This map really is the perfect map, every Biome, Maewings, Managarmrs, snow owls, three new creatures, giant map, lots of caves, lots of castles, temples etc. And a very high amount of caves and pve spots.
I love the architecture of this map. The zones make sense via the topography. They also tended to put the right dinos into locations that would fit their lore. Smaller, more nimble creatures in the jungles makes sense as opposed to hulking behemoths.
Actually been my biggest concern with Fjordur. Swamp is an Island instead of being blended into the land proper. Oceana do not really exist, there is very little depth. Lost Island in comparison looks believable.
@@Alte.Kameraden yeah lost island looks belivable and has very beautiful geography and biomes. I think that fjordur definetly has more content and looks different but if you don t like fantasy and like the tropics more than the ice this is a map you ll definetly love.
I built right next to those air vents. It's a nice, central location, with quick access to 5 biomes and the air jets are great for getting quick height on a diving flyer, like and owl or maewing (both of which can be tamed near by).
@@ivorybrooks9243 roughly 64, 41 There is a big lake and a sorta mountain right around it Very, very nice place, i was super tempted to build there but i wanted a treehouse base I had a look around the place for metal nodes but didnt find anything unfortunately, did get slapped by a mana tho so be careful heading into the snow lol
I love the map, but there's a fair number of problems the devs need to work on. - Super concentrated ocean spawns - Mesh problems - Including *Alpha* Carnos *and* Aberrant Raptors in cave(s), making them *very* difficult, especially when you can't use big creatures throughout.
The mesh problems are the biggest issue, IMO. They're especially horrible in the Ice Wyvern trench. You can fall through the map in many spots in the cave at the end of it. You can fall through cliffs all around it. And no nests/eggs spawn in it. It's absolutely ridiculous. I don't mind alphas and aberrant raptors in caves. I think that's great. I like the danger and challenge. The ocean spawns do seem off. I've gone through huge areas with nothing around. Then I've been in areas where sharks seemed to come out of the woodwork. I really wish Wildcard cared more about getting things right.
I really love(d) this but it crashes and drops everything except survivor progress levels. I researched and it's common, heartbreaking and ruined because of it. As I said I researched and there is NO way to restore the files; unless someone HAS, but it doesn't seem so. I quit.
I agree with the mesh when I have a Sinomacrops on my shoulder I immediately mesh in water but I used a spawned in fjordhawk for eg or a micro raptor I don’t mesh
I feel like the scorched earth area is inspired by the continent of yokuda from the elder scrolls, because yokuda is the ancestral home of the red guard race, which in Tamriel, have settled in the province of hammerfell, an arid desert of a region.
Its a very good time to come back. Im pretty new. Still on the island. My son and i are gonna finish it this weekend though. We're trying to play in order and i hate it! Lol
Is it me or am I the only one who has been cursed with a thousand leeches converging somewhere around the swamps close to the green ob? I swear there were at least 100 of them, all crawling out of the water in different directions at night with nothing but a torch on. It was nightmare-inducing!!!
I love your map vids, this map seems amazing the best so far since it has all the engrams unfortunetly only 1 boss, hope Fjordur brings all engrams too.
All you have to do is say "this map returns to primitive" and boom no one complains. Even though there are OP shoulder flyers, magmasaurs made a joke to raise, all 4 wyvern types present, x and r variants, abnormally intense lag, easy managarmrs with no counters, easy boss for element, and feroxes. Iirc managarmrs were one of the biggest complaints about extinction, and they are even easier to tame that before. You have net gun.
