- A long requested video, this is the complete chronological order of ALL of The Island's explorer notes! It was a joy to go back and return to the island to sort of "remaster" our notes, and add some context to the beginning and end, with a bonus scene! Thanks all, and enjoy.

Me too
I like how the lore acknowledges how fucked up the ecosystem is. How unrealistic and unnatural it is, and yet the fact it being acknowledged makes it amazing. Like the characters are realizing how terrifying that is, and that they’re in something much larger than can be understood.
That's how ARK can evolve so quickly and amazingly... they turn a huge hole in logic into a reasonable and understandable storyline that skyrockets another predictable survival game into an unimaginable submergance of futuristic gameplay and lore...that's a big reason ark is so amazing. A quote form a great CZcamsr... "if you saw where ark was going, you're lying to me, and you're lying to yourself" one of the most invigorating aspects of ark is how far the devs have taken it. I just hope they've kept that mentality for ark 2 and the TV series.
@@andrewlounsbury9733 Exactly. I'm surprized how many of the game mechanics of which i was convinced were just the way they are was just for gameplay purposes actually fit so well into the story. Almost as if the story was written first and the game made afterwards. Not quite though, and surely thats not the case, but they still did an amazing job reconciling the two.
Another cool detail is that she doesent notice how fucked the eco system is until she goes to the ice biome and if you have played the game you know that that place is a god damn warzone everyhing hates each other
@@LudvigSegerfalkThat reminds me of predator Island.
I wish someone would write a journey of some Cajun named Clyde who wakes up in the swamps, tames “Giant toads”, “jumping gators” “huge gators”, and his favorite the “standing gators”.
Dude could have a mullet, flip out when he sees a bigfoot, and a Loch Ness monster. Eventually dying of swamp fever. What a fanfic that would be along with the official lore 😂
He could have a baryonyx pop out a purple and gold mutation and name it Ed Orgeron
Love this idea
This is gold 😂
I will hold Clyde close to my heart, him and his horse gators. Maybe one day we'll get a Clyde
What are the “Standing Gators” Again?
So I'm not sitting here crying at Wuzhui's life right now... good grief you've hit me right in the feels!
A bit late to Ark and this video but as a new player I’m planning to name the first male Raptor I tame Wuzhui in his honour.
I love the progression of Rockwell through the maps. Each map he grows more and more egotistical and narcissistic. Had he been handled correctly he may have been saved from himself but nobody knew HOW mad he was growing cause he always holds his information and intentions so close to his chest. He actually starts as a somewhat decent man. Then he grows unstable as his ego grows and his principles bend and eventually you can’t call him anything less than a mad scientist off his rocker.
I noticed the same thing actually. I’m a new player to Ark, still learning the Island. I have one character in single player called Natasha and one on a multiplayer server called Sophie. It’s interesting having the two to compare. Single player is easier with everything centred around me, but while multiplayer is more dangerous because everyone else and many of the dinosaurs are higher level despite being PvE, the other players often help and teach me. I’m going to advance the two characters concurrently.
Anyway both Natasha and Sophie seem to be a lot of Meiyin, mixed in with some of Walker and a good amount of “early stage”Rockwell. Additionally I noticed that Nerva grew increasingly unstable and egotistical as the story progressed. He became very almost as bad as Rockwell once he started believing that the Obelisks were some kind of weapon that he could use to destroy his enemies even though it was costing his hard-fought “New Legion” heavily.
While this video has been of magnificent help in making sense of the explorer notes and given me a goal to achieve beyond simply surviving and mastering the whole Island I’m encouraged to continue playing and getting further because I’m curious.
It’s obvious that all of these events with Walker, Rockwell ect took place a long time before our character wakes up on the beach naked like they did. There are only tiny broken ruins around these notes and all the tribes are gone. Also it seems they didn’t have the system of waking up in a new body every time they died nor being able to loot the old one. Curious.
I wonder if it’s some kind of transferring the mind of say, Natasha, into a freshly cloned body whenever she dies. I wonder if there’s a whole cryogenic storage system with hundreds if not thousands of mindless cloned bodies waiting to receive the mind and be teleported to the spawn point/sleeping bag whenever the last cloned body got killed? Heh, I’m just speculating. When I get far enough myself ingame I’ll watch the next video and find out.
