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 Xiphactinus as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Water category.
Starting at 450 Health, it's moderately tough. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 420 gives it solid stamina reserves. Weight capacity starts at 300, giving it good carrying capacity.
To tame the Xiphactinus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the Xiphactinus is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a -75°C–75°C temperature window. A wild Xiphactinus is worth 12 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.37 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
