Stego Bone Costume

A skeleton look for the Stegosaurus

The Stego Bone Costume turns a tamed Stegosaurus into a skeleton lookalike in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its in-game description: "This costume can be used to make your Stego look just like a skeleton! Spoopy!"

Skeletal Stegos and other sources

Skeletal Stegos drop the costume while ARK: Fear Ascended or ARK: Fear Evolved is running. Per the ARK Wiki, these appear at random around The Island and are very rare, on a par with Alpha Predators; killing one and looting the body gives the costume. The wiki adds a second route: during the ARK: ARKaeology event, a Cooking Pot can craft it.

In ASE there is also an achievement route: completing the Beginner Explorer Achievement unlocks the costume, and from then on it sits in the inventory each time you respawn. Our loot records list 2 crates that can contain it, Skeletal Stego and Candy Corn B (Fear Evolved Event).

Its history before the achievements

Before patch 258.0 and the current achievements, the wiki says the costume could be had only while ARK: Fear Evolved or ARK: Fear Evolved 2 was running, from rare Skeletal Stegosaurus spawns on The Island. At those events it also served as an ingredient for the Witch Hat Skin. The version that added the costume is 221.0.

Weight and maps

It weighs 0, stacks to 1 and gives 1 XP when crafted. Our records list it on 6 maps: The Island, Aberration, Extinction, The Center, Ragnarok and Valguero.
