Valguero is a free, official, non-canonical DLC expansion map for ARK: Survival Evolved.

Overview

Survivors, come explore a vast and diverse 63 km² map with a multitude of new terrains to build on! Observe familiar ARK creatures in a vast environment and meet Deinonychus, the newest ARK feathered theropod found only in Valguero.

Explore new heights and hidden depths; whether it's creating your foundations in the White Cliffs or discovering the secrets of the pit of Aberration, Valguero offers a new experience of the ARK universe. With new biomes, a formidable dungeon boss and mysterious ruins to discover, there is always something exciting - and dangerous - in Valguero. Among its more than 60 square kilometers, you'll find everything from lush jungles to environmental hazards, from snowfields to lava flows, to savannas and hot springs.

Enter a brand new ARK experience where ARK's classic gameplay merges with a new adventure - Valguero!

New Creatures

Valguero features a new creature, the  Deinonychus. The deinonychus lays its nests throughout the map and stealing one of these  Eggs is the only way to tame a Deinonychus aside from breeding one. They are very strong and hard to kill in packs.

There are also two variations of the  Rock Elemental, the  Chalk Golem (in The White Cliffs) and the  Ice Golem (in the snow desert). These two variants are identical to the Rock Elemental in every way except for their appearance.

Notes/Trivia

• The original map was intended to contain a  Rock Drake nest in the depth of the Aberration Biome. The rock drakes were however removed in the free DLC as mentioned in an official livestream with the developers.
• Beached icthyosauruses are harvestable for  Organic Polymer and  Hide, as well as dead carboneyms for  Spoiled Meat, hide, and  Keratin, similar to how beached basilosauruses on Ragnarok are harvestable for  Oil.
• Valguero is the first official free DLC to have Aberration content on it without the need to purchase the DLC. However it doesn't include a bio-luminescent region within the Aberration Trench. Also, the entire Aberration area is considered a cave and therefore, flyers cannot be ridden inside and managarmr's cannot use their dive ability.
• Valguero has a Wyvern Trench, like that of Scorched Earth and Ragnarok. However, only 2 types of wyvern exist in this trench, that being the fire wyvern and the ice wyverns. The ice wyverns live above ground, while the fire wyverns live in the underground section of the trench.
• Although  Griffins were shown in the trailer for Valguero, they do not spawn on the map.
• Valguero is unique in having all the ocean creatures but no ocean surrounding the map. Instead, a large lake is present. Valguero is also the first map to have an underground ocean, known as The Abyss, in addition to its lake, where the ceiling is rock, you can't swim to the surface for  Oxygen, and dangerous creatures like tusoteuthises spawn.
• Valguero is the first expansion map with a roaming boss, the Broodmother.
• Valguero is the only expansion map to not have the Artifact of the Devious.
