ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
From what I read, each variant can give different buffs and have different abilities;
I only tamed the The Winterly Drakeling so here’s what I learned with it:
It is found in the snow biomes.
It can slow your fall so you don’t take fall damage. (You can toggle it on or off).
It can give it’s winter buff to allies (10% damage increase and +100 insulation). It gives it to you when on your shoulder and buff your mount.
It has a blue breath attack, which can be used while in your hand or assist you when you’re fighting on your shoulder.
It accumulates xp and can give it to allies, including creatures.
To cycle between the breath attack, give buff or give xp, simply have it in your hand (like Cosmo it gives a weapon to equip on your hotbar) and press R, then right click on your target.
I’ll find the other variant and check out their abilities!

Are you always hungry? Do you run out of cooked meat when out on your adventures? Well look no further. This little nugget turns your raw meat into cooked meat while on the move. No need for a campfire all the time. Stoves? Get them outta here. Get your drakeling today for a small fee of go get it yourself.
Just learned about this, dont sleep on these little critters, every drakeling has the ability to store xp from the player, upto I believe 30k. If you then take that stored xp and give it to a creature, the creature not only gains a ton of levels but you will also receive a new item called the dragon hoard, you use it like a treasure map, and the more xp you give to a creature at once the better the hoard will be. Im talking about massive massive payout. I've gotten kibble from every dragon hoard so far as well. Definitely worth having on your shoulder while out and about just for that.
Quick tip, go hunting for alphas. They definitely give the most stored xp to the drakeling. !!!
If you have any Heavy Miner’s Helmets just laying around, you can equip one to your Drakeling. When you equip the Drakeling to your hotbar and select it, you’ll have a flashlight that you can attack with. (Highly recommend having helmets with the highest durability possible to provide you and your Drakeling with light for as long as possible)
