In Ark Crystal Isles, Organic Polymer is one of the many natural resources for crafting new equipment. It is the direct substitute for normal polymers. The most notable use of Organic Polymer is in crafting the Ghillie Armor, which helps survive in the scorching heat.
As opposed to regular Polymer, Organic Polymer spoils after 30 minutes. This time may be increased to 1 hour 30 minutes by leaving the Organic Polymer in the Achatina. The following guide will discuss the best locations and farming tips to obtain Organic Polymer in Ark Crystal Isles.
How to Farm Organic Polymer in Ark Crystal Isles?
Organic Polymer can be harvested from several creatures in Ark Crystal Isles, including the Mantis, Karkinos, and Hesperornis. The most suitable way to obtain Organic Polymer is to locate, kill, and harvest Karkinos since they drop significantly upon death.
While harvesting, using a Club or Sword will increase the yield of Organic Polymer that is obtained. Tamed Carnivore creatures may also be used for harvesting. Another way to acquire Organic Polymer is to harvest Beehives with a Doedicurus.
The following are the best locations for Organic Polymer Farming.
Ark Crystal Isles Organic Polymer Location #1 (Karkinos Spawn)
- LAT: 40
- LON: 77
The best way to obtain Organic Polymer is to harvest it from dead Karkinos. These coordinates lead you to the Island of Eldritch Isle, where plenty of Karkinos spawns may be found. Hop on a strong tame to handle fighting and venture out. Wait for a while for the Karkinos to spawn.
Once you find and kill them, you must harvest them using Club or Sword for the maximum yield.
Ark Crystal Isles Organic Polymer Location #2 (Karkinos Spawn)
- LAT: 44
- LON: 77
The main river in the floating isles biome can find the second Karkino spawn location. Plenty of Karkinos spawn here, and you can venture outward toward the water and the beach to find even more.
Organic Polymer Location #3 (Karkinos Spawn)
- LAT: 53
- LON: 77
This is a relatively smaller spawn point for the Karkinos. However, at least 1-5 Karkinos spawn simultaneously near the body of water here. Once you find and kill them, you must then harvest them using Club or Sword for the maximum yield of Organic Polymer.
Organic Polymer Location #4 (Bee Cave)
- LAT: 32
- LON: 31
This location will use the second method of Organic Polymer farming which is its extraction from Beehives. These coordinates lead you to the entrance of the bee cave. Enter the cave to find several beehives that Dinos or tools can harvest to collect the Organic Polymer and a bit of honey as a bonus.
The beehives respawn pretty quickly so you can easily clear out the cave and return later for it to have replenished. The best Dino for harvesting