How to find and tame Jerboa in Ark Survival Ascended

The Scorched Earth DLC in Ark Survival Ascended has introduced a new creature called the Jerboa. This tiny creature can sit on your shoulder and help you carry items, essentially functioning as a backpack. It also has the ability to sense changes in weather, such as Sand Storms and Heat Waves, and will alert you with its unique growls and movements.

Locations to Encounter Jerboa in Ark Survival Ascended

A common creature, the Jerboa can be easily spotted throughout the deserts of the Scorched Earth map, making it a frequent sighting during exploration.

With that being said, here are the typical spawn locations for a Jerboa in Ark Survival Ascended:

• Northern High Desert
• Northern Canyons
• The Blasted Maw
• Western High Desert
• Southern High Desert
• Southern Mountains
• Southern Canyons
• Southeast Low Desert
• Eastern Low Desert

If you are the host of the server or playing alone, you can still use Ark Survival Ascended console commands to spawn a Jerboa.

Taming Jerboas in Ark: Ascension Survival Strategy

In the game Ark Survival Ascended, players can tame a Jerboa by utilizing the Knock-Out Strategy, which entails causing damage to the creature until it becomes unconscious.

Taming this creature is simple due to its low torpor and lack of defense. You can accomplish this by either punching it two to three times or using a Boomerang to subdue it.

Remember these important tips when taming a Jerboa:

• Utilizing a Bola to restrain the creature prior to starting the taming procedure can hinder its ability to escape.
• It is important to refrain from using weapons like a Crossbow, as it could accidentally result in the death of the creature rather than simply disabling it.

Once the Jerboa has been rendered unconscious, open its inventory and insert some taming food. The length of time for taming varies, depending on the type of food used. Eventually, the Jerboa will become tamed successfully.

Recommended Taming Food for Jerboa in Ark Survival Ascended

Jerboas have a preference for Plant Species Y Seeds, which can be acquired by harvesting desert flowers in the Scorched Earth map.

In addition, Mejoberry and other varieties of Berries can also be utilized for taming, albeit with a slightly longer taming duration compared to the creature’s preferred food choice.
