Ragnarok is a free, official, non-canonical DLC expansion map for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended.
Overview
Ragnarok was released on June 12, 2017, for the PC, Mac, and Linux versions of ARK, and for consoles on August 29, 2017.[1] Half of the map was finished at PC release date and 75% at the console release. The map was declared 99% finished for PC in December 2017 and consoles in January 2018.
The Norse Map

| Regions of the DLC Map Ragnarok |
New Creatures
Ragnarok adds several new creatures, such as the 
Ice Wyvern, 
Iceworm Male, 
Dire Polar Bear, 
Bison, and 
Griffin, as well as 4 new dungeon bosses: the 
Spirit Dire Bear and 
Spirit Direwolf, the Iceworm Queen and the 
Lava Elemental. It's a whole new map that boasts an expansive 144 sq. kilometer environment, an active volcano, species from DLC Scorched Earth, and higher than average spawn rates of 
Megalania 
Ovis, 
Tusoteuthis and 
Eurypterid (creatures that are harder to find on other maps). On Ragnarok there are unique 
Beaver Dams; they are bigger and look more like beaver dams in real life. 
Beavers can live in the Dams, too.
Creatures tamed and items received on official Ragnarok servers can be brought to the vanilla map The Island,[2] except Polar Bears.
Unique Environmental Features.
- An active volcano that will erupt creating lava flows and cause meteors to rain down.
Basilosaurus corpses scattered along the beaches.- Boxes scattered around the beaches that can be broken to get equipment.
- Massive Beaver Dams.
- Ruins and sunken viking boats scattered around the map including a castle overlooking viking bay.
- Occasional Wind Storms.
- Various easter eggs such as a Shrek hut and Jats face scattered around the map.
- Hot springs with stone benches on which you can sit and get the rested buff.
ASA Differences
- 4 massive brand new Landmasses have been added with their own unique landmarks and ruins to explore.
- Overhauled Areas including a heavily reworked Life's Labyrinth Dungeon and Wyvern Cave.
- A brand new Boss replacing the ASE
Manticore and 
Dragon tag fight with the ferocious Nunatak Boss. - A sweep of new Creatures added in ASA including the Bison.
Size
Ragnarok is approximately 2.5x the size of The Island, in terms of land mass, and roughly 4x in total size. These calculations do not account for the significant, wide-ranging cave networks, and sizable dungeons.
Here you see some pictures taken in the editor at same scale to show you how big Ragnarok is.

Notes/Trivia
- The map was never truly completed, remaining at about 98-99% complete. Most ambient sounds are missing, the reef biome offshore of the Deathsands remains barren, buggy and nearly uninhabitable due to lack of life and resources, and several other issues that affect the world. There seems to be no current effort to complete it.
- In Norse mythology, Ragnarok refers to doomsday, in which a series of future events take place and the universe is reborn.
- There was a bug in the ASA Remake that if the player loses to Nunatak then the entire map will be frozen over, this has unfortunately been removed
- Despite not spawning anywhere on the Map as a wild creature there is a Megapithecus Corpse in the Iceworm Queen's Arena implying they at least once lived in Ragnarok before seemingly going extinct
- Like Scorched Earth, the creatures that Ragnarok adds are primarily based on fantasy.
- This is the first map to have custom Mini-Bosses.
- All 3 Mini-Bosses made for Ragnarok don't have a unique dermis, they instead are of the basic creatures, so the Lava Elemental dermis will show a rock elemental instead, the Iceworm Queen will show a deathworm, and both the
Spirit Direbear and Spirit Direwolf will show their normal counterparts. - A unique harvestable resource in Ragnarok are the beached Basilosaurus, found in the Highlands on beaches. They yield
Spoiled Meat, 
Hide, 
Keratin and a little bit of 
Oil. - In the Swamp, a house in a rock can be found as well as an outhouse. This is a reference to the movie Shrek.
- At the south of the map, there is an island that is united to land by a bridge, this is based on the Gaztelugatxe, in Spain.
- This is the first official mod map to introduce new creatures.
- This is the first official mod map to use Scorched Earth creatures.
- Despite the acclaim for its size, the new Crystal Isles and Genesis: Part 2 maps are bigger.
- There was a known bug where the water in Redwoods region could turn red, because the developers reused the water for the forbidden zone on Extinction.
- In Patch 267.0, the Ice Wyvern was remodeled and was now uploadable.
- Furthermore in the Ragnarok Ascended Remake the Ice Wyverns Breath got a TLC making it stronger and larger.
- There are a total of 183 regions on Ragnarok.
- Despite being younger than the center, Ragnarok is the only mod map available on the Nintendo Switch.
