TOP 5 MOD Maps You NEED To Play In ARK: Survival Ascended

hello welcome back for another video as most of you probably know by now we just received the sad news last week that the center map is being completely postponed until when well who knows Ark survival ascended was in desperate need of the center releasing this month we're all in the same boat we're desperate to play some new ark survival ascended content I decided I had to make this video and spread some positivity towards the moders and mod maps they have created I've pretty much checked out every mod map Under the Sun and I've come to the conclusion of my top five best mob maps to play right now my top five has been determined mainly by the percentage completion of the map as a whole but also biome variety unique Landscapes and map features that stand out to me so without further Ado let's get straight into it so in no particular order kicking things off we have the mod map in saluna from the mod Arman gamer 777 which can be played crossplatform is currently around 50% complete and is around 50% larger than the Island map featuring a wide variety of biomes including vast sandy beaches scaling the coast every new player's dream the spawn zone is dubbed Bob's Beach it is literally a beach Bob's Paradise dense jungles and forests the stinky swamp which needs no introduction a variety of mountains with some cool new features A desert-like Wasteland biome filled with danger and opportunity and the staple biomes like the Redwoods forest and the treacherous snow biome home to the deadly dirolf packs and the Roaring U tanus a large ocean biome full of aquatic Beauties and detailed terrain which is something I'm yet to see from the majority of these mod maps most of these mod map oceans have barely been touched and this one even includes silica pearls that glisten bright like a diamond I never forid see the day in ASA so none of those dull silica pearls that you can't even spot on this map with many explorable caves offering unique and rare Resources with two artifact caves ready to sink your teeth into guarded heavily by the usual susp specs the creepy crawlies and the swamp dwelling creatures with both caves offering plentiful loot crates within and if you know me you know I love a good Loot Crate and a bit of tasty loot the map also adds a brand new variety of harvestable rocks which can be harvested for Unique resources and other rare resources already in the game the main one being the glowy yellow rocks that once harvested will offer Flav's Crystal which is required for summoning the boss of the map which is The Brood mother boss the only boss on the map as of yet there are three operational obelisque however the green obelisque is the only obelisque where you can summon the boss but not only can you take her on in the standard difficulties gamma beta and Alpha with this map comes two new difficulties the Apex Brew mother which doesn't seem to be any different to the standard Brew mother she looks slightly prettier than usual as she's colored blue and has slightly more Health than Alpha once beaten rewards survivors with 280 element the final difficulty is the infected brwm and this is pretty much a complete new boss as you can see she looks totally different looking uglier as ever unless you like glowy things you might think she even looks prer and not only that but instead of pooing out spiders she po out giant Rin and nafas that come out at level 500 she also has a whopping free million health and if you can somehow take her down you will be rewarded with a massive 500 element so if you're up for a challenge I urge you to download this map and give it a go and this leads me perfectly on to the next map forg LA and I can't deny it this is by far my favorite map on the list from the mod snowy train I believe it can be played crossplatform this map is a fantasy map with a serious amount of Potential from reading the map description the model has decided to plan it out in three parts the map is currently around 40% complete with already a wide variety of biomes to explore with beautiful beaches and islands that give me a Pirate of the Caribbean Vibe I mean there's massive rock formations that are shaped like skulls and here's a small glimpse of what the jungle biome has to offer honestly I'm finding myself being constantly wowed by this map at every turn the attention to detail that has gone into this map so far is incredible considering the map is still in its early stages of development I'm really loving these mini wooden bridges it's given me some good memories of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom it also has a swamp biome and I never thought I'd hear myself say this but this is the most Bea beautiful swamp I've ever seen in my life if all swamps look this good I might even be tempted to build in one more biomes include a small redwoods biome which doesn't seem to be complete however once again it's probably one of the better looking Redwood biomes that I've seen when compared to other Maps which also has a castle in the making stationed opposite the Redwood on the highest peak overlooking the entirety of the map it's definitely given me Ragnarok vibes from Arc survival evolved and finally my favorite biome of all which I have no idea how to really describe it other than some sort of fantasy set from Star Wars and this place is extremely intriguing dark gloomy and mysterious it does seem to have its own separate weather system as once you're in range of the island it is forever raining thundering and lightning and it seems only the most dangerous of creatures and dinosaurs spawn on this island perfectly showcased by the gigger destroying everything in this path and just to quickly summarize there seems to be two operational obelisks which currently have no