ARK: Survival Evolved is a sandbox survival game set in an artificial prehistoric world (there are giant alien obelisks and guns) with the world overran with dinosaurs and other giant animals from that time period. All the classic dinos that you remember from when you were a kid are here, as well as a bunch of dinos that you probably never knew existed. Besides fighting and surviving with dinosaurs, you can do a host of other things like build structures, make weapons and even tame and ride dinosaurs.

 

For this trophy guide I will be showing you the fastest way possible to get the all coveted Apex Predator trophy. Feel free, if you want, to get as many trophies as you can through normal gameplay but the fastest way to get the Platinum will be using admin commands (cheats).

 

Admin Commands

 

To use cheats simply just pause the game while in a single player lobby and hold down , , and all at the same time. After doing so you will see a text bar up top with the ADMIN COMMAND button next to it. To activate a cheat simply type the cheat you want into the text bar and then hit the ADMIN COMMAND button and unpause the game.

 

Useful Admin Commands that will be used throughout the Guide:

 

leavemealone: Puts makes it so you don't take damage from anything and dinosaurs won't attack you.

 

GiveEngrams: Gives you all the in game engrams, which are basically blueprints for building things.

 

DoTame: Instantly tames the creature that is standing in front of you.

 

Summon <Creature ID>: Spawns in the dinosaur that you specified directly in front of you. (Example: summon Direbear_Character_BP_C)

 

Giveitemnum <item ID> <amount> <rarity> 0: Gives you the specified items. Rarity makes the weapons do significantly more damage(caps out at 100). (Example: giveitemnum 140 1 100 0)

 

Setplayerpos <X coordinate> <Y coordinate> <Z coordinate>: For teleporting yourself to a specific place. (Example: setplayerpos -195067 -199302 34000)

 

Addexperience <amount> 0 1: Gives you the specified amount of experience instantaneously. Will give it to your dinosaur if you are riding on them. (Example: addexperience 10000000 0 1)

 

Ghost: Allows you to move through walls and fly around the map. Press to go up.

 

Walk: Takes you out of ghost mode. Returns you back to having to walk around.

 

gmsummon: Summons in a creature and instantly tames it.

 

Helpful Links:

• Item ID's: Item IDs - Official ARK: Survival Evolved Wiki Gives you a list of items and their ID numbers. Some items unfortunately do not have ID numbers so you will have to get them a different way.
   
   
• Dinosaur ID's: Creature IDs - Official ARK: Survival Evolved Wiki Gives you a list of all dinosaurs and their ID numbers. The dinosaur will normally spawn right in front of you but sometimes it can be glitchy. I recommend to move around the dinosaur for a few seconds before attacking them so they don't glitch out and not give any loot.
   
   
• Dossier and Notes list: ARK Position List - FEARIUN List of the locations for a lot of important stuff around the island like Obelisks, Artifacts, Dossiers and Notes.

 

Note: You can also use a USB keyboard to enter in codes if you find that to be easier than using the PS4 controller.

 

 

 

Most of the trophies can be earned in any order except for Veteran Paleontologist so feel free to deviate from my path, it is simply just the order I think is easiest.

 

Setup: At the start screen select the HOST \ LOCAL option. This will take you to the server setup screen. Once there just select the PLAY SINGLE PLAYER button to start a game.

 

Once in game there are some quick things I recommend doing that don't unlock trophies but definitely make them easier to get.

 

This admin command will put you into god mode which makes you invincible and makes dinosaurs ignore you:

 

leavemealone

 

This will give you a high damage pike that will make killing things simple:

 

gfi pike 1 100 0

 

Step 1: Leveling Up

 

Use the admin command:

 

addexperience 10000000 0 1

 

This will instantly put you to level 100. After you have achieved this you will need to complete the requirements of Gamma Ascension, Beta Ascension, and Alpha Ascension in order to get the trophy for maximum level. Check out the trophies in order to see how to do those. One of the older patches has borked this trophy and made it so the Aberration DLC is needed for the Maximum Survivor trophy but there is a workaround so see that for more details.

