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.
The Colony Ship Map
Regions of Genesis: Part 2 |
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 with two rings: on the right side is a regular ring with green terrain as well as normal creatures and the left side is a corrupted ring full of purple terrain and horrifying creatures. The ship is traveling through deep space looking for a habitable planet.
- New Features
- Asteroids in between the two rings that change after hyperspace.
- Unique missions that grant graded loots, including tek items.
- New Creatures
The map contains various new creatures, from a unusual but helpful Maewing down to a small but horrifying Noglin, the smart and curious Astrodelphis that wanders space, the robotic and ever-searching Stryder to be tamed, the sneaky Shadowmane that can turn invisible at will, the flying robotic sentries known as Voidwyrms, and the horrifying Summoner that can spawn other creatures to aid themselves.
Moreover a brand new variant of creatures called R-Creatures can be found across the ship, each possessing boosted stats from their original counterpart.
Unique Environmental Features
- Hyperspace, an event that appears during the night, this makes the sky go purple with millions of stars passing by and the ship will eventually arrive at another planet. This event causes the asteroids in the -Space- area to change afterwards.
- Eden Zone, a starter area for Survivors, filled with plateaus, mountains, rivers, and waterfalls, providing all necessary Resources needed for survival.
- Tek Trenches (Rock Tunnel) that act as technological bridges between biomes, and the two Rings.
- Corrupted Gardens, 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-, while low in biodiversity it does have asteroids that transform after a hyperspace event has occured.

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 of the missions to be completed on Gamma difficulty
- Beta Rockwell Prime requires all of the missions to be completed on Beta difficulty.
- Alpha Rockwell Prime requires all of the missions to be completed on Alpha difficulty.

Spotlight
Notes/Trivia
- This is the first DLC to:
- Have an initial starting cinematic.
- Not have any teaser Dossiers.
- Have a living biome.
- Allow all DLC engrams to be learned.
- Grant a TEK suit upon spawn, albeit with major nerfs and no fuel requirement.
- Not have a dawn, evening or afternoon chorus (a musical alarm telling the player it's morning, evening or afternoon respectively [1]).
- Take place on a massive spacecraft.
- Be extremely focused on Sir Edmund Rockwell.
- Not have a new Alpha Creature (Note: Extinction does not count because the Enraged Creatures technically count as Alpha Creatures).
- Be a second part to an existing map.
- Include a main menu that changes, depending on if you have defeated the final boss or not.
- Have a new Creature that can be controlled manually and mind control other creatures.
- Have a new creature that is a Monotreme (egg laying mammal) and can mate genderless.
- Have a new creature that can summon other creatures to aid itself.
- Not have a new Specimen implant rewarded for defeating the final boss on that map.
- This map is the last canon map to be added before moving onto ARK 2.
- Survivors come pre-equipped with a Federation Tek Suit upon entering the Genesis-Ship.
- This suit is unique in that it does not need fuel to use it's abilities, however this does mean that it has some major nerfs to prevent cheating/exploits.
- Just like Genesis: Part 1, Genesis: Part 2 has HLN-A alongside the Player.
- However she cannot teleport the Player to another biome, nor the final boss. But she still has the Hexagon Exchange available to use.
- Unlike Genesis: Part 1, Genesis: Part 2 allows the use of flying creatures.
- This map also contains missions, like Genesis: Part 1, however unlike it, all missions can be started from one of the mission terminals on the map.
- You can spawn a Mission Dispatcher for Genesis: Part 2 with console command:
cheat summon missiondispatcher_gen2_c
- You can spawn a Mission Dispatcher for Genesis: Part 2 with console command:
- At midnight in game time (00:00) the ship moves throughout the galaxy, giving the sky across the map a interesting effect. This is known as Hyperspace.
- This is the second map that allows players to tame Reapers without cheating, the first being Aberration.
- This is the second map to include an underground ocean, the first being Valguero.
- It is worth noting that the Allosaurus and the Parasaur are the only creatures to have two different biome variants on Genesis (part 1 and 2)
- Along with first big reveals of the expansion, Genesis 2 Chronicles had begun, adding several new Explorer Notes every few weeks to story maps in chronological order.
- Unlike Genesis: Part 1, this map has traditional Explorer Notes along side proximity-activated HLN-A / Rockwell notes.
- Asteroids found in the center space ring only spawn when the Genesis-Ship is out of Hyperspace. You can tell what these asteroids will be by the color of the drops around the area. For more details please visit the -Space- page.
- This map is the largest in the game.
- With a devkit that has a side by side map comparison with it to an ARK, the explorable area and mission areas of the colony ship when combined, dwarfs the ARK many times over.
- The devkit of the colony ship is compared to a planet (most likely Earth due to the barren state) is rather huge in many kilometers.
- The appearence of Genesis: Part 1 creatures means that the Astrocetus, Bloodstalker, Insect Swarm, Parakeet Fish School, and Ferox could possibly be real creatures and are not just made up creatures only used for the simulation.
- However this might not be true since the Gen 2 world could be considered a simulation due to the missions and the appearence of HLN-A.
- This is the second map to include a new creature which acts like a fighter plane, the Astrodelphis. The first map that did this was Crystal Isles with the Tropeognathus.
- The setting of Genesis: Part 2 has similar settings to various media:
- Halo
- The biome-laden rings connected to the Genesis-Ship have a similar appearance to that of the Halo Array from the Halo Series.
- The Eden Zone has a similar appearance to a normal Halo Array from the Halo Series
- Additionally, Rockwell's Proliferation is similar to areas of the Halo Array that is infected by the Flood from the Halo Series.
- Elder Scrolls
- Rockwell's Garden resembles Sheogorath's Daedric realm: The Shivering Isles with strange looking plant life, and a root system that is connected to the entire ecosystem.
- Both creators of Rockwell's Garden and Shivering Isles, Rockwell and Sheogorath respectively, have many similarities.
- The biomes they live in and made as mentioned above.
- Their biomes have highly dangerous inhabitants that are of their own creation, and have loyal servants.
- Have a personality that revolves around madness and insanity. Before their personality change, both were orderly and logical as Rockwell used to be a normal human who was thinking clearly and Sheogorath was formerly Jyggalag, the Daedric prince of order and logic.
- Ramble on to the player, yet they effectively make some good points about the player's motives.
- Both creators of Rockwell's Garden and Shivering Isles, Rockwell and Sheogorath respectively, have many similarities.
- The barrier of space between the Eden biome and Rockwell's Garden and its presence of Voidwyrms is akin to the Elder Scrolls universe Dragonfires, a ward that keeps the Elder scrolls realms of Nirn and Oblivion separate
- Rockwell's Garden resembles Sheogorath's Daedric realm: The Shivering Isles with strange looking plant life, and a root system that is connected to the entire ecosystem.
- Terraria
- Rockwell's Proliferation slightly resembles the Terraria Crimson biome, and that of the Wall of Flesh boss.
- Halo
