Obsidian is not the rarest resource in ARK Survival Evolved servers, but it is not evenly spread across the maps. Fortunately, there are several key locations where players can gather it efficiently:
Frozen Tooth and Far’s Peak (Island Map) – These mountains are easily accessible and frequently visited by players searching for obsidian.
Lower South Cave (Island Map) – Also referred to as the Cave in the South, this location contains obsidian along with other valuable resources.
South East Cave / Lava Cave (Island Map) – A rich source of obsidian and other rare materials.
Fjordur Map (63.9 LAT, 17.9 LON) – A highly rewarding farming spot due to the sheer quantity of obsidian available.
Crystal Isles (3 LAT) – Although not as well-known, this area offers a solid amount of obsidian.
Ragnarok Map (Mountain Top at the Desert’s Edge) – A more challenging location to reach, but highly rewarding for those in need of large amounts of obsidian.
Tools Required for Mining Obsidian
Once you’ve identified a reliable obsidian source, you’ll need the right tools. A metal pickaxe is essential for mining obsidian—using a stone pickaxe won’t work.
Additionally, bringing a mount such as an Argentavis or Quetzal is recommended to transport the heavy loads of obsidian efficiently.
Uses of Obsidian in ARK
After gathering obsidian, it can be used in crafting advanced materials, primarily polymer—a key component for high-tech equipment and structures.
Players also have the option to substitute obsidian with organic polymer when crafting polymer-based items. However, obsidian remains a valuable resource for various crafting needs, making it worthwhile to collect.

I’m Mr.Brauwn, and I’ve been part of the Minecraft world for over 10 years. Like many others, I started playing with friends in the early versions, but soon I discovered that servers had enormous potential to create unique experiences. Servers and Projects Over time, I specialized in creating custom servers, developing private projects, events, and collaborations with content creators. Configuring plugins, designing systems, and shaping communities quickly became an essential part of my daily life. The Leap into Content Creation After so many years working on servers, I realized I could also share all that knowledge and those experiences visually. That’s how I started streaming on Twitch, showcasing my own servers and playing on them with the community. From Twitch to YouTube Later on, I understood that this content shouldn’t only remain in livestreams. I decided to launch my YouTube channel, where I share curiosities, tutorials, plugin reviews, updates, and technical aspects of Minecraft. It’s a space for other players and creators to discover the same potential I once found in this game. What Minecraft Means to Me For me, Minecraft is more than just a game. It’s a part of my daily life: recording, editing, testing mods, configuring plugins, building, and sharing with my community. After more than a decade, my goal remains the same: to create, inspire, and enjoy this infinite world alongside everyone who joins me on the adventure.
