People have a very strong tendency to exaggerate their bad RNG on this sub, and it's particularly easy to exaggerate for statistics that aren't tracked at all in the game (i.e. not doing any island at all) roughly 75% of the time it shows up, which is believable, especially for an island with a high value additional reward like Lagoon. If you've done lagoon 15 times, it means you've opted to do lagoon over the other two islands available (or vs. it's literally a matter of "There haven't been 25 opportunity islands since the launch of the game". The lava on The Island in caves and the lava in the Wyvern trench on S.E.It's not a matter of likely or unlikely. Helena notes that predators are prone to carry parasites in their meat and based on facts, herbivores overpopulating an area results in the population starving to death due to lack of food for the massive population. Dead Island and the South Haven Island shouldn't be existing due to them having only predators and herbivores respectively.Tames of different species never fight amongst each other (although in lore Mei Yins tames were terrified of the Giganotosaurus).Gestation rates of all the creatures are abnormally quick.Once tamed, most creatures are obedient to the survivors (with the exception of the Giganotosaurus).Creatures of different time periods are coexisting.Obelisks dot the Island in different colors.The Island almost has a 2 to 1 predator to prey ratio, the complete opposite of how an ecosystem works where prey always outnumbers predators.In lore, Helena notes about many things about the Island's abnormal ecology.

#ARK ISLAND 34 70 PS4#
On PS4 since v510: If you would like to play The Center map without advancing through The Island ascension, launch the Island and then open the command menu.On Xbox since v757: If you would like to play The Center map without advancing through The Island, launch the Island and then open the command menu.Finally within both the Mosasaurus and the Plesiosaur dossier it's stated that they make fantastic bases however this could not be farther from the truth as the structures built on them aren't water proof and do not provide oxygen meaning unless you use scuba gear you will drown eventually.In the Cnidaria dossier its stated to not be generally aggressive and don't have a very good perception however they will track and shock creatures and even chase them which is nothing like the dossier.In the Tusoteuthis dossier it is given a incorrect size as its stated to be 30 feet long however in the mosasaurus dossier the mosasaurus is stated to be 50 feet long which in game the tusoteuthis is actually larger than the mosasaurus, there is a explanation for this though as the Tusoteuthis was originally intended to be smaller and was changed last minute to the size it is today.In the Plesiosaur dossier it states that plesiosaurs only hunt things small like humans however in game they will attack just about anything including megalodons and mosasaurus.In the Mosasaurus dossier it is accidentally called tylosaurus which is a related species however its likely a mistake as in the actual text for the mosasaurus its just called mosasaurus and not tylosaurus.Within the Megalodon dossier it states that "Were it not restricted to the waters, the carcharodon ultramegalodon would be one of the most dangerous creatures on the island." which is extremely exaggerated considering it's stats are lower than creatures such as the rex or spino by a considerable amount and even then its not nearly as strong as other oceanic predators such as mosasaurus, tusoteuthis and even plesiosaur which the dossier claims the megalodons hunted them and that the megalodons were even the apex predators before Helena discovered the mosasaurus.Many of the dossiers involving the ocean creatures on the island have various misconceptions.For more in-depth information, see Dossiers. In addition to the Explorer Notes, Dossiers can also be found on The Island, written by Helena Walker to document the research of The Island's creatures. For more in-depth information, see Explorer Notes. These Explorer Notes document the ARK lore.

The following creatures can spawn on The Island:Ĭreatures that only spawned during an Event:Īs The Island is part of the story of the ARKs, Explorer Notes can be found across the map.