Amazing video Raas! I’m just getting back into ark and I love your informative videos, it’s really hard to find unofficial servers through the ip’s though.. since many players are scattered around different maps and servers. Great work! Im subscribed.
One map to rule them all. Really fun, but damn so much rexes and carnos it's annoying sometimes. They just wiped big parts of a green and blue zones for me.
Raasclark you made a bit of a mistake there buddy. Lost island isnt the first map to introduce more than 1 new creature as ragnarock added both the griffin and ice wyvern both were new creature to official ark. The ice wyvern might only be a vairaint but its still a new creature same with val and the different wyvern types on there again they might only be vairient but they are still new creatures.
Raas I love your videos but I can't find the caves using your coords. I spend hours searching the general area and end up stumbling across them or give up because they are not anywhere to be found. Once inside your instructions are bang on. They really do help, thanks for the info.
Ah the way you present the map makes me want to start fresh again. Our cluster and the people rushed it so hard and were done and gone within a 1-2 week span of time and now everyone is bored again. Our players have the attentionspan of a 7 year old haha. Anyway the map is nice yes but the fog.. that damn friggin fog and the fps drops when facing redwoods...otherwise yes, fun map, fun dungeons and.. 10/10 caves behind waterfalls!
Not sure why but in my map the ocean near the dessert has an overspawn of x-dunky and other water creatures. Which really makes it harder to roam around there.
There’s a ton of alpha mosa’s and teuso’s for me, It’s nice to have a lot of them but I’m pretty sure no sea creature can take on 3 alpha mosas all at once
Why does your entire video look like it has some sort of fuzzy filter on it making everything look grainy? I tried changing all the resolution settings, but the entire video looks weird, all of the back ground elements look like there are 2 videos super imposed on top of one another like a bad newspaper alignment. What did you record this with??
Hi raas. Just a quick question mate if I may. Are you having problems with low level Dino spawns? I have all my difficulty settings on single player correct but they are all so low level.
Hey Raas, not a lot of people are talking about this, but apparently a lot of Xbox players are having SE and AB pretty much unplayable for about two months now. No loot drops, no artifact spawns, no Rock Drake/Wyvern eggs spawning and whenever you try to do the bosses, it just teleports you to the middle of the map. Could you please do a video about it to raise some awareness for the issue?
Finally someone’s talking about it. I just started ark not long ago and had no idea what was happening but really ruined the game for me. Hopefully this gets fixed…
Was it just me or was this video really fuzzy? Anyways just finished your series of videos great work on every one! I'm a casual ARK player but I learned useful tips for the maps I dont normally play -usually the Island or Valguero - and even for those two I learned a lot
This map really is the perfect map, every Biome, Maewings, Managarmrs, snow owls, three new creatures, giant map, lots of caves, lots of castles, temples etc. And a very high amount of caves and pve spots.
Is there any reason why my map looks different?
What's your opinion on fjördur?
Fjordur enters the chat
yes bc u use the island not lost island@@hazard9578
@@maxmustermann1533 It's possibly the worst. Played it for about half an hour and never played it again. Same can be said about crystal map.

