Choose a route and establish the basics
Guerranera discusses playing with others and links a command-based route. For ordinary play, begin with a full day survived, your first tame and your first mount. Keep the same survivor while checking unlocks. Seeing or attacking a creature does not satisfy taming or riding it.
- Your first day… · You Survived a full day and night on the ARK!
- Your first Dino… · You Tamed a Dinosaur!
- Your first Ride… · You Rode a Dinosaur!
Progress levels and taming
Track maximum survivor and dinosaur levels separately. Riding a Rex and a Giganotosaurus are specific goals. For Master Zoologist, list the creatures required by your version and mark actual tames. Veteran Paleontologist concerns dossiers, a different record.
- Maximum Survivor · You reached the Maximum Survivor Level!
- Maximum Dinosaur · One of your Dinosaur's reached Maximum Level!
- Rex Rider · You rode on the back of a T-Rex!
- Giga Rider · You rode on the back of a Giganotosaurus!
- Veteran Paleontologist · You unlocked the Dossiers of each of ARK's initial Specimens!
- Master Zoologist · You tamed all of the domesticable creatures on the ARK!
Explore the map and collect artifacts
Map Maker requires more than 80% of the minimap. The highest point and ocean floor have separate trophies; prepare for their environments. Artifacts require personal retrieval, not simply receiving one from another player. Cure Swamp Fever for Cure-All.
- Artifact Archaeologist · You personally retrieved all the Artifacts!
- Map Maker · You've uncovered more than 80% of the Mini-Map!
- Highest Peak · You've reached the highest mountain peak of the ARK!
- Lowest Depth · You've reached the bottom of the ARK's oceans!
- Cure-All · You've cured yourself of Swamp Fever!
Defeat the three Ultimate Life Forms
Track each base boss and the combined three-win milestone. For the alternative route cited by the author, check game version, map and session context before following instructions. Ascension and The Center belong to additional groups outside the nineteen base-platinum trophies.
- Veteran Survivor · You defeated ARK's first Ultimate Life Form!
- Expert Survivor · You defeated ARK's second Ultimate Life Form!
- Survivor Evolved · You've defeated ARK's first three Ultimate Life Forms! And yet…
- Master Survivor · You defeated ARK's third Ultimate Life Form!
- Apex Predator · Collect all ARK: Survival Evolved trophies!
