Silica is honestly really a nightmare to gather on Aberration, and on ASA in general. Removing their glow makes the game look much more bland and make farming them more annoying and difficult. On Aberration, I truly feel like a street beggar with how silica-poor I am. Removing their spawns is just ridiculous. Wildcard completely ruined Aberration overall honestly. It just doesn’t feel the same.
Yeah it’s a huge pain. A tip I didn’t think to say is that bulbdogs can breath underwater. So you could bring them with to farm pearls by hand as they will illuminate the area making it slightly easier to see and they won’t drown. Then upgrade to The angler fish once you have tamed one. Light from both creatures will Help in locating the pearls. I do agree though there was some big map changes and I am not a fan of all of them lol. I also hate that they destroyed my little Island of paradise outside portal. it’s so bland and sad now 😞😂
Check the centre out. I only just started but there was a spot on the centre in ark evolved where no other spot in ark could beat it. RU-vid more information
Yeah the center has a cave on lava island where you can just manually pick up loads of pearls and it’s relatively close to the shore so it’s fairly easy to access even early on. You just need to worry about the few creatures you may find inside.
Look in the river with mini waterfalls at the bottom right of the starter lake. There’s a ton that look like copper down there. Or kill trilobites in the river early game
Hahaha thank you. When I uploaded the first aberration video I tried making it like I was telling a story. Everyone seemed to have liked it so I have just been trying to stick to detailed story like scripts 😂
This was an excellent guide, as usual from you. However, I'm trying to figure out one of your metal spawns. at 2:18-2:23 You show a nice cluster from the green zone but I don't know where that is? I might be able to find it on my SP when I get home... but if you can share the coords, that would be wonderful. Also, I would like to add that Ravagers get a weight reduction on metal and stone. (maybe other things, too) and their exclusive ability to use zip lines makes them an excellent mount for harvesting before you get a karkinos.
Sorry I thought I included those. That’s 100% my bad. Here’s the details on how to get there: A zip line can be found at coordinates 29.2 Latitude, 53.2 Longitude. It is located on a small hill that you will need to walk up. Follow the path, passing the charge station, and at the intersection, take a left. Continue walking until you spot a large, jagged rock formation. Behind this rock, you’ll find some mushrooms concealing another zip line. Take that zip line, and immediately to your left, you’ll see another one. After using this second zip line, you will arrive at the plateau, which is home to the metal deposit. Walk a little further, and you will find the hole containing the metal nodes. Alternatively, you can head to coordinates 40.2 Latitude, 49.2 Longitude, where you will see a large waterfall cascading into the Blue Zone. This will Be on the ground level. From these coordinating and while looking at the waterfall turn right. Follow the main path, which leads into what appears to be a small cave. Inside, look up to your right, and you will see a ledge. By constructing a few foundations and ramps, you can gain access. Once you're finished gathering the metal you want I would recommend to pick up the structures to allow the metal to respawn. For reference, the coordinates for the small cave are 41.8 Latitude, 44.2 Longitude. I hope this information helps! I should have 100% showed it this way in the guide. Definitely a learning experience. Thanks for sharing the info, the great question and the support I really appreciate it.
@@xAnalysisx which coordinates are you looking for? Sorry I didn’t think the first two needed coordinates, but that’s my and. I did also forget them for metal spot 4. I posted them on another comment on here. Let me copy paste that comment for you. Sorry about not putting those in.

Yeah of course. Glad I could help. I posted another comment on here as a response to someone else about metal location 4 in the green zone. It’s a long comment. It will give you better directions on how to navigate there on foot 😀
man i was having sucha rough time finding metal near the portal spawn. I finally moved up by that gree/blue border by the trilobite spawn but trying to find a good spot to build was so rough for me. Very well done video i totally needed this 2 days ago lol but still incredibly valuable today plus exploring is fun. Seems i got a good spot though, have to farm a ton of trilobites for pearls/oil/chitin. There metal and sap tree nearby t even. Sadly i cant seem to get the fish to bite there. I'm just missing honey.
Sorry I would have had it out a day sooner, but those darn bees held the video up by a day lol. Glad to hear it’s helpful though. I think that’s the same place where I want to set up to when I start a playthrough. It’s basically on the river, and near the blue zone and mostly safe.
The Green Zone is a maze for me when I’m starting off. I always spawn at Edge 4 and run to the Trillobite river. Yi Ling’s spawn near there and are the only predators aside from the occasional Raptor or 2. Definitely a solid spot to start off. 6 or 7 metal nodes and most are rich nodes. Just try not to drag Yi Lings down to your base as they’re annoying
That’s the area I featured as number 7 in my base guide video. I really like that spot as it’s close to a surface entrance(just up the hill, on the right) so you have loads of metal at your finger tips, you also have some metal nodes out on the plateau, there’s 2 gas collectors nearby, a charge station right there, you are also right next to the blue zone and the cliff just to the left of the waterfall inside the blue zone is loaded with metal, some decent obsidian spawns and I believe maybe some gems as well. Then the river is full of otters so they help with hatching eggs, and then the trilobites for Chitin, pearl and oil. It’s definitely one of my favorite spots 😀 yeah the Yi ling can be quite aggressive, they have a pretty large ago range.
