Utility Tips
What is a rock drake used for? rock drake battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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 get the angle right you basically can fly with the drake and if you know how to do right you can keep jumping and bursting into the ground and its highly effective and at getting away from fast flyers and if you on a very hilled, mountainous, caved, or canyoned area even better because you can basically spam it making almost impossible to catch you.
{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!
I discovered that you can hatch Rock Drake eggs in the incubator for pc/console, the temperature needs to be down way down, Set it to -85 and your eggs should hatch, it works for me, I hope that this helps everyone to save time and materials, This is my first time submitting a tip so hopefully I didn't mess it up too badly.
if you just got a rock drake the best place to practice with it is the abberant floating islands in the crystal isles. if you want to practice gliding go to one of the higher up islands and hold shift and press space. the directional controls are through the mouse.(this is for pc). for quick glide make sure your close to something and the crosshair appears through aming at a wall easily accessible through your current direction, then press left click. for climbing you need to be on a vertical wall and face up for going down and down for goingg up. c is used for going invisible... when you learn them you can go on wyvern and rockdrake runs with them. they are very good for them
They’re like wyverns in many ways, one of which being that most nothing will attack them whilst riding unless provoked. (With the exception of Nameless and Reapers, because they’re bastards). However, something important to note is that if you have a second passenger (since the saddle is a two seater) anything aggressive that wouldn’t agro on you before — now will. Not sure if this is a bug or what, but the passenger can also get hurt, so be careful.
Good luck out there, survivors.
Appearance: a large lizard-like reptile with huge iridescent feathers on its front legs, tail and head, with bat-wing like ears similar to its distant relative the glowtail, drakes come in many colours, So far I've seen green and orange, red and blue, black and purple and a strange pale shade of green a bit like a very pale poison wyvern. Size: enormous, similar in length to a paraceratherium, around five meters tall, and possibly up to fifteen meters in length. Uses: it's not really a question of "what uses does it have?" It's more a question of "what uses doesn't it have?" Rock drakes can glide vast distances, climb vertically and even upside-down on almost any surface, warn of a nearby reaper with the glowing tips of its feathers, is decent in general combat and can wear plasma-shooting Tek saddles, camouflage making themselves nearly invisible even too other drakes, and glide away or climb a wall if the fight isn't going their way.
You can put the rock drakes in a cryo pod and throw them back out and there will be a high chance of changing its imprint need so when a baby needs nameless venom just do that and if it doesn’t work the first time then do it again. Works for all Dino’s with special imprint needs
