Taming creatures in ARK Survival Ascended<\/a> may seem straightforward in theory, but in practice, it can be a challenging endeavor, particularly as you aim to tame more formidable creatures. Fortunately, the game offers advanced taming items and foods to mitigate the increased difficulty, with Mutton being a particularly effective choice. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re looking to enhance your taming efforts using this meat, you’re in the right place. Below, you’ll find a comprehensive guide on obtaining Mutton in ARK Survival Ascended and the optimal ways to use it for taming creatures or even as sustenance for your survivor.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Obtain Mutton in ARK: Survival Ascended<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mutton, also known as Raw Mutton, stands out as a premium meat source in ARK: Survival Ascended, particularly for expediting the taming process<\/a> of carnivores with enhanced speed and Taming Effectiveness compared to Raw Prime Meat. To acquire Raw Mutton, your primary target will be the Ovis, sheep-like creatures scattered across the island, albeit in limited numbers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mutton can be harvested from the Ovis, which are rare and hard to find, but are mostly found in the northern area of the Island map. (Picture: Shane \/ Studio Wildcard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even in their most prevalent habitat, the northern snow biome, locating and defeating these creatures for their valuable Mutton can be challenging. To optimize the harvesting process, consider employing creatures like the Yutyrannus, T-Rex, Direwolf, Sarco, or Therizinosaur, renowned for their efficient Mutton collection<\/strong> capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you opt for taming using the aforementioned creatures, ensure they have sufficient food in their inventory to prevent them from consuming the Mutton inadvertently. With these insights into gathering and harvesting Mutton, let’s now delve into its applications within the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uses of Mutton in ARK: Survival Ascended<\/span><\/h2>\n

While Kibble<\/a> typically stands out as the preferred choice for creature taming, Mutton serves as an excellent alternative, especially for early-game players lacking a steady supply of Kibble. Offering a quicker taming process than other meats, Mutton becomes particularly valuable for creatures without a specific Kibble preference, allowing players to reserve their Kibble for other dinos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mutton is the ideal replacement for Kibble when taming carnivorous dinosaurs. (Picture: Shane \/ Studio Wildcard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One drawback to be mindful of is that Mutton, like many food items in the game, spoils rapidly. Consequently, you must harvest and utilize the meat promptly after incapacitating the carnivore you intend to tame. Alternatively, having a refrigeration unit<\/a> can prolong the meat’s shelf life.<\/span><\/p>\n

When fed to a dinosaur, Raw Mutton replenishes approximately 50 points of Food and provides 187.5 Affinity. Once cooked, Raw Mutton transforms into Cooked Lamb Chops, suitable for dinosaur consumption during taming. Moreover, players can consume Cooked Lamb Chops, restoring 100 Health Points.<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, Mutton proves to be a valuable albeit scarce resource in the game, contributing to both the taming process and overall survival. Now equipped with the knowledge of how to harvest and utilize Mutton, you’re ready for your adventures in ARK: Survival Ascended.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
