Nunatak (Alpha)
Nunatak (Alpha) Overview
Nunatak (Alpha) stands among ARK: Survival Ascended's boss creatures - an arena fight that demands preparation, strong mounts, and good positioning. Nunatak (Alpha) cannot be tamed through normal means and engages survivors with 1,250,000 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge. It gives live birth after a gestation period, with offspring maturing over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. As a flyer it shortens cross-map travel and opens scouting routes that ground mounts simply cannot reach. Beating it is a milestone unlock, gating tek progression for the tribes that can pull it off.
