How to Install

Important: ARK save files are tied to a specific map and world save — back up your existing SavedArks folder before replacing anything, and note single-player and non-dedicated saves use different file structures than dedicated servers.

Close Steam and ARK: Survival Evolved completely.

Navigate to your ARK install folder, then ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks\ (find it via Steam → right-click ARK → Manage → Browse local files).

Backup your existing map save files (.ark, .profilebak, .arktribe) by copying them to your desktop.

Download and extract the .zip file, then copy its contents into SavedArks\, matching the same map name as your world (e.g. TheIsland.ark).

Launch ARK: Survival Evolved and load Single Player (or your non-dedicated session) on the matching map.

Your survivor loads in at max level with Ascension, all engrams learned, and a tamed creature roster ready.

If loading into a different map than the save was made on, some progress may not carry over correctly — match map names exactly for best results.

Map-specific saves: ARK saves are tied to the specific map (The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, etc.) they were created on. This save reflects a fully progressed profile on the base game map; if you play primarily on a DLC map, the engram/tame specifics may differ slightly but the overall completion level (max Ascension, all engrams, bosses down) still applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ARK: Survival Evolved save file safe to use?

Yes, for single-player or non-dedicated sessions you host — it only affects your own local world file and carries no risk to your Steam account. It is not intended for use on servers you don't control.

Where is the ARK save file located on PC?

Inside your ARK install directory at ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks\, as map-named .ark, .profilebak, and .arktribe files. Steam App ID 346110.

What is Ascension in ARK?

Ascension is unlocked by defeating the endgame bosses on certain difficulty tiers, granting permanent stat bonuses beyond the normal level cap. This save has Ascension fully unlocked.

Are all story bosses defeated?

Yes, the story arc bosses gating engram and Ascension progress are marked as defeated in this save.

Will this affect other players?

Only if used on a shared server — this save is intended for single-player or a non-dedicated session you host yourself, where it only affects your own world.

Does this work on all ARK maps?

The save is based on the original map; loading it on a different DLC map may not transfer map-specific structures or tames but character stats and engrams still apply.

About ARK: Survival Evolved

ARK: Survival Evolved is a survival game developed by Studio Wildcard, released in full in August 2017 after two years in Early Access. Players wake up stranded on a mysterious island populated by dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, needing to craft, build, and tame their way to survival and eventually to unraveling the setting's sci-fi mystery.

Creature taming is the game's signature system, spanning over 100 tamable species used for combat, transport, resource gathering, and breeding. Progression is engram-gated, unlocking new crafting recipes as the player levels, culminating in high-tech Tek tier gear after defeating story bosses across each map's boss arena.

Studio Wildcard supported the base game for years with free and paid DLC maps (Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis) each adding new biomes and creatures, before releasing a full remake, ARK: Survival Ascended, on newer engine tech. This save reflects the original Survival Evolved release.
