Alpha Raptor Claw — Detailed Guide

Proof of an alpha kill

Taken from a slain Alpha Raptor, the Alpha Raptor Claw is a trophy resource found in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description puts it simply: "This trophy proves your worth as a hunter." It is used as an entry requirement for the Tek Cave.

Getting the claw

Once an Alpha Raptor is dead, open its inventory before harvesting the body for meat and hide, and the claw is there. If the carcass is harvested before anyone looks inside, or another predator eats it, the claw lands in a bag on the ground instead.

What it unlocks

Entering the Tek Cave on Beta or Alpha difficulty requires one claw. Our records show it in 2 recipes in each game, Access Tek Cave (Beta) and Access Tek Cave (Alpha), each taking 1 claw. In ASE the ARK Wiki lists two more uses: starting a Mastercraft, and starting an Ascendant Rift through a Rift Generator.

Weight and records

A claw weighs 2 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 200. Our loot data holds one entry for it, named Alpha Raptor, and our records place it on 8 maps: The Island, Scorched Earth, Extinction, Lost Colony, The Center, Astraeos, Ragnarok and Valguero.
