Another thing I forgot to add is that loot crates look extremely similar to the artifact so be careful not to get confused. I also forgot to add that the artifact in the usual route people take is on your right then jump two patches of land before landing on your third patch of land. I know there is another route but it is very difficult and hard to remember, it is more difficult because it is longer and more dangerous. There are loot crates on the path and in some places in the middle of lava, just make sure not to get confused. I wanted to add that the most deceiving loot crate is the on near the ruins on the lystrosaurus dossier, it has two jumps till you get to it which is why I thought it as the artifact but it wasn’t. The loot crates are much better in this cave then in most others, I have only looted one crate and got a 180 simple pistol already crafted, which is pretty good. The loot crate quality is yellow so it is better than blue, white, and green. It is also better than yellow above ground loot crates, this applies to all caves, they tend to have better loot then their above ground counterpart. Also, if you are running down a hill and you see cluster, just jump and run, trust you don’t want to fight swarms of creatures. Keep surviving survivor.- Boss slayer guy.

Ark mobile cave guide for single player.

First put a thatch foundation in front of the cave and a bed. Go with no weapons, no armor, no nothing, just your map in your inventory. Run through the cave and jump and avoid clusters of creatures, if you are knocked out or nearly dead double tap on the home button and throw the ark app. This will delete all the creatures that were attacking you, and some creatures in a certain radius, it will also reset your water so that you don’t pass out. Keep doing what I said, and also visit ruins and collect explorer notes. Do this for until you reach the artifact and then make your way out of the cave, this an easy strategy, just have health up to 671, as well as good stamina. I did this and if you die the lava consumes you body, this throws your cache to the surface on land, so don’t worry if you die and the artifact was in your inventory. I tried methods like bringing a sabertooth tiger and it died, so this a far better method. I recommend running this cave multiple times as the loot is very good. There is the manta, megaloceros, and lystrosaurs, and I believe the mamoth dossier in this caves. The rewards for this cave are blueprint or made items: 10x soothing balm, there is no blueprint for that, fur sometimes blue print but sometimes made, simple pistol best quality is ascendant, shotguns blueprints or made best is ascendant, crossbows I think these are for sure made, and ascendant ant longneck rifles these can be both blueprints or made. I recommend dumping your loot and your flyer that way you don’t loose it. On my first tribute I got 3 items, fur cap blueprint, shotgun ascendant made, it does 265 damage, it was the best shotgun I got from there, and ascendant longneck rifle, 1350 damage. I only reran the artifact for it and for a crossbow. Hope you liked this and it was helpful-Boss slayer guy.