 

During this step you should get:

 

Maximum Survivor

 

 

Step 2: Quick Miscellaneous Trophies

 

These are trophies that you can do anywhere on the map and are quick and easy to get. Check the individual trophies for how to do them.

 

During this step you should get:

 

Your first Dino...

Your first Ride...

Maximum Dinosaur

Rex Rider

Giga Rider

Cure-All

 

 

Step 3: Artifacts

 

During this step you will use admin commands to teleport to the artifact locations. Check that trophy to see how to do it.

 

During this step you should get:

 

Artifact Archaeologist

 

 

Step 4: Survivor Trophies

 

These trophies have you going to one of the obelisks on the map and putting in certain materials to allow to fight a boss. The bosses take a while to kill but as long as you have god mode enabled and have the Pike weapon I told you how to spawn in you should be good to go. Glitch Warning: I definitely recommend killing them in the order Broodmother, Megapithecus, Dragon as some people have claimed the trophy for defeating all three, Survivor Evolved, can glitch if not done in this order. Check the individual trophies for how to do them.

 

During this step you get:

 

Veteran Survivor

Expert Survivor

Master Survivor

Survivor Evolved

 

 

Step 5: Dossiers

 

Now you can do the most annoying and boring trophy in the game. For this trophy you must collect all of the dossier and note collectibles that are scattered around the map. Thankfully you can simply use to teleport command to instantly go to each location. Check out the trophy to see how to do it.

 

During this step you will get:

 

Veteran Paleontologist

 

 

Step 6: Dinosaur Taming

 

For this trophy you will be spawning in each breed of dinosaur and then you will tame them also using cheat commands. See the trophy itself, for how to do it.

 

During this step you will get:

 

Master Zoologist

 

 

Step 7: Exploration

 

During this step you will be using teleport commands to go to the highest and lowest spots on the map as well as discovering 80% of the map. You may already have discovered 80% of the map by teleporting around for the collectibles. Check the individually trophies for to do them.

 

During this step you will get:

 

Map Maker

Highest Peak

Lowest Depth

 

 

Step 8: Clean-Up

 

Time to go back and finish any trophies that you still need. If Artifact Archaeologist glitched up on you (like it did me) now is a great time to delete your save and go get it. Also if you somehow still haven't received Your first day... now is the time to do it.

 

During this step you will get:

 

Your first day...

Apex Predator

 

Congratulations!

Trophy Guide:

 

  Apex Predator

Collect all ARK: Survival Evolved trophies!

 

Unlock all the other trophies to get this one.

 

 

  Your first day...

You Survived a full day and night on the ARK!

 

This trophy should come naturally, whilst going for the rest of the trophies. Simply survive one day and night cycle without dying, which is super easy with God Mode enabled.

 

 

  Your first Dino...

You Tamed a Dinosaur!

 

You can get this trophy while also going for the Rex Rider or Giga Rider trophies but if you want to get it separately, simply find a dinosaur that you want to tame, stand in front of it so its name pops up on the screen, then type in the admin command:

 

dotame

 

The trophy should pop immediately.

 

 

  Your first Ride...

You Rode a Dinosaur!

 

You must make a saddle for the dinosaur you currently have tamed and equip it to the dinosaur. This will allow you to ride it and unlock the trophy. Refer to Rex Rider or Giga Rider to get them at the same time.

 

 

  Maximum Survivor

You reached the Maximum Survivor Level!

 

With the introduction of the Aberration DLC; the trigger point for Maximum Survivor is now 132 but there are a couple of workarounds for people who don't own the DLC

 

If you have the disc version of the game, you can play it unpatched meaning the trophy only requires you to be level 117. To achieve this, you will need to do the alpha ascension off Ark using command cheat playercommand Ascend3 (being sure to capitalize where I have) Once you see the credits, you can skip these and respawn.

 

Once you have respawned use the command cheat addexperience 10000000 0 1 then go into your inventory and allocate your stats, this should take you up to level 117 and the trophy will unlock.

