Artifact of the Immune

An artifact for summoning tributes

The Artifact of the Immune is one of the cave artifacts of ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, collected for tribute recipes. Its description reads: "With a mastery of one's equilibrium, no simple poison nor toxin can be a threat." The same text warns that an organism can carry only one at a time. The artifact weighs 5 and does not stack.

Where to look for it

Our records list it as a cave artifact on 5 maps: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero and Astraeos. Our one loot entry for it, Island Artifact Immune, covers the same five maps.

According to the ARK Wiki, it was placed in the Swamp Cave with patch 237.0. Before then it already sat in the game files, unused and named Artifact of the Queen, and for a time it borrowed the model of the Artifact of the Brute. The wiki also cautions that an artifact is not always there to take; in single player especially, it waits out a cooldown before it respawns.

Tributes that call for it

Every recipe that uses the artifact is a tribute, and each takes 1. In ASA our records count 15:

• Generate Dragon Portal and its Gamma, Beta and Alpha versions
• Generate Megapithecus Portal
• the Abyssalus Easy, Medium and Hard tributes
• three portals each for Nunatak and Hydraskos the Unbroken (Gamma, Beta and Alpha)
• Generate Grendel (Beta) Portal

ASE has 11: the same Dragon portals and Megapithecus portal, the Ragnarok portals for Easy, Medium and Hard, plus Generate Crystal Wyvern Queen (Gamma) Portal, Generate Dinopithecus King (Beta) Portal and Portal to the Guardian's Sanctuary (Beta). The ARK Wiki points out that the Dragon tribute uses it at every difficulty.
