Whay Do You Feed the Christmas Gacha Ark

GachaClaus

Habitat

Spawns only during an Event.

GachaClaus is one of the Event Creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved.

Basic Info

Behavior

Place a single Mistletoe or Coal in GachaClaus' Inventory. He will walk around, then sit and eat everything in his inventory, and single crystals will grow on his back until one drops. You will get varying quality levels of Gacha Crystals which turn into Armor, Festive Dino Candy or weapons when consumed from your inventory (hitting the use key on the crystal). Only one mistletoe or coal is required to yield a crystal. GachaClaus will eat as many as 10 if placed in its inventory, yielding no better quality of loot. To determine if a GachaClaus will be lootable, check the crystals on its back. If there are crystals, you will get loot. If there are no crystals, he will consume the Mistletoe or Coal and not drop a crystal. The GachaClaus replenishes its crystals by smacking resources, so as long as it has access to resources, it will re-generate over time. Gacha Crystals will often times weigh less than the loot they contain.

If any wild creatures are nearby, it is best to kill them, as Gacha Claus hates being near them and will cause them to move more frequently. Predators may attack and kill Gacha Claus, so be prepared to defend him.

Merry Christmas and have fun!

Drops

GachaClaus has the same drops as the Gacha when killed, as well as the drops from the Gacha Crystals, albeit at a higher chance of ascended items. The difference between the Gacha Crystals from GachaClaus and any other Gacha is the chance to get Coal, Mistletoe, and other Winter Wonderland loot.

Combat

This section describes how to fight against GachaClaus.

General

Killing GachaClaus requires similar strategies to the ones employed on a regular Gacha.

Strategy

The GachaClaus is easy to beat so long as you use ranged weapons. It's slow and doesn't deal much damage.

Weaponry

Most weapons will suffice against GachaClaus, but a Longneck Rifle is generally useful to kill it with.

Dangers

It can be very distracting of other things around you.

Weakness

Due to its slow speed and low damage, ranged weapons will kill it easily.

Notes

Gacha Claus is the second "Santa Claus" to be introduced in Winter Wonderland, the first being Raptor Claus.
Gacha Claus can be forcetamed although it will require a saddle to be ridden (PC version). After being tamed it has production options to produce either mistletoe or coal, but if these are not selected and left untampered after forcetaming it will continue to produce crystals like a wild Gacha Claus. These crystals, however, provide no loot when consumed.
Gacha Claus doesn't despawn after the Winter Wonderland event, meaning one can still find them, but will be gone once killed
Unlike its regular variant, Gacha Claus does not become "happy" if mate-boosted by a nearby opposing-gender gacha claus, or sad at near same-gender gacha claus within 12 foundation or below.