bosses to summon this map is already massive and hopefully in the nearby future we'll see the snow biome lava biome fantasy biome the ocean desert biome and an underground City biome as stated in the map description it is also stated that the map will contain custom bosses and a new unique creature but as of yet it is still very playable in its current state and honestly upon completion I cannot wait to see what this map looks like there is so much to look forward to next map on the list is the fantasy world of Ark poce and I'm really sorry but I'm about to butcher this name from the modder eru El liist and TR the map can be played crossplatform and offers a wide variety of biomes and map features to explore including dirty yet Majestic looking beaches and Islands filled with wide varieties of tasty resources and on the subject of islands it does seem to have its own version of caral island in the center of the map dense jungles throughout with beautiful Rivers flowing through the Redwoods biome of course looking exactly like the Redwoods biome two smallish snow biomes located at opposite sides of the map there is also a huge desert biome it really does give me a nice Vibe it does seem a bit empty definitely needs a bit of work but it's got some cool looking rock formations and I genuinely love the look of the desert they've developed if you ever want some metal just come to the desert biome and head on up to the mountain you'll find yourself a few nodes just a few I wish there was this much mellow on every other map there's also an ocean biome that does seem far from its completed State but has definitely received some attention adding plenty of harvestable resources and aquatic creatures a biome that reminds me of the extinction map from ASE must say this part of the map is uh kind of chaotic it seems like the map creator has just added every DLC creature from all previous AR survival evolve DLCs and just stuck them all in one place there's a lot of DLC creatures in this area Mana gas snow owls Griffins basilisks raw rats May Wings any DLC creature you can think of is in this area I'm unsure if these DLC creatures can actually be tamed I did knock out a mwing just to test it and it did seem to be taming up effectively there are no unlockable saddles in the engrams so hopefully that will be implemented in the future I did find this really cool looking cave but as of yet it seems there's no fully explorable cave systems or artifact caves currently there are no bosses to summon on the map even though there are free operational obelisks and finally there is also a Wyn trench and from what I've seen every single Wyn from Ark survival evolved does spawn on this map even the crystal Wyn from Crystal Isles I haven't seen any nests so maybe that's a thing that we'll see in the future this lava also flows into a massive crater that is split between lava and water with the green Obelisk terminal floating in the middle and this area looks so cool but if we take a quick look at the beautiful little Lake above the green obelisque you will find that the entire population of otter from both Ark survival evolved and descended have United at this lake so who knows maybe this is the real boss of the map who would ever want to fight an army of otter I've never seen so many otters in my life this has to be an overspawn issue either way there's a lot to the map and it is always getting updates and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this map up next we have the fantasy map of a missa which is a map originally from Ark survival evolved from the mod sio 0803 apologies if I butcher the name a missa is a beautiful fantasy map with a backstory and evidence of a past civilization which was fighting back the tech the map is much bigger than the Island map and is 30% completed with a wide variety of biomes to explore including massive snow biomes which can be seen as far as the eye can see the map also includes a desert which is clearly far from finished as it does appear to be very empty but clearly not with creature spawns it seems as there are loads of spawns in the desert there is also a huge Redwood biome that does seem to be pretty well developed a swamp biome that appears to be just like any other swamp in the game dense grasslands and jungles with the usual Rivers flowing throughout and finally there's also a red jungle area which I really like the look of it definitely brings more of a fantasy feel to the map oh hello gigant Raptor I see you there love to see it I'm not too certain on what resource nodes are available to the map right now as it appears the ocean has barely been touched but there's plenty of mountains and cliffs full of Crystal obsidian and metal more unique map features include an Egyptian theme castle in the heart of the desert an abandoned city with gigantic pyramids that can be seen in the distance which personally I would love to see this as an artifact cave entrance imagine an artifact cave inside a pyramid that would be so cool many abandoned structures and evidence of past civilization all with their own unique character with the amissa city seemingly to be fully intact which can act as a safe haven for survivors to take refuge from my experience in ASA is the only map to have its own Wyn variants which have slightly different movement mechanics animations and attacks as opposed to the standard WN from ASE with the ability to dive just like a griffin for an extra speed boost which is pretty awesome I must say and there is a w trench by the way where you can also find fertilized eggs in nests which I believe is also a first for any of these mod maps I've checked out along with the map comes its own exotic version of the argentavis there are currently operational obelisks but once again as of yet bosses have not yet