- This guide on the Best Starting Zone on the Crystal Isles Map Official version will show you the best places to start on the new Crystal Isles map. This easy starting zone guide will show you the safest starting zone in the Crystal Isles, and some of the safest and easiest metal locations on the Crystal Isles map. I will also show you the best starter base location in the Crystal Isles map which is big enough for an Alpha base, and I’ll explain why this starter base is so amazing. I will also show you a really easy trick to quickly and safely get up to the best starting base location on the Crystal Isles map using easy starter thatch structures. Keep an eye out for my tour of all the Crystal Isles starting zones coming soon.

Man I remember when you taught me to use the fabricator
Lol same
@@strangerthings3257 same to lol
I've been watching you for 3 years when I just started holy crap that a long time
Man, has it really been 3 years? That's crazy! Thanks for being with us from the beginning, it really helped us get off the ground as a new channel :)
Thank you so so very much. Every base location guide for this map I have found has been either PVP rat holes or super pretty spots with no regards to safety, access or local resources. Much appreciated.
I love you you’ve taught me a lot
Thanks it will help for a good start
Wow you guys are great to learn from! You guys are amazing! Definitely getting on this discord:p
What a great video, very calming and gets right into what you want to know.
Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully you will enjoy lots of videos on this channel in the future too :)
I went with the little island. When I spawned in, I made my home. Didn’t know I was very near the wyverns canyon. Quickly moved after my Tropy was attacked. I’m near everything, including oil. Can’t beat it! Thanks a bunch!
Nice! So glad you got a great starting base location :) And glad this was helpful! Keep an eye out because we have more helpful videos coming soon.
I made the mistake of spawning in the jungle area before watching this video. I got slaughtered by everything :D
nice amazing smooth voice great explaining! subbing :D
Thanks so much! :) So glad to have you here!
Very helpful video, thank you so much
Thanks I just joined a pvp server and I was wondering where to make my base so I wouldn’t die, This really helped me and now I’ve actually survived 11 hours offline because every time I go to sleep irl I die
Yikes!! That's why I haven't tried PVP yet, it sounds brutal lol. I'm so glad this helped you survive the night at least!! Just watch out for enemy flyers if you build out in the open up there. And if you want to see even more tricks for that spot, watch our let's play crystal Isles series because we have been living there quite well the whole time!
Thanks I’ll watch it I like letplays for ark also try a pvp letsplay
You are SO UNDERRATED
I had no idea it was that easy to make ladders thanks a ton
I just started Ark not too long ago and am playing crystal isles and wanted to get to this base location and i spawned there my second respawn :DD
That's awesome that you got here on your second spawn! I think it's about a 1 in 10 chance to get to this spot when you spawn in. I had an elaborate plan to get up here and ended up just lucking out to spawn right by the pond on our let's play series LOL! And there was a super rare Tropeognathus right in the screen, and a Unicorn nearby. I blame the unicorn for this ridiculous luck lol Here's our let's play series if you want to see how we're making this mountain work great for us! th-cam.com/video/dVTXSDWRa5c/w-d-xo.html How are you liking it so far?
Watch out for the plants int eh swamp thing. I was looking for frogs when I walked into one and it ate me lol
This guide is so good It made me play ark again
Thank you this really helped me
So glad it helped!
9:42 In this place spawns Unicorns, I see one there
Very helpful guide
Amazing location mate
Does anyone know why my stuff keeps decaying the next day I get on? I hide on top of a cliff and it all decays when I next get on
Big thank you for this video! I spawned close to this spot and after watching this promptly followed your steps to get up top. I love this location! I'm more of a casual player and like to take my time and this area has everything I need to get established. Made my home in the rocky alcove next to the pond and found a really easy route up to the metal on the upper layer. Creature spawns have so far been, trikes, pegos, dilos, turtles, dodo's ovirapters, parasaur, moschops and lystro. Pteranodon will also land on occasion.
That's awesome! I haven't started my own let's play on Crystal Isles yet but I'm so glad this worked well :D When you are ready for a challenge, you can head down the ramp to tame frogs, beavers, and baryonx too :) Thanks so much for letting me know this is going well, I'd love to hear updates on how your adventure goes.
made my place near the pond also, whats the route to the metal?
Nice! Are you liking living there so far? I keep finding more good resources near that mountain lol Here's the metal locations: th-cam.com/video/e9sFQoXE4u8/w-d-xo.html
@@MrSaxonWolfcock With the pond directly behind you and looking towards the middle of the island there is an alcove in the cliff wall. Along the left side there is a grassy incline that looks impossable to climb but is actually really easy to walk up with a jump or two. From the top move right and follow the cliff wall, its rocky up there but Ive not had a problem moving around. You are looking for a dark patch that looks like a cooled lava patch, it will be walkable up to the top area. At the top, near the first archway you will find very large metal nodes
@@ArkSurvivalGuide Loving it! was kinda sad a gamebreaking bug ruined my the center run so had to restart and this is a fantastic place!!!
nice video bro
don't forget fungal wood locations. I have only seen one video actually show were they are and the cliff platforms are so good on this map so I think you guys need to point this out. Also the blood hallow in surprisingly good starting point as a west zone were the red crystal is in the center of a pond. It's generally safe. In the crystal shallows there are also the occasional capro, sarco, and berries to worry about but after you tame a few they become manageable. I now hunt sarcos for hid when I'm running low. Still have to get one of the many wyverns in the area.
