New ResourcesNew FeaturesNew CreaturesValguero features a new creature, the Deinonychus. The deinonychus lays its nests throughout the map and stealing one of these Eggs is the only way to tame a Deinonychus aside from breeding one. They are very strong and hard to kill in packs.
There are also two variations of the Rock Elemental, the Chalk Golem (in The White Cliffs) and the Ice Golem (in the snow desert). These two variants are identical to the Rock Elemental in every way except for their appearance.

The rock drakes were however removed in the free DLC as mentioned in an official livestream with the developers.Beached icthyosauruses are harvestable for Organic Polymer and Hide, as well as dead carboneyms for Spoiled Meat, hide, and Keratin, similar to how beached basilosauruses on Ragnarok are harvestable for Oil.Valguero is the first official free DLC to have Aberration content on it without the need to purchase the DLC. However it doesn't include a bio-luminescent region within the Aberration Trench. Also, the entire Aberration area is considered a cave and therefore, flyers cannot be ridden inside and managarmr's cannot use their dive ability.Valguero has a Wyvern Trench, like that of Scorched Earth and Ragnarok. However, only 2 types of wyvern exist in this trench, that being the fire wyvern and the ice wyverns. The ice wyverns live above ground, while the fire wyverns live in the underground section of the trench.Although Griffins were shown in the trailer for Valguero, they do not spawn on the map.Valguero is unique in having all the ocean creatures but no ocean surrounding the map. Instead, a large lake is present. Valguero is also the first map to have an underground ocean, known as The Abyss, in addition to its lake, where the ceiling is rock, you can't swim to the surface for Oxygen, and dangerous creatures like tusoteuthises spawn.Valguero is the first expansion map with a roaming boss, the Broodmother.Valguero is the only expansion map to not have the Artifact of the Devious.Original Creator TeamButtMan - Map Owner, WM Landscape, Level design, Blueprinting, Optimisations, BugfixesNekatus - Level design, Optimisations, Bugfixes, Community ManagementTrappel22 - Level design for the Aberration partEvolanca - Hosting Test servers, Original Website Portfolio, Texturing, MinimapChangelogPatchChanges309.53Fixed a bug that allowed building within the boss arena on ValgueroSpotlightGalleryExternal linksValguero - ARK Expansion Map on SteamValguero - ARK Expansion Map on Epic GamesReferencesvteLocations in the DLC: Valguero Displayed are the locations for Valguero.
