Raw Meat
Hide
Raw Prime MeatEach hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Cryolophosaurus as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. With 500 base Health, the Cryolophosaurus is decently sturdy. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it solid stamina reserves. A base Weight of 500 means excellent carrying capacity.
To tame the Cryolophosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Exceptional Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Cryolophosaurus is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 12°C–16°C temperature window. A wild Cryolophosaurus is worth 30 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.94 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
