The Yeti is an Alpha-tier creature in ARK: Survival Evolved, and to-date the only Alpha Herbivore.

Basic Info

With the introduction of the Snow Cave, an Alpha variant of Gigantopithecus was added. These Yetis have significantly higher base stats and are untameable. Due to spawning within a Hard Difficulty cave, they are also guaranteed to spawn at exceptionally high levels - anywhere up to 350!

Behavior

These apes are vicious, terrifying creatures that will decimate any adventurers hoping to step foot inside the cave. Stay clear from them, or use extremely powerful guns and weaponry to slaughter them before they get their powerful hands on you! They are very dangerous!

Appearance

The Yeti always spawns with all its color regions white.

Color Scheme and Regions

The Yeti always spawns with the same color scheme and has no color regions.

This means it is currently impossible to make alterations to the Yeti's natural spawn colors.

Drops

• Raw Meat
• Hide

¹Percentages are based on the value of the stat the moment the creature was tamed (after taming effectiveness)
²The absolute Base Damage is shown here instead of the percentage.
³Wild creatures do not level up movement speed
⁴Torpidity increases every level on wild creatures, but can not be increased once they are tamed.

Combat

This section describes how to fight against the Yeti.

General

Yetis are heavy hitters with a large pool of health. You have to be a glass cannon or a harasser to take them down. Hitting hard with shotguns or Rocket Launchers is highly advised. Mowing down the Yeti is also a great idea ( for larger tribes ). C4, even though its expensive, can take down even a high level Yeti. Of course, you can always use Grappling hooks to stay above it and slowly kill him by shooting Arrows from a Bow, a Crossbow or a Compound Bow.

Strategy

Using guns is highly advised. Melee is a bad idea, but a tribemate with a shield can be invaluable as a decoy while the rest of the tribe shoots the Yeti. A large tribe can use multiple Fabricated Pistols to mow down a Yeti, multiple Yetis are invulnerable to this strategy. Hanging above him with a grappling hook and shooting him down with arrows is a "cheap" alternative.

It is highly advised to bring big mounts such as Rex to defeat them on The Center. The caves containing Yetis on The Center have very big entrances to allow them to enter.

Weaponry

Firearms ( Fabricated or not ) will do the trick, as long as they are Apprentice level, or higher. Melee will get you killed in a matter of seconds. Compound Bows do damage to him, but the ammo is a bit expensive.

Dangers

It has a very powerful attack capable of taking down high level mounts. Fur armor is necessary to survive, but it doesn't absorb much damage, making you an easy, sometimes one-hit, kill.

Weakness

Headshots will be most effective.

Notes

• Released in patch 237.0.
• Within the upcoming TLC Phase 1 patch, Gigantopithecus will recieve armor-degrading attack. However, Yeti do not possess such buff effect.
