ARK: Survival Evolved Companion

Tips & Strategies

Scientifically speaking it's one of the three most adorable things in ark, along with the otter and ovis, but it does have a practical use, they have an interesting expertise at detecting weather, I can't describe it to you in words so go watch shipwreckt's video on it. Otherwise it's not very useful, unless there are storms on Ragnarok with its next major update, it's adorable though!
More Jerboa Utility Tips
Weight: Jerboa's total weight is HALVED on your shoulder. Ex. Let's say your crystal is 80 weight. If you have jerboa hold the crystal and put him on your shoulder it would weigh 40. Check top utility comment for his weather prediction!
Detects weather events. Fast tail wagging means lightning storm. Barking at the sky means Sandstorm. Digging at the ground means Heatwave. Sniffing sound means Rain.
DO NOT believe that this reduces weight on its inventory. As of today AUG 2020 I tested stacks of meats and berries etc, IT DOESNT. But instead it increases spoil timer of foods, meats and berries on its inventory. β¬οΈ to prevent ppl from false informations!
If the two parents of a baby Jerboa do not have good food stats, the baby will die almost instantly after birth.
Reduces weight of items in its inventory when carried.
Do not let their cuteness fool you. Jerboas are an essential desert companion. They are able to detect storms up to 3 minutes in advance.
These little guys do not like Fjordur. If you bring them over they will be constantly growling. Probably because of the new weather events. I hope this gets patched soon because I miss bringing a jerboa with me everywhere
Guy saying that jerboas don't reduce weight in their inventory, that is correct, however, if you put things into a jerb's inventory, and put the jerb on your shoulder, you only get half of the weight
As of July 27th 2022, on xbox official, The weather detection and weight reduction work perfectly. Plus they're the easiest tame next to DoDo but so much more useful than an egg dispenser lol
I think mobile should have a map that is a lot like lost island. It would have wyverns, snow owls, jerboas and most most creatures we donβt have on island. It would be cool to have the map mobile exclusive so we can finally have something just on mobile thatβs not crap.
