The Scorched Earth map in Ark Survival Ascended is home to three Artefacts that you’ll need to find if you want to face the dreaded Manticore boss. Hope you’re keen on caves…
The temperature fluctuation in all of these caves is awful, so make sure you’ve got the appropriate gear, like the Flak Armor. Also, bring a formidable mount that can climb surfaces well to make getting around the cave much, much easier, such as the Thylacoleo.