 

For people who don't have the disc version, this is the workaround that I found and have tested (and has been confirmed to work by other people who used this method):

 

1. Load up the Island Map

 

2. If it's a fresh game, make sure it saves at least once otherwise it will send you on a loop to create a new character and it won't work

 

3. Use the command cheat playercommand AbAscend3 (this is the Aberration Ascension command, make sure to capitalize where I have)

 

4. Skip end credits, reload Island Map and respawn at a random area

 

5. Use the command cheat addexperience 1000000000000 1 0

 

6. Go into your player menu and add the levels into something random (I just used weight)

 

7. It will only take you up to level 117 however the trophy will still unlock

 

One thing that I will state with this, is that they have been running some events and updates on the back of the Extinction announcement and the last two updates have increased the level for Maximum Survivor and Maximum Dino. I've taken those updates into account with the above but there may be further updates that increase the level needed by 1 or 2 points.

 

Credit to RachP13 for this info.

 

  Maximum Dinosaur

One of your Dinosaur's reached Maximum Level!

 

While riding a dinosaur, use the admin command:

 

addexperience 10000000 0 1

 

This will instantly put your dinosaur up to max level. It works well to get this after doing Rex Rider or Giga Rider trophies.

 

 

  Rex Rider

You rode on the back of a T-Rex!

 

Use the admin command:

 

gmsummon "Rex_Character_BP_C"1

 

This will spawn in a T-Rex in front of you and tame it. you will also unlock Your first Dino... if you didn't already have it. Now use the admin command:

 

gfi armor_rex 1 1 0

 

This will give you a saddle to equip to your T-Rex. Walk up to your T-Rex and hold when the prompt appears and select Access Inventory on the wheel that pops up. Now drag the saddle over to the T-Rex and it will automatically be equipped. Back out of the menu and you will be able to tap to ride on your T-Rex. The trophy should immediately pop. This is also a great place to get Maximum Dinosaur so refer to that trophy for more details.

 

 

  Giga Rider

You rode on the back of a Giganotosaurus!

 

Use the admin command:

 

gmsummon "Gigant_Character_BP_C"1

 

This will spawn in a Giganotosaurus in front of you and tame it. It will also unlock Your first Dino... if you didn't already have it. Now use the command

 

gfi armor_gig 1 1 0

 

This will give you a saddle to equip to your Giganotosaurus. Walk up to your Giganotosaurus and hold when the prompt appears and select Access Inventory on the wheel that pops up. Now drag the saddle over to the Giganotosaurus and it will automatically be equipped. Back out of the menu and you will be able to tap to ride on your Giganotosaurus. The trophy should immediately pop. This is also a great place to get Maximum Dinosaur so refer to that trophy for more details.

 

 

  Artifact Archaeologist

You personally retrieved all the Artifacts!

 

POTENTIALLY GLITCHED

 

For this trophy you must spawn in all the artifacts crates and then loot their individual artifacts. Simple type in one of the commands below and an alien looking crate will spawn floating in front of you. Then all you need to do is hit on the crate to open its' inventory and move the artifact into your inventory. After you have moved the artifact, simply back out of the crate and you are ready to spawn the next one in.

 

Note: I suggest waiting around 10 seconds in between looting an artifact and spawning in the next crate so the game has adequate enough time to register that you did indeed loot the artifact.

 

The codes for the crates are below:

 

summon artifactcrate_1_c

summon artifactcrate_2_c

summon artifactcrate_3_c

summon artifactcrate_4_c

summon artifactcrate_5_c

 

summon artifactcrate_6_c

summon artifactcrate_7_c

summon artifactcrate_8_c

summon artifactcrate_9_c

summon artifactcrate_10_c

summon artifactcrate_11_c

 

If the trophy does not pop after looting all the artifacts I would suggest deleting your save and trying again on a new save.

  Veteran Paleontologist

You unlocked the Dossiers of each of ARK's initial Specimens!

 

For this trophy you must you must collect all of the dossiers for each breed of dinosaur that are scattered around the map but do note that you must also kill all of the bosses summoned at the obelisks by paying the tributes, as those three bosses have unique entries. Refer to the Survivor trophies for more information. Thankfully for the rest, you can simply use to the teleport command to instantly go to each location. Below is the huge list of admin commands but I have broken them up into sections to make it easier to read. You only need to type the setplayerpos and then the coordinates in order to teleport. I added the names next to each to make it easier to read. You can check and see what dossiers you still need by hitting the button which will bring you to your inventory. Then press the button and you will be taken to the dossiers list. All of the dinosaur dossiers are located towards the bottom of the Helena Walker category. Good luck!