I said it before and i'll say it again: the voice of rockwell is an EXACT soundalike of David tennent. it is spooky.
_Guessss what~_
i just watched the ark animated film and sadly. your story videos are 10000x better than it ever will. thank you for making these!
Watching this just makes me more and more excited for the animated Ark series coming out. Ark actually does have a good story… it’s just not obvious if you don’t actually read the explorer notes
@@MwR52981 no it wasn't this is all part of the story goofy
@@MwR52981 have you ever read an explorer note?
Given how poorly written alot of modern cinema and shows are, I unfortunately have grave doubts. Let alone the shaky history of video game and book adaptations. Now the Netflix Cyberpunk anime was a notable exception, bankrolled by a successful game studio and managed by a high-end anime studio, Trigger. Unfortunately the group doing the Ark series is little known.
Also nothing wrong with good female characters; however, the trope of strong, independent female characters has taken a really lazy Mary Sue turn. Some 90lb (soaking wet) teenager with little training wrestling specop soldiers is laughable at best. Let alone any notable male characters being rewritten as stupid and weak. Yeah sure alot of the lore is there in the notes; however, that's never stopped modern hacks from ruining it all before.
@@Klaaism too true
I have seen people just say ark don't got no story when it doe just read the notes lol
ive watched the story of Meiyin before and i did felt sad about Wuzhuis death but in this seeing the credits and seeing baby Wuzhui and his mother hangin out and later showing his grave by Meiyin just make me shed one tear, i did not expect to tear over an in game raptor
I’m a new player and I’m going to name the first male Raptor I catch Wuzhui in his honour. The first female will be Meiyin.
Massive props to the voice actors and the general choreography of the video to the note reading. Beautifully done Ned. Loved the other story videos, but this had me right out of the gate.
Can't wait for the Aberration reading!
Wb scorched earth
Good news
That was wonderfully entertaining! I can only imagine the amount of work that went into this production.
Thanks! Be sure to share it so we get the word out about the projects going forward :)
No shit even with cheats to build all that wow
@@jacobkuhn4487
They had one of the best Ark builders on the project so we shouldn't expect anything less than brilliance. Chipzz is a one of a kind Ark builder.
@@NeddyTheNoodleI’m a new player to Ark and I wanted to write down that I’m grateful. I’ve only explored about half of the Island and only recently gotten my hands on Argys which is helping me immensely. But of course I’m finding the explorer notes out of order and had no idea about the purpose of that one artifact I found nor the Obelisks. I knew they were connected but not how.
It gives me an additional goal and perspective beyond survival and mastery of all the biomes. I’ve figured out the beaches, jungles and plains, discovered badly needed obsidian and crystal on the northeastern mini mountain…
But the swamps seem to crawl with a huge number of threats so I’ve only overflown them. The huge redwood forests are my next area to explore and learn about but the frozen snowy areas will have to wait until I have better clothing and bigger dinosaurs to tackle. Then perhaps I can go after the obelisks.
Your videos are greatly appreciated by myself, and I imagine the ARK community at large. Thank you NeedyTheNoodle!
Thank you Brian!
God damn that's an amazing impression of David Tennant your voice actor got all of his mannerisms and little inflections down to an absolute tee
exectly
I sometimes was CONCERNED it is actually David 🤣
Man, what I find crazy is now that the notes for Rockwell are out and voiced by Tennant himself, they sound nearly identical.
*chef's kiss* Perfecto!
Yeah its almost unbelievable how well the voices match.
It was such an honor to be a part of the new scenes! (In the new intro (with text) I did Nerva, Rockwell and Mei Yin and the Outro I did Mother Raptor).
The video came out so well! I’ve really been enjoying helping out with these so much! It was also fun to watch you edit this. Too bad you didn’t keep in the intimidating Rockwell stare. LOL
Great job to all else involved too!
You sound like David tenant.
@@shaestroup2044 Body actor. Not voice 🤭
@@cherry-wav3 Did you actually get David Tennant to voice Rockwell? If so how? I'm a huge fan of him.
