Best Way to Heal Dinos in Ark

The only thing that makes Ark stand out among other titles is the dinos. Having dinos by your side means that you must need to take care of them. Taking them out with you on a hunt or a raid to another base will give them some sort of damage. To deal with this, you need to heal them with different items. 

You can try various methods to heal your tame. But, what’s the best way to heal dinos in Ark? Well, we have made this guide for you to answer this and discuss other possible ways. 

The most common way to heal your tame is by using different food items. This can include raw meat, vegetables, and berries. Additionally, you can prepare other nutritional items. They have even more healing power. 

We are going to discuss these methods in detail. So, let’s just get straight into the content. 

Best Way to Heal Dinos

We have a few different methods that we can use to heal our creatures. Each one of the methods comes with its difficulty and effectiveness. Depending on your experience with the game you can go with any of the methods. 

Here are the ways to heal dinos. 

1. Using Berries & Vegetables

This method is the most basic one, any beginner can use this to heal dinos and other creatures. In this method, you just need to collect berries from the bushes. This can be done either by using creatures or just by using your bare hands. 

As you get the berries you can place them in your inventory or in your dinos inventory. Whenever the creature gets hurt, it will automatically consume and heal itself. 

Another thing that you can do is prepare Sweet Vegetable Cakes. So, this is a great item that recovers the HP efficiently. Sweet Vegetable Cakes are better than berries but require them to be prepared in Cooking Pot or Industrial Cooker. 

Here are the ingredients that you will need. 

• 2x Giant Bee Honey
• 4x Sap 
• 2x Rockarrot
• 2x Longrass
• 2x Savoroot
• 4x Stimulant
• 25x Fiber
• 1x Water

All of these ingredients will go in the Cooking Pot and will give you 1x Sweet Vegetable Cake. As we all know, Ark has various types of creatures including Carnivores, Herbivores, Omnivores, and some TEK creatures. So, the vegetable & berries can only be consumed by Herbivores. 

2. Raw & Cooked Meat

This is the second method for healing dinos and is best for carnivore creatures. Raw Meat can be easily obtained by hunting down creatures. You can either choose to hunt down smaller creatures or you can go with the bigger ones. 

However, the small creatures will give you less amount of Raw Meat. So, if you have already moved yourself to higher levels then you should kill the big creatures. Additionally, you can harvest their corpses to obtain Raw Prime Meat. 

Once you have collected the Raw Meat, you can either use it uncooked or make it much more nutritional by cooking it. To cook the Meat, you will need to have Campfire. Here you can use the fuel and place the Raw Meat to cook it. 

3. Plant Species Z

This item is not much effective but it does help in recovering your creature’s health. Plant Species Z is only available in Aberration, Genesis: Part I, and Crystal Isles. 

Plant Specie Z can be grown by placing its seeds in a crop field. The seeds can be found in Plant Species Z plants. Once the plant is grown from seeds it gives off fruits. These fruits can either be used as flash-bang or as health recovery items. 

Only wild plants can restore the health of players and tamed dinos. The plotted ones only serve as a flashbang. 

4. Healing Creatures

In Ark, there are a few creatures that can heal other creatures in your team. These creatures are able to heal themselves and even your other dinos as well. 

The first dino is Daedon. It’s a pretty strong dino, you can use it for combats as well. Daedon has several attacking techniques that allow it to heal dinos. The first one is Group Healing, the second is Passive Healing, and the last one is Short Attack Healing. 

Now, the second one is Snow Owl. It has an attacking technique that freezes any target and heals it. This can be the opponent as well. So, you can use Snow Owl to heal any creature using its freezing attack. 

So, there you have all four methods to heal your dinos. The best way in my opinion would be the healing creature. It’s quite effective and doesn’t even take over your inventory space. Daedon is better than Snow Owl as it has three different healing techniques. And more importantly, it can even heal itself. 

Ark Dino Healing Brew

Unfortunately, there is no dino healing brew in Ark. Actually, there is a Medical Brew and you can use it to heal the character’s health. The Healing Brew has the ability to recover a character’s health by 40 points. 

If you are looking to craft this Healing Brew then you will need the following ingredients. 

• 20x Tintoberry
• 2x Narcotic
• 1x Water

These ingredients will go in Cooking Pot or Industrial Cooker. 

How to Heal Dinos Ark Fast? 

All of the methods discussed above are best to heal dinos in Ark. However, the fastest is consuming food items such as Sweet Vegetable Cake and Cooked Prime Meat. These items instantly recover the health points for your creatures. 

So, you see that we have several different methods of healing dinos. All these methods are the best ways to heal dinos in Ark. So, It depends on your experience and level if you have an Industrial Cooker structure at your base. If you do have it then you can go for the cooked stuff. Otherwise, you can go with the uncooked stuff. Or even the healing dinos, which is a more reliable way. 

Hopefully, you have enjoyed this guide and have found answers to your queries regarding the healing of dinos.
