ARK Survival Ascended Sushi: How To Craft And Uses

With the recent addition of the Archelon in ARK: Survival Ascended, players now have access to new resources that the creature can produce and gather. One of the most notable is sushi, which can be crafted using its byproducts, and its benefits are worth noting.

In this guide, we'll walk you through how to craft the new Sushi consumable in ARK: Survival Ascended, explore its uses, and explain how these simple meals can become a vital part of your survival strategy.

How To Craft Sushi In ARK Survival Ascended

Sushi is a new consumable item in ARK: Survival Ascended, introduced alongside the Archelon. This item is made using the algae naturally produced by the Archelon. To begin crafting your Sushi, the first step is to tame an Archelon - if you don’t have one yet, here’s a guide on how to tame one.

Once you've tamed an Archelon, use it for a while to let it accumulate algae. Then, simply interact with it to collect the algae from its inventory. To craft one stack of Sushi, you'll need the following materials as well as any sort of Cooker:

• 20 Archelon Algae
• 3 Raw Prime Fish Meat
• 10 Longrass
• 1 White Coloring

After crafting, Sushi lasts an hour in your inventory but can be stored for longer in other containers. Sushi is primarily useful for taming, as we’ll discuss next.

Using Sushi For Taming In ASA

The description for Sushi explains that it can be fed to any knocked-out wild creature to restore lost taming effectiveness, recovering around 10% per use with a 5-minute cooldown. This helps maintain your taming progress, ensuring it doesn’t slow down as the creature remains unconscious and consumes your taming food.

To use Sushi, simply knock out a creature, place the Sushi and its required taming food in the creature’s inventory, and you'll immediately see an increase in taming effectiveness. This is particularly helpful when taming larger creatures, reducing the risk of them waking up mid-tame.

As someone who has experienced the frustration of a dino waking up during taming and then attacking within seconds, I can say Sushi is a game-changer. It’s a valuable tool for both new and seasoned players looking to boost their taming efficiency. Now that you know how to craft and use Sushi in ARK: Survival Ascended, be sure to give it a try!
