Tek Cave and Overseer Checklist for ASA Ascension

Most failed Tek Cave attempts start before the lava: wrong survivor, missing prerequisite, sloppy train or unclear proof.

This checklist is built for Small Tribes decisions and service tickets, not for one static route pretending to beat every patch.

Entry and survivor checks

Confirm the survivor needs the ascension, has the current prerequisites and can stay online for the full window.

• Correct survivor and implant checked.
• Prerequisite bosses confirmed.
• Difficulty written in ticket.
• Transfer timers cleared early.

Dino train discipline

The cave path punishes panic whistles. Keep the train simple, avoid overpacking bodies, and decide who leads, who unsticks and who calls stops.

Carry scope

For a carry, clarify whether the buyer walks, rides, waits, receives loot or only needs completion proof. The worst ticket is one where everyone assumed a different Tek Cave.

Do the boring checks first

If Tek Cave is for level cap or ascension value, align it with the level cap guide and confirm breed lines/FFAs plus prep items/resources before farming the wrong prerequisite.
