You will have to explore multiple locations in order to farm multiple resources in ARK Survival Ascended and caves are one of the prestigious places offering valuable resources and hidden artifacts. Not only this, you can also battle against dangerous bosses to kill them and pick their drops. 

Some of the caves are required to access the Tek Cave, the final dungeon where you can face the ultimate boss of the game. However, it can be tiring just going out without any directions and trying to find caves and thus, here are all the locations of caves in ARK Survival Ascended.

There are over 20 cave locations on The Island map in ARK Survival Ascended, each with its own challenges and rewards. The caves are divided into three categories:

  • Artifact Caves: Artifact caves contain ancient relics that are needed to summon the bosses of the game.
  • Resource Caves: Resource caves have rare and useful materials that can help you craft better items and structures.
  • Tek Cave: Tek cave is the entrance to the final challenge of the game, where you can fight the Overseer, the mysterious entity that controls the ARK.

You can have a look at the locations of each cave marked on the map below:
