I like to PvP, and PvE. Usually wearing an Exo Suit nowadays. Unlocking it is easy with no cheats needed anymore, and usually on a server, official or unofficial, I'm not fussed. Single Player is great though, certainly with a guide for any platform be it xbox, ps4, ps5, pc, it's great. Sometimes play MTS, and usually post patch/update. But a survival game needs some community news and that's what I do, giving you the latest on events, small tribes, maybe even fast flyers and primitive plus, usually covering all maps from Island to Genesis Part 2. And one day. ARK 2!

One small mistake guys. There is no obsidian on Redwoods mountain. I generalised it as I moved onto the other mountains. Whoops!
What PC/Laptop/Mac do you use?
@@tdub1776 PS5
Yes your video had some mistakes similiar to that, including alpha mosas giving bpearls.
@@Raasclark Thanks!
@@Raasclark North zone 2 it is a great area, The hidden lake is a great location for Beaver Dambs. I find that there are more creatures past the swamp and the green obelisk, you are near Fars Peak, and the blue obelisk mountain which both have a great amount of metal, Crystal and obsidian. The redwoods are very accessible past the swamp and the green obelisk. You are also close to carnivore Island in North zone one. But north zone two is a better location.
Loved the island more when it wasn't foggy or raining 80% of the time...
at least free water irrigation for the crops eh?
@@ruxiangg7312 well ... I guess...
@@baptistepholoppe5409 lol
I don’t, console players got handed the worst port in gaming history and can’t hardly play without rain turned down all the way. 💀
@@MrHydra12 Can’t say I have that issue
Raasclark: "You should build in the redwood forest!"
Thylacoleos: "We're about to end this man's whole career."

Island is one of my favorite maps and has always been.
Same
Really enjoying your videos recently!:)
heyo man dude can u fight every boss on ps4
Cheers mate appreciate it!
There may be a plan to showcase my PvP story once these map guides are done mate :)
i miss from when before you click baited
same
Underwater definitely needs a revamp in Ark 2
couldn't agree more, its terrifying which i love but its far too dangerous and sparse and doesn't have enough rewards for going there.
Underwater on the Center map is really fun and has depth
Try genesis underwater biome
Agreed, this is the only map with fog underwater 😆
Dude
Imagine a marine map
Like subnautica, but with tiny islands scattered with the occasional Dino and land resources:)
This was actually really helpful since I'm trying to start a play through with my cousin pretty soon and had no idea where any of the caves were. Plus were doing it online
PvP or PvE?
Thank god! Somebody that actually explains what I’m supposed to do. I tried following along with other Yt letsplays and they always start up fine but “grind off cam” and they already have guns episode 2
nice vid bringing the island in the spotlight a map that dosn't get the respect it deserves.
Thanks mate I'm right there with you. Great map!
Thank u this help alot to find the artifacts
Definitely is going to help new people to this game😁 watching this made me remember what it was like starting a long long time ago 😂
North snow was where my group set up there first base. We already had allies up there who did well for themselves and so we decided to build there. It was a hard area but it was a lot of fun. Eventually the friends left and our house and Dino pin were the last things there. Yet I took the advantage and made a base at blue ob that ended up as our main base and last one as well. As the game force spawned all resources destroying our house. And eventually the game came out full release and our official server of 248 island never came back.
I remember startin on this map. I didnt know anything. I hope i would get the feeling of playing ark first time again
Love the Island and love playing through the whole story line on it
i love the island and this video made me sure it was my favourite map
So much memories with this map, I remember years ago way before Rag being on official pvp. All the battles and raids and factions. So much memories. Then they hit us with the flyers nerf then eventually the volcano eruption....never turned back to that map.. 🥺
Same here mate. Alliances would lock down the volcano for metal runs lol
@@Raasclark volcano is still inactive on mobile though😁😁
@@abdulmoid267 oh really?? *proceeds to download*
Early days of ark were amazing, until people started cheating and exploiting bugs, hopefully ark 2 can address those issues
I found a therizino bp while watching this in the water cave and felt like I needed to thank you.
Thanks again
Most of the time if you go to aberration that will be your main map for a while as it’s so hard to beat or leave.
I love the island. All the Dino’s were real and fun to tame or find.