 

Note: If you can't move after teleporting to one of the locations, then you can use the admin command:

 

ghost

 

This will allow you to move through walls and fly around the map. Press to fly up but to get out of ghost mode, use the admin command:

 

walk

 

This will allow you to walk around like normal.

 

Note: You can also use a USB keyboard to enter in codes if you find that to be easier than using the PS4 controller.

  Veteran Survivor

You defeated ARK's first Ultimate Life Form!

 

This trophy requires that you summon and defeat the Broodmother, which is basically a giant spider. In order to summon it you must go to the green obelisk on the map and offer up certain items. To get to an obelisk use the admin command:

 

setplayerpos 175733 70762 -10000

 

Once here you can tap on the little terminal on the ground and select Tributes, for it will show you what materials you need to summon the bosses. You can complete the boss on any difficulty so I recommend doing them on easy(gamma) but first, back out of that menu and use the following admin commands:

 

gfi artifact_05 1 1 0

gfi artifact_01 1 1 0

gfi artifact_03 1 1 0

 

This will give you all the required items for the tribute to summon the Broodmother. Go back into the obelisk and move all the items that you spawned into the obelisk. Now go into the tributes and select the Generate Broodmother (Gamma) Portal and select the Generate with Tribute button below. If it successfully took the materials for the tribute back out of the obelisk and wait. A laser wall will go up around you and you will then be teleported to the Broodmother's lair. You can use any weapon to kill her. For a good damaging spear use the code:

 

gfi pike 1 100 0

 

After you kill her the trophy will pop. You will automatically teleport out, a short while after you have killed the Broodmother.

  Expert Survivor

You defeated ARK's second Ultimate Life Form!

 

This trophy requires that you summon and defeat the Megapithecus, which is basically a giant gorilla. In order to summon it, you must go to the blue obelisk on the map and offer up certain items. To get to an obelisk, use the admin command:

 

setplayerpos -195067 -199302 34000

 

Once here you can tap on the little terminal on the ground and select Tributes for it will show you what materials you need to summon the bosses. You can complete the boss on any difficulty so I recommend doing them on easy(gamma) but first, back out of that menu and use the following admin commands:

 

gfi artifact_12 1 1 0

gfi artifact_7 1 1 0

gfi artifact_2 1 1 0

 

This will give you all the required items for the tribute to summon the Megapithecus. Go back into the obelisk and move all the items that you spawned into the obelisk. Now go into the tributes and select the Generate Megapithecus (Gamma) Portal and select the Generate with Tribute button below. If it successfully took the materials for the tribute, back out of the obelisk and wait. A laser wall will go up around you and you will then be teleported to the Megapithecus' lair. You can use any weapon to kill it. For a good damaging spear use the code:

 

gfi pike 1 100 0

 

After you kill it the trophy will pop. You will automatically teleport out after a short while after you kill the Megapithecus.

 

 

  Survivor Evolved

You've defeated ARK's first three Ultimate Life Forms! And yet...

 

POTENTIALLY GLITCHED

 

For this trophy you must kill all three obelisk tribute bosses. I recommend killing them in this order: Broodmother, Megapithecus, Dragon, because people have had the trophy glitch on them by doing the tributes in a different order.

 

 

  Master Survivor

You defeated ARK's third Ultimate Life Form!

