    ARK: Survival Evolved Extinction Guide- Corruption Awaits!

    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.

    ARK Extinction starting area

    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

    ARK: Survival Evolved 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!

    SANCTUARY

    Sanctuary in ARK Extinction
    Near the center of the Extinction map where we began our research, the Great City or Sanctuary lies. Abandoned this city appears to have remnants of great technological advances in the civilization that came before. Some writing we found even inside the city indicates it was the same civilization that built the previous ARKs.

    DESERT DOME

    Desert Dome area in Extinction
    To the southeast side of the world, we uncovered a Proto-ARK known as the Desert Dome. In it, it seems many secrets are hidden along with an activation terminal. Appearing reminiscent of challenges from the Scorched Earth DLC, it appears this is the area where a Desert Titan lies in wait.

    SNOW DOME

    Snow Dome in Extinction
    Journeying into the northeast side of the map, we found another Proto-ARK dubbed the Snow Dome. Frosty to the core, the snowdome had many similarities to the Desert Dome with an activation terminal that appears to activate a Titan. The Snow Dome also appeared to indicate similar challenges to that found on The Island ARK map.

    SUNKEN FOREST

    ARK Extinction Sunken Forest area
    Discovering holes near the northwest of the world, we traveled down discovering unforeseen lands and forests very deep down! It felt like a maze as we nearly got lost before discovering another mysterious terminal. It appears this terminal activates another Titan as well. It seemed many of the challenges we faced were similar to that of the Aberration DLC ARK world.

    WASTELAND

    Extinction Wasteland
    In between every area, we faced the dangerous Wasteland. The Wasteland appeared to only contain small pockets of life with devastation everywhere. We found one area in particular, the Sulfur Fields, to be one of the most livable in the entire Wasteland!

    FORBIDDEN ZONE

    Extinction Forbidden Zone
    Nearly losing our whole research team, we came across an area at the top middle of the map called the Forbidden Zone, and for a good reason! Dangerous corrupted creatures flooded the area chasing us out. It also appeared that this area was connected to the Desert Dome, Snow Dome, and Sunken Forest with an activation terminal that appeared to spawn an extremely frightful Titan.

    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!

    ARK Snow Owl

    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 in ARK

    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 in ARK

    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 of ARK

    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.
    ARK Managarmr

    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 in ARK Extinction

    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.

    ARK Scout

    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

    DESERT TITAN

    Desert Titan in ARK
    In the importance of discovering the mysteries behind Extinction, our team began activating each terminal. Once the Desert Dome terminal had activated, a ginormous flying beast appeared displaying a huge shadow on the land below it. The creature began to summon lightning and send powerful minions called flock after us. Long ranged weapons and Meks with the M.S.C.M. assisted us in taking down the Desert Titan.

    ICE TITAN

    ARK Ice Titan
    At the next terminal inside the Snow Dome, we discovered the dangerous Ice Titan. On all fours and with teeth, huge claws, and horns, it stood at over 253 feet (77 meters) tall! As the Lord of Winter, we found it quite difficult to battle this foe as it froze us in place, shot ice at us, and trampled us being extremely agile. Through the use of tames being targeted, we were able to deal enough damage to beat it.

    FOREST TITAN

    Forest Titan in ARK
    Continuing our adventure to activate the terminals, we moved forward to the Sunken Forest and activated the terminal awakening the Forest Titan. Tall and appearing very tree-like, the Forest Titan moved very slow but had an incredibly dangerous swipe that dealt a large amount of damage. We were even trapped several times by a root attack, keeping us trapped while the monster attacked. Rushing in with tamed T-Rex, we were able to bring down the Forest Titan with ease only sustaining a few injuries.

    KING TITAN

    ARK King Titan
    After beating the other three Titans, we could not have been prepared for the last as we entered the Forbidden Zone. The largest creature we had ever seen in all of the ARKs at over 515 feet (157 meters) with a spikey tail and scaly skin, we learned that this creature had led an army of Titans and corrupted creatures to cause the apocalypse on the Extinction map. It was our goal to beat this creature and put the suffering to rest. We learned quickly that its attention must be kept at the center of the arena to avoid healing. Learning to go between phases of attacking the Titan and defending element nodes, all while destroying Corrupted Tumors that appeared, enabled us to finally beat this beast and save the world of Extinction.

    NEW ORBITAL SUPPLY DROPS & ELEMENT NODES

    ARK Orbital Supply Drops and 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!
