Scorched Earth Ascended Expansion

New Desert Realm:

  • Survive the Harsh Desert: In the Scorched Earth Ascended expansion, players are thrust into the unforgiving desert environment of Scorched Earth Ascended. Veteran ARK survivors must quickly adapt to find water, secure food, craft essential items, and build shelters to endure the challenging conditions.
  • Explore Unique Biomes: Discover six distinct biomes, ranging from expansive dunes to hidden oases, each offering its own ecosystems and visual aesthetics. Rich in ruins, geysers, and ancient caves, Scorched Earth Ascended presents a fresh challenge for exploration.

New Creatures and Challenges:

  • Tame Unique Creatures: Encounter and tame a variety of creatures native to Scorched Earth Ascended, including the formidable Fasolasuchus and elemental Wyvern. Beware of perilous foes like the fearsome Death Worm lurking in the sands.
  • Craft Innovative Gear: Utilize scavenged resources to craft specialized gear and structures designed to withstand the desert’s extreme heat. From whips and boomerangs to flamethrowers and chainsaws, players must arm themselves for defense and survival.

Exciting Features and Content:

  • Face Natural Disasters: Brave electrical storms, sandstorms, and heat strokes as you navigate the harsh landscape. Challenge the powerful Manticore boss by harnessing the Obelisks’ power.
  • Unique Gameplay Mechanics: Experience a wild frontier where characters can only be brought over for the first 60 days, without the ability to transfer dinos or items onto the map. After this period, players gain full access to the expansion’s content.

Additional Content:

  • Bob’s Tall Tales: Dive into legendary ARK veteran Bob’s adventures across The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, and Extinction. Each Tall Tale introduces unique creatures and vehicles, such as the Oasisaur and steam trains on Scorched Earth Ascended.