 

This trophy requires that you summon and defeat the Dragon, which is literally just a dragon. In order to summon it you must go to the red obelisk on the map and offer up certain items. To get to an obelisk use the admin command:

 

setplayerpos -260544 238951 -10847

 

Once here you can tap on the little terminal on the ground and select Tributes, for it will show you what materials you need to summon the bosses. You can complete the boss on any difficulty so I recommend doing them on easy(gamma) but first, back out of that menu and use the following admin commands:

 

gfi artifact_11 1 1 0

gfi artifact_8 1 1 0

gfi artifact_6 1 1 0

gfi artifact_9 1 1 0

 

This will give you all the required items for the tribute to summon the Dragon. Now go to the terminal and move all of the items into the obelisk. Then go to tributes and select the Generate Dragon (Gamma) Portal and select the Generate with Tribute button below. If it successfully took the materials for the tribute back out of the obelisk and wait. A laser wall will go up around you and you will then be teleported to the Dragon's lair. You can use any weapon to kill it. For a good damaging spear use the code:

 

gfi pike 1 100 0

 

You may have to wait for the Dragon to land before you can damage it with the spear though. After you kill it the trophy will pop. You will automatically teleport out after a short while after you kill the Dragon.

 

 

  Map Maker

You've uncovered more than 80% of the Mini-Map!

 

Use the to view the map. The areas you have been to will be colored in.

 

Doing Veteran Paleontologist will discover a large part of the map for you. If you didn't get this trophy or you simply want to do this first then you can use teleport commands to quickly get around the map. Using this method will not discover 100% of the map but since you only get 80%, you will have more than enough. Use the admin codes:

 

setplayerpos -300000 -300000 0

setplayerpos -300000 -200000 0

setplayerpos -300000 -100000 0

setplayerpos -300000 0 0

setplayerpos -300000 100000 0

setplayerpos -300000 200000 0

setplayerpos -300000 300000 0

 

After doing those you will have discovered the center of each tile in the first column on the map. Next, simply set the first co-ordinate to -200000 and keep the other two co-ordinates the same. Every time you complete one set of admin commands, move the first co-ordinate down 100000 (example: -200000, -100000, 0, 100000, 200000, 300000). You should receive the trophy part of the way through doing this.

 

 

  Highest Peak

You've reached the highest mountain peak of the ARK!

 

For this trophy, you simply have to just be at a specific coordinate. Use the admin command:

 

setplayerpos -97000 -51000 46000

 

This will take you right to where you need to go for the trophy. If it doesn't pop immediately, try walking around the area a bit.

 

 

  Lowest Depth

You've reached the bottom of the ARK's oceans!

 

POTENTIALLY GLITCHED

 

For this trophy, you simply have to just be at a specific co-ordinate. Use the admin command:

 

setplayerpos -102000 317800 -50000

 

This will take you right to where you need to go for the trophy. If it doesn't pop immediately, try swimming around the area a bit.

 

If after doing this the trophy does still not pop you may want to backup your save, delete the game, re-download the game, and try again on a new save file.

 

 

  Cure-All

You've cured yourself of Swamp Fever!

 

This trophy requires a bit of setup. First you should spawn in a few things using the admin commands:

 

gfi campf 1 1 0

gfi thatch 100 1 0

gfi cure 1 1 0

 

This will give you a lesser antidote, a campfire and 100 thatch. Place the campfire on the ground, walk up to it and hold . Move the Thatch over to the campfire's inventory and select the Light Fire button. Now we are going to spawn in the required enemy that will give use the Swamp Fever disease. Move away from the campfire and use the admin command:

 

summon Leech_Character_Diseased_C

 

This will summon in the diseased leech. Now wait around (away from the fire) until the leech attacks you and attaches to you. After it is attached, walk into the campfire so it burns off the leech. Once the leech dies go into your inventory and use the lesser antidote you spawned in earlier. After you use the antidote the trophy should pop.

  Master Zoologist

You tamed all of the domesticable creatures on the ARK!

 

I recommend doing this trophy after you have collected all of the dinosaur dossiers for the Veteran Paleontologist trophy so you can track which dinosaurs you still need. For this one you will have to spawn in every type of dinosaur using the commands below. (Thanks to WiP for finding an easier code.)

 

I added the names next to each to make it easier to read. You can check and see what dossiers you still need by hitting the button which will bring you to your inventory, then press the button and you will be taken to the collectibles list. All of the dinosaur dossiers are located towards the bottom of the Helena Walker category. If you have tamed that dinosaur then the black circle in the top right of that dinosaurs icon will be green.

Since this game seems like it's going to be constantly updated while also constantly changing the trophies and the requirements of trophies, any changes that you may find would be great help to me.

