Usada Pekora’s Kerberax Taming Attempts Crash Twice on the Hololive ARK Server
After a game crash ended each try, the streamer spent the rest of Day 9 on a jungle cave run and a farming robot instead.
HOLOLIVE — Usada Pekora tried twice on Sunday to tame Kerberax, a three-headed boss-class creature in ARK, and the game crashed both times. The attempts came on Day 9 of her stream on the Hololive ARK server and ended without a tame.
Pekora began the stream by telling viewers she had overslept. She then opened three treasure caches, which she said held better loot than the one she had opened the day before, and moved on to the creature she had put off the longest. Before the first try she read up on the method: lay a trap, tranquilize each head, clear a minigame for each head, tranquilize it again and feed it to complete the tame.
“It wouldn’t even let me try. Seriously? I thought I could do it.” — Usada Pekora, after the second crash
The first attempt ended when the game crashed during the balancing minigame, which she believed happened when its timer ran out. On the second try the game crashed before she could mount up and start. She said viewers reported the same crashes in the English version of the game, and that the bug would have to be fixed before she could even practice. She said she would try again about once a day, expecting crashes, and hope for a lucky run.
The rest of the night went to other projects. She made a run into a jungle cave with bug repellent, a heavy load and a lot of lava, but did not get the crocodile saddle she was after. A Deinotherium she wanted as a boss-fight mount stayed scarce even after she spent a long stretch hunting brontosaurs. Late in the stream she turned to building a robot, which cost 1,200 polymer, 500 electronic boards and 1,200 metal, and set it to gather crops into a storage box. She said she could not afford a second one.
Pekora tamed no new creatures on the day and counted the robot as the one result. She said the Kerberax and Deinotherium plans, boss-fight preparation and a search for artifacts would wait for later streams, and that she would fix her sleep schedule because Monday was coming.
