Tips & Strategies

I recommend using cryopods when raising drakes, it’s slower but it’s less stressful and you don’t ruin your sleep schedule
People keep asking why they're not on Valguero. They were on Valguero back when it was a mod map. When the devs made Valguero an official map, they removed rock drakes and reapers from it because they don't want people to have Aberration content without buying the dlc itself. There was a quarrel with the devs and the original creators of Valguero, because the devs removed so many creatures from it. Eventually we got where we are. Valguero got a lot of creatures removed from it, and the original creators released a mod for Valguero that adds a bunch of creatures to it, rock drakes included.
Fjordur: Nameless Venom is harvested from the yellow-oozing rocks in the Abberant cave in south Vannaland and the Rock Drakes are found in Asgard.
They are really easy to raise. In 10 minutes they lose about 57 food and in 1 hour they lose 343 , also , 1 nameless venom gives 400 food.
When taming these, be sure to have enough nameless venom on you. Once you steal the egg, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU BETTER HOPE YOU HAVE SOMETHING FAST SO YOU CAN ESCAPE OR YOU WILL GET RIPPED APART BY ALL THE MOMMIES AND DADDIES. Back to the point. Once you have the egg, make sure that once you get back to your base you have PLENTY of AC’s ready. Once hatched and raised you will unlock the saddle at level 75 for 26 engram points. These guys can glide, jump super high, boost while flying so you can grab walls, and turn invisible. If this was helpful, please up.
Rockdrakes are on Fjordur !!!!!!!
This is not really about rock drakes but everyone who plays aberration must know . If you want to protect yourself from element poisoning ( purple rivers ) eat aserbic mushrooms to temporary protect yourself against element poisoning but don't eat too many or you'll get knocked out! Or you eat stimulants after . P.s to protect yourself against frozen spores ( found in blue areas ) eat aquatic mushrooms . Eat the brown mushrooms to protect yourself against colourful spores which make you suffercate found on top layer not surface ! The less oxygen you have the more damage colourful spores will do to you
For everyone whining about how this needs to be in Valguero, it was originally the case. That’s why they added the irradiated/luminous area into The Emerald Forest, as they were planning on adding the rock drakes and their nests into it. While I do know that, I’m not sure why they discarded actually adding the rock drakes... more than likely a time constraint or because ‘drakes didn’t fit Valguero’s map.
They're a little weaker than a wild rex, and you can find them by hearing rocky footsteps accompanied by shimmering lights.
Beware that there's usually a few on the border of the green and blue zones in abberation.
There, first actual piece of advice posted for encountering then rather than asinine off-topic posts.
With TLC Update 3 out and wyverns are now breedable, I would definitely recommend getting a 190 high base stat breeding pair ready for the future as I don't see why they wouldn't make Rock Drakes breedable as well.
Take 6 air con units, one generator and fuel to the top of the snow area and that will work. Take a cryo pod and fridge to transport it back.
If you own bobs tall tales, then using a cosmo and haz suit make stealing eggs a breeze! Just lower down to the egg and pull yourself back up!

You can get the eggs on fjordur
They are in a cave on Asgard I will tell step by step how to get them there
1. Get Hazard gear: The cave has radiation so you have to have this gear
2. Get a spino: They are immune to radiation, so it will be a big help
3: Get a flyer of your choice
4. Head to Asgard on fjordur: Go through the portal in the “cave” with the portals
5: Locate the cave: The cave is in the area with the purple trees, locate that cave and suit up (WARNING Shadowmanes are in that area)
6. Go into the cave with your spino
7. Pick off any lone drakes you can find, this will help clear the area of the egg
8. Find a nest, and grab the egg, doing this will make ALL of the drakes in the cave aggro on you, so back into a corner with the spino and fight them off (Or sprint out as fast as you can)
9. Hatch your egg
10. Enjoy the drake!
There are also tan rocks in the abberation cave on main map fjordur, if you mine them they give nameless venom, this can be used to raise the drake.
Try 20 AC units. I thought the game was broken just keep going!!
If you have an egg incubator. Rock drake eggs hatch at -85
Hope this helps
If you wanna raise a baby rock Drake and you don't have nameless venom, you can use a Daedon, just activate the passive curation mode. Take care of the food of the Daedon
