas, or even Velos in turret mode, just for fun.  It is a game, remember to have fun, but expect to lose some creatures. 

-          I haven’t tried the new Deinotherium, but a herd of these may have some merit.