been added to the map and it appears there's also no artifacts or caves after reading the map description upcoming features include more Mainland completion more resources and detail work more buildings ruins for each area caves and dungeons underwater work rivers lakes and ocean custom boss arenas for brew gorilla and dragon and much more this map has a serious amount of potential and even at 30% complete there is much to explore I thoroughly believe the future of a missa is looking rather bright moving on to the final map I can't have a top five video without including the map's F all f it is a mythical Dwarven inspired map from the modder who needs no introduction now cartus there are three different playable versions the PC test version that is free to play the crossplay test version that is also free to play and the spart ofine premium which can be bought for $10 from the store this is currently only for PC and now has a small selection of official servers run in this version any of these playable versions are still far more polished than any of these mod maps on the list I am however showcasing the premium version in this video as this version has the most to explore at a who in 70% map M completion and is a no fly map Flyers do not even spawn at all the map adds new resources new Alpha Dino variants with more and better loot I don't think I've ever seen an alpha Raptor look so pretty and they really do drop some decent loot it appears all biomes are fully completed this includes a large snow biome the Redwoods with many unique added features maybe I'll take my statement back from earlier this biome is really a thing of beauty plenty of open grasslands dense forests with mountains scattered throughout the entirety of the map rich and full of rare resources and flooded with all creatures and Dinos you want to tame there is a mini lava biome if you can call it a biome but it is always a welcomed feature within any map an ocean biome full of Aquatic Life and of course rare resources waiting to be snatched up including a swamp area that I must say is a sight for sore eyes you know I'm impressed when I complement the swamp the map is filled with Dwarven themed architecture throughout the entirety of the map and it really is clearly evident the amount of hard work the cars has put in in developing this Dwarven themed world this is another map that will wue at every turn when out exploring more map features include wild aggressive Dwarven Warriors that will defend their homes at all costs they can be killed for Loot and rare resources mysterious and dangerous artifact caves delving into the immersive Dwarven underworld adding new forms of challenges booby traps plentiful loot crates within and of course the usual suspects the creepy crawlies and slivery suckers G and artifacts the Dwarven Forge is a structure that can be found in many places around the map energy crystals are needed to power it you'll be able to smell your meal ingots and craft it into Alloys here this will be required when summoning the bosses more Dwarven magical Wizardry include these teleporters that can be found scattered around the map and can teleport you to and from other teleporters I must admit I thought my game crashed when I discovered this which I was pleasantly surprised to find I didn't crash but in fact teleported to some new heights and if you're wanting to add even more spice to your Dwarven Adventure I recommend downloading the sparle F Armory pack this will add the Dwarven armor set and a mammoth and ferio armor skin the Dwarven armor set created by the mod Haiti which is a catable skin that can be equipped to any piece of armor leveling yourself up to a real Dwarven Warrior and the mammoth and folio armor set created by the mod snvs is a skin that can be equipped to their saddle where you can Don your Mammoth or F AIO in some nice and shiny dwar an armor you can now March into battle in style I do highly recommend investing and going for the premium version of spal f with it comes more map to explore more features and of course it's the version that's going to get more updates in the future and on that subject there's plenty more to come from spal F including new bosses new caves more adventures and more DLC content and that will sum up the video those are my top five favorite mob maps to explore and I highly recommend checking each and everyone out if you haven't already I did also check out a lot of other mod maps and I will leave a description of each and every one in the description of the video and in a pin comment detailing my analysis of what makes the map so great and why you should keep your eyes peeled in the future they are also great Maps however are nowhere near as finished as these maps on the list but there are quite a few Maps out there with a lot of potential in the future and I really am genuinely excited about them all including all the visal maps that should be coming out soon assuming they don't get delayed again I will admit that temp trest lag map is my favorite map by far that didn't quite make the list which appears to have one fully complete huge biome which is full of beautiful features and is majestic when playing the game as it is when viewing video clips of it but other than this magnificent biome it does also include a lot of open space and incomplete biomes which is the only reason why it is not on the list but it is definitely one worth checking out and worth playing and definitely has the most potential out of any of these maps that didn't quite make the list and on that note I hope you all en enjoyed the video and if you did enjoy it please consider liking commenting and subscribing these videos do take quite a while to make so i' really appreciate it and I'll catch you all on the next one take care [Music] goodbye
