Resource Locations, The Center Resource Guide, Ark Survival Ascended 

Nice call out. I’ll definitely have to remember to add chapters on the next list I make. Thank you for doing that.

@@ChaosBearGaming you’re welcome !

Awesome, I am really glad I was able to help. Still Looking for a big oil resource and I haven’t been able to find the entrance to the huge underground area, they moved some of the entrances that I knew about, there’s so many resources down there, or at least there was.

Thank you very much, I appreciate that and I am glad I could help.

Yeah it’s quite hefty lol. It’s a quick way to get loaded on ammo too 😂

Thank you, I appreciate that

I am glad I could help, and thank you very much. I will be uploading another one in the next few days showing off some additional hidden locations that are rich in resources, as well and some underwater caverns that have all the good stuff.

@@ChaosBearGaming Can't wait to watch.

Yeah I was unlucky when recording this video. But I have seen a few there since. Also, thank you I really appreciate that.

Haha thank you, I appreciate it.

@@ChaosBearGaming Good luck!

Yeah I spawned in and there was 2 rexes fighting 2 brontos and was like how is this possible 😂 so much for safe island 😂

Yeah I realized that when I went into the trench lol 😂 there is literally like 100,000+ metal down there, and the dunk has an affinity for crystal, metal, stone, obsidian and oil.

Yeah I feel like Aberration is going to really hit home for the feeling of having a challenge in Ark. I am excited for it to drop. I am expecting we will get 2-3 new creatures. I am hoping the new creatures we get with the map add to what already makes it great and doesn’t take away from it. And that they fix the basilisk’s problems with not always eating the eggs for taming 😂

Good call out. I should have included that. There’s a few ways to get them. Kill alpha Mosas and tusos. Usually 50-100 pearls for each. You can have your otter kill fish and they will bring you silica pearls and the occasional black pearl (not a great way to get many, but if you only need a few more this could work). Find, kill and harvest Eurypterids. They are found at the very bottom in the doesn’t parts of the ocean. Near where you would find mosas and tusos. The tusos will be the best harvesting rates and then using a pick. The best weight reduction is the dunky for the black pearls.

@@ChaosBearGaming Welp, the server I'm on, the wild dinos are so powerful, that my near max level argy cannot kill two scorpions, and no wild dino pick up. Not sure I'll ever progress far enough to take on Mosas and Tusos, unless I change clusters.

Not sure if you are playing official settings or if you have boosted wild dino stats, but this may work: If you’re on land, then try to trap and tame a thyla. Their bleed ability will shred health and help you defeat stronger dinos. If you’re in the water then find some shallow water and try to tame a Xiphactinus. Just trap them with some pillars or Dino gateways and gates. They are one of the new creatures added into the base game. They are also a basic knock out tame. They have a bleed ability and a pack buff. So they get a mate boost bonus, a pack buff bonus and a bleed proc. Even if they are all low level, they can shred through all of the oceans toughest creatures. If you’re taking on an alpha then I would maybe suggest a few higher levels, but those two creatures should really help out. Also consider dire wolfs on land. they don’t have bleed, but they also get a pack buff and they have a howl that buffs their damage as well.

@@ChaosBearGaming thanks. Yeah, I just started fresh in this map on Wednesday. My only attack animal is argies so far. Can’t go to cold for wolves yet, as I don’t have fur armor and not enough points in fortitude yet.

I have passed by a few times and I have seen a few rexes, raptors, and also Ceratosaurus on that island. It’s definitely a lot more dangerous than it was in ASE. The island just north of it is quite a bit safer.

@@ChaosBearGaming does the island near it still have metal?

@@TheV1rusnot like the one by blue obelisk. I believe there is some metal on the upper section of that island, but there is carnos up there.

@@ChaosBearGaming carnos are no big deal really, thanks! This is gonna be my main metal spot for now

managed to get 2 autos up lol 🤞🤞

before i ever got the 600 pearls man i literally went through hell. first attempt was to fly around the middle of the map bc i remembered in the og map pearls would spawn in some lakes. couldn’t find any. then i tried the snow just in case. then the floating island. still couldn’t find any. then went to the water part of floating island couldn’t get to far sharks were about to kill me. then my last attempt before i found the cave was to tame a dolphin and go deep sea. i knew the ocean was risky with the stuff that stuns you. well i get a dolphin and bang! straight away i get destroyed by that new fish the x fish it doesn’t kill me but it killed my tame but look another dolphin was approaching it was a low level so it instantly tamed i jumped on and i was free and then BANG bloody 2!!!! of the x fish attack me kill me and my dolphin spent hrs trying to get my kit back was the worst start ever haven’t played since they started adding tek lol

Yeah locating them was difficult at first. That sounds like the biggest mega “getting arked” ever. That sounds real rough. Sorry to hear you had such a hard time. Those Xiph too are so fast and powerful. The bary is the best to deal With them cause of their stun, but barys of course can be difficult to get until you get some kibble. As well as a mount strong enough to deal with the swamp.

I found some caves that led to water areas that had lots of resources. I am out with the family for most of the night, but I’ll check it out sometime tonight or tomorrow and let you know. Or whip a video with underwater resolve caves. Sorry I don’t have an answer for its location right away.

@@ChaosBearGaming yeah hoping i can get everything underwater

A absolute boatload in the trench.

Duckies can be amazing on this map

@@harpaxpteso4153 I am sure there is plenty to discover. There are so many caves, the verticality on this map Is great. The island is just flat and the only caves are just artifact caves, the underwater caves on the center are so big and and have so much in them, it’s crazy

I have been trying to figure that out as well, not sure if it’s the PS5 in general, Ark, or ifs just that I forgot to disable the clouds and fog to help performance. I play single Player games like horizon forbidden west, Elden Ring and ghost of Tsushima and never experience that.
