You can hit the cactus to refill your water on this map.

My buddy just asked how the heck do you even survive day one on this map?!! I directed him to this video. Perfect timing again! Thank you for always help us learn and how to enjoy this game!

I've been playing ARK for years, since Scorched Earth first came out and I joined my gaming buddies in it. But I still pick up info that 's new to me every time I watch one of your Tips and Tricks videos! On this one, I didn't know Crafting skill only affected blueprints and custom recipes, not crafting from engrams.

I feel like there are more ants on this map than on ASE, and it drove me nuts early game

Good Morning Phlinger and Phamily. Just wanted to let you know these types of videos help everyone so much, thank you for your time in making these.

Thanks Phlinger! I’m sure that these videos help a lot of people!

Don't a PS5 yet but I'm all ready like the loot marker on the map

When I load into zone 1 "easy" for the first time in ASA there was a rock golem, raptor and direwolf pretty much on top on me. Pretty much died instantly, welcome to Scorched Earth 😂!

Something I've noticed about Ark as a whole that I think is helpful: it's not a matter of IF you will die in Ark, but a matter of WHEN you will die in Ark. As someone that hates dying in video games, this is a very important lesson when playing Ark.

hay Phlinger very helpful thanks.

As this video is aimed at very fresh ARK players, it might be helpful to mention that almost every action gains XP, but especially harvesting, crafting, killing and taming and XP gain can be boosted by "chests" you can sometimes find in ruins. When you start exploring more of the map, be advised that kapros (the smallish crocodiles mentioned) are much more frequent in cyan colored water, where you can also find silica pearls. They have the annoying tendency not only to unmount you, but will drag you into flocks of terror birds. My trusty argentavis was not fast enough to save me against 7 terror birds, even though I was sporting a sword and had decently high-armor desert cloth gear!

His let's plays are great. They're entertaining and they help out a lot with a game like this.

I completely forgot about how brutal it is to just survive when starting out on this map. I died like 6 times in a row to just the heat. Forget the raptors and terror birds. I love/hate the difficulty on this map.

Amazing video! Great help for new players😊

Nice guide

Yeah, I've NEVER found an "easy" spot to spawn in Scorched...and if it's not a raptor or wolf eating your face, it'll be the heat.

just had my first go at scorched earth... i literally die from heat death after 2 minutes. sometimes i even spawn in dehydrated state. building a thatch shelter does not protect me. i dont see how i can survive long enough to build weapons to get hide to get better protection against the heat

There is a mesh in the scar that makes it easy to get wyvern eggs....from south to north look for first land bridge over scar, on the left side wall of scar toward desert under bridge fly under huge wall crystal there and you will pop up almost Teleport above that land bridge....hope this helps 55 17

Will you be doing a base location guide soon? Thanks so much for the info!

2:37 I have nothing but sabertooths there lol. My whole north literally ate 32 lives lmao

Level 1 player, you're going to die. The first 30 to 45 minutes should focus on the crafting of foundations. Foundations give you a lot XP. You get more XP from stone foundations, and don't worry about saving any of the foundations. Craft and throw away. You'll get to level 30 quickly. This is one of the best ways for me to get a good start.

I did not know that either haha!

Hey bro i am a very experienced ark player and I already played asa scorched earth and I really liked it now I saw that you have the same spots on scorched that you like as me, the only thing is before asa I never played scorched but I did play now and I really like the map. But to my question I want to start making ark videos my own but I need a good start do you maybe wanna play together a little bit on scorched? I would really like it but I would also understand if you don’t have time.

Dude, how are we supposed to get to the smithy stage? All the metal is atop extremely hazardous mountains surrounded by hordes of pigs, terror birds, wolves etc. The best thing I can ride without a smithy is a wolf. I can't get anywhere on this map because of the shitty metal placement.

On official PvP you will struggle more because of other players will kill you and your tames. Start over and you will struggle to find another high level again

Is anyone having having major PS5 crashes? I cant doing anything without Ark crashing on me. Can’t even look at my engrams without crash. Oh and bonus I keep losing my save characters every time I try to ascend off the island.

I don't think it's possible to do a hard-core 100 days.

need coffee?

NOT EVEN GONNA ADD KETCHUP!🧐🤧🦠💊
