Behemoth Tek Gateway — Detailed Guide
A Tek frame for giant gates
The Tek Behemoth Gateway, known as 
Behemoth Tek Gateway in ARK: Survival Evolved, is the frame of a giant Tek gate in ARK: Survival Ascended and ASE. In ASA the in-game text reads: "A large composite Tek gateway, reinforced with obsidian polymer, that can be used with a Behemoth Gate to allow even the largest creatures in or out." The ASE text simply calls it a Tek tier behemoth gateway. Paired with the 
Behemoth Tek Gate, it shuts out the world beyond the walls and keeps dinosaurs inside an enclosed area.
Size and the Titanosaur problem
It measures 7 walls across and 12 walls in height. According to the ARK Wiki that lets every creature pass apart from the 
Titanosaur, which does not fit despite what the description promises.
Placing the gateway
No foundation is needed first: the gateway goes straight onto the ground. It does not snap to foundations or to walls already in place, but it does snap to fence foundations. To snap a behemoth gate to a foundation or ceiling, the wiki says to put a fence foundation on top of or beneath that piece, with a total width of 8 foundations. Platform Saddles and Rafts will not take it. Once it stands, a Behemoth Tek Gate goes into the opening and can be locked, so access is restricted while you and your dinosaurs still get through.
Tekgram and crafting cost
The Tekgram for it is a boss reward. Among its crafting stations the wiki lists the 
Exo-Mek; a craft takes 120 seconds (2 minutes), gives 88 XP and needs:
- 2200
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 500
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule - 140
Crystal or 
Primal Crystal - 40
Element or 
Red Element
Each gateway weighs 4, and only 5 fit in one stack, which then weighs 20. Loot can supply it too: 14 crate types can contain one, such as the Astraeos Orbital Hard and Legendary crates and the hard crates of missions on Genesis Part 2 like Downriver Run and Ferox Cull. Our records list it on 14 maps.
What can harm it
It counts as a Tek structure. According to the wiki, only explosives, Tek Saddles, the 
Tek Rifle, the Titanosaur, the 
Arthropluera, the 
DodoRex, titans, bosses, and corrupted or enraged creatures can damage it.
