What are tips for rock drake? Tips and strategies for rock drake in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I've tried to get eggs with a managarmr with 4200 Stam and with the mushroom brew (alot of them and they don't stack) its a breeze to get to the eggs, but getting back out of the radiation zone without killing the mana is hard. If you're gonna use a mana for this, level up Stam to 5k+ atleast. Good luck
You can use egg incubators instead of a billion air cons, though the preferred temperature of the rock drake eggs are -85.0, you can adjust the temperature of it by holding for options and going to temperature control.
Aberrant spinos are the easiest way to get eggs, also bring an extra hazard suit cause they lose durability quickly.
In the rock drake cave in Fjordur the drakes give a lot of eggs. I got 12 eggs in one go from them.
EDIT : Venom gives 400 food, has 5h spoil in preserving bin and 2h in dino. Drake will eat at 10-18% of max food (for its first eat). Algorithm: (max food) × .10 or .18 = (first eat). Drake below adolescent drain 1 food per 11 seconds. Drake adolescent or above drain 1 food per 22 seconds. Algorithm: (current food) x (seconds) = (time until depleted).
Is you want to tame a rock drake on fjourdur then you will need 2 people so tame a gallimimus with good health stamina and weight then head over to the rock drake den and run in with the galli your friend should get of and get the egg before running for your lives
Rock Drake's are very tanky, if your gonna be using a Ravager be sure to avoid fighting them.
You need to run up your electric bill for all the damn air conditioners you need to hatch one of these Mfs
Ok so I have a lot of drakes and I know how to raise them easily.
If your on aberration:
if you have an adult drake, reaper, or megalosaurus and hazmat go into the blue zone and head for the purple forest area that’s where I normally get nameless venom. When you find them start killing them but always leave 1 left to be the orange leader guy. Then it will spawn more nameless and you can kill them down to 1 again if you have a nameless trap then get 1 in that and kill the rest.
On any other map:
You will need a snow owl or a daedon and heal it once it is low go I recommend venom raising rather than this because you might have to watch it most of the time.
Once adult:
Drakes are awesome and all that but here’s some things I like to do with them
1. So with good stamina drake you can glide around for ages and look for things to tame
2. I have a lvl 395 drake and he’s my favorite drake and has some nice stats and I use him to well get more nameless venom lol
3. Scare friends, invisibility for the win! Fly invisible into a friends base after having a friend open up. It could scare them but I like that because it’s a ragnarark server
I play on switch so I hope this helps idk if it’s different on other platforms.

I will explaim here best method for rock drakes eggs for me:
Sooooo, tame 2 high level karkinos and light pet, get 2 sets of hazmat suit, 4 climbing picks and glide suit.
Cryopod karkinos(you can make cryopods in loot crates) and goto the edge of green zone.
You should spot there some wierd rings under the celing. Jump and glide true them to red zone. In this zone while flying you should spot a place that js black and yellow, go there and find a safe spot on some rocks.
Now trow one of the karkinos and go find a good lvl egg. If you found one trow from cryopod second karkinos an take egg, every rock dreke will now attack you but with two crabs you should kill them all. Now you can take all the eggs.
Get out from nest area and cryopod karkinos, start climbing with climbing pick to top. When all pick are broken spot a path and trow one karkinos( you should be close to blue zone now) then go back home true the path.
Hope this helps and sorry abut all mistakes but engilsch is not my natuve languege
For Fjordur players: These are found in Asgard (middle portal) and in a cave of radiation (you will need a hazard suit). To get an egg without being touch by any rock drakes, use a desmodus (immune to radiation). Enter the cave at night and use invisibility. Find the egg you want then grab it quickly, hop straight back onto the desmodus and get away from the floor and walls and go straight for the exit. Extremely effective.
Also you can get nameless venom in the aberration cave (coordinates= 57.2 lat, 85.1 lon). Desmodus is also effective here. Hope this helps.
To raise a baby i use maewing feeding option, it worked for me!!
This thing is one of the BEST traveling dinos you can have, it can glide, climb, walk/run, and swim pretty easily! Not to mention it does decent damage, I recommend putting stam, hp, and melee damage on it. Use oxygen if you want to be underwater more often but it isn’t a good aquatic creature.
People just use mushroom brew it will protect your creatures from radiation for 2 mins plus it's super easy to make.
