ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If you play on Val boosted or not in the section between the ice wyvern trench and the wyvern cave, follow the lava flows in and on the sides there are many Mantises,dung beetles, scorpions, spiders, and centipedes. Any wyvern will work for this but I find ice wyvern to be the best due to your immunity to the other wyverns there. Megatheriums also work really well but it’s a little more convenient to have a wyv.
More Chitin Tips
When you find out it’s pronounced ky-tin..
-You’ve got to be chitin me
Chitin in early game: *𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱*
Chitin in late game: *𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆*
Insects: *exist*
Megatherium: *ominous breathing*
Player: *laughs in cementing paste*
Go in The Island swamp cave with megatherium and get about 50 000 chitin
Just make a chitin farm...can be tedious and takes some time but tame a bunch of scorpions all female with one male. Build a breeding house for them dump them in breed them like crazy (keep females to lay more eggs and kill the males untill your happy with your egg production) hatch them and let them grow then murder away. Only reason you ever have to pop out for chitin would be if you needed it immediately and you didn't have any scorpions kicking around to murder.
Granted I do have decent breeding settings but nothing crazy and this only really works as a semi automatic farm if you have them able to mature past 10% without them dying .
Therizinosaurs can harvest upto 80 chitin
Just use there third attack type on scorpions
(Scorpions are more abundant near the mountain in Redwoods)
This top works for mobile not known for PC/console

[I play on ARK mobile] If you ever desperately need chitin for something ridiculous, go to one of the "easy" caves and just murder spiders and scorpions (remember to bring a few handfuls of stimulants and a strong weapon), now you have 5,000 and cannot move 👍🏻
(You don’t have to do this you can use a different tame)
But what I do is get my Barry he is level 57 and I just take it to hunter cave and I kill all bugs in sight and I walk out with more chiten then I know what to do with!
I think you new players shoud harvest the bugs
Cough cough megatherium
Cough
The best mid-game way of getting this item is to get a good Dino(carno is fine) and kill the scorpions with the carno(make sure it has a saddle)and harvest it with the carno or a metal hatchet rinse and repeat until you get 500 of it and then you can make a flyer’s saddle.your welcome 🤗
