ARK is all about discovering the next thing and putting it to good use. Let's take a look at Obsidian. Where can you find it, how do you harvest it and what can you make with it?
Where To Find Obsidian
Obsidian is a resource you can find in ARK Survival Evolved. It can be located in caves and on mountains with the appearance of a smooth black rock. Whitesky Peak and Volcano are full of Obsidian rocks. You can also find it on peaks around The Island. If you're playing on the Scorched Earth map you'll find it in the artifact caves.
