Best ways to get Elements in ARK Fjordur (2024)

ARK Fjordur is one of the best ARK: Survival Evolved mod maps. It gained so much popularity as an unofficial mod map that Studio Wildcard had to release it officially.

This new DLC has it all:

• New landscapes and locations
• Four new tamable creatures
• Seven tough mini-bosses
• One new legendary final boss

To 'survive the ARK,' players must collect resources, farm and tame creatures, hunt, mine and fight dangerous dinos, explore and scavenge creepy caves, castles, and dungeons, keep an eye on basic needs (food, water), and cope with extreme weather.

ARK Fjordur has several difficulty modes, ranging from easy to hardcore.

Best locations to get elemental shards in ARK Fjordur

Elements are the primary materials used to craft Tek tier items in ARK Fjordur. They are the rarest materials in ARK Fjordur or any other ARK: Survival Evolved map.

There are three ways to get Elements: defeating bosses, mining Element Shards/Dusts, and crafting Elements following the recipe.

Crafting is the hardest way to get Elements and resources; this method has been in the game since the Aberration DLC. To craft Elements, players will need:

Here are the two most straightforward ways to get Elements in ARK Fjordur:

Defeating bosses

Players can defeat mini-bosses, three island bosses (Megapithecus, Dragon, Broodmother), and the final boss Fenrisulfr to get Elements. Each mini-boss will give thirty Elements, and there is a one-hour cooldown between each mini-boss fight. Defeating each mini-boss will reward them with lots of Elements.

For example, after defeating the Alpha Megapithecus, users will get 220 Elements. For defeating the final boss Fenrisulfr, they will get 100 Elements for gamma, 150 Elements for beta, and 500 Elements for alpha variant.

Farming Element Dusts

Hunting Tek creatures is one way to get Element Dusts. It won't give gamers a lot of Element Dusts but is the easiest way to gather Elements in ARK Fjordur.

They will find various Tek Rexes and Tek Stegos on the ARK Fjordur map. But the second way to get Element Dusts is by taming Element Gachas.

Gachas are usually rare to find, but in Fjordur, finding them is a lot easier. To make the Gacha produce Element Dust, players have to select Element Dust from the production menu; otherwise, the Gacha will produce everything.

Then, users have to put two Snow Owls in front of each of them and feed them with resources. Berry seeds are one of the easiest-to-make foods for Gachas.

Using Iguanodon, they can easily produce lots of berry seeds in a short time. Gamers should also keep upgrading the crafting skill of the Gachas, as it will increase the amount of Element Dust they will get.

Once they reach level 180, players won't need to upgrade them any further.

Mining Element Shards

The Amethyst Cave located at 57.0, 85.0 is one of the best locations to find Element Shards in ARK Fjordur. Survivors can safely get thousands of shards from this location. Every rock they mine inside the cave will give them Element Shards. These rocks may not look much different from the normal rocks in ARK: Fjordur, but they carry sizable amounts of shards.

Another great location to get Element Shards in Fjordur is the Fire Wyvern Trench in Balheimr, located at 95.7, 78.9. It's worth nothing, however, that this cave is perilous; gamers will have to face Lava Golems, Magmasaurus, and Fire Wyverns. In the cave's main chamber, they will find a decent amount of Element Shards.
