Finding skeletons
Skeletons turn up in packs: 6% of standard packs, 12% of XL packs and 20% of rare packs hold one, and after 29 packs without a skeleton the next one is guaranteed.
The dig site keeps up to 5 skeletons. A skeleton that does not fit turns into 5 tools instead, so nothing is lost.
Skeleton odds by rarity ›The dig site
Each skeleton is buried under a 5×5 grid of rock. Digging a tile costs one tool. A skeleton has 4 to 7 bones depending on its rarity, and it is fully excavated once every bone is uncovered.
Rock tiles show cracks: the number tells you how many of the neighbouring tiles hold bones. Read them to find the bones without wasting tools.
Getting tools
Your first skeleton comes with 15 tools, so the first dig is free. After that:
- XL packs give 1 tool and rare packs 2 tools.
- Completing all four daily quests gives 5 tools.
- The season pass hands out tools on both tracks.
- The shop sells 5 tools for 80 DNA or 15 tools for 200 DNA.
The incubator
A fully excavated skeleton goes into the incubator. Hatching takes from 4 to 24 hours depending on its rarity. If you cannot wait, hatch it at once for 25 DNA per hour left.
| Rarity | Time | Hatch now |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 4 h | 100 DNA |
| Uncommon | 6 h | 150 DNA |
| Rare | 8 h | 200 DNA |
| Epic | 12 h | 300 DNA |
| Legendary | 18 h | 450 DNA |
| Mythic | 24 h | 600 DNA |
The creatures of legend
The incubator hatches a random creature of the skeleton’s rarity from a pool of 20 that never appear in packs: real extinct animals such as the Elephant Bird and the Siberian Unicorn, and creatures from folklore such as the Jackalope, the Loch Ness Monster, the Yeti and the Kraken.
