Kikirara Vivi Opens ARK Stream Restrained, Closes It With a Level 150 Acrocanthosaurus Tame

HOLOLIVE — Kikirara Vivi of Hololive’s FLOW GLOW tamed a level 150 Acrocanthosaurus in ARK on the Hololive server on Friday, one day after an attempt she said she had gone about too nervously. The nearly five-hour stream, the 22nd in her series on the server, opened with her logging in to find herself restrained and seated in a cell.

The server had just gained a Halloween event mod. Vivi had spent the lead-up saying she had watched videos on taming the Acrocanthosaurus and was afraid of panicking. Instead she arrived in the cell with a Halloween executioner creature behind her, pleading for help and insisting she had done nothing wrong. She was accused of sneaking into a senior member’s base for genetic material and stripping its skins, and said she had only wanted the genes. She was then told about roughly 100 C4 charges planted around the cell, and Choco-sensei’s Tyrannosaurus arrived. After she died, she could not respawn for 30 seconds and had to run back for her gear on foot. Another player later showed her a photo of her confinement, to be used to advertise a photo studio being built on the server.

“I thought it was impossible, but I did it. I might be glad about it.” — Kikirara Vivi, after the taming

Her Halloween haul continued with swimsuit bottoms made from skin taken from her own corpse, which she wore to pose for photos beside a unicorn. Later in the session she took part in a night-time hunt for a Halloween event boss creature with 660,000 health. A scanner placed it about 5,000 meters out, near the sea, and daylight arrived before anyone could reach it.

The main business came in the third hour. After clearing the other creatures around a level 150 Acrocanthosaurus, Vivi fought it in repeated rounds, backing off whenever it threatened and moving in again once it calmed. At one point she said the previous day’s experience had paid off. She fed it top-grade kibble once it was down, and it was tamed at about the three-hour mark. She said afterward that she had never met a level 150 creature before. A Drakeling, a small flying creature that perches on the shoulder, followed after she took advice from other players on how to win one over.

Six Super Chats arrived, several congratulating her on the two tames. Vivi closed the stream by greeting Kaela, who dropped in near the end, with a Halloween greeting. She said she planned to keep collecting bones for Halloween skins, look for more Drakelings and build a safe, and that she would return the following evening after work.
