Ambergris is a resource in the Genesis: Part 1 DLC obtained rarely from mining green-lined rocks in the lunar biome. It is used as ammunition to charge the  Astrocetus's bomb attack, and as  Food and comfort food for baby  Magmasaur (or force fed to adults to replenish 300  Health). Please note, you can not get ambergris on the Lost Island DLC despite the fact you're able to get  Magmasaurs, and it is one of the hand feeding options.

Notes[]

  • Despite the description,  Astrocetus does not actively leave behind Ambergris.
  • HLN-A describes Ambergris as "whale snot", but Ambergris is actually a waxy mucus produced in the intestines of sperm whales.
  • Ambergris can be stored in Feeding Troughs, Refrigerators and Tek Troughs (as opposed to other baby-raising Foods) expanding its decay rate.
  • Using an Ankylosaurus increases Ambergris harvesting efficiency.
