Can You Unlock Dinosaurs in Path of Titans?
Yes, players can unlock access to a menagerie of different playable prehistoric creatures in Path of Titans. With over 45 dinosaurs currently available and more stretch goals coming, you‘ll have plenty of beasts to grow and evolve.
How Dinosaur Unlocking Works in Path of Titans
Path of Titans features a growth and progression system that rewards time invested with new dinosaurs and cosmetics. Here‘s an overview:
- You start by selecting one free dinosaur.
- Earn growth points to mature from juvenile through three adult tiers.
- Each growth stage takes incrementally more XP – estimated times below:
| Growth Stage | XP Required | Est. Quests* | Playtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Juvenile | 0 | 0 | 0 min |
| Sub Adult | 240,000 | 80 | 8 hrs |
| Adult | 600,000 | 200 | 20 hrs |
| Elder | 1.5 million | 500 | 50 hrs |
*30 sec growth pts per quest
- Collect in-game marks to purchase embryos of new dinosaurs to unlock.
Unlocking all dinosaurs requires earning marks to purchase new dinosaurs in addition to regular growth progression.
Complete Daily & Weekly Quests
Quests provide the most efficient source of consistent growth points and marks.
- Daily quests – Refresh every 20 hours with 3 new objectives awarding 30s growth, ~500 marks each
- Weekly quests – More challenging long-term goals awarding 5m30s growth, ~5k marks
| Quest Type | Quantity | Frequency | Total Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | 3 | 20 hours | 2m30s, ~1500 marks |
| Weekly | 2 | 7 days | 11m, ~10k marks |
With ideal playtime and planning, you can reasonably achieve over 100 daily quests in 14 days for ~8 hours of growth rewards. Combine that with weekly bonuses, and you can evolve dinosaurs rapidly through the adult tiers.
Exploration Unlocks New Free Dinosaurs
As you explore the expansive maps, you have a random chance to discover hidden nests with free dinosaur DNA samples.
- The odds of nests spawning new free dinosaurs is estimated around 5%.
- Certain high density areas and landmarks see more player traffic and dinosaur activity.
I recommend purchasing cheap herbivores like Dryosaurus to cover ground rapidly searching for nests. Focus exploration along the Southern shores, Northern mesas, and dense Central forests. These hotspots seem to have more success spawning rare nests.
Purchasing Eggs From the Market
While quests and exploration will add to your roster over time, purchasing embryos is the most direct way to unlock whatever dinosaur you have your eye on.
Here are the costs for some of the most in-demand dinosaurs:
| Dinosaur | Type | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Acrocanthosaurus | Large Carnivore | 50,000 |
| Albertaceratops | Small Herbivore | 15,000 |
| Alioramus | Midsize Carnivore | 35,000 |
| Amargasaurus | Large Herbivore | 40,000 |
| Baryonyx | Midsize Carnivore | 30,000 |
Expect to spend 35,000+ marks for many rare popular species. With daily quest income of ~1500 marks, it takes 24 straight days completing all quests to afford a 35k dinosaur!
If there‘s a specific creature you really want sooner, enable livestream monetization in your gameplay settings. Broadcasting gameplay can net you thousands in donations from eager viewers. Though it takes some effort to build an audience, it nicely supplements quest grind income.
Additional Tips for Unlocking Dinosaurs
- Group with high level players for access to daily/weekly quests above your own level for a boost in growth rates
- Once you unlock a dinosaur, you can pay to re-spec its upgrades. So feel free to experiment!
- The Struthiomimus is hands-down the best dinosaur for new players. Great speed and stamina for questing and exploration.