Thank you. I'm sort of...new. I'm finally sitting down, and beating this beautiful game that I've missed out on for far too long
Very excited to start my Island Only vanilla PVP server on PC! Returning to The Island in all its glory!
This has to be one of the most usefull guide things because I have no idea where to go and how ready I should be
I love the island, I main the center but I built on an iceburg and always stop by to help new players out. Always riding around on my thyla kickin' some good BP's out.
Center is by far my fav too!
thanks man
Love your vids 😀
Thanks mate!
That video was really helpful!
Thank you 😀
Great vid bro keep up 🔥🔥
Thanks mate 👍
Love ur vids man!
Thanks mate 😀
Really enjoying the channel, i subbed :)
Thanks mate 😀
gr8 video m8 keep it up!
Thanks mate 😀
Ah yes, the island. with an almost complete lack of any flat land for creative builds.
But that makes it better. You have to be even more creative for awesome builds!
@@Mr._L Novice builders: "I'm building a box as my base, who cares about flat land!"
Intermediate builders: "This map sucks, there's no good flat spots to build cool buildings on!"
Advanced builders: "No flat spots? Fine, I'll just make my own flat spot out of pillars and ceilings!"
Or just build it with columns...
Quality videos man
Cheers mate
LETS GO
"Raasclark!?"
Very good advice but only one drawback:Your video is very centered around pvp, how about showing us some good spawns and base locations for single player or pve gamers?
YES
@@ultraanimations7467 Here are some coordinates. Around 72, 76 is a Plateau surrounded by Cliff walls, one slope down to a very narrow beach, one near a river. Second location, 72, 69. That location has a river near it, plateau surrounded on all three sides by cliff walls. 14, 69. That is the next location. Weather top is a plateau on foot paw island, near the south zone one and west zone one start zones.
Stop it, you’ve unlocked all of my faction memory’s
Greatest voice to fall asleep to. No jk, thanks for uploading such guides (Y)
Haha cheers 😅
Ahhh the memories
Great video 😬
Thank you 😀
On mobile, oceans are generally lame, the most terrifying thing would be the freakin eels, mosa's are nasty ngl but once you position yourself well enough in a underwater cave, taming one would be a piece of cake, not to forget mentioning that oceans are generally empty.
Well, in my island, next to the spawning i am getting tyrannos, some spinos, and even got a rex. Also a bigboy spawned into my base.
forests on the Island are too dense.
later maps seem to realize that: they have more areas where you can actually see.
frequently, flying over the canopy reveals none of it's contents.
that makes finding new tames difficult as you basically have to run along the ground, but the thick forests means you're either on a small mount dodging trees or on a large mount, destroying a tree every 5 seconds just to clear a path to walk.
maybe it's to balance the resources available... but i think the devs just didn't like having empty space. maybe they thought it looked "unfinished"
maybe that's why i like the desert biomes on maps like ragnorok or the lost island: clear view of the surroundings (without those nasty scorched earth weather effects)
Been playing on Rag mainly on my Switch, literally played over a week now and just came across my first artifact in the jungle area, behind and between a bunch of gorilla statues. So, I could upload my character from Rag and my dinos and send them to The Island, right? Do I have to beat all the obelisks?
You actually inspired me to do a full play through of the Ark series on each map
Ah thats awesome mate! I'll get that SE guide out for you ASAP then!
@@Raasclark in currently doing a play through of all the maps. I just killed alpha monke
Great Vid! One thing I would include for players is Tekgrams, island is one of the best place to get them, and for some reason a lot of players don’t know where to start for like Tek turrets or the Tek suite etc - well thought out tho and keep up the great work
Thanks mate. I did toy with "the path to tek" but feel it deserves its own vid entirely.
On wich map is the flat green area whith small Mountains and gigas? I see it in Almosen every ark Video but cant find it ingame
The islands where it all started. I never really cared for it but I also never really hated it. It was the island that allowed me to learn how the game was played before I switched over to scorch. It was the place that allowed me to figure out what Tamed dinos are good for what certain thing.
It had some decent bosses some okay caves but you are right terrible building locations. But I will say it's probably the one map that has more detail on it than any other map because it was the beginning.
