What is a rock drake used for? rock drake battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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.
{first defense scenario}
Scenario: the allos are the first to come in, and are already buffed with the energized buff from the yuty. There are 30 of them, and the tek turrets and velonasaurs are hard at work mowing them down. By the time they reach the titano, there are only ten left, separated into two packs of five. The allos are taken down within seconds, but the titano has been equipt with the bleeding effect. This slows it down, allowing the daedons and yuty to catch up. They are hardly able to do anything about being brought down by the turrets, but they now have your new coordinates and the quetz dropships are near. 30 seconds later, the quetz dropships arrive and they turn out to be escorted by tek saddles taps. They are easily killed, but you are bombed by the quetz’s dodobombs. This clears out the top part of your base, and deals massive damage to the titano. The quetz are eventually taken out by the tropeos and drakes, but you have heavy casualties. Up for more of these!
