Mutagel — Detailed Guide
A Genesis: Part 2 resource for Tek Stryders
Mutagel is a resource from the Genesis: Part 2 DLC in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game calls it "Rare mechanochemical substance derived from Mutagen. Use with caution to tame autonomous Stryders." It has two uses: taming 
Tek Stryders, and crafting 
Mutagen.
Gathering it
Ambergris asteroids: it comes up together with Ambergris on these asteroids, which the rings mark with white supply drops. A 
Mantis wielding a 
Metal Pick, with its levels put into damage, can pull up to 80 per rock.- Black pearl asteroids: it is an occasional extra when mining
Black Pearl in the space area, where orange supply drops show the way. A 
Mining Drill works best here, and a 
Whip is a reasonable fallback. - Below Rockwell's heart: when the acid drains from the pool under the heart in the Innards biome, mutagel nodes appear that can be picked by hand like stones, generally 101 at a time. Each gives 1 by hand or with a Whip; a Mining Drill doubles that and the
Excavation Rig of Tek Stryders triples it.
Crafting in both directions
At a 
Chemistry Bench, 4 Mutagen can be turned back into 408 Mutagel; our records give that craft 5 seconds and 1 XP. The other way round, our records list 200 Mutagel as the cost of one Mutagen.
Weight and mission loot
Mutagel weighs 0.1 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 10. Missions on Genesis Part 2 are another source: 36 crate types can contain it, covering the easy, medium and hard rewards of missions such as 'Bulbdog Fetch' and 'Circuit Chase'.
