Rock Drake — Detailed Guide
The Rock Drake is Aberration's reptilian mount. It climbs walls and ceilings, glides, pounces and can turn almost invisible, which makes it one of the most mobile creatures in ARK. Adults cannot be tamed: every Rock Drake comes from a stolen egg.
Where to find it
- Aberration: its main home, in both games.
- Other maps: the Aberration-style zones of Valguero, and Fjordur in ASE.
How to get one
- Steal an egg: take a
Rock Drake Egg from a nest in Aberration's radiation zone. - Keep it cold: the egg needs −90 to −80 °C. It hatches in about 6 hours 15 minutes.
- Raise the baby: it eats
Nameless Venom while it grows, about 3.9 days at 1x in ASE.
Saddles
The 
Rock Drake Saddle unlocks at level 75. There is also a Tek saddle that costs 185 
Black Pearls.
Tips
- Venom: stockpile Nameless Venom before the egg hatches. It comes from killing
Nameless, which spawn in the dark. - Climbing: climbing uses stamina, so level stamina early.
