Artifact of the Pack

A cave artifact for portal tributes

Several portal tributes in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended call for the Artifact of the Pack, and our records list it as an artifact that drops in caves. The in-game text reads: "Stronger than any lone creature, one may die but the pack will survive. Only one of these may be carried at a time by an organism." In other words, one carrier can hold no more than a single copy at once.

Portals that take it

Each recipe on our list asks for exactly one artifact. Our records count 16 tributes that use it in ASA and 15 in ASE. Both games list the Generate Broodmother Portal, the Generate Dragon Portal, the Center portals for easy, medium and hard, and the Generate Megapithecus Portal together with its Alpha, Beta and Gamma versions. In ASA the list further holds the Nunatak and Thodes the Widowmaker portals in Alpha, Beta and Gamma, plus the Generate Grendel (Gamma) Portal. The ASE list includes the Generate Crystal Wyvern Queen (Alpha) Portal, the Generate Dinopithecus King (Gamma) Portal, the Ragnarok portals for easy, medium and hard, and the Portal to the Guardian's Sanctuary (Gamma). The ARK Wiki connects the artifact with the Megapithecus summon on The Island.

Weight and where it turns up

The artifact weighs 5 and has a stack size of 1. Our map data names Aberration for it. One crate type can contain it as well: the Island Artifact Pack, which is recorded for The Island, The Center, Astraeos, Ragnarok and Valguero.