@@ChaosBearGaming I’ve used a Karkinos and Anky to drop into the blue zone for metal and came back up the hill towards the east of that. I’m new to this map and haven’t found the surface yet. The layout of the map is very challenging without a flyer and I’m here for it.
@@Psycho_Raged yeah it’s definitely challenging and that makes it great. There are 5 entrances in total to the surface. 3 in the green zone (I show two of these in the video, maybe it’s 1 I don’t remember, lol), and then 1 in the blue zone and 1 in the red zone.
It took me 3 different wipes for there to not be so many 😂 If it was dodos I wouldn’t have minded because at least I could see over dodos. But paracers shake the entire screen when nearby, so they had to go….
Thanks for posting this video. On Xbox, I found quite a few queens/drones simply flying around the area (above the broken track east of the portal spawn area). I've never tamed a queen; can you tame them if they are not in the hive?
Yeah of course. Yes you can take the queen without a hive. The hive is not needed. It’s actually easier without the hive because you typically have less bees to deal with before taming the queen.
I actually did not know of that spawn until after I made the video. But I have seen it in a few other videos. Thats probably the safest place to get red gems for sure 😀
@@davidm5172 that’s true. I wonder if the cosmo lets you attach to zip lines. That would be a fun to set up a jumping playground in single player if it could.
the insane amount of black pearls i gathered by using glider and cosmo spider to get back up from the giant tek spine wierd construction is insane. gathered 9k already. and alot more to go, just need silica pearls
Yeah that trench on the banks of the element river are insane for both black pearls and obsidian. I think one area has well over 20 pearl spawns and then there is an area that has almost 20 obsidian rocks in a tight little area nearby the spot I showed in the video. The shallow part of the lake is the best place to get silica pearls in my opinion. There was around a dozen fairly close together.
Uh... You didn't show one in the video. You suggested getting them from earthquakes and roll rats as an early, and getting more once you have a radiation suit
@@gamingnebula5704 at 10:29 I showcase a node of red gems in the blue zone. Not sure if that’s the same one you are referring to, or if there’s more that I didn’t find 😂
@@gamingnebula5704 it’s okay lol. There was a lot of content and I know there was times I powered through some of it probably faster than I should have 😂thanks for bringing it up because it’s a great cluster of gems everyone should know about 😀
Yeah of course. This is a copy and paste from another response to a comment I got about questions for that area. The 2nd part may help your situation as well. A zip line can be found at coordinates 29.2 Latitude, 53.2 Longitude. It is located on a small hill that you will need to walk up. Follow the path, passing the charge station, and at the intersection, take a left. Continue walking until you spot a large, jagged rock formation.

Go to the surface entrance at 19.5 Lat, 28.2 long. The one I show for metal at 2:43. Once you ascend the cliff on the surface there is a bunch of oils nodes on the main path on the left hand side. Reapers spawn quickly though. Otherwise down by the element river you will find a few spawns on the banks by all the obsidian.
Sorry for misleading you with the clip. They will attack the frog. I had turned on “leave me alone” so the creatures wouldn’t all attack me while I was doing the demonstration. So it’s probably better to use a cross bow to kill the jellies and then harvest it with the frog.
When you use the fish baskets on the trilobites you actually tame them. So we can tame them now, but they can’t be breed so unless you want one just wandering around your base, being tamed is kinda useless at the moment 😂
Dang you got me, I did forget to mention fiber 😂 Get yourself a nice metal sickle and give all those bushes a nice haircut. You can also harvest the seaweed in the lake and it will give you a bunch. The best way though is probably to tame a moschops, direbear or a gigantopithecus. The big monkey and moschops when set to wander will auto harvest fiber for you and can get 1000s quickly. The bear just has a high gather rate so they get a bunch when you harvest the bushes.
Go fishing with sap and there’s a chance you can get some raw prime fish meat. Also there should be Sabertooth salmon in both the green and the blue zone cave. They may also be found in some of the water in the blue zone, but I can’t say for sure. Harvest those salmon with a metal sickle and they will give you raw prime fish meat.
@@getrexxed066 yeah I am all for making the game look nice by filling in areas with more details, but don’t make the grind more painful than it needs to be 😂 The lighting also makes it challenging. The bulbdog and the angler both help though with their light sources.
2:20 a rav isn't a resource dino as it doesn't farm resources just kills stuff and eats them. It's a utility dino like a crab or argy n such. Kinda pathetic u don't know that n made a video. So I'll dislike n stop here cause u obviously don't know much
You're absolutely correct in pointing out that the Ravager isn't classified as a resource-gathering creature, as it primarily collects resources by consuming corpses. When I referred to it as a "resource dino," I was considering its role in a group alongside the Ankylo, as it’s common to bring both on metal runs in Aberration. You're also right in noting that utility tames serve specific niches within the game. The Argentavis is an excellent example of a true utility creature-it can harvest corpses, fly, carry other creatures, and has the ability to reduce the weight of certain resources. The Ravager is similar to the Argentavis in many respects, but instead of flying, it can traverse zip lines, and while it doesn’t carry creatures, it offers a pack buff, making it invaluable in group scenarios. So, while you're correct that the Ravager isn’t a pure "resource dino," it is frequently used in tandem with resource-gathering creatures like the Ankylo, which is why I grouped them together in the context of Aberration, especially early on, before taming a Karkinos.
