Basic Info

Behaviour

While Edestus are aggressive creatures, they won't attack until you come relatively close.

Appearance

Edestus is a large shark that's slightly larger than a  Megalodon. It douses itself in magma, coating itself in volcanic rocks and turning its snout into a thermal sword. It has two dorsal fins, a pair of pectoral fins, a pair of pelvic fins, and a heterocercal tail fin.

Heat meter

The Edestus has a heat meter, which can go from 0 all the way to 100. The heat meter can be increased by giving the Edestus fuel, which it will passively consume on its own. You can also force-feed the fuel using X, long press Right Stick, long press Right Stick.

Fuel Heat
 Sparkpowder 0.2
 Gasoline 2
File:Mod ARK The Sunken World Thermite.png Thermite (Mod:ARK: The Sunken World) 10

Live Furnace

The Edestus's inventory works as both a  Campfire and  Refining Forge, though only when its heat meter is above 25. The Edestus will process  Metal into  Metal Ingot,  Oil and  Hide into  Gasoline and any kind of  Meat into their cooked variant.

Saddle Rider Oxygen

The  Edestus Saddle (Mod:ARK: The Sunken World) supplies the rider with  Oxygen.

Taming

For general info about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.

KO Strategy

Edestus can be knocked out in a similar manner to  Megalodon, simply keep your distance while firing tranquilizers at it. A fast aquatic mount that allows rider weaponry can aid in this process, as an Edestus can catch up to a survivor without  SCUBA Flippers.

Preferred Food

  1. File:Mod ARK The Sunken World Thermite.png Thermite (Mod:ARK: The Sunken World)
  2.  Gasoline
  3.  Sparkpowder

Combat

This section describes how to fight against Edestus.

General

While wild Edestus won't use their ram and charge attacks, they can still pose a threat because of their decent  Health and  Damage output. They don't tend to aggro until you get relatively close, so try to stay further away from them.

Strategy

Because Edestus have decently high  Health and  Damage output, it is recommended to use a creature that can take a beating and deal enough damage, like  Mosasaurus or  Tusoteuthis.

Weaponry

Ranged weapons that work underwater are a good choice to avoid getting too close to Edestus, as well as using an aquatic creature that allows mounted weaponry and is fast enough to outswim it.

Utility

Roles

  • Living Forge/ Campfire: Because Edestus can smelt  Metal, create  Gasoline and cook  Meat in its inventory, it can be used as a living  Campfire/  Forge.

Notes/ Trivia

For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Edestus, see the relevant Wikipedia article.

  • Edestus magmalorica translates into "Devouring Magma Carapace".
