What are tips for rock drake? Tips and strategies for rock drake in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When you get the egg you get shoved out of the nest and a 4 legged chicken lizard charges you down where you need around 180% speed to escape... not fun
It's quite easy if you know how to do it. First, get a decent megalosaurus or spino (I used a wild tamed meg with 382% damage), you can easily get to the trench from the element falls. Then, pick ONE egg that you are targeting. Kill the rock drakes around it. Make Zipline paths to that one nest and grab the egg. Zipline back to your mount and run. If a rock drake attacks you before you are on the zipline, use an apprentice or higher shotgun to kill it. Good luck survivor! Enjoy your rock drake!
Rock drakes arw one of the best dinos probably top 5 in ab it’s just annoying you have to get a lots of acs caves is good health high melees good caves probably no1 use in ab fjordur 3 or 2 gliding relay good not maewing hut good other than acs snf stealing the egg no complaints
I got six with an andrewsarcus
Everyone forgets to mention that in the drake cave you will get radiation poisoning and fast so before going in I would consider crafting some hazmat gear
In one of the explorer notes of Mei Yin, she wrote that she tamed one of these guys with KO method using tranq arrows
The megalosaurus is good for raiding the rock drake trench but it cant jump up the ledges. The spino is better than the mega in every way. The karkinos is a great choice it can jump over the ledges but you will get stuck in mid air and the karkinos cant attack when in mid air, bring a shotgun if using a crab, it will also take forever for you to get back up. The reaper is the best choice in aberration strong as the spino but can jump like karkinos. The absolute best choice is the tek hover skiff.
This creature is very handy because if it’s abilities here are them all:
1(with tek saddle) shoot bullets out off its armor
2 invisibility makes the creatures texture look like glass and makes it hard to see(tip go stang right next to something otherwise it wil be blurry and you will be spotted very fast
3 glide jump while running makes you fly but you can fly infinite it’s like a glider or elytra from Minecraft
4 acceleration glide when gliding gain some speed eventually you wil discover a crosshair in the middle of your screen if you bite when this happens you will shoot with high speed into the crosshairs direction
5 bite when you press LT or lmb you will perform a short range attack dealing big damage
6 climbing press rt to activate climb mode what makes you climb anything

(This is my favourite creature and I love it 💛🧡💙🤍
If you have the ability to go to genesis I highly recommend you tame a bloodstalkers for one of these litteraly 5 minutes ago I got my first Drake egg with a bloodstalke and it was lvl 185. Keep in mind it was official small tribes
Use climbing pick's to climb up to a nest and make sure that there are no Drake's then take the egg and glide out on a wingsuit. You can out-glide a Drake.Stay clear of the water and a have a shoulder pet to stop the Nameless. Have a hazard suit on and you need like 20 air conditioning units to make it hatch. Feed it Nameless venom to raise.
Best method for stealing eggs: Tame 2 megalosaurus (opposite gender) and breed them. Your imprinted baby will be the one you ride on. Then, you take your imprinted megalo and the opposite gender for mate boost. Btw each megalo should have at least 14k hp and 320 melee. Use this method for easy first drake.
I highly recommend getting a Desmodus to steal Rock Drake eggs from Fjordur. At night you can fly in while invisible and land next to a nest without any aggro. Once you get an egg, in can quickly fly out of the cave again!
Easiest way to get a Rock Drake:
On Fjordur, go to Asgard
Look for the purple/pink trees
There should be a cave on the edge of the Aberrant forest
(You would need a hazard suit)
Bring any hard-hitting dino
(Even a Rex can fit into the cave)
Clear the cave and collect the eggs
The cave is flat and the ceiling is low so you wouldn’t need to climb
Nameless venom can be found the the aberrant cave on Fjordur (56.5 84.6)
There are orange and black rocks around the cave
(Bring a strong dino cause there are Drakes and Karinos)
One nameless should be enough for a drake
Remember Drake eggs need to be VERY cold
These spawn on extinction as CORRUPTED rock drakes
On Fjordur use doedi in abberant cave to harvest these orange stones…
Bring good tame to clear the cave
Hope this helped 😁
Instead of just using a million AC’s just use an egg incubator, it’s cheaper in terms of metal.
I just tamed one be careful, they take like 21 AC‘s to hatch.
8 air conditioners 5 otters, don't forget otters hatch eggs. Otters cheaper then A/C.
