ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Literally the best exploration mount in the game.
EXTREMELY easy to tame as they have very low torpor, do not aggro and eat meat. (Mutton only next to kibble)
Can easily be tamed with the use of a simple trap and/or rare flower if you haven’t unlocked net gun yet (since they do zoom away the moment they take even the slightest damage) or if you’re like me, just chase it run their a$$ down with tranqs caveman style.
They consume very low stamina as they glide through the air, you can pretty much go from one corner of the map to another if you yeet yourself off of a high cliff and barely even use 50% of their stamina.
They can also jump very high if you hold down the jump button for a second or two which enables to glide even when it seems physically impossible.
Overall great starter/mid game tame and dare I say, even a end game tame.
Also, it’s super easy to get wyvern eggs with a maewing, it’s almost a joke as the maewing also swims very fast and doesn’t have an oxygen meter so you can pretty much dive bomb wyvern eggs (I can usually grab 2-3 eggs before things get too dangerous) and immediately glide away safely or directly into water and come out whenever my oxygen is low. (Wyverns don’t follow you into water and easily get distracted by literally any herbivore in their path)
More Maewing Taming & KO Tips
I spent an hour looking for them on ground in the red woods but I didnt realize they mostly spawn in the water so bring your snow owl to find the most and check the lakes.
These guys seem useless at first, but are great tames! They’re found on two maps, in one biome for each map. They’re found on gen 2 and lost island, eden biome on gen 2 and on lost island, the grass platoi areas.
They lay eggs of different qualities, from basic to exceptional! This allows for great and easy taming! They are also the first genderless BUT breed-able creatures, thus being extremely unique! They are mammals, thus they breed with a gestation period after the breeding! They are great tames and can be used for many things! They are the fastest creature you can get on lost island, making it easy to get wyvern eggs if the wyverns are distracted! The taming is pretty simple thankfully! Best way to tame them, is by netting them and then building a trap around them, then nocking them out. They’re saddle is easy to craft and unlocked early, thus this can be a very good early tame! To end this of, I’d like to tell you all that this creature is based of a flying squirrel and a platypus! For now, hope your ride with the colony ship stays steady! And remember! Keep surviving! And for one of these touching on the other genesis creatures, just let me know, by taking this to ten ups!
Thanks for reading, survivors!
It’s a knockout tame and can be fed meat to tame but after tame its a omnivore
Ps I know this info is going to be out in a few days but for now it’s not
Knock out tame.
Eats berries or meat to tame
They are also found on fiorjer
You got a solid 7 seconds before they enter the stratosphere so shoot fast
A 130 level took three tranq darts. It ko'd underwater but does not have oxygen so will survive. Feed mutton for quick tame!
Tamed a 116 and it only took about 5 tranqs
On fjordur don’t go to the lake in redwoods because there is a chance you will find none or just one. Instead go to the telporters and go to the one that says Asgard, then if you find this little portal that says hati and skoll go around that area and you will find a ton of them.
I had forgotten that they spawn in Asgard,this is so people don’t suffer by going into the redwood’s.
