ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth - Gaia's Embrace Explained

Before we delve into the details of the Gaia's Embrace buff in Scorched Earth, we should note that this ability is exclusive to the Oasisaur, which can only be accessed (tamed and used) if you have the Bob's Tall Tales DLC package purchased alongside the Scorched Earth DLC. Once you have it, you're ready to take advantage of Gaia's Embrace.

Gaia's Embrace not only resurrects creatures when they die in its pool of water but also grants you a passive buff. This buff manifests as a blue glow around the player, providing increased move speed and health regeneration. Additionally, it clears ailments such as rabies and swamp fever. The buff stacks, last up to 30 seconds per stack, with players being able to accumulate multiple stacks for significant boosts.

The increased move speed is estimated to be around 15 to 20%, which is particularly advantageous in PvP scenarios. The same buff is applied to tamed creatures, enhancing their move speed and health regeneration as well. The buff lasts for up to 580 seconds and can stack up to 20 times, providing almost 10 minutes of enhanced abilities. Logging out in the pool retains the buff, allowing players to log back in without losing it.

Overall, Gaia's Embrace offers substantial advantages, including disease prevention, enhanced movement, and regeneration, making it a valuable feature of the Oasisaur that many players may overlook. So be sure to get your hands on an Oasisaur as soon as you can, granted that you have the Bob's Tall Tales expansion, and use this ability to your advantage as much as possible in both PvE and PvP.
