How to Get and Use the Sanguine Elixir in ARK: Survival Evolved

ARK: Survival Evolved has had its revival recently, with many old and new players joining the fray. In it, you are stranded on an unknown island where you build your way up from scratch, but there is a catch. Dinosaurs roam around the world of ARK, alongside mythical creatures like griffins, phoenixes, and wyverns. 

Taming these creatures is an integral part of the gameplay, in addition to collecting resources. To obtain the Sanguine Elixir in ARK: Survival Evolved, you need to combine these two actions. Here’s how to get and use it.
