Ark The Best Base Locations For PVE Island Map 2020

[Music] hello and welcome to complete games with me James and today we're going to be talking about the best locations to build on the island map this one applies to the PvE players so if you've got yourself a nice cup of tea you sat back and relaxed and you've been a truly great sport and you've already hit that thumbs up button we'll talk about the prime real estate and best places to build on the island map Queen Elizabeth herself is going to be jealous of this one so let's just jump straight into it [Music] so the first area we're going to take a look at is actually the center of the three mountains now this is the least picturesque suggestion I've got for you but it is a good suggestion if you're we're talking strategy and be in the game let me tell you why if we just bring up the resource map if you set up smack-bang between all three of these mountains you've got an abundance of metal obsidian and crystal just a stone's throw away and if you can wall off a good sized section of this you've got access to a lot of carnivore dinosaurs there will be t-rex is here and there's going to be a lot of hide and if you want to be this game you're gonna need to gather a lot of hide and a lot of metal so I would suggest that building here might perhaps be the fastest way in order to beat this game if you can hold this position you're definitely going to come across some good dinosaurs and you're going to be able to get plenty of metal and resources [Music] and the next suggestion I've got is the redwood lake this is a great place to build and the redwoods is a beautiful biome you will have some high level dinosaurs here on your doorstep as well and it's just on the west hand side of the Redwood biome if you did set up here if we just bring up the resource map you have access to of course the redwood mountain which has quite a lot of metal nodes a stone's throw you're also going to have access to the swamp cave just around the corner which means you can farm what I would probably call the best loot or the best cave drop in the game I've found many of my best blueprints in the swamp cave so that one's up for debate but it's a good one [Music] moving on to herbivore island and this is where I've chose to set up for my playthrough of the game and this island is great in fact I would say is jack of all but master of none having played here one of the advantages to be non herbivore Island is you've got your own water pen here but I've only needed to tame up the basilosaurus you've also got this natural horseshoe that makes for a very good Dino pad I think some of my diagnosis in a crowd probably by something falling in here occasionally but there are no carnivores on this island and there is some metal on this island and being that I spend a lot of time here doing breeding it has generated quite a bit of metal as like as it does respawn I will gather it and it does a fair amount of metal not enough that I haven't had to use the volcanoes on multiple occasions to gather but still enough just to keep ticking over I'll just bring up the resource map for the island so you can see where the other metal nodes are in relation to us so there is good reason to set up on herbivore Island I've enjoyed it and the reason I've set up here is because every time I've tried to play on a multiplayer server this one's always taken first herbivore Island definitely master of none but Jack of all it has a little bit of everything and it is a lovely place to build I'll certainly recommend this one as well [Music] okay moving on to the stony isle now this is a place I was a member of the tribe in for quite a long time and there was quite an extravagant build done here it really was a good place to build but unfortunately one of the drawbacks of building here is we want to use this as a water pen but unfortunately it's just a little too shallow to bring any of your water Dinos in you can get a couple in but when we're talking the larger dinos it doesn't work again for this pool it would just be great if that open there was into the sea but it doesn't allow you to bring in any of your water dinos so just a couple of points knock down for that one but still a great area to wall off and I really did enjoy building here I'll just bring up the map and the coordinates as you can see we're right on the south side here and we just bring up the resource map and you'll see that we're located at the south here just some northwest of us we do have a large resource of metal here and the north east just hidden behind some trees there's also some metal so not too far away from the metal that you'll need this place does lose points because it would be the greatest water blowing open on the island map if only it was just a little bit deeper just below us here [Music] moving on to the mini mountains now again strategically speaking to be this game this is a great location to be just on the top of this little mini mountain here we've got rich deposits of metal and you don't really want to build on that cliff but just having access to it just being able to bring it back and it been on your doorstep this is a really efficient place to build and that's the location on the GPS and on the map you just look behind us I've built on these two levels before and got that beautiful waterfall there so it's a very picturesque location to build now we just take a look at the resource map you'll see that the little node really doesn't do it justice but you do have a mountain either side of you and there is an abundance of metal to be gathered here you also will find that you get t-rex is wandering in and spy knows see you will find a few high-level dinosaurs and you're going to be above them on the rocks so it's a very easy place to tame some of the high level dinosaurs that tend to wander into this little area here so yeah a great little place to be bias the hidden lake couldn't do a best locations without featuring this one now the hidden lake was actually used to promote the original game and this is its location here just bring up on the map with the GPS signal so if we just bring up the resource map you'll see with this little pool of water here is where the hidden lake is and you've got three mountains surrounding you just a stone's throw away for the metal you're also just across from carnivore island which is quite a useful place to be and this area if you can find it and take it all you need to do is just put three behemoth gates up to pretty much walk this whole area off and you've got a lot of building space it's a very nice area to be you I have the occasional Dino drop in off the cliff here down into your base but I never really found it when I built here I might mention that there is a Supply Drop just behind that cliff and some of my members on the discord as said that there is a little glitch point where you can't build but yeah a really great place to build [Music] [Music] and moving on now to brawler's BAE as the locals call it this area is strategically another great spot to set up and a very picturesque one as well I've previously built over the top of the waterfall here and I can tell you that you just far enough away from the snow biome that you're not constantly eating and having to worry about wearing fur but it's still just there if you need the organic polymer you'll also find a lot of dinosaurs fighting just here particularly over near that Black Rock in the distance and you'll see that it's just a river that runs out of course being set up around about this River area here if we just bring up the resource map and you'll see the waterfall just flows out here we've got advantage of being on the doorstep of the snow biome plenty of polymer and rich metal resources and we've also got the volcano right next to us so definitely setting up somewhere along Ollis beach especially near this waterfall I think it's a very good location we have of course got access to the sea as well so you could build a water dyno pen somewhere around here but more importantly you don't take any damage from the cold and although you can wear a lot of fare you will be consuming a lot of meat if you end up setting up in the snow biome so that's why I suggest Porter's beach [Music] okay so that's my guide to the best of locations that you can set up on the island map now I am of course speaking to the PvE player as opposed to the PvP some of these places are going to be red flags and you'll get raided if you're thinking about setting up in these high resource locations but if you're thinking about taking on the game with a small group of players and defeat in the game then that's my suggestion for best locations don't forget to subscribe if you'd like to see more art content in the future from myself I do do other guides and we are doing a complete series on this island map and I am going to be facing the final boss very soon so go and check that series out of your new gear also comments down below if you think there's any areas that I missed in the game that should be considered as really good places to be strategically I'm not really talking about the underwater caves more strategic spots to be in order to complete the game but until next time I'm James from complete games and I'll see [Music] [Applause] [Music]
