Fun fact; obsidian is a black glass and it’s very hard to break

For some reason you can find obsidian in the swamp

on crystal isles.

Go to the top of the volcano. There there with the crystal

DONT USE DOEDIC’S SO MINE OBSIDIAN. USE ANKY’S (doedic’s can only mine stone :p)

For early levels on the island just go to the lower south cave and in the water there will be a decent amount of obsidian. Just bring a tame that can kill piranhas.

So if I'm on crystal isles where can I get obsidian?

When collecting obsidian use just a metal pick axe and archy. they cut the weight when you carry it in their pocket.

DO NOT USE THE DOEDIC ID say take your ank

A good way to move obsidian is by crafting pedestals and then breaking them it makes 80 kilos of obsidian in 4 kilos.

Anyone know where to find Obsidian in Admiration Map?

On ragnarok, on the beach just past the burnt area, go into the water and dive down into what looks like a wyvern trench, use a dunkleo, there's tons of it on the bottom of the ravine. I normally get about 30k on normal rates.

Where is obsidian on the island

Use a imprinted top stat mantis with max picks and you can get 100+per node put weight up a wee bit but the rest melee make sure you bring a high weight argy

To obtain this item go to the island and then go to the volcano. (It will be hard to climb) - AJ

Where do u find it on Valguero

Me is confused 🤷‍♂️

On mobile use a doedic it will give u lot of obsidian but there is a bug that obsidians on volcano and snow that a doedic only gives u stone only so on those places use the anky

Idk if anyone said this already but the doed seems to harvest obsidian now and I feel like it gets more than the anky

If you are playing Casual on ARK Mobile:

When you are gathering obsidian, it is quite heavy, and the Argy's weight reduction isn't enough, don't worry, as you can make a Artifact Pedestal to compact 80kg of obsidian into a 4kg structure in your argy saddle

You need to be on lvl 27 because PT saddle and go to the Red woods of the volcano for obsidian and metal.

Best way to farm this on mobile is with a doedic on the mountain nest to the volcano, there is ton of obsidian there and also the doedic cant harvest other obsidian nodes for some reason (MOBILE ONLY)
