Artifact Pedestal — Detailed Guide

A stand for artifacts and trophies

Artifacts, SotF Trophies and the Survivor's Trophy can all be put on show on the Artifact Pedestal, a structure in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its in-game text: "Provides the base upon which you can proudly display an Artifact, among other things!" According to the ARK Wiki it was once called Trophy Base, and also Artifact Pedastal. SotF Trophies are won in Survival of the Fittest tournaments, while the Survivor's Trophy comes from completing the Beta Ascension Achievement.

Putting a trophy on display

To show a trophy, drag it into the pedestal's 'Trophy' slot, found in the same area where a saddle goes when you equip a creature. Taking it down again works in two steps: drag it into the pedestal's inventory first, then from there into your own.

Engram and crafting

The engram unlocks at level 25 and costs 10 engram points. The pedestal needs a single material, 80 Obsidian. A Smithy can craft it, and the ARK Wiki also lists the Exo-Mek, the Tek Replicator and the Argentavis, Castoroides and Thorny Dragon saddles. One craft takes 5 seconds, makes one pedestal and gives 3.7 XP.

Weight, loot and maps

A pedestal weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records count 71 loot crates that can contain one, for example Aberration Blue, Aberration Green and Aberration Surface Blue, and list the structure on 14 maps. The wiki dates it to version 217.0.

What can break it

The pedestal counts as a stone structure, and only a limited list of attacks can damage it. The wiki's list includes explosives (150%), the Cannon (~137%), the Ballista Turret (40%), metal weapons (5%) and the Tek Sword (~218%), along with creatures such as the Titanosaur (~462%), the DodoRex and Dodo Wyvern (300% each), the Dunkleosteus (15%), the Magmasaur and the Roll Rat. Alpha creatures and bosses are listed at 10% each, and a Therizinosaur can only hurt it with its headbutt (~2%). The Giganotosaurus, the Tek Rifle and the Rock Elemental harm stone structures but not auto turrets.
