Drops & Harvest Resources

You can gather Hide, Raw Meat from a Yeti corpse. The corpse has 120 harvest health, allowing multiple hits before it's fully depleted.

The harvest table below breaks down exact yields per tool. Choose your tool based on which resource you're after - yields vary significantly.

Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.

Welcome to the full Yeti guide for ARK: Survival Ascended. Here you can quickly review its stats, taming requirements, breeding info, and resource gathering potential, then dive into our detailed calculators and maps for more depth.

The Yeti starts with 2,000 base Health, 100% base Melee Damage, 220 base Weight. These base values scale with each wild and tamed level-up, so check the taming calculator to see exactly what stats you can expect at different levels.

The Yeti gives live birth after a gestation period. Babies mature in 3 days and 5 hours. Check the breeding calculator for detailed imprint schedules and raising costs.

Once tamed, the Yeti can harvest Hide, Raw Meat. Visit the information tab for the full harvest table with quantities and efficiency data.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Yeti is a herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Misc classification.

At 2,000 base HP, the Yeti is a proper tank. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Yeti has respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 300 gives it decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 220, giving it modest carrying capacity.

The Yeti cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. A wild Yeti is worth 20 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.35 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
