Dragontopia's dragons reached ARK: Survival Ascended in normal game updates, so a server on the current game version already has them. There is no mod to install and no setting to switch on. Players need the ARK: Dragontopia pass to tame the dragons.

How to play Dragontopia on your ARK server

  1. Keep your server on the current game version. After a game update, set ARK Update to Yes, run update on your server's page, then click Save Settings and Restart Game Server. If ARK Update (Automatic) is on, a restart is enough.
  2. Run a map where the dragons spawn (list below).
  3. Players who own the ARK: Dragontopia pass can tame Umbra, Lumina and Gargantar.

Players on PC, PS5 and Xbox join the same server. The steps are in How to Join an ARK: Survival Ascended Server.

Which maps have Dragontopia dragons

On the servers we host, wild Umbra, Lumina and Gargantar turn up on these maps:

  • Ragnarok
  • Astraeos
  • Valguero
  • Extinction
  • The Center
  • Scorched Earth
  • Lost Colony

None have turned up on Aberration or Genesis, and almost none on The Island. To switch maps, click Browse next to Map on your server's page in the Command Center. Select the map, then click Save Settings and Restart Game Server.

What players need

  • The ARK: Dragontopia pass, to tame the dragons.
  • The same game version as the server. Players on a newer version cannot join a server that has not updated.

Dragontopia admin commands

Log in as admin first, as shown in ARK: Survival Ascended Admin Commands.

In the console, type cheat summon, a space and one of these class names to spawn that dragon:

  • Umbra_Character_BP_C
  • Lumina_Character_BP_C
  • Gargantar_Character_BP_C

Dragontopia settings

Dragontopia has no server settings of its own. To stop players crafting some of its items, open Server Config under TOOLS on your server's page. Its Engrams list has a Dragontopia filter, and each engram can be hidden.
