Dragon Arena
This page may contain spoilers related to the background-story of ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you want to experience the story ingame, you probably shouldn't continue reading on this page.
The Dragon Arena, also known as Nerva Volcano is an arena for fighting the Dragon boss. The Temperatures are 45 °C / 113 °F so bring good hyperthermal protection. Calien Soup is highly recommended!
Location
The Dragon Arena itself is located beneath the red obelisk (in single player, if you use the 'GHOST' command and float up, it will actually put you below the green obelisk), but the portal to the arena can be opened from any obelisk or Supply Crate unless playing in Single Player mode, in which case the portal can only be generated at the red obelisk.

Temperature
The temperatures can be up to 45 °C or 113 °F, so having good Hyperthermal protection is highly suggested. Consumables such Calien Soup, Shadow Steak Saute, Iced Canteen or Iced Water Jar are recommend to be consumed before and during boss fight. More advanced players can also take advantage of Tek Canteen set in cold mode.
Creatures
Compatible Tamed Creatures
These restrictions do not apply to Extinction arena as the boss fight takes place inside the map rather than in a separate section of the map
Entry Restriction:
- A maximum of 10 survivors and 20 creatures are allowed to enter the arena. In the case of Tek Cave, a maximum of 10 survivors and 40 creatures are allowed, but only 20 creatures can be warped in at any point of time to the arena itself per warp.
- Most Arenas restrict survivors to ground-only creature. There are a few exceptions:
- Scorched Earth - Flyers are permitted in this arena.
- Aberration - Climbers are permitted in this arena. This includes Enforcer, Megalania, Thylacoleo and Rock Drake
- Genesis - Sea Creatures are permitted in Moeder arena, and its drag weights are not considered when warping to the arena.
- Exceptions for certain arenas are only valid for the listed arenas. E.g. Manticore Arena refers to the Manticore Arena in Scorched Earth but not Ragnarok Arena where you also have to fight against the Manticore.
- A creature's "drag weight" must be less than 560. This is how much the creature itself weighs, not its carrying weight seen in its inventory.
- To see this value in-game, place the creature on an Elevator Platform with an empty inventory and no saddle.
