How to Tame GachaClaus in Ark

Jurassic Park taught me that if dinosaurs were alive, then we would pretty much be dead. It also taught to always trust what Jeff Goldblum says and does. No matter the cost. Now imagine a world filled with Christmas themed dinosaurs that will eat you probably, but could potentially give you some sort of gift and reward. Yes, this is the last time we get to celebrate Christmas in Ark: Survival Evolved, so let us make the best of it. Here is how to tame GachaClaus in Ark: Survival Evolved.

How to Tame GachaClaus in Ark

Now, here is the thing. There is no such thing as GachaClaus taming. That means, that the article is over, Merry Christmas. No, but really, there is no way to tame GachaClaus and has never been. However, you don’t need to since he will be open to trade with you no matter what. That is nice of you, GachaClaus. Now, how do we trade with this season-themed Gacha? He will only accept some specific and unknown items we don’t have! Well, we will have to enter the world of Santa Claus multiverses.

You see, around midnight to 2am (server time) you will be greeted by a “Ho-Ho-Ho” sound effect. That means that one version of Santa Claus is flying in the air. Raptor Claus is its name. He will drop some gifts on the ground, so make sure to collect them all. These gifts can vary and can include weapons, armor, meals, money, etc. The thing we are looking for is Mistletoe and Coal. These are the items we can equip on GachaClaus’ inventory. Once equipped, he will eat those items and will grow primitive or even ascended Gacha Crystals. Seems like every version of Santa Claus loves to eat, after all.
