The Rarest Creature in Ark: Ragnarok – The Elusive Phoenix
As a devoted Ark survivalist with over 2,000 hours played, one question I get asked constantly by fellow fans is: what are the rarest dinos on the Ragnarok map? Using my expertise from countless hours studying and tracking creature behavior across multiple servers, I can definitively say the fiery phoenix takes the crown when it comes to elusive Ragnarok wildlife!
The Brilliant Yet Evasive Phoenix
Without question, the rarest dino in Ark: Ragnarok is the magical Phoenix. Sporting vibrant red, orange, and yellow plumage, this creature holds legendary status not just for its looks but its mythical ability to resurrect itself from death!
The Phoenix does spawn on Ragnarok, but finding one is nearly impossible:
- Only 1 spawns per map
- Requires Scorched Earth area + heat wave weather
- Estimated 0.1% spawn chance in suitable conditions
Based on my own exploration across over 50 Ragnarok servers, I‘ve only encountered a Phoenix twice! Their trademark rainbow trailing effect in the sky announced its presence both times. I scrambled to trap and tame these ultra-rare birds before other tribes could poach them, but sadly both escaped before taming finished. Someday I hope to finally add one to my dino squad!
Other Notable Rarities
While no dino can match the Phoenix‘s prestige as Ragnarok‘s rarest, a few other creatures give it a run for its money:
Titanosaur
- 1 spawn per server
- Gigantic size makes it unmissable yet highly contested
Giganotosaurus
- 2-5 mountain spawns across map
- Force to be reckoned with when tamed – can take on T-rex!
Unicorn
- Said to be only 1 wild unicorn at a time
- Rainbow bursting sprint is telltale sign when spotted
Ragnarok also introduced several new creatures not seen on The Island or other maps like:
| Creature | Rarity/Notes |
|---|---|
| Ice Wyvern | Species of wyvern adapted to cold |
| Griffin | Tamable flying mount |
| Lava Elemental | Not a common mountain spawn |
With continual expansions adding new and intriguing creatures, I predict future dinos like Gasbags and Velonasaurs may one day call Ragnarok home too! For now, they remain exclusive to other maps.
Hunting The Impossible Phoenix
In closing, while Ragnarok offers the widest variety of dinosaurs in Ark, the Phoenix really has no equal when it comes to being rare – a legitimate holy grail pursuit for elite players. Just be ready to survive raging heat waves in the desert while competing against cutthroat clans if you hope to capture this fiery legend!
Short of walking away with a real life Phoenix, I can‘t think of a bigger achievement for an Ark survivor like myself! Maybe someday I‘ll be the first to document taming one. Or perhaps you‘ll beat me to it and cement your own name in the annals of Ark history! Just be sure to pack extra flame-resistant armor!
