Usada Pekora Puts Tribemate on Display After Base Break-In as ARK Halloween Begins

HOLOLIVE — Usada Pekora put a fellow player on display in a cage on Friday, accusing the tribemate of breaking into her base, during a stream of more than six hours on the Hololive ARK server. The stream, on the server’s 20th day, also marked the arrival of the game’s Halloween event.

Pekora said she had logged in to find the decorative skins peeled off her floors, something that happened, she said, every time one particular player visited. She said she already had a suspect in mind. After the Halloween creatures appeared, she caged the suspect while that player was asleep, posted a sign reading “Repent,” and asked Noel, who was working as the server’s photographer, to take pictures to be hung as a wanted poster in a photo gallery. When the player logged back in and found themselves locked up, they denied everything. Pekora replied that she had brought in a Halloween-themed Stegosaurus as an executioner, and Choco-sensei, a member of another tribe who arrived with a Tyrannosaurus, let it deal with the offender. Afterward Pekora told the player they could keep visiting, but should stop stripping the skins.

“They can come in if they want, but I wish they’d at least stop peeling the skins off.” — Usada Pekora, after the tribemate’s punishment

The rest of the evening went to the Halloween event. Pekora said that crafting the lantern that damages ghost-variant creatures takes 50 bones, which drop from skeleton variants, and she spent hours hunting stegosaurs and wyverns for them. She also went looking for Dodorex, an event creature that appears for about five minutes at night, once every three days. She learned it has 660,000 HP, and when she and the tribemate found one floating at sea about 5,000 meters away, daylight arrived before they could reach it. She said even 10 minutes would not be enough and that the nights would need to be about 30 minutes long.

Scarecrows, which she wanted to see, never appeared while she waited alone in the desert, and she concluded that Halloween spawns favor spots near other players and their tamed animals. Her creature Zeus reached level 300 during the stream, and she later coached the same tribemate through taming a drakeling. She closed by saying Halloween had only just begun, with bones to gather, ships to build for the server’s planned pirate event and boss fights to prepare for.

Chat opened with carrot emotes while the stream was in its waiting phase. The busiest minute, with 840 messages, came when Pekora announced the break-in. Two Super Chats arrived.
