About Ark Primal Nemesis

Ark Primal Nemesis is a large overhaul mod for ARK: Survival Ascended, supported on all platforms. It reworks and expands the creature roster and makes the game harder, so it suits players looking for a tougher and longer progression than vanilla.

  • More than 1,000 custom-designed creatures, each with its own special attacks, plus tiers above the vanilla Alpha.
  • A boss hierarchy with more than 25 new bosses, tiered boss fights and loot bosses.
  • New resources, items, armor and tools, along with charms, quests, an evolution system and MMO-style loot.
  • Builds on ARK's trait system and includes a gene trait gun that does not need Bob's Tall Tales.
  • Load order: Primal Nemesis should be first in the mod list; when paired with Ark Supreme, place Supreme after it.

It runs on official and modded maps, but its creatures follow each map's spawns, so a map without a species will not spawn the Nemesis version of it either.
