ARK: Genesis Part 2 introduces a vast contiguous world filled with strange new biomes, story missions, and exotic creatures! The final confrontation between the spritely HLN-A and the villainous Sir Edmund Rockwell occurs on a gigantic colony ship traveling through deep space. Players will need to draw on all their ARK experience to succeed. ARK's largest Expansion Pack yet has game-changing additions for every kind of Survivor: whether it's taking possession of enemies via brain-controlling "Noglin" creatures, zooming around doing radical tricks on the skateboard-like Hoversail, or managing and viewing your base remotely with security cameras, among tons of other new items and creatures! This expansion pack also introduces new voiceover talent to the ARK universe with David Tennant (Doctor Who, Good Omens) playing the villainous Sir Edmund Rockwell, and Madeleine Madden (The Wheel of Time, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) taking on the in-game robotic AI companion HLN-A/Helena Walker. But even with HLN-A's help, will your powerful skills, gear, and tames be sufficient to put a stop to Rockwell's demented plans once and for all? We're about to find out because The End is Near! TLC Pass #3 TLC Pass 3 finds its way marching through the ARK with some tender loving care for some old friends; the Mammoth and Stegosaurus have received varied gameplay and visual upgrades! This update also includes a bunch of Quality of Life changes to make your time on the ARK more enjoyable! Patch Notes TLC: Woolly Mammoth New Abilities War Drum Saddle and Buff 1 additional passenger seat on a saddle that comes equipped with a war drum that must be played to maintain an AoE buff that improves stamina regen and makes them immune to fear. New Attacks Tusk Sweep Sweeps tusks left or right to gather and harvest thatch Trunk Trumpet Emits a trunk roar that does an AOE debuff to all enemies within range After stepping in water, the next Trunk Trumpet used by the Mammoth will spray the rider with water, hydrating them, removing fire debuffs, and reducing their temperature. Foot Stomp Mammoth rears up and then puts all of its weight into a forward “slam” with its front legs to directionally knock back enemies and gather wood Trunk Grab Similar to the Karkinos’s grab, it is able to grab, hold, aim and release smaller targets Stegosaurus New Abilities Backplate Modes Backplate passive buff and can switch between three modes.

i like am looking fowled to all the new stuff and biome 04 i like it and for the egg incubator can you fit more than one egg

Neat, hopefully the Fed tek suit can be used even on the current one as a sudo upgrade by making it not cost element. also breedable basilisks would be nice.

nice

That’s my homeworld theory. I think Ark 2 is either gonna be in the element homeworld or a prequel. (If they do ARK 2 (they probably will ARK was a huge success but it was made on a faulty foundation, this would be their chance to have the same success but with a better foundation.)

Ark meets Horizon Zero Dawn

Heck yes! David Tenant!?! That is awesome!

So excited for everything! Great job Wildcard! Please do a TLC 4 sooner then in 2 years. And do more than 2 creatures! But thank you for what we did get:)

I bought the Season Pass the moment Gen 1 came out. (Didnt get my cosmetics but oh well) So rockwell wants another go? That son of a bitch gave me a real run for my money on Aberration on Alpha. And again in Gen1. Now he plants to break my determination again? This game has beaten me senseless time and time again. It has broken my spirit a few times but i still completed every main story map without the help of outsider dinos (but outsider items). I finally beat this game and rockwell wants to claw the nail right out? Thats fine. Cause i'll hammer it in twice as hard!

8 1/2 hours into the stream with right around 117k raised. Holy crap, guys, that's awesome. TLC 3 and Genesis 2 is looking cool AF, but this is off the charts.

I'm the only one worried about the quote "The End is Near"? I would like to know that this is not the last DLC and that work on the Ark will continue ...

David Tennant ? I did NOT see that one coming.

SP, The island Made huge advances in my quest to finish the first story ark. Still a long way to go, but it’s been a while since I made this much progress. My husband went away for 9 days for work, I don’t think I’ve ever played so much in such a short time. It was truly a nice time. I’ll summarize my activities in a list, because if I wrote it in story mode it would be way too long. - Tamed a pair of beautiful Theris (max level for my difficulty setting). These will be my boss army breeders. I have yet to really get balls-deep into breeding, but there’s enough YouTube videos out there to help me stack mutations. I tamed both of them directly in front of one of my remote outposts near the southern islets, couldn’t have been a more comfortable tame process! - Completed 3 more caves, now I have 5 artifacts in total. I had some drama in the upper south cave, when going to grapple across the water to the artifact hallway, I accidentally shot way off and ended up in a cluster of Onyc. I lost my otter and my stuff. Instead of being discouraged, I went and tamed another otter, made more gear, found my bary in the cave, killed the bats and got my stuff (and the artifact, of course!). - Got a female Bary to breed with my current caving Bary, in case I lose another one. This way I’ll have spares! Tamed her in the exact same spot as the theris! - I had issues in the Northwest cave (skylord). The artifact wasn’t there (I was expecting that) but then I got attacked by some Onyc and ran towards the entrance until I died. No worries, I was just a few steps from my bed and storage boxes. But - when I went to go get my corpse, it had fallen thru the world and I couldn’t get to it. I’ve been playing as vanilla as humanly possible, but this was a game error and normally I’d be able to get my stuff back. So, I spawn it all in using gfi codes 😕 not too happy about that but I feel I was justified. - Expanded my very primitive kitchen and workshop, opened it right up and put greenhouse walls on one side so I could overlook my pond when I’m crafting. my base is at hidden lake, house is built into the side of the cliffs so it’s really scenic. Low-level me picked well, I would use this spot again. I think I’m gonna have to do some research before I attempt any new adventures. Or, maybe I’ll get into my theri breeding. I’m just dreading the countless hours of waiting, hatching and imprinting. (Any tips on how to best spend my time inbetween these activities? Do you guys just craft stuff or watch tv while you wait?) thats all for now, looking forward to any suggestions if you have any!

What's the config line for hexagon rewards multiplier and where does it go (game.ini or GUS)?

too much tek stuff tbh it will make the game weird

They said it is a skin, so it'll be a utility skin like the glider suit it might even have no armor value since it goes over other armor, so you can upgrade without affecting the tek suit bonuses. It makes me a bit sad because that means we can't use other skins with it though. They just revealed the Rockwell's Innards biome too, and said that it's a core part of the story (like that wasn't obvious by the name.) Those eyes we saw growing out of the walls and floor earlier were all Rockwell's for sure.
