Discover everything you need to know about the GachaClaus guide in Ark: Survival Evolved and how to fight against it.
ARK: Survival Evolved is a popular survival game that takes you to a universe full of historical creatures. You need to survive being stranded on several maps filled with dangerous creatures like dinosaurs and fantasy monsters. The game offers unique creatures that directly or indirectly benefit your character. While some creatures are harmless, most are offensive and can attack you on sight. GachaClaus is one of the creatures that benefit your character in the form of useful items. This Santa-looking creature drops crystals which can collect useful items. Feeding the GachaClaus is difficult as you need to collect specific items. In this guide, we’ll discuss GachaClaus drops, and how to find and tame them while progressing in Ark: Survival Evolved.
GachaClaus Overview in Ark: Survival Evolved
GachaClaus is a creature that drops loot during the Winter Wonderland event in Ark: Survival Evolved. Feed it the mistletoe or coal to get crystals, which he will then drop. A crystal will grow in the upper left corner. GachaClaus will sit down and drop a crystal when the crystal grows. This creature wears a Santa hat and has holiday-themed colour skin. However, you cannot tame or breed it like the other regular Gachas. GachaClaus can appear in Ragnarok near Viking Bay or snowy regions and in Valguero near White Cliffs or forests. It’s best to keep it in one place while feeding and I prefer Mistletoe over Coal for better rewards. You can also use Griffins to quickly find the GachaClaus in the world.
Appearance Overview of GachaClaus in Ark: Survival Evolved
GachaClaus is one of the Event Creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved. This creature appears during the Winter Wonderland event. The appearance of GachaClaus is distinct from that of normal Gacha. It has a red and white Santa-like theme and wears a Santa hat on its head. He has a frosty, festive color palette, featuring red, white, and green tones. There are a bundle of gifts on his backpack and have glowing particles that increase its attractive and magical look in the game. However, the size of the GachaClaus is the same as that of the standard Gacha. GachaClaus does not make crystals by consuming the items.
What does GachaClaus do in Ark: Survival Evolved?
GachaClaus produces crystals that can be used to get loot and chibis in Ark: Survival Evolved. You can feed GachaClaus mistletoe or coal to get the crystals. GachaClaus drops the same items as the Gacha, but with a higher chance of ascended items. He drops crystals that have a chance to contain coal, mistletoe, and other Winter Wonderland loot. When consumed in the Inventory, the Gacha Crystal will give whatever item the Gacha was told to make.
You can consume it using the E key to gain certain items within the item wheel of the Gacha. When the Crystal is consumed, there will be no reward given, if you obtain Gacha Crystals through cheats. These Gacha crystals contain rare items like Chibis, Weapons, Armor, and other resources. Dino Candy is a unique item that you can obtain. This item allows you to increase movement speed and change the dino colors.
How to fight against GachaClaus in ARK: Survival Evolved?

You need to focus on quickly dealing with damage, so equip the best weapon. This is primarily a gift-giving creature that has limited combat capabilities. Defeating this creature is pretty easy if you use the right strategies. It’s best to use the ranged attacks from a safe distance.

It has a much higher health than the regular Gachas. The Gacha may die if the wild dinos attack it long enough. GachaClaus usually appears in open areas where regular Gachas spawn. They can either be in The Island, Ragnarok, Valguero, and Genesis & Extinction.