The whole map is based off of elder scrolls lol
lost island is basically just the island but with more biomes, more creatures, and a bigger map. its just a better map.
Just wish it didn't lag so much lol
Wow, I randomly looked this up as I was considering getting back into Ark, definitely was not expecting a video uploaded only a few hours ago, nice
Same bro

I've never seen leeches on this map 😅 crazy though
Dooppeee another useful vid! I still haven't been all over the map yet, there's so much!
The master of the maps is back at it again! Thanks for all the useful information!
A bronto killed my gallimimus so now I have a vendetta against their entire species
Love these little summeries you do, all importent Info in one short Video! Big thumbs up!
Just as I'm about to build and play lost island you release this perfect timing
been waiting for this one 🙌
I love your map vids, this map seems amazing the best so far since it has all the engrams unfortunetly only 1 boss, hope Fjordur brings all engrams too.
I never cared for bosses as i hate having my work revoked so i wouldnt sacrifice dinos in bossfights

Yessss! Its here, thanks raas, i really enjoy you telling us about the different maps.
Dinopithecus is dangerous but thylacoleo is still king of redwoods
This was really helpful. Thanks Raas!
I wanna save this video! It was super helpful!! I’m excited to start this adventure fresh again
The map is brilliant, but I can never seem to escape the jungle ngl, everywhere I go it’s jungle or swamp, like the og island, still a good map tho
Was waiting eagerlyfor this vid, thank you. Will be so useful for me and my bud' s run
Best Ark video I’ve ever seen. Great overview.
I tamed two low level Yutis for kibble and a female 140 rex to go with my 150 male i tamed a while back. now im happy!
My favorite map so far from the 4 I've played
Amazing. Perfectly Amazing video Raas 👍🏻
One map to rule them all. Really fun, but damn so much rexes and carnos it's annoying sometimes. They just wiped big parts of a green and blue zones for me.
The one map to rule them all would obviously be genesis 2 +this map.
@@Taleof2heads genesis 2 is honestly so cool, could go into a lot about it but my favorite addition besides the infinite tek suit is 110% the reapers.
Best guides as always mate
I am fairly new to ark. I very much appreciate your videos... Absolutely Superb!!!!
got the game for free years ago, never played, just started on this map. so much to see and explore i cant wait
I found this video really helpful to how i'm going to play the game, thank you.
Fantastic I’m starting on lost island immediately after boss fights on the island been prepping too long video makes it tempting af tho ngl 👌
I honestly love this videos so much, he should do that on some modded maps maybe
2 years late, but recently we've just had an insane amount of Stegos. There's just an abundance of Stegos no matter where you go.
I'm rewatching this because i miss it and want it in ASA but Im genuinely worried. I'll never be able to play it on official again
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you needed this vid
Honestly looks amazing and I hope I will be able to play it tomorrow when it's on ps+. Where should I make base?
im actually having a ark war with my friend on this map 4 days after this is commented to so thanks for the details :)

How are your voiceovers so goodddddd ❤️
Ah thanks mate appreciate it 🙂

“Hey you, you’re finally awake”
love your vids this one helped me i couldent find out how to fight boss keep up ur vids :)
im defo gonna have my hand full with this one

Had to check out that swamp labyrinth, since I have a base near by, before the end of the video lol it’s a nasty place
"Easily tamed sinomacrops" my bummbumm... haha. Doing it as intended is almost impossible. Fortunately signs still work.

Oil veins can be found at the bottom of the map in the desert as well as near the volcano
The maewing is easily the best flier in the game.
I think it was underappreciated in Gen 2, because of the free tech suits, but it's much more useful on a map where you don't start with tech.
Its not a flier its a glider lol
Its the best map in ark right now.
But for console we need still some update before it runs perfect
Not sure why but in my map the ocean near the dessert has an overspawn of x-dunky and other water creatures. Which really makes it harder to roam around there.
No it’s not just your map, I’ve also run into this problem

😂😂😂😂 @@majnuker
When he said it had the mana and the furoxes I was sold at that moment

6:03 oh no they dont have the shirt
I built a base in the middle castle area and north there is a cave with metal and crystal behind a waterfall this is one of my favorite maps
Looks lovely mine keep lagging like crazy makes it imposible to play
tamriel looks good
I dunno what shaders or graphics settings you got on but the double-vision the geometry had in this vid was.. super wierd lol
maewing or whatever are very cool but cant get saddle on this map :/
I decided to quit ark just when Lost Island dropped...it hurts, but it needed to be done
Any idea where the water cave you mentioned at the end is at? I can't seem to find it. Love the vids tho!
It's in my let's play in the description 🙂
@@Raasclark I found it, thanks so much!! 😊
Is anyone else finding it really laggy and huge mesh problems since the update?
this map contains level 300+ alpha rexes on the surface O_O
You forgot to mention the oil veins as well as the castle base with metal cave nearby
WOW i didn't know there are so many maps in one,in fact you dont need to get allof the dlc maps,JUST GRAB LOST ISLAND AND HAVE'EM ALL IN ONE
Hi raas. Just a quick question mate if I may. Are you having problems with low level Dino spawns? I have all my difficulty settings on single player correct but they are all so low level.
We are mate!
So to get hair styles do I need to go to another map or is there a way to get them on this map?
Technically speaking crystal isles introduced more than 1 new dino, the three wyverns, but noone will count that tho it is true
Technically speaking they're all variants of the same dino mate 😉

What song do you use for this it’s pretty chill

A ferox spawns in the artifact of the strong cave

Are X-rock elementals tameable in the immune cave (doubt but still)
Tbc mate but I'll be jumping on it soon!
Wait, didn't crystal isles bring crystal wyverns and tropeoghnatus? So technically that was the first mod map to bring two new dinos
Did you guys know there is two Unicorns and Two titanosaurs?
Everything is so blurry, my eyes hurt watching this video
Ok so I have subtitles on and they captions changed how he said lost island every time first 3 examples
1: last island
2: lust island
3: lost Ireland
