ARK: Survival Evolved Genesis Part 2 Guide- Space Adventure

ARK GENESIS PART 2 GOES TO INFINITY & BEYOND

Greetings fellow adventurer! In our expeditions into the ARKs of ARK: Survival Evolved, we’ve been greeted by many distinctive areas from deadly volcanic mountains, a simulated corrupt reality, to the more docile beautiful flowing islands, bringing mystery and excitement to all that experience these lands. ARK Genesis Part 2 is the last DLC for ARK:SE and with it comes an expedition unlike any other with a massive colony ship in outer space, featuring terrifying new bosses, more missions similar to ARK Genesis, and vast areas full of life and corruption.

In the wake of learning more about this corruption, our research team is putting efforts towards understanding the Genesis colony ship and uncovering the dark secrets behind how the corruption came to be in deep space. To assist in our mission, we invite you to join us as we ride into space to explore ARK Genesis Part 2, learn about the newest creatures, and fight back against the corruption that lies ahead inside of our ARK: Survival Evolved server!

UNCOVERING THE ARK GENESIS PART 2 MAP

OVERVIEW

Starting the Genesis Part 2 excursion to learn more about the map, we noticed the map contained a ship with rings on each side showing two vastly different areas. On the left side of the map, we observed a mountainous corrupted garden full of dastardly creatures. On the right though, it was the complete opposite with lush forests, flowing rivers, and tall mountains full of life. To get started with our exploration, we will be beginning our research in the Eden Zone!

DISCOVER THE CREATURES OF GENESIS PART 2

During our journey through each area, our team uncovered many curious new creatures on the Genesis ship from gentle mechanical giants, carnivorous plants, and dangerous tigers that can go invisible! Below, review each of our encounters and the information we learned about each of these unique creatures.

R-CREATURES

R-Creatures were both a welcoming and terrifying type of creature that we were ecstatic to find inside ARK Genesis Part 2. Researching them, we learned that R-Creatures have different color patterns compared to their original forms and all of the creatures had a 5% increased damage but in turn 3% less health once tamed. Our team captured several R-Creatures to assist in any trecherous boss battles that were ahead of us!

TECHNOLOGICAL CREATURES

TEK STRYDER

A large mechanical beast, we discovered Stryders while inside of the Eden Zone. Deer-like, Stryders appeared to be able versatile in supporting a large number of attachments even including two random non-removable attachments in the wild with everything from shield generators and pulse cannons to excavators and radars. Taming the creature was not easy as we first required Mutagel in our 0 hotbar and some missions be completed first. Once we performed those activities, we were then required to hack it in areas where electrical sparks would shoot out and then play a minigame successfully, repeating this until the Stryder was tamed. Thanks to the many attachments and features the Tek Stryder supported, in the end it was well worth it being an extremely useful member of our team!

EXO-MEK

The Exo-Mek was a powerful vehicle we discovered shortly after our fight with the final boss. Upon beating the boss, we received a Tekgram which would allow us to create an unassembled Exo-Mek and deploy it getting an Exo-Mek. Having an Exo-Mek allowed us to have a wide range of utilities as long as it had Element in its inventory to use as it helped us with combat, carrying various structures, storage of items and structures, and even RTS mode for viewing, pointing out creatures, and issuing orders to move and attack locations. That and the many other benefits the Mek provided made it possible to experience the harder versions of missions and bosses!

ARK GENESIS PART 2 BOSSES

ROCKWELL NODE

These nodes were semi-bosses we faced in our battles in Genesis, appearing during a mission called Terminus and during the final fight against the boss Rockwell Prime. In our fights, purple-colored super tentacles would appear in the area and we were required to destroy them before we could attack the Rockwell Node. Due to the heavy amount of damage needed to destroy these nodes, using an Exo-Mek helped immensely in our fight until all of the Rockwell Nodes were destroyed.

ROCKWELL PRIME

Seeing the monster first hand when we entered ARK Genesis Part 2 for the first time, we knew the boss would be deadly but we did not expect this. Remaining in a cocoon and invincible, we had to fend off attacks while taking down the four Rockwell Nodes that were on the left and right side of the area. Once taking down the nodes, Rockwell Prime showed itself in its full glory coming out of the cocoon on a throne. Upon coming out of the cocoon, our Exo-Meks were immediately destroyed and we were required to use all of our weapons to slay this monster. After a long battle, we had won and uncovered the final secrets of the ARK Genesis II map!

HYPERSPACE IN GENESIS PART 2

In our exploration, our team happened upon a rather peculiar event that occurred while we were in the middle area performing reconnaissance of the creatures within there. The event called hyperspace, which only occurred once per night, would cause the sky to turn purple as missions of stars passed by the ship until the ship would stop at a new location. It seemed that the ship was attempting to find a habitable planet, and with each movement the asteroids and their positions would change inside the -Space- area. After each change, we evaluated the asteroids around the ship and discovered that the resources they would provide changed drastically at each location often giving us a wide variety of extremely useful resources including gems, element shards, and ore nodes for our expedition!

ARK GENESIS PART 2 MISSIONS

Our investigation through ARK Genesis Part 2 showed us that missions were back, a similar feature that we had seen while we were inside of Genesis Part 1. Traversing each section of the Genesis ship, mission terminals were scattered throughout where our team members were able to accept missions to complete for various rewards. Each mission was unique, with some missions involving racing dinosaurs, performing an investigation, and even killing dangerous beasts on the map. Completing these missions ended up being a requirement to being able to take on the final area and boss of ARK Genesis Part 2 and uncovering the secrets behind this ship.