As much as I love Scorch, aberration, Extinction. And all these Maps look beautiful they did felt like they were never lived in unlike the islands where you can see there was past civilizations and tribes that used to live in this place.
Plus the drawings and the notes and the details of dinos that exist on that map.
A good starting area is the islands for anybody that gets into Ark it's a bit difficult but it will definitely teach you everything you will need to know.
Just avoid the swamps as much as possible swamp fever runs rapid on the islands one of the reasons why I instantly went straight to Scorch and didn't stay on the islands I was getting tired of constantly walking out and having swamp fever and never getting rid of it because I can never make a less antidote.
I only play on the island lol. I enjoy that map way too much and cant find any good Cluster Servers so I just stay on the island
@@adrian9420 and again it's perfectly fine to be on the island like I said it's not a terrible map it's just not my favorite but it will keep a place in my heart because it was the very first map I played and the very first map that allowed me to learn all the things that I would need to learn.
I just hate the island for the simple fact swamp fever is everywhere especially servers where the coastlines are just covered in that huts and everybody has swamp fever
@@goldtoothslair3052 oh yeah I totally forgot about swamp fever because I always play on small Servers
@@adrian9420 yeah and again my issue with that whole thing is the easy zone is Larry the right next to the swamp that you can easily catch swamp fever from.
One of the rare ingredients that you're going to need is woolly rhino horns or Death Worm horns which requires you to go into the hard Frozen Zone in Islands which if you're just starting out the game don't have a base maybe one or two dinos to your name and barely any levels you're not going to easily get a woolly Rhino horn
I love the island when I wanna just chill and build.
Well damn, this started off peaceful haha
I remember when i used to watch YT, because i didn't have the money for the game. One dude had a base Before the swamp be there... poor dude
Can you make one for single player worlds I have never beaten the game and I have had this game for 5 years
I still love the island
Or you know, you chould pick it cuz its the first map to beat in the story
1:05 i built my base there on my playthrough
the good old days
Please do this with every map!
Already working on SE mate
Leful voice over bro👍
Thanks mate 😀
3:46 So I’ve been playing ARK for two years and have beaten the Overseer without cheats and I have NEVER known these pearl caves existed. You learn something every day
Can't tell you how much it pleases me to hear im helping experienced players too! Thanks for the comment 😀
What's the outro music please? Sounds so nice and pretty
It's no copyright lofi mate, sadly I've lost the name of the song
5:18 The most metal there is ~ Raasclark like Yoda
😅
I only need massive artifact to defeat broodmother then i kill all bosses and go to tek cave then i start my world on ark Ragnarok
super big fan lmao u have merchandise
Ah thanks mate! Yeah a few asked if they could support so thought I'd set something up that could at least benefit you guys too haha
@@Raasclark cool I will try and get some
@@thethe4304 Ah wicked! If you do, post a pic on twitter ;)
@@Raasclark ok
The Island would be a absolute great map if the spawn rates were improved. The thing that killed me the most doing a solo Ultimate ARK run trying to run through the official maps was the utter amount of hours utterly WASTED trying to find high level tames needed for boss running. In spite of starting in the Fall of 2018, by the Spring of 2019, I still never found a Rex with respectable base melee, and every Rex I found had below average HP for the level/taming efficiency I achieved, and it absolutely gutted my experience. When I defeated the overseer I went to Scorched Earth hoping it would be a bit easier because of the Rex spawns are predictable and more farming worthy, but even then it was still absolutely bad. Even on Valgureo which doesn't have the best rates, it's still light years superior rate wise than The Island.
I love the Island but it's soul crushing to play on it just because of how bad the rates are. I see so many level 5-25 dinos that it makes me cry.
Upgrade wild Dino stats in the setting menu next to all the arks
Most of the time you can't build in caves housing artifacts, also I do believe you can't transfer Artifacts from other maps, you can't even transfer Apex drops unless there are methods that aren't cheating that I'm not aware of. I also don't play on many PvP style maps either so idk about them but on PvE you can't build in caves. Also building in an artifact cave seems kind of cheap too, not only are you blocking the Artifact and the loot crates but also the Explorer notes inside that people may want. Note to mention the Artifact being in the cave provides a reason for people to go in and spot your base making it probably not the best hiding spot. But people who do those kind of things are why I don't play on public PvP servers.
