Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • High health but modest damage — outlast it or kite while chipping it down.

Yeti — Detailed Guide

The Yeti is a snow variant of the Gigantopithecus with much higher base stats. It hits hard and has a large health pool. It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred in ASA or ASE, so it is a creature to fight or avoid rather than collect.

Where to find it

It spawns only in freezing areas, most famously the hard Snow Cave. Both games have it on The Island, The Center and Extinction. ASA also has it on Astraeos and Valguero; ASE also on Crystal Isles and Fjordur.

Uses

Killing it gives Hide and Raw Meat.

Tips

  • Range: fight it with firearms and aim for the head, since headshots deal heavy extra damage. Melee is a bad idea.
  • Aggro: its aggro range is shorter than that of other Snow Cave creatures, so careful players can often sneak past.
