ARK: Survival Ascended – Dossier of Fasolasuchus

The developers of ARK: Survival Evolved have unveiled a new creature to mark the survival title’s birthday, and it’s now getting an in-depth dossier: Fasolasuchus.

When will Fasolasuchus come into the game?

The creature will come into the game with the release of the Unreal Engine 5 remake ARK: Survival Ascended and will be found on the map of the Scorched Earth expansion from then on.

Wild

This wasteland’s full of surprises, and not exactly the good kind. There’s something out here that looks like Fasolasuchus, if those proto-crocs could swim through sand like water…

These beasts might pop up suddenly to ambush you, or swim around you fast enough to catch you in a sand-whirlpool. I can’t stress enough how dangerous this deathtrap can be! Plus their tails are strong enough to whip up sand to blind predators and prey alike.

If you can help it, I recommend staying clear of those spikes. I think they’ve got acid glands at the base of their spiny fins, and in their mouths as well. Their caustic bite seems to melt through the thickest hide.

Domesticated

One of these monster sand-swimmers would make a great mount, but good luck slowing down something that can shrug off most narcotics. You could try softening one up with explosives, grabbing a spike, and steering it into a rock… But you’d have to be a bit mental to try.

I imagine the adrenaline junkies able to tame a Fasolasuchus would earn themselves a formidable ride through these scorching sands. They seem to have adapted to fighting larger prey, so I’d advise any faso-rider to steer clear of packs of smaller creatures that can swarm over its defenses.