I'd certainly say I'm looking at this more from a PvP point of view in that case mate. Wasn't aware you couldn't in PvE?
Easy fella, Any news on a update for the ps5 ?
None yet I'm afraid buddy. If I hear anything at all I'll be straight on it!
This might sound weird but your game has a blue tint or at least looks like it to me and it looks really good is there a way to get that or am I just seeing things?
I've not altered anything tbh mate. It's filmed on PS5 if that helps?
@@Raasclark okayThanks!
You recommend to transfer apex items over? Is that possible?
You can't sadly
Yo, any three points would create a triangle! ~@1:22 In fact, any three points define a plane (not the one that flies, the one like in UE4 you can make a terrain from). If you mean equilateral triangle, I never checked... but holy cow, just because I be a math teacher (sic) in the NYC BOE for about 2 years in the late 1980s until I realized the High School kids were functionally illiterate, so couldn't do math either, (and it was pre-pre prison training), doesn't mean I don't remember stuff. That hurt me Raasclark, that hurt... like your Ark videos though... except for the ones outdated but not updated to say so, so I get into trouble sometimes... (like Argies can't pick up Barys anymore).
Any three points actually does not create a triangle. They could create a straight line.
@@dakotataylor993 hmmm, I'll stand corrected in that I didn't say that the minimum number of points to define a triangle (or plane) are 3 points. 2 points min for a line...
You messing with me? You want to do push ups, fat!? (sry, channeling Let's go Brandon).
Please do one for scorched earth
Watch the end of the vid mate 😀
Will you be doing survival guides for other maps?
Yup. SE coming very soon!
@@Raasclark nice! You sir have just got yourself a sub
@@thejudderman2786 Ah thanks mate!
What is the music?
I got a mastercraft pike in a purple drop
I no longer have that mastercraft pike blueprint because my save data for the island got corrupted, I’m probably just gonna go back to one of my other saves, or I’ll end up losing interest in the game and stop playing for a while, I just tamed a max level argy and a max level tek stego too
How about tames? what creatures are worth taming? Plssss make one as welll
Check my top 10s mate
Here before pterafier
Is he working on one? 🙃
I've never realised the obelisks are in a triangle
Like the island except for 2 things: too much swamp and too much damn rain and fog. Also no high lvl Dino’s. So I guess that’s actually 4...
They really need to quit moving the dam like button on youtube lol
ur like the vaati of ark lol
Sup dood
do you guys remember when there was no lava in volcano, no redwoods and the obelisks were like boss or difficulty specific. I miss those days when therizenosaur or smth didnt exist
Did a vid on it just recently!
What if you’re starting out?
played before swamp snow and redwood biomes
OG
Could we get a crystal isles version?
It'll be coming mate 😀
i want Large AF Ragnarok alike map :(
I can't afford any other maps
Next do scorched earth
Check the end of the vid mate
@@Raasclark oooh bet I don't see the end but thx
When you are so early that max quality is 360p
Haha! Yup
Thanks youtube
@@P3rsonL When 30min has gone and it's still 360p
@@Raasclark when it’s about to be a hr and it’s still at 360🙄😂
Hey any news on the ps5 enhancement?
I've reached out for comment. No news yet I'm afraid.
@@Raasclark okay thank you I want it to come out so bad
Right kids it’s rass claught
Me looking for a strat on a pvp server 😭
I hate raptors, lost 2 pteranodon trying to get to an argy spawn and lost a ton of stuff because of like 8 different raptor in a small hill area
Single player. How to solo the bosses.
Step one enter boss Arena
Step two run up to boss and pause the game and use the "kill" command.
Step 3 protfit.
Very fun
Right now, the island is my least favourite map just because I played it for too long, now I main the center or ragnarok
start in the redwood?!
once you learn the dangers its not too difficult
2:14 hmmm...
First
:)
The first because i have no life lol
Doesn't make sense that the red ob is the easiest one
I wish they would add more to the island. Gets boring end game
1st comment within a month
why is in 360 p yet?
Yeah I'm wondering why too.... it's not usually this long to bump up to 1080p. Will give it 15 more min then maybe reupload
