What is ark cryo sickness?

Ark Cryo Sickness is a condition that players can experience in the video game ARK: Survival Evolved, after waking up from cryogenic sleep. The condition manifests as an inability to move or interact with objects, accompanied by gradual health loss.

The cause of Ark Cryo Sickness is not clear, but it is believed to be related to a malfunction in the cryopod's reanimation process. The condition can be prevented by regularly "refreshing" the player's cryopod, using consumable resources called Element or Cryopods.

If a player does experience Ark Cryo Sickness, there are a few ways to treat the condition. One is to wait it out and let the sickness wear off naturally, which can take several in-game hours. Another method is to consume certain items, such as Stimberries or Stimulant, which can reduce the effects of the sickness.

In addition to the physical symptoms, Ark Cryo Sickness can also cause psychological effects, such as anxiety and confusion. Some players have reported experiencing hallucinations or hearing strange voices while under the influence of the sickness.

Overall, Ark Cryo Sickness adds a unique challenge to the game, requiring players to carefully manage their cryogenic sleep and resources in order to avoid the debilitating effects of the condition.
