Rockwell
Rockwell Overview
Rockwell is a boss-tier creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, fought in a dedicated arena and one of the toughest endgame challenges in the game. Rockwell cannot be tamed through normal means and engages survivors with 42,000 base Health - one of the toughest creatures in the game. It gives live birth after a gestation period, with offspring maturing over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. Its high carrying capacity turns base-to-base resource hauls and farming runs into single-trip jobs. Beating it is a milestone unlock, gating tek progression for the tribes that can pull it off.
