ARK: Survival Evolved Extinction Guide- Corruption Awaits!

ARK EXTINCTION BRINGS CORRUPTION

Welcome ARK adventurer! Traversing a deadly Ravaged Earth immersed in corruption, fellow adventurers often come across the meltingly hot desert, chilling snow lands, and sunken forests found in this world to uncover the secrets and fight back against the corrupted. With corruption about, new creatures, features, and resources have led our expedition team on a journey into enormous mysteries waiting to be uncovered in the lands of ARK Extinction.

Discovering these creatures and how they’re connected to mysterious beings known as “Titans”, including the secrets behind these difficult-to-gather Orbital Supply Drops and Element Nodes that have been falling from the sky, will be our ultimate goal in learning how Ravaged Earth came to be. Join us as a fellow member of our research team as we spawn into the ARK Extinction DLC and see what technologies await through an ARK: Survival Evolved game server!

EXPLORING THE ARK EXTINCTION DLC MAP

OVERVIEW

Our first mission is to learn about the ARK Extinction map and the areas within it. The research map we have shows six different areas to check out including a desert, an icy area, a huge city, and extremely corrupted lands we’ll need to be careful in. Let’s begin our exploration at the center of the Great City and uncover each area on our ARK map!

MEET THE CREATURES OF EXTINCTION

As our team searched high and low in the many areas of the ARK Extinction DLC, we found creatures of all types from fliers, to creatures mixed with corruption, dangerous technology, and the most powerful of them all, the Titans. Here are the notes we’ve written regarding each of these unique ARK dinosaurs and creatures!

SNOW OWL

Within the icy regions of the Snow Dome, a majestic danger swooped down from the skies at our team. Appearing to its antennae to provide it with heat vision capabilities, the giant Snow Owl was able to find us hiding in brushes and chases us out of the Snow Dome! We plan to return in the future to tame this creature for its powerful abilities to transport our team, carry items, fight other creatures, and scout!

VELONASAUR

Upon entering the Desert Dome, we were greeted by a Velonasaur. Appearing quite slow, the Velonasaur opened its facing shooting spines towards our team. A member of our team was severely hurt as we ran! Having dealt such damage to our team, we plan to return prepared to tame this deadly Velonasaur to take advantage of its high-damage spines to help fight the Titans.

GACHA

While adventuring through the Sunken Forest, we discovered this quaint creature known as the Gacha. Being quite slow, the Gacha was kind to us generally just swiping at rocks, trees, and bushes to get food to eat. We noticed when two Gacha of the same gender were near, they’d become quite sad with each other.

GASBAGS

Traversing the wasteland, we came across these adorable and docile puffy creatures called Gasbags. Inflated like a balloon, the Gasbags in the wasteland would often float away avoiding us and predators all together. We managed to tame one for our expedition team and the Gasbag kindly helped with carrying huge amounts of resources across the Extinction map.

MANAGARMR

Returning to the Snow Dome, we happened upon this speedy flying creature known as the Managarmr. With its speed, it was very difficult to collect a picture let alone research this hasty beast. While not being the best at fighting, after taming the creature our research team has been able to utilize its incredible speeds to move across the maps and quickly gather data and resources for our teams back at camp.

CORRUPTED TECHNOLOGY

ENFORCER

Inside of the Sanctuary, we came upon this half creature, half technology being called the Enforcer. Thankfully, the Enforcers did not attack us survivors but when they noticed a threat, they called out immediately to other Enforces to take it down. We kept our distance and appreciated the protection they provided daring not to attack them.

SCOUT

Near Enforces, we found another helpful technology assisting us, the Scout. Scouts appeared to always be around the Great City, patrolling for threats and signaling to Enforces the moment they appeared. Together alongside Enforces, they made an unstoppable team to protect us and the city we were in.

TITANS

NEW ORBITAL SUPPLY DROPS & ELEMENT NODES

In our journeys of ARK Extinction, two fascinating types of drops kept falling from the sky around the Wasteland outside of the Great City. Orbital Supply Drops and Element Nodes, featuring various types and sizes of each with different rewards for protecting and harvesting them. Upon dropping from the sky, we went near them triggering an event in which we needed to protect the drop. Waves of enemies came upon the node, with the goal to destroy the node and to attack us as we defended. After a harsh battle, we were successful and reaped rewards including Elements, rare gear, resources, and even powerful weapons and armor!
