Artifact of the Clever — Detailed Guide
An artifact for portal tributes
Tribute recipes in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended call for the Artifact of the Clever, one of the game's artifacts. The ARK Wiki notes that on The Island it serves to summon 
Broodmother Lysrix. Its item text also sets a carrying limit: "Only one of these may be carried at a time by an organism."
Portals that take it
Each recipe uses exactly one artifact. Our records count 14 tributes in ASA and 12 in ASE. Both games share the Broodmother portals (Alpha, Beta and Gamma), the Center portals (Easy, Medium and Hard), the 
Dragon portal and the 
Megapithecus portal. Beyond those:
- Also in ASA: the Generate Natrix The Devious portals and the Generate Nunatak portals, each in Alpha, Beta and Gamma versions.
- Also in ASE: the Generate Ragnarok portals (Easy, Medium and Hard) and the Generate Crystal Wyvern Queen (Beta) Portal.
Finding and carrying it
Our records class it as an artifact found in caves. The one loot container they link to it is the Island Artifact Clever crate, which appears on The Island, The Center, Astraeos and Ragnarok. The artifact weighs 5 and has a stack size of 1.
