You are welcome to name structures that I should have a closer look at. :-)


On Alemia, crafting tools or weapons is a bit different than in vanilla ARK.
Here you have to follow the steps below:
(1) Melt your ingots in the forge.
( simple Forge: Metal, Steel Ingots // Heavy Forge: Steel, Cobalt Ingots )
(2) Pour (craft) the ingots into tool heads / plates with the help of the forge.
(3) Now place the raw form on the anvil. (Similar as if you wanted to place a structure).
(4) Use the hammer and hit the form. (Like trying to harvest a resource, until the form breaks).
(5) With the form you get and more resources, you can now build your tool / weapon / armor on the correct table.


Unfortunately I can not bring a complete solution for the table. I have not found any instruction page for the table until today, either in the Singleplayer or as a dedicated Server.

My buddy and I spent a whole day with the table to figuring out the basics / placements and stopped with disappointed mood. We found out the following thing, maybe it will help someone:

For each element rune there are at least 2 possible placements on the table. However, it is pure randomness which one works. Each time a rune or armor is placed, everything is rolled again. So you can get an damaging or upgrading sound for the same placement!

Work in process.

Some biomes have a negative buff and are meant to bring a gradual level of difficulty to the game. (Similar to the map aberration.)
Here is an overview of where they appear and how to counteract the effect:

~~~ Entrance ~~~
76.5 / 39.9
~~~ Useful objects / animals ~~~
Dodo Rune, Archeopteryx (Glider for easy path), Torch, Ranged Weapon, Melee Weapon

~~~ Instructions ~~~
The Beach Dungeon is the easiest. There are no enemies, except for the boss room, and it is rather a small cave. The entrance tunnel has two short dives until you get into a large room with a metal gate and a ruin on the wall. The boss room is behind the metal gate.

To open the gate, you have to get to the top of the ruins. This is where the Archeopteryx can help us most easily. Straight ahead from the entrance, a long rock protrudes into the room. We can use it as a jumping ramp to glide to the other side. The corner is very dark, orient yourself at the end by a few glowing plants.

*** Little info about Archeopteryx ***
Gliding can be canceled with the "Reload" button (default setting "R").
Alternatively, the player can also get to the ruin on foot and with some jumps on the right wall side of the room. However, you get some minor fall damage here depending on how you do it.
(In the picture above a comparison of both ways)

If you have reached the lower balcony of the ruin on foot, or you fall from the upper floor there, you can open a small jump path to the upper floor by pressing the 2 buttons on the wall. This is time-limited and must be triggered again if necessary. At the top, 3 pillars are waiting for the player. You can activate any pillar, each one opens the metal gate. (tested in singleplayer, bug?) But keep the greatest possible distance, because the pillars not only open the gate it also trigger a hail of arrows! Now all you have to do is get down. Either use your Archeopteryx or try to jump straight into deeper water. But be careful! If you hit on shallow water, you'll get a bigger damage + "Bone Break Damage Buff" depending on the height of the fall.

I'm not sure if the gate is time limited or not. It happened in the singleplayer that it closed, but also just stayed open. (bug?) So I found the fastest and safest way for myself. Go to the end of the lower balcony and turn towards the water. (90° to the right) Now use the thick tile here as a guide and simply go straight ahead. Do not run or jump! Just drop yourself off the balcony and you should land safely in the water.


~~~ Boss room / fight ~~~

When the player gets into the boss room, some zombie dodos will greet him, but these can easily be bypassed because we have to get to the opposite side of the room. At the entrance, watch out for large stone slabs on the ground that trigger a hail of arrows. On the other side is the summoning staff into which the "Dodo Rune" must be inserted to summon the boss. This one will appear on a balcony above. But the important thing is the inconspicuous button on the wall behind the staff. This button is called "Soul Eater" and will be important in the battle.

The dodo boss will only stay on the balcony during the fight and will not be available for melee combat. His actions will alternate between creating a temporary protective shield that protects him from all damage, fountains of fire in the room that can cause fire damage, and spawning aggressive Phiomias.

The player must kill the Phiomias to collect their soul. Attention, when you kill a Phiomia it will cause an explosion after a short time which will give a "Burn-Buff" to nearby players. ("Burn-Buff" and "Soul-Buff" can be removed by deeper water) Also, nearby players as well as other creatures will be thrown away. The soul must now be brought to the wall button "Soul Eater" so that it triggers a hail of arrows at the boss. Attention, the boss only gets damage despite the hail of arrows if the protective shield is deactivated! Players can also shoot at the boss, but deal relatively less damage than a hail of arrows.


~~~ Additional info ~~~

• 
  In the fight against his minions, there are some stone pillars in the room, which, when activated, also trigger a hail of arrows at certain positions. These give weaker players or players who have no more ammo or only have broken weapons the chance to kill Minions.
  
• The boss room can be exited at any time.
  
• Boss life: approx. 36,000
  
• Minions lives can fluctuate greatly with each spawn.

~~~ Entrance ~~~
72.8 / 17.5
~~~ Useful objects / animals ~~~
Golem Rune, Earth Rune, 2 Torches, Archeopteryx with good lifepoints (Glider for easy path), Ranged Weapon, Melee Weapon, lots of healing potions / bandages and stamina potions, ...

~~~ Instructions ~~~

A basic overview of the dungeon.
• So far all doors seem to have a time limit. So think carefully about which ones you use. Many can be re-triggered if necessary.


~~~ Entrance room (Dilapidated library) ~~~

To enter the room, the player must apply an earth rune as a key. Once you enter the room, the player and animals get a water-debuff that drains life and blocks stamina regeneration. The longer you are exposed to the debuff, the higher the after-effect time increases.
The exit or entrance to the main hall is on the other side. However, the passage is closed and must first be opened with a wall button on the higher floor.
( Right balcony, yellow marker on sketch )

You can get to the upper floor with the help of the bookshelves. However, you must first open the secret shelf door to reveal the way up to the shelves.
( The secret shelf door + button, red marker on sketch. )

Before you press the button, you should use a torch and throw them on the ground or ask another player to light up the marked spot on the sketch. This area is very dark.
After climbing up the barrels in the secret room you now have 2 options to master the jumping course over the shelves. Either you jump yourself with the chance that you fall and have to start all over again or you take the slower but safer option with the Archeopteryx. You can see the way of the lower shelves in the sketch above.

*** Little info about Archeopteryx ***
Gliding can be canceled with the "Reload" button (default setting "R").
When you have reached the left balcony by climbing up the barrels, you must now follow the steps in the sketch above to get to the right balcony. For the people who glided up there with the Archi can now choose between 2 ways.
(1) Either directly through the room. But use the railing of the balcony.
(2) Or use the way with the fallen pillar.
After you press the wall button, you have a specific time until the gate closes.
