ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
This artifact is easy. I recommend taming a high level baryonyx like 80+ for level 150 max servers. Level up your bary outside of the cave, you want stats like 4,000 health and 500% melee. Go to the cave and get the artifact. I recommend fighting everything because it is easy level ups, also go to both rooms as they both have explorer notes. The first one has the rex note near the water on the cliff, the behind the artifact there is the titanaboa explorer note. The other room has ruins there is the kaprosuchus dossier, and at the edge there is the leech dossier. The leech is in the deepest part of the room. Note bringing a bary with this power is basically cheesing the cave because it is super easy this way, I just recommend to bring a little bit of raw fish meat because centipedes known as arthopleura do a lot of damage. The rewards for this caves are the following: wooden shield, hide blueprints, hide armor, fishing rod, fishing rod blue print, metal pick and hatchet blue prints, or metal pick and metal hatchet, and 10x sooothing balm.
More Artifact of the Hunter Tips
You can find good lvl Megalosaurus lying near grass in this cave sometimes. Just trap it as you see cuz there's a chance you will lose it when you come back with setup.
FOR BEGINNERS: PLEASE DO NOT BRING A PTERANODON OR ANY OTHER FLYER!!! If you choose to do so anyway you can only walk on land with them, if you choose to fly you will be automatically dismounted or forced into a passenger seat if it has a multi passenger saddle, and you wont be able to mount the flyer/be able to sit in the main seat to control the flyer again, forcing you to whistle land so you can mount it again.
If you aren't play old mobile ignore this tip

I forgot to add the cave is quite cold, so I recommend bring primitive hide armor because it is cheap, but durable and helpful with cold temperatures. There are loot crates on the path they give armor or armor and saddle blueprints, if you are low level I recommend grabbing them, there are also loot crates in the water, just be careful as baryonyxs are the best jumpers and swimmers but they can get stuck, apparently there is megaprihnas which do good damage and injure you. The water is also super cold so be careful. Keep surviving survivor.- Boss slayer guy.
Lots of insects btw
Bring an axe for the stuff
No, you can't harvest the glowing green mushrooms inside the cave to get rare mushrooms, not even with a sickle or theri (they dont fit lol), so don't try like I did.
The Hunter Cave Is Located At 85.4 Latitude, 54.2 Longitude. Google Is Wrong Most Of The Time.
Honestly the easiest artifact to acquire. As soon as you unlock a bow, you can easily go on foot. Bring at least 40 arrows. When you get to the cliff bit, look for any spiders or scorpions or titanoboas, and shoot them to lure them to you. When you kill them, check their inventories for extra arrows. The final room can be accessed by crouching, get in, grab the artifact, get out, no time wasted!
