Thriving in the harsh landscapes of Ark Ragnarok Ascended demands strategic preparation. Every corner of this Viking-themed terrain harbors threats, making companion creatures essential for longevity. Among these allies, shoulder-mounted creatures offer both practical benefits and charming aesthetics.

These compact companions provide unique survival advantages beyond their visual appeal. When perched on survivors, they passively transfer specialized abilities to their human counterparts. The Otter stands out as a particularly valuable ally, offering enhanced thermal regulation that proves vital in extreme environments.

Locating Otters in the Wilderness

These amphibious mammals primarily inhabit freshwater systems across the realm. Explorers should focus their search on two key coordinates:

• Waterfall Basin: Navigate to 61.1° latitude, 32.6° longitude. Approach the cascading waters and scan the pool beneath for Otter activity.
• Mountain Stream: Journey to 69.5° latitude, 64.9° longitude. Follow this flowing watercourse downstream until reaching its oceanic confluence, observing the aquatic life along the banks.

Both locations require underwater exploration. Equip appropriate gear before diving to locate these temperature-resistant companions.