The trophy guide should be all done. Let me know what you guys think and let me know if there is anything else I should add or clarify.

 

You should add the set player pos for the 2 extra artifacts added to the game as they helped me get my trophy the 9 original artifacts didn't pop the trophy unless I grabbed these 2 extras

 

 

setplayerpos -224800 86400 -28500

So I went after the ultimate life forms in wrong order, I started from that Scorched Earth one. None of the trophies popped. Does anyone know a fix or do I need to delete my game and start over? Also I collected all the artifacts and no trophy.

Sounds good. Thanks for the sticky!

[RachP13]

I think it might be worthwhile to check out if Maximum Survivor works the same now with the most recent update.

 

The Maximum Survivor level has been set at 100, but you can increase that by 5 every time you complete an ascension (which is the new volcano cave in the recent update) up to a total of 3 times for 15 extra levels. I'm curious as to whether the trophy will unlock now when you reach level 100 or whether you need those extra 15 levels.

 

I noticed an error on the Giga Rider trophy. You mention that the Giga doesn't need a saddle to ride and this is incorrect, in normal play the Giga does actually require a saddle to ride however if you use the command forcetame on ANY dinosaur, it negates the need for a saddle and you can just hop directly onto the dinosaurs back

 

I'm not sure if this would be helpful to your guide, but I feel that putting the dossier names next to the command code could be beneficial just to add some context for someone going through the list.

[servertimeout]

For "Your first Dino" "forcetame" did not pop the trophy for me but "dotame" worked.

[Warlord99956]

I just got my plat today. For maximum survivor I can confirm that you do need to reach level 115 using the Tek cave 3 times. I had to run through it on Gamma (green) beta (yellow) and alpha (red). Each time I was able to gain 5 extra levels. Repeating the same ascension doesn't give you extra levels. I used the item wiki (linked in the guide) to give myself the trophies/items required to access the caves. The cave is located at -87200 -55200 33600

 

For the Artifact trophy I visited all the locations listed in the locations guide (linked above). It didn't pop when I used the cheat to spawn the artefact crates

 

The first Dino trophy didn't work using the ForceSpawn command either. I tamed a Dino using the "legit" method of feeding it until the tame meter was full to get the trophy

 

I think the guide could do with updating asap with this new info. It's an easy plat using the cheats but some of the info here is a bit misleading. I probably spent an extra 3-4 hours longer than necessary as I had to get this infor from various different sources!

Thanks for the tips. I'll have to check out the Maximum Survivor trophy and see if you need the extra levels.

 

As far as the Giga Rider trophy goes, at the time I originally wrote the guide the Giga didn't actually have an actual saddle. Regardless if you are following the guide you won't need it though.

 

And I agree it would be nice to put the dossier names next to the codes but unfortunately there is a maximum letter count of 10000 for each trophy so there isn't enough room.

If it's any assistance, Warlord99956 posted at the bottom of the previous page to state that you do now need to do the ascension path 3 times to gain the extra 15 levels needed for the maximum survivor trophy.

 

That's weird about the Giga saddle and that you think it didn't have one. I played the game since day 1 release on both Xbox and PS4, and both instances had the Giga saddle that's an engram unlock at level 85 (now level 96 with the most recent update and engram respec) Giganotosaurus Saddle - Official ARK: Survival Evolved Wiki

 

Even though with forcetame, the saddle isn't needed, I thought it would be prudent to provide the correct information.

 

That's a shame about there being a limitation, I feel that some better formatting around the dossier entries would really help this guide shine.

 

Also, as per some of the responses on the previous page, I can confirm that forcetame doesn't work for the "My First Dino" trophy. As far as I know, it has never worked. You either need to tame it the conventional way or use dotame

[Terminator]

And I agree it would be nice to put the dossier names next to the codes but unfortunately there is a maximum letter count of 10000 for each trophy so there isn't enough room.

That's what the reserve post is for, just move the contents of post 4 into post 5 and you'll have plenty of room to add extra depth to the Veteran Paleontologist trophy . BTW, I've updated the main site version of the Guide with your recent updates .
