ARK- Genesis Part 2

Genesis: Part 2 is the fifth and final paid DLC Expansion Pack for ARK: Survival Evolved and is available for purchase through the Genesis Season Pass.

Unique Environmental Features

  • Eden Zone, a starter area for Survivors, filled with plateaus, rivers and waterfalls, providing all necessary Resources needed for survival.
  • Tek Trenches (Rock Tunnel) that act as technological bridges between biomes, and potentially the two Rings. In between is a void of space filled with nothing but the fragments of ever changing asteroids.
  • Rockwell's Garden, an aberrant and twisted region created by Rockwell filled with his eerie creations.
  • Rockwell's Proliferation, an area fused with the insides of Sir Edmund Rockwell, affectionately known as the Rockwell's Innards biome.
  • The S.U.M.P, an underground ocean located underneath the Eden Zone, which contains ocean based creatures and resources.
  • An area in between the two rings known as -Space-, it has asteroids that transform from time to time.

The Colony Ship Map

Genesis: Part 2 has survivors exploring a vast world filled with strange new Biomes, Story Missions, and exotic Creatures. The map is set aboard the massive Genesis-Ship traveling through deep space.

Missions

Like Genesis: Part 1, Genesis: Part 2 includes Missions. These missions include hunt missions, races, gauntlet missions, and more. These missions give hexagons and non grindable loot when completing. As well as certain effects, such as taming speed increase & more. Missions can take place in the Genesis simulation where you will not lose your items if you die, however not all missions take place in the Genesis simulation. Each mission has a gamma, beta, and alpha difficulty, with each higher difficulty providing better rewards. These missions are needed to complete the Rockwell Prime boss.

  • Gamma Rockwell Prime requires all missions to be completed at the least, gamma difficulty
  • Beta Rockwell Prime requires all missions to be completed at the least, beta difficulty
  • Alpha Rockwell Prime requires all missions to be completed at the least, alpha difficulty

If you have completed all missions at beta, you can do both Gamma & Beta Rockwell Prime.
