Primal Fear Fey Expansion Guide

Primal Fear Fey Expansion is an add-on for the Primal Fear creature overhaul on ARK: Survival Evolved (Steam mod ID 3530809979). It adds a new tier of creatures, the Fey, which sits at the same level as Primal Fear's Celestial and Demonic tiers. It also brings a new creature, the Dragolf, and new bosses to summon. Our database holds 48 creature entries and 46 items from the mod. Some of those creature entries are technical base classes and minions rather than creatures you meet in the wild.

Before you start

• Primal Fear is required. The expansion does not work on its own: load the main Primal Fear mod next to it. New to Primal Fear? Our community Primal Fear guide covers the main mod.
• Level 85 for the key engrams. The Fey Kibble and both boss summoners unlock at level 85. The summoners also need tributes from the main Primal Fear mod.
• Fey Kibble is the only taming food. The kibble's own description says a Fey creature eats nothing else to be tamed, so plan your kibble production before you go hunting.

The Fey tier

The Workshop page lists twelve Fey creatures, all Fey versions of existing animals plus the new Dragolf. In our data, every one of them has an attack called Rootstorm next to its normal attacks, and almost all of them drop Fey Hide when killed. Fey Hide is the main material for their saddles. Saddles are learned as engrams at the levels below.

A few creatures stand out in the data:

• Fey Tapejara: its saddle has three seats, so it can carry two passengers.
• Fey Megalosaurus: it has separate day and night versions of its bite, grab and shake attacks.
• Fey Pachyrhinosaurus: besides its head attack it has a Camo Cloud and a Rage Cloud.
• Fey Woolly Rhino: on top of Rootstorm it has a second ability, RootstormMeteor.
• Fey Gigantopithecus: its attack list includes harvesting and grabbing and throwing other creatures.

Taming with Fey Kibble

Fey Kibble unlocks at level 85 for 24 engram points. The recipe is a long shopping list, and several of the ingredients come from Primal Fear:

• 5 Fabled eggs and 1 Omega egg
• 5 Cooked Prime Meat and 50 Mejoberries
• 10 each of Citronal, Longrass, Rockarrot and Savoroot
• 25 Fiber
• 5 Primal Blood and 10 Fabled Blood
• 5 each of the Electric, Fire, Ice and Poison Feathers

Our sources do not say how Fey creatures are knocked out, so check that in game or in the Primal Fear guide before you set out.

Harmonizing your Fey

The Fey Harmonization Item turns one of your tamed Fey into a Harmonized version. Do not consume it. Its description says to put it in the inventory and pick Ascend from the multi-use wheel. It is made from 5 Element Dust, 20 Corrupted Polymer, 10 Rare Mushroom and 3 Sap. Our database has a Harmonized form of all twelve Fey creatures, from Harmonized Fey Carnotaurus to Harmonized Fey Woolly Rhino. Our sources do not explain what changes when a creature is harmonized.

The Dragolf

The Dragolf is the expansion's only new species. Besides the Fey Dragolf, it comes in three more tiers: the normal Dragolf, the Alpha Dragolf and the Apex Dragolf. In our data the Alpha, Apex and Fey Dragolf share bite, claw and howl attacks, and the Fey Dragolf adds Rootstorm. Each tier has its own armor, learned at level 47 for 20 points. The four recipes cost the same, except for the hide:

Every Dragolf armor also takes 1,450 Fiber, 1,625 Chitin or Keratin and 1,025 Metal Ingot. There are fertilized eggs for all four Dragolf tiers.

Bosses

The Workshop page lists two bosses, the Fey Carcharodontosaurus Emperor at Tier 3 and the Fey Forest Golem at Tier 5. It also mentions a Loot Turtle saddle boss, which our database does not hold yet. The two boss summoner engrams unlock at level 85 for no engram points, and every summoner takes 40 seconds to craft.

Fey Carcharodontosaurus Emperor

The Fey Carcharodontosaurus Emperor Boss Summoner costs one each of Primal Fear's Argent, Carno, Direbear, Kairuku, Raptor, Rex, Spino and Wyvern Tributes. Its description tells you to aim up into the air before you use it. The boss bites, tail-spins and roars.

A second item, the Fey Carcharodontosaurus Emperor Tameable Summoner, uses the same tribute recipe. According to its description, it brings the Emperor back as a creature that submits to you once you have beaten it. That creature does not keep its boss stats but stays very strong, and it can be knocked out the normal way. The tamed form is listed as Fey Carcharodontosaurus, and it rides with the Fey Carcharo Saddle (500 Hide, 350 Fiber, 180 Metal Ingot and 20 Chitin or Keratin). Fey Emperors drop the Fey Emperor Soul.

Zythara, The Manifested

The Zythara, the Manifested Summon calls up Zythara, The Manifested. It is the expensive one. It takes the same eight Primal Fear tributes plus:

• a Chaos Orb and a Spirit Orb
• 3 Celestial Souls, 3 Demonic Souls, 5 Fey Souls and 5 Primal Souls
• one Emperor Soul each of the Celestial, Fey and Demonic kind
• two more ingredients that our data does not name

In our data, Zythara's attacks are a melee attack, an explosion, a rock throw, a swipe, Rootstorm and Summon Minions. It drops Fey Hide, Fiber, Thatch and Wood, plus the Manifested Soul. Our database also has a rideable Fey Forest Golem, a Forest Golem Armor (475 Celestial Hide, 475 Demonic Hide, 1,450 Fiber, 1,625 Chitin or Keratin and 1,025 Metal Ingot, armor rating 250) and a Fertilized Forest Golem Egg. Our sources do not say how you get a Fey Forest Golem of your own.

Other items

• Magic Charcoal: drag it onto Raw Meat and it becomes Cooked Meat at once. It costs one Wood and takes a second to craft.
• Fey Soul and Fey Emperor Soul: dropped by Fey creatures and Fey Emperors. Both go into the Zythara summon.
• Event items: the mod also carries holiday items: Box o' Chocolates (fully heals a creature or advances its taming), Festive Dino Candy, Valentines Dino Candy, the Bunny Egg (cook it for costumes or place it as decoration), and the Pumpkin, Scarecrow and Stolen Headstone decorations. Our database also lists a Bunny Dodo, Bunny Oviraptor, Dodo Rex, Dodo Wyvern and Coel under this mod.

Tips

• Farm Fey Hide from the first Fey you kill. Every Fey saddle and armor needs hundreds of it.
• Stock up on Fabled eggs, Fabled Blood and the four elemental feathers from Primal Fear before you craft Fey Kibble.
• Keep one of each Primal Fear tribute aside for every boss attempt. Both summoners use the full set of eight.
• Save your Fey Souls, Fey Emperor Souls and Celestial and Demonic souls for the Zythara summon.
• Never consume a Fey Harmonization Item. Use it through the multi-use wheel, as its description says.

Every creature, item and loot drop of the mod is listed on its mod page, with spawn commands.
