Now that patch v243 has finally hit our games, there is a lot of new stuff to discover. In this post we will walk you through the most important things and provide you with all the necessary information to enjoy it to the fullest!

Titanosaur

It seems that the Titanosaur cannot be tamed in a normal fashion. Instead, you’ll have to down it with brute force (real brute force, so cannon balls and ballista bolts to the face). It’s recommended that you bring a team, as it will not be possible to take it down on your own. After you’ve damaged it enough, it will go down and you will be able to put a saddle on his back. After that, it’s yours (temporarily though). We don’t know the exact time yet, but it seems that you can only keep the Titanosaur for about 24 hours (real time) or maybe slightly more. We’ll look into this further, but it’s suspected to be based on when the food hits zero (as you cannot feed it).

The saddle can be learned at level 95 and you’ll need 170 EP for it. Additionally, the following items are required to make it:

4000x Hide

2000x Fiber

1600x Cementing Paste

4000x Metal Ingot

Spawn commands

Titanosaur:

cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/titanosaur/Titanosaur_Character_BP.Titanosaur_Character_BP'" 0 0 0 1

Platform saddle:

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Saddles/PrimalItemArmor_TitanSaddle_Platform.PrimalItemArmor_TitanSaddle_Platform'" 1 0 0

Redwood biome (and snow extension)

The Redwood biome can be found around the middle of the Island. Just go check it out, it’s awesome to see! You can build in the trees and place a special treetrap to get sap from them (for instance used for the gasmask). Even the Titanosaur looks small compared to the size of these trees!

Gas Mask

The gas mask can be used to keep you save from toxic gasses and diseases. It’s very useful for the swamp cave and to counter the swamp fever. In order to “refill” the mask, you’ll need the new Sap that can be obtained from the Redwoods.

You’ll need to be level 95 to learn the engram and it will costs you 110 EP.

Furthermore, the following ingredients are required to make it:

220x Polymer

85x Crystal

10x Absorbent Substrate

The absorbent substrate is another engram that you can unlock at level 95 for 60 EP and can be made in the Chemistry bench with the following items:

8x Black Pearl

8x Sap

8x Oil

Spawn command

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/SCUBA/PrimalItemArmor_GasMask.PrimalItemArmor_GasMask'" 1 0 0

Treehouse Structures

There are some treehouse structures available that you can use to build in the massive redwood trees. These items includes a rope ladder and wooden / metal tree platforms. You can place any other structure on these platforms to make yourself a full fledged base in the sky. Below you’ll find the requirements for each of the items. Note that all of them can be made in the smithy:

Wooden Tree Platform (28 EP, level ??):

1600x Wood

200x Metal Ingot

600x Cementing Paste

600x Fiber

Metal Tree Platform (55 EP, level ??)

1800x Metal Ingot

1400x Cementing Paste

600x Fiber

Rope Ladder (5 EP, level 30, can be made in inventory)

15x Wood

140x Thatch

180x Fiber

Spawn commands

Rope Ladder

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Wooden/PrimalItemStructure_RopeLadder.PrimalItemStructure_RopeLadder'" 1 1 0

Wooden Tree Platform

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Wooden/PrimalItemStructure_TreePlatform_Wood.PrimalItemStructure_TreePlatform_Wood'" 1 1 0

Metal Tree Platform

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Wooden/PrimalItemStructure_TreePlatform_Metal.PrimalItemStructure_TreePlatform_Metal'" 1 1 0

Tree sap (tap)

With the redwood trees comes also their sap. You can make a special tree sap tap to get sap from the redwood trees over time.

To learn the engram, you’ll need to be level 50 and it will cost you 30 EP. The ingredients to make it in a smithy are as follows:

100x Metal Ingot

40x Cementing Paste

Spawn commands

Tree Sap

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Sap.PrimalItemResource_Sap'" 1 0 0

Tree Sap Tap

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Pipes/PrimalItemStructure_TreeTap.PrimalItemStructure_TreeTap'" 1 0 0

Sweet vegetable cake (Tastycakes)

For now the only use of the cakes is to make it possible to heal herbivores in an easy way (since berries don’t work well) and it doesn’t seem to be of use for taming. If you have found any other uses, please let us know in a comment!

The recipe seems to be as follows (can be made in a cooking pot):

7x Tree Sap

2x Rockarrot

2x Longrass

2x Savoroot

2x Citronal

4x Stimulant

25x Fiber

Water

Spawn command

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_SweetVeggieCake.PrimalItemConsumable_SweetVeggieCake'" 1 0 0

Chain bola

The ballista has been extended with a chain bola that you can use to bring down the larger creatures in ARK. This means that you can now take down big flyers such as the Quetzalcoatlus!

To create the chain bola, you’ll need to be level ?? and have 30 EP ready to spent. Furthermore, the following items are required to create it in the smithy:

10x Cementing Paste

2x Obsidian

65x metal Ingot

Spawn command

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItemAmmo_ChainBola.PrimalItemAmmo_ChainBola'" 1 0 0
