ARK Survival Ascended is the latest entry in the survival genre and is set in a prehistoric era where crafting and gathering resources go in tandem with taming wild animals. Players can build an army of dinosaurs and raid others in this title, or they can battle the Island Guardians for rare loot and fame. However, progressing through this title's treacherous lands requires careful planning and strategy.
Many resources are readily available to players upon starting a new adventure. These items are used to craft equipment necessary for survival. As gamers progress, they become rare and hard to procure, making it difficult to build weapons and armor. Crystal is one such resource, especially useful in the endgame.
That said, let's look at all the farm locations for this item in ARK Survival Ascended.
All crystal farm locations in ARK Survival Ascended
Players can harvest crystals in high-altitude areas like mountain peaks, caves, and the snow biome. The most notable locations where that can be done are:
- The Red Peak
- Volcano
- Far's Peak
The Red Peak is a tall mountain located in the Redwood Forests. It is notorious for housing aggressive creatures like the Sabertooth. Fur armor and torches are absolutely essential for survivability in this location, as its temperature often drops below five degrees Celsius.
The Volcano is the tallest mountain in ARK Survival Ascended, patrolled by Argentavis. Its temperature varies from freezing cold at night to burning hot during the day. Players can also encounter an occasional Scorpion or Sabertooth in the area.
It is recommended players be equipped with Fur armor, Fria Curry, and a campfire while traveling to the summit of Far's Peak. It is one of the deadliest regions on the Island with Raptors, T-Rex, and even an occasional Giganotosaurus, so proper preparations are a must for survivability.
Crystal is one of the most valuable resources used for many advanced engrams in ARK Survival Ascended. Harvesting it can be a challenge as it requires specific tames or tools.
Here is what you need to harvest crystal:
- Ankylosaurus
- Dunkleosteus
- Mantis
- Metal Pick
- Excavation Rig
- Pheonix
- Therizinosaur
The Ankylosaurus are docile creatures that can be tamed using Tranquilizer Darts or arrows. They excel at harvesting most materials but especially yield the highest gain per action for crystals. So, it is recommended that you utilize them for efficiency.
Carry weight is an important stat in ARK Survival Ascended, as harvesting resources like crystal will take adventurers away from their bases into dangerous territories. Once the desired item has been acquired, carrying it back efficiently can save a lot of headaches.
Here are the tames that reduce the weight of crystal by 50% and make it easier to carry:
- Argentavis
- Dunkleosteus
- Ravager
That concludes this guide to the crystal's farm locations.
