ARK Archelon Spawn Command

Deals 10x damage against Cnidarias (jellyfish) and is fully immune to their stuns. After killing a jellyfish it gains a 90-second buff granting 250% damage increase and 25% damage reduction. It also passively generates Archelon Algae over time, and its four-person saddle provides oxygen to all passengers. Archelon is a herbivore (bio toxin and superior kibble for taming; berries post-tame). Completely immune to torpor and tranquilization — knockout taming is impossible. Babies must remain fully submerged for the first 5 minutes after birth or they die. Saddle seats up to four players.

The jellyfish damage bonus and stun immunity are entirely passive — simply engage Cnidarias and the bonuses apply automatically. The Algae generation is passive; production rate scales with the Food stat. Vertical movement underwater uses the Jump key to ascend and Special 1 to descend. The four-seat saddle is equipped like any saddle; additional players can board and are protected from oxygen loss. Level the Food stat to accelerate Archelon Algae production. For its jellyfish-killing role, prioritize Damage to maximize the multiplicative bonus during the 90-second post-kill buff window — chain jellyfish kills to keep the buff rolling. Level Health for its tank role. Its enormous health pool and 50% baseline shell damage reduction make it extremely durable. Non-violent tame only: feed Bio Toxin or Superior Kibble from the last hotbar slot by pressing E — lure it onto shore for a safer feeding approach since it is slow on land.

Bio Toxin farming (kills jellyfish for it), multi-passenger underwater transport, underwater tanking, taming dangerous aquatic creatures with its stun immunity.

Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Archelon_Character_BP_ASA_C to spawn a wild Archelon in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Archelon_Character_BP_ASA_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.

Use cheat gmsummon "Archelon_Character_BP_ASA_C" <level>. The number is the pre-tame level — ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus, so a value of 100 ends up around level 150. To hit a target level, divide it by 1.5. A gmsummon creature still needs a saddle to ride.

summon drops a wild Archelon at a random level. SummonTamed gives you a tamed one but at a random level you can't set. gmsummon spawns it tamed at the level you specify — the one most people want.

Yes. In single player the cheat prefix is optional and no password is needed. On a dedicated or non-dedicated session you must run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> once, then prefix each spawn with cheat. Set that admin password without hand-editing files using our free ARK config generators.
