Instead of laying eggs, the Solwyn carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 4 hours and 12 minutes at default rates.

The baby Solwyn takes approximately 2 days to fully mature at default rates - over a lengthy period. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The Solwyn's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~292 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~24h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Solwyn gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Planning a mass raise? The Solwyn raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~292 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Solwyn babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Solwyn as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the DMG classification.

Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. With 650 base Health, the Solwyn is solidly tanky. A base Weight of 375 means a solid weight pool.

To tame the Solwyn, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Raw Mutton for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Solwyn is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. A wild Solwyn is worth 6 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.58 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
