Much of what is known of Fenrir comes from tales passed down from previous Survivors but this elusive creature has managed to avoid being documented in the form of a dossier. What we do know is: Fenrir does not respond to conventional taming methods. If you are able to capture and ride Fenrir, you’ll be able to freeze your enemies in their steps.
Andrewsarchus makes its way to Fjordur packing an arsenal of utility! Andrewsarchus may seem sluggish while foraging for a meal, but they can move unexpectedly fast when provoked. Once tamed, its saddle will allow you to mount a minigun to the back of it!

As you might imagine, Desmodus prefers to hang out in dark places, waiting for its unsuspecting prey! If you’re lucky enough to tame one, you can send Desmodus to snatch up small prey or saddle up and vanish into the darkness.

Looking to dive right into the action, Fjordhawk can forge close bonds with humans as wholeheartedly as any canine or primate. A tamed Fjordhawk is a surprisingly playful companion that is very capable of fetching targets that you point out. A well-trained Fjordhawk can locate injured prey and communicate its find to you.

Acting as a functional weapon skin for the TEK sword, Mjolnir packs its own special powers and empowers Survivors with supernatural might. Devastate your foes with shocking ease as you exercise control over the element of lightning. However, not every survivor will pass the test and be considered worthy to obtain the mighty Mjolnir. Will you be up to the challenge?

I bought psn to buy ark back in 2020. My lil bro underestimated the game bc I played before on mobile, but once when I woke up on the beaches of the island for the 1st time on ps4, my bro was shocked, the graphic was much better than mobile one, atleast more FPS than mobile and then my brother wanted to play splitscreen with me. I answered “yes” and we started going into the journey of the island for the 1st time. Both had to get used with the settings but i got used quicker, cause I played more than him. We together struggled alot gaining the artifacts. We collected them all 3 times. A challenge was for us the taming methods too and the difficulties of certain biomes. We didn’t know alot about the resistance but my bro put most of his levels on health and died out often in the ice caves and lava cave from taking the artifacts. For us, was the mutation system also complicated but we didn’t know anything, and bred random rexes to built the entire small island(Southern islets) full of rexes. I went alone taming two yuties bc yuties were my fav back then with their buff and roar. We were sweating when we tried broodmother(gamma) but…we won the fight easily and I was dumb and said”we gotta the guardians 3 times to gain all the tek gear” and we did that sadly. But we gained alot of element, extreme resource grinding and finally building the replicator with tek armor. My brother loved flying around or running on the water like a shinobi from naruto. We’ve been ready to face the gamma overseer. 6 rexes out of 25 fell in the lava. 2 sacrificed themselves against the terrifying giga. We beat up the overseer with strategy. One shoots off the drones, the other buffs the dinos. We finally ascended. We played ofc aberration too, it was very new for us the whole mechanic but…he refused when I asked him if we will fight rockwell. Today, he seems to play other games, and only playing fibercraft and generally on the game very rare..

What if civilizations formed in Ark? Would they create peace? War? Trades? In this video, I investigate this question by simulating human civilization in Ark with REAL players!