That is an excellent suggestion! We have more guides to make on Crystal Isles (Still!) but life got pretty crazy in 2020 so we're still catching up. Do you happen to have the coordinates of your favorite spot for fungal wood? I may be able to add that in a guide :)
@@ArkSurvivalGuide Yah and what's better is that I have a huge water pen that's deep enough for the lisicthus to spawn in out back! It also leads to a lot of rivers that connect to the swamps and the savanna zone with only a little swimming if you hug the left cliff. I just got lucky and spawned one time in it and set it up as my base. Not regretting it so far other then my use of the space was a little poorly planed out. I even tamed brontos off of my cliffs. Most of the blood hallow is just a really tall cliff area with swamp land in it but the area I'm in is interesting in that it's not a swamp but more like the sandy beaches area. It calls it the blood hallow though so yah. Anyway the fungal wood is far to the east to the south of the floating inlands. It's a rather large swamp with large trees. You want to be knocking down mushrooms the size of trees from the look of it. I also saw a video of of honey caves in the red woods. However the hives coun't as stone not the typical hives so bring a anky if you want lots of ridiculous honey. If you want cihten it looked like it was ankes or golems that worked best. Hope that helps. Oh I forget the other parts of the blood hallow can have spinose on a regular. I personally have seen four and have tamed two from them and one form the crystal inlands. I sadly got two of them killed. I plan on getting an expendable one before I go out on a spino again. Seriously my place isn't that far from the dragons nest either. Just a short swim in the right place up a hill and there they are. I even found a place with a water spring with in sight of the nest. I saw about 5 to 7 nest the first time I glanced over.
Ahh very cool! Is it somewhere near-ish the spot at about 35 minutes into this video? th-cam.com/video/n-BpCQDze9s/w-d-xo.html I've been planning to head to that jungle area and make an outpost on top of one of the highest cliffs on our Crystal Isles Live Let's Play Series pretty soon. (th-cam.com/video/dVTXSDWRa5c/w-d-xo.html) And YEAH I LOVE the honey caves! My favorite thing about them is they get you CRAZY organic polymer if you use the right tools. Here's a video on ways to maximize your gathering there: th-cam.com/video/PcVZxvQvIFY/w-d-xo.html
the entrance to the mountain through the swamp is actually safe. just stay near the wall the whole time and just run up. only dino i saw was a trike
16:16 whats the coordinates for that location, I have only found it once but later lost it
Thanks for the detailed video bud this will help a lot in a couple days the starter area looks great only problem being it will be a giant free for all to cover land in official servers lol I’m looking forward to it though
You’re awesome
cool location might move to it honestly but I want to check out another area first. My blood hallow spot though is really good early and late game. It has good access to a lot of area's a lot of metal, obsidian, and a huge water pen out back with some oil in it and I have even seen basalos in there. A shallow pond for breeding frogs and some flat platforms and the red crystals are easy to spot from across the map. You can even get to the dessert nearby and the crystal shallows are just across the river. Honestly it's a great spot. The cliffs even got me too early brontos. They have saved my stuff and my life on many occasions. Spinos surprisingly don't seem to spawn in my little hallow though they do spawn behind me. So that's great too. It's also really easy to get to the savanna. Once I have some tames that can kill basilisk I can even get to the citen terminate hills and gather all the cementing past and citin I will ever need! They are litterally just down the river from me. It's a surprisingly good place, though probably only good for single player because of all the ways in and out, with only a few select areas that are actually flat.
Wow that sounds like an amazing spot! Could you send me the coordinates for that? I hope to get my live let's play Crystal Isles game going again and I'll be looking for more good outposts as we spread out around the map :)
@@ArkSurvivalGuide I'll try to get you the coordinates but I think I described the area pretty well. It's just over the river to the crystal beaches, and fallow the water to savanna in either direction. It has a lot of crystals in the water and the pond is very shallow. The other water pond of note is far deeper but would also make a good base but it's actually in the swamp. There is one more now that I think about it but that one is very high up and hard to get too. It's far easier to stay near the fist pond. I don't do well with combat or unexpected situations so I like to stay in the safest places I can. I really wish the Rock drakes were in the official map as then I could tame the basilisk camping the savanna shores but that's just a minor grip I have.
What do they look like? And can you give me the longitude and latitude please. Thank you, I know I can always rely on your knowledge
im guessing the top right of the map is the aquatic biome?
also, i am noticing wild card made the crystal wyverns look as if they are almost coated in crystal.
