ARK Survival Ascended has two paid DLCs available for players in the form of Tides of Fortune and Dragontopia, and there are new Engrams available in both for you to unlock. All Engrams have unique in-game functions, and they take strong influence from the themes of the DLCs.
Here are the Engrams now available with the paid DLCs (Needless to say, you’ll need access to the DLCs to collect the Engrams).

All new Engrams in ARK Survival Ascended Tides of Fortune DLC
The Tides of Fortune DLC has plenty of new Engrams to collect (especially compared to Dragontopia). The table below has the complete list of all new options and their in-game roles.
| Engram | How it Works |
|---|---|
| Aquarium | You can display your best catches after transferring them using the Fishing Basket. |
| Aquatic Compartment | Enclosed area with an aquatic theme. |
| Briganite | Large ship, perfect for faster travel. Reasonably customizable and has good firepower. |
| Bounty Board | Generates missions to gain Hexagons and then spend them at the exchange. |
| Corrosive Ship Cannonball | Does direct damage upon impact and also corrodes the surface of the object with Acid damage. |
| Cargo Ledger | Helps to record how you’re storing items and also allows you to withdraw objects easily. |
| Incendiary Ship Cannonball | Exploding projectile that pours flaming sludge and does fire damage on impacted enemies. |
| Market | You can buy from other survivors and sell them our items. |
| Grapeshot | Bullets used with Hand Cannons. |
| Reinforced Ship Cannonball | Better version of the standard Cannonball. It deals more damage to the target on impact, and you can also use it against destructible structures. |
| Shovel | Use this tool to find treasure chests and underground water. You can also use it to till the soil for improving the plots. |
| Tidepup Saddle | Allows you to ride a Tidepup. |
| TOF Lights | Activate the light source with electricity. |
| Sloop | Medium-sized ship that travels fast and moderately customizable. |
| Shipyard | Allows you to construct and manage your ships after you place it in water. |
All new Engrams in ARK Survival Ascended Dragontopia

There are just two new Engrams in the current build of the game.
- Drake Claw: Fires a claw that dashes towards a target tame creature or location.
- Umbra Saddle: Allows you to ride an Umbra.
The Umbra is a new creature that’s exclusively part of the Dragontopia DLC. Once tamed, you can then use the saddle to ride it. I believe we will have more additions to the DLC as more time passes.