@@shaestroup2044 Yeah as far as I know he is the new voice for Rockwell in Ark. I am a huge fan of him too
Can't wait for the video where it has every survival story across every map lol
Gonna be like 10 hours long lol
Would spend an entire day just listening to that in the background.
'Every' map may be a bit of a stretch.
That's the only thing I have been waiting for since this channel started doing the notes. My daughter loves watching these with me.
You mean "The Series "
ButchX3 is how i found this channel. This is an amazing work of art. Thank you for this.
Absolute perfection. Huge lore nut for all games, and this has been the cleanest presentation of ARK Lore.
"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."
To walk out onto the island for the first time again
What I don’t get is how the hell they failed to adapt this to a show format.
FOR REALLL! The ARK lore, though you would expect a sandbox game to be half-baked, is pretty incredible! So when they literally have a script WRITTEN IN GAME, how did they fuck it up so bad??
Oh it’s simple. They hired “diversity writers” to satisfy their corporate overlords. Not a single one ever played the game. Just read the Wikipedia article and then immediately began working on THEIR story. You know the one where they are competent and tell the men what to do all the time? Oh and they of course didn’t forget to put a chick in it and make her gay.

It truly baffles me how Helena is more likeable in these fan films made in game than in the official animated series, they dropped the ball so hard. Ark addicts are calling it good or atleast decent, but in my humble opinion as a non-biased casual player, it's just trash even if you ignore the wokeness
I expected this to a cringey mess but I am extremely enjoying this. It feels like something the Devs would make themselves.
This is what the show should’ve been
This is way better than the animated series. The animated series done the biggest disservice to the original story*
Absolute Masterpiece!! 🤘 Watched it with Butch so glad you two have crossed paths. I’m headed to watch your narrated explanation next. I’m already playing ASA but you can never have too much back story. Once again BRAVO!
Tell me why I'm almost moved to tears by the fall of Wuzhui. And lil baby Wuzhui at the end. God, props on such a phenomenal performances and editing. I know the Ark Machinima game is barren, but you'd be at the top even if it wasn't.
This was a wonderful dive into the lord of ARK. I’ve played most of the maps and understand most of what I’d going on in the more grand scheme of ARK but to hear the survivalist story’s and the first person not gameplay view of this universe was great. I can’t wait for the rest of the maps videos if you end up making them
This is absolutely incredible. The voice actors were astounding, and somehow, each voice sounded exactly as I imagined they would. I cannot thank you enough for this!
thanks! the next map is coming wednesday :)
I love listening to these like they’re audiobooks, while I’m cooking, playing games, or anything else in the background. It’s my favorite way to watch long form information content like this
I listen to this as I play Ark and every time I hear the voice actor playing Rockwell, all I can picture is David Tennant (or the 10th Doctor) voicing this and I get a huge smile!!
We need a tenth doctor in the Cretaceous…
Me too, his voice is beautifull
@@thephasmidpharm459 imagine an Ark live Action movie with David tennant as Rockwell xD
_guess what_
I love when a game has good lore
When I first got ark I was expecting PvP to be just like this. You make good videos and I watch your journeys core around once a week, its just soooo good. Have a good day/night!
This is way superior than the animated series.
Neddy, you truly have directed one of the greatest in engine cinematics of any video game ever in my opinion. The amount of choreography, direction, and just raw effort put into this to make it all work and the time it must have taken is truly inspiring and amazing. Especially in a game with odd physics like Ark (no offense to the game), its truly remarkable, and immersive. You've given life and history to this game that for all intents and purposes is slowly being put to rest for better and for worse. I am so thankful that someone like you exists. I cannot wait for the entire journey and experience. And the rewatchability of it too. Truly great.
Found you by accident. So glad I did. that was a great piece of content to produce and I loved every second. Now on to scorched earth :D so much to watch, and I got the time!😍
This is criminally underrated, I enjoyed every moment! I finally was able to learn about the backstories of the characters thanks to this video! Amazing job to everyone who participated. I'm very excited to see the Survival Story for Scorched Earth!
i cant wait to see this remade in ASA with all you have learned. best presentation of lore i have seen, hail NeddyTheLoreKing! lol
These make me hyped for the animated series.
Anime is terrible and cartoons are for children
@@LostHope84 SILENCE BLASPHEMER!!!!
@@LostHope84 and so i suposse berserk for children
Hands Down BEST VIDEO ever created!! Thank you for everything you have done for us :)
Hey dude, we're like twins
This is amazing! I've only ever collected like 5 of the explorer notes, and never even tried the artifacts, I spend all my time building and playing with the dinos. So this was wonderful to get the full story and background of everything!!! And the voice acting is top notch!!!
It's really damn well done how you can see rockwell's decent into his element obsessed madness throughout this series.
Better Than Ark the animated series
Ark animated series is still great
@@simmiehoeft2591 as a fanfiction sure
I have not finished the show but yes
I'm not crying over a digital raptor, YOU are!
I loved watching the story unfold and evolve over time since ARK was initially released. I remember when nobody had found all the notes on The Island yet and everyone was really unclear on how to fight the bosses. This game is really organic as far as the lore is concerned, and easily one of the best Sandbox-style narratives ever made. It's incredible how well ARK blends an immersive and deep story while also remaining completely out of the way of the experience of the game itself.
I’ve probably watched this video 3 or 4 times now and it still feels incredible to be able to visualize the survivors and their stories. It never seems to get old. Very well done, Ned. I’d call this series of yours a masterpiece! Can’t wait for Aberration part 2!
Same here!
Absolutely awesome reenactment of the notes and storyline. I've been waiting for someone to put something like this together to really help everyone see the depth of Ark. Although the devs most certainly need to educate their selves on the business side of things, they truly do understand what gamers are looking for, and are gifted at best. 👍🏼
Okay but the David Tennant impersonation has my heart and I' m so excited to learn all the lore
All the voice actors did a great job! Excellent video.
This was an amazing video! It was like watching a movie. Excellent work to the voice actors, the in-game actors, and the editors, everybody involved did a fantastic job. I am hooked, and about to watch the scorched stories right now.
Absolutely incredible. So well done it's hard to believe it is fan art. The voice acting was so good.
The story of Ark is already a good one, but you really bring it to life! What a wonderful retelling of the story. The voice actors are amazing!
If I had the money, I'd pay a fortune to have a whole series made with these voice actors!
This was an an absolute masterpiece that left me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Between the amazing cast of voice actors, the music and narrative choice.
Absolutely amazing mate. Cannot wait for extinction! You deserve millions of views, I'll be sure to watch this 1000x times.
I can’t wait for this, I believe Neddy is perfect for this
Rockwell really embodies the vibe of "British colonizer baffled when foreign groups refuse to partake of habit-forming substances, claims to be misunderstood and refuses to refer to others as anything other than barbarians"
The voice acting in this was amazing, I especially amazed how much that VA sounded like David Tennant
the lore in this games so underrated imo
Couldn't agree more, mate
@@NeddyTheNoodle thanks for piecing it all together dude thoroughly enjoyed it
Even thought I have watched it all separately it was amazing to see it all together and worth watching again! I love the ending with young Wuzhui.
Truly amazing what you've made here. =D
Thanks. I may have given the wrong impression, that was my head cannon for Wuzhui having a kid before he died.
Thank you for putting hits together. I played through Ark but never really got the picture that this video really portrays. Having all the notes broken up actually does a pretty big disservice. To be honest they should have just payed you for this video, and when you collect all the notes, the option to watch your cut-scene should appear. Great work!
Huge respect for the amount of work that got into this!
I enjoyed it alot!!!
The Helena voice actor is better than the official one imo, the one in the game sounds fake to me. You all did a great job with this series, voice actors where amazing. Thanks Ned!!
Y'all just blew me away! I couldn't stop watching and lost a couple hours at work to boot! Please keep up the fantastic work!
It could be inferred that Rockwell's path to insanity started on the island. If you listen closely, rockwell appears to sound more and more insane as we go on.
7:09 that fish is certainly fresh!
I enjoyed watching them all together. I love how you included Mei Yin's theme!
You earned yourself a like and a new subscriber, I hope you guys make more of these,I really enjoyed it 😁
Holy shit, i didnt even know the ARK Team created such a interesting Story.
