Where to find Obsidian in ARK

TIP

Obsidian is not the rarest resource in ARK Survival Evolved servers, but it is not evenly spread across the maps. Fortunately, there are several key locations where players can gather it efficiently:

• Frozen Tooth and Far’s Peak (Island Map) – These mountains are easily accessible and frequently visited by players searching for obsidian.
• Lower South Cave (Island Map) – Also referred to as the Cave in the South, this location contains obsidian along with other valuable resources.
• South East Cave / Lava Cave (Island Map) – A rich source of obsidian and other rare materials.
• Fjordur Map (63.9 LAT, 17.9 LON) – A highly rewarding farming spot due to the sheer quantity of obsidian available.
• Crystal Isles (3 LAT) – Although not as well-known, this area offers a solid amount of obsidian.
• Ragnarok Map (Mountain Top at the Desert’s Edge) – A more challenging location to reach, but highly rewarding for those in need of large amounts of obsidian.

Tools Required for Mining Obsidian

Once you’ve identified a reliable obsidian source, you’ll need the right tools. A metal pickaxe is essential for mining obsidian—using a stone pickaxe won’t work.

Additionally, bringing a mount such as an Argentavis or Quetzal is recommended to transport the heavy loads of obsidian efficiently.

Uses of Obsidian in ARK

After gathering obsidian, it can be used in crafting advanced materials, primarily polymer—a key component for high-tech equipment and structures.

Players also have the option to substitute obsidian with organic polymer when crafting polymer-based items. However, obsidian remains a valuable resource for various crafting needs, making it worthwhile to collect.
