The biggest goal in Ark: Survival Ascended is to take down the bosses but, in order to do so, you’ll need to gather the Artifacts hidden in caves across The Island.
There are three bosses to tackle, with at least three Artifacts needed for each, and getting the loot is not an easy task with a plethora of enemies and environmental threats to tackle.
As well as the caves with Artifacts hidden away, there are others that offer an abundance of loot—which can be found deep in the depths of the oceans.
If you’re on the hunt for Artifacts or loot, you can find all the details you need below.