And HOLY SHIT you guys did a wonderfull job by animating, voice acting, building and playing the Story.
This was just great too watch, even do i'm very sick with headache and stuff, i just watched this full without a break.
Absolute masterpeace and i lay on my knees and beg you for doing all the other Biom story's too.
You're an Ark Legend now, if you were not already. Thank You for this.
This was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on CZcams we need more!
Top notch voice acting and animation, lots of fun and good for a drive! Looking forward to the next installment, you have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work.
ok I am going to comment again. because I need to give credit to the absolutely amazing voice acting. While watching this HLNA came to life, Rockwell was uncannily like david tennant.. just me? Mei yin moved me the most and Nerva was perfect. Thank you all so much
*_nobody tell this person the news_*
This was genuinely impressive. Now I wanna watch the animated series.
This video is gonna be AMAZING
Absolutely incredible, start to finish! Everything from the buildings, scene setup, camera positioning, editing and phenomenal voice acting made this video truly amazing. Excellent work to everyone involved in the project! I can only begin to imagine how long this took and how much effort went into it.
I have a feeling this is better than the animated series ever will be, I love it Neddy!
I got to be honest this is better then the animated series idc what anyone says
This is awesome and deserves so much more views!
Neddythenoodle series > Ark animated series
This was incredibly well done. It was amazing . Thank you all 💗
Outstanding. Thankyou so much for this!!!! that ending.... the feels...
I love ARKs lore, so many don't know how in depth it is. Great Job!
This is amazing!! We need more Ark Story/Roleplay content!!
I still can't believe this video only has a little more than 12k likes. It is such a remarkable work, with love and passion for this story radiating out of every scene, something that studio wildcard should have done long ago for their great game themselves. Thank you Neddy, and all that worked with you!
Thanks mate :)

@@NeddyTheNoodle Thanks, but I've already seen all your Survival Stories several times over, and will likely do it again repeatedly. ^^ I just love them. Especially Raias sad story gets me every time. Great voice acting, and awesome reenactment! I won't ask you for doing this for Extinction, too (as many viewers have done already), cause I know what an ammount of work it is... but it would certainly be a dream. ^^
Man I enjoyed this!!! I love the game, but I haven't actually followed the story much. This puts in a way that is understandable and attention getting. Will watch the others! Good job on this guys.
Really well made! I never knew how much of a gentleman Rockwell was, the ark lore really is interesting and full of entertainment!
Cant wait for the animated series
Gentleman? He's a classist snob imo
@@Sp0on777yes but, at first, he at least tried to be friendly to other people
This series is wonderful, it really brings the lore to life!
"I knocked her unconscious"
*Helena proceeds to be flung 15 feet backwards.*
Once the ark survival evovled animated series comes out ur channel gonna be the go to for lore
Honestly - This might actually be better then the upcoming animated series! Amazing job here! Please keep these coming!
Heck, you could probably do a survivor story on all of the holiday events and it would be epic lol :)
saw this recommendation and was gonna hold off until I finished the The Island. then realized how big this game is after playing for 2 months and barely found 1/5 of the notes. finally watched and love every moment of it!
I can’t wait for it to start!
Came here from Butch. This video is amazing. Brilliant.
God this is what I needed. Ark stories/entries are rad
i love your ark lore content man, keep it up - because your the best at it - by a long shot
Didnt expect to watch a feature lenght ARK: The Island movie, but here we are. And I loved every second of it.
All their budget went on voice acting , story writing , and music compositions , those things are all extremely top notch by wildcard
Thank you so much for making this! I've had 3k+ hours of playing this game but never bothered to really get into the story. This is just perfect! Again, thank you for all your hard work!
I can't even process a full comment right now... all I can say is "WOW!" great job :)
❤ that was amazing 🤩🤩 I loved it!!!! Great job everyone!
This was excellent. Wildcard has to promote this as an introduction to the world in preparation of Ark 2 launch
I was looking for a compilation of the explorer notes b/c I want to create a map to play on that reflected those notes, and I came across this. Beautifully done, and had been a great help for my server project!
I just watched the full thing for an entire hour and a half and I loved it thanks alot!
