Sokka says “Drink cactus juice” “it’ll quench ya!” “It’s the quenchiest!”

Is it just me or does the white part look like it’s smiling

With a simple flap of the wings, wyverns will get you a lot of sap and minimal effort.

Ah… a beloved staple of Ark’s cuisine. It’ll quench ya! It’ll quench the heck out of ya! Saved many a survivor from death by drying out.

I used a whip to try and get this and I couldn't. Use a hatchet instead

Cactus sap actually restores 1 food instantly on consumption.

However if you hit the larger cacti they can give you water

On Fjordur, found on the Volcano island near the tar pits. There are scorched black cacti that give you sap.

Wyverns are amazing at gathering this with their wing flap attack (C when landed.)

If you're playing modded, Crystal Wyverns can do it too.

Im playing on the switch and the description says it quenches thirst but thats a lie. I am eatting it raw, am i doing something wrong?

Just tame a Morrellatops real quick and they get tons with melee.

Use a wyvern/crystal wyvern to get the cactus sap with their wing flap thing

16 points   Jan 2, 2021   Report

The sap won’t actually hydrate you it is the chopping of the cactus

For mobile players, this doesnt exist because your not on se.

Go to the desert he says you'll be okay. One hour later. dying from bugs and snakes. All for what to get poked with needles from the cactus. In Ark you don't actually get poked by the cactus

The whip only works on small cacti. That being said, whips pick up everything you can pick by hand, so your inventory will fill up with berries, stone, and sand while you try to gather sap.

Use camel Dino for gathering this
