ARK: Survival Ascended's Genesis 1 map features a roster of highly coveted X-Creatures. They're identifiable by their glowing grid-like patterns that match their native biome. These variants aren't just cosmetics; they are powerhouses that you can add to your roster. If you want to tame one, here's a guide to finding all the X-Creatures and how to tame them.
How to Tame X-Creatures in ARK Survival Ascended
Taming an X-Creature uses the same methods as its standard counterpart. You'll need the traps and tranquilizer darts for knockout tames or feed them food for passive tames. One thing you need to prepare for is the X-Creatures' damage resistance.
A wild X-Creature has a 60% damage reduction against any incoming attacks and torpidity. You'll need to use roughly 2.5 times as many tranquilizers to knock out an X-Creature. Aside from their damage resistance, they also have a 250% damage multiplier. Taking them on without the proper gear and traps is a death sentence. Make sure to contain them before you start the tranquilizers safely.

Spawns in the game are dynamic, which means creatures will roam and share spawn containers with other animals. While they don't have fixed coordinates, they do have a spawn hotspot. Here are all the X-Creature locations in ARK: Survival Ascended.
