Lesser Antidote — Detailed Guide
Clearing lesser afflictions
Consuming a Lesser Antidote clears Swamp Fever and several other minor ailments in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game's description is short: "Cures Lesser Afflictions!" The ARK Wiki names Swamp Fever, which a 
Diseased Leech can transmit among other sources, as its main use.
What a dose removes
- Swamp Fever
- the Gashed debuff
Dilophosaur venom- Mega Rabies from a
Megalania or an 
Onyc
Afterwards you are immune to picking these effects up again for three minutes, and while the effect lasts a 
Noglin cannot mind control you. The wiki stresses that second point for PvP: on servers that allow caging, being taken over by a Noglin and then caged can do serious damage, so it advises keeping a few antidotes on you and the effect running when fighting in caves or tight spaces.
Crafting it
The engram unlocks at level 18 for 16 engram points. A 
Chemistry Bench can make it, and each craft takes 40 seconds and gives 1 XP. The recipe:
- 10
Rare Flower - 10
Rare Mushroom - 3
Leech Blood or Horns - 1
Narcotic
Woolly Rhino Horns, 
Ammonite Bile or 
Deathworm Horns can stand in for 
Leech Blood. For the blood itself, the wiki mentions the Swamp Cave, where the leeches in its ponds can be killed and harvested in large amounts. Rare Flowers come most easily from beaver dams, though nearby beavers attack the moment you open one; on Ragnarok they also grow wild across the map, and on Valguero they are usually near a beehive.
Shelf life and storage
An antidote spoils after 72 hours, or 3 days. Patch 312.65 lengthened that timer, and the wiki now recommends keeping a stockpile, much as players do with 
Medical Brews. Each one weighs 0.1 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 10. Our records count 65 crate types that can contain it, including Aberration Blue and Aberration Purple, and place it on 14 maps.