Chris Boyd not really
why this map is so empty in some places. . .
I was struggling to do this only because of dehydration and starvation
Get berries and make a water skin
@@HypeXtra I carelessly spawned in the central zone, and if I couldn’t get to the nearest water body because I would’ve died from fall damage if I tried
is it safe to build in floating islands?
can you please show me how to put in the map extension
Actually @jeffrey I already did a guide on how to install the Crystal Isles on PC. It won't be out for Xbox or PS4 for a little while though. th-cam.com/video/wJmUOUHQ-jU/w-d-xo.html
Whoa just found your channel
Nice guide! +1 sub here, in time ill go to watch all the others u have done!
I remember when you taught me where obsidian was on the island
This game has so much memories, I remember the times when I thought taming a raptor was the coolest thing ever.
I personally think west and central are the best places to start then move to the ice island on the top right corner of the map
I died so many times trying to get up they just spawned me up there
Console gotta wait
Where can I find do noted
what is ur pc specs????
0 hate I can't hear you it's not your fault tho my phones volume is so quiet even at max 😂 loved the video still
where can i get chitin in this area?
If you want chitin for cementing paste, there are tons of beaver spawns on the beach by the swampy forest at the base of the mountain. You can steal hundreds of cementing paste from them already ready to go. There's also dragonflies to kill for chitin and frogs you can tame to chew the bugs down into cementing paste. If you need chitin/keratin as materials, there are lots of Trikes and Turtles you can easily get Keratin from. Hope that helps :)
i literally just spawned there
Where can I find obsidian?
Volcano area
I want to know the same thing.
Hi @Ashley Owens, since you play Ark on Switch, you can use this guide to find every resource spawn here: th-cam.com/video/ZETbrwzIJLA/w-d-xo.html I am working on a guide for where to find metal, crystal, and Obsidian on the Crystal Isles map so keep an eye out for that everyone :)
I think they updated it every 5 minutes I see a rex or a carno in this zone
Its the southwest zone
Bruh I legit spawned in the swamp
Me: *Goes to South West Cuz You Said It Is Usually Safe*
*Spawns*
Also Me: *Sees 105 level Spino*
Yikes!!! There are spinos in some spots closer to the jungles or deserts, but not many towards the ocean side. If you die and respawn a few times in the white Shoals you should end up in a much safer area, maybe even right on top of that mountain. It's random but there's like 15 spawn points you can get in white shoals.
Is there metal on the last area you can live
There's great metal on the very top of this mountain, and some on the back side too. Check out this guide for a lot of great easy metal locations on the Crystal Isles White Shoals: th-cam.com/video/e9sFQoXE4u8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks and I gotta give you respect for answering my comment on a video that 6 months ago while you have 21k subs and you answered the question in 2 hours that's amazing. I'm new to Ark so I have to subscribe and like this video also because that you reply and help people. Big love and support from me.
Thanks! I actually just started catching up on comments, but I'm not always great at keeping up with them lol. If you're new to Ark though, this might be a great series to teach you some really helpful tricks :) th-cam.com/video/FIV-5rSbMjo/w-d-xo.html
@@ArkSurvivalGuide ok Thanks
i play in creative and i tamde a tropagonathis
Awesome! Tropeos are SO much fun to fly! :D
lol we built right in front the pool
there is no place to build just pillars all over the place
turn up your mic
where is metal in this place?
Great question, this video will show all the metal spawns around this area th-cam.com/video/e9sFQoXE4u8/w-d-xo.html
@@ArkSurvivalGuide thanks i watched the video, big like
i have another question if you don't mind how can I bring much stone and wood quickly cause it take too much i am low lvl and have no mods on epic games platforme i heard it's differnet on steam
Happy to help! :) There is a setting under your game settings for harvest amount and you can increase that to get wood and stone 2x or even 10x as much per tree. This video will show you how to get thousands of wood and stone super fast even with default settings: th-cam.com/video/37alk-0gLj0/w-d-xo.html You can find beavers right at the base of the mountain in this video, on the beach next to the swampy forest at the bottom of the hill.
@@ArkSurvivalGuide thank you so much
Crystal isles but, Where i can find CRYSTALS
LOL Where CAN'T you find crystals on Crystal Isles ;) But seriously on this video basically everywhere you see one of those huge blue crystals that you can't harvest, it's almost always surrounded by several smaller blue crystals that you can harvest. There's probably around 30 crystal nodes on top of this mountain if you run around it, and there's a few in the spot I first spawned in on this video too :)
Also, I'll cover crystal locations on my next guide I'm working on today, which is the easiest places to get metal on the Crystal Isles map.
Ark: Survival Guide okey thanks because i tried to harvest those blue and I GOT STONE i dont know why
Oh yeah if you're using a stone pick you get a lot more stone than crystal on any crystal nodes. A metal pick should get a decent amount of crystal, and an Ankylosaurus will get TONS :)
Ark: Survival Guide ohh i havent tried that thanks
