Hey folks! I've recently taken on a couple of the bosses on The Island and thought I'd share my experience with them. I dont expect anyone to watch through all of these, but the first one is probably the most interesting, as I panic after making a mistake, hah. Also the volume is a little loud on the first two, before I sorted out an input volume issue...
Edit: Added 2 videos for the Dragon fights.
Megapithecus - Gamma (Easy)
(Skip to about 7:20, forgot to cut out all the setup from this clip)
Megapithecus - Beta (Medium)
Megapithecus - Alpha (Hard)
Broodmother - Gamma (Easy)
Broodmother - Beta (Medium)
Broodmother - Alpha (Hard) - Fail
Broodmother - Alpha (Hard) - Success

I miss playing ARK. But I can't seem to figure out why my mouse and on screen point is so far out of sync.

Hmmm. Do you use that "Geforce Now" service? I think that's what Flash uses, and I recently dabbled with it. I found that on some days when my latency is higher there would be a delay in mouse movements. Other than that, I could only recommend setting your graphcis settings to minimum just to troubleshoot if it's a performance problem.

My pointer is almost 1/2 of an inch away from what I try to click on. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game, mouse drivers and everything. And that's the only game it happens to.

This post suggests 2 fixes:
1) alt tab out of the game, then alt tab back in (temporary fix)
2) disable steam overlay
Another thread suggested the cause may be from a mismatch in resolution between the game and your native desktop resolution.
Found the issue was with my video settings. Alienware kept trying to improve quality, while I wanted functionality.
Thank you Bort.

Bort,
It looks like a dodge ball strategy is needed at all times, with our head on a swivel. Then it was followed by chasing the lizard around the lava pits.
And you made it with 3 theriz left. Sheesh!
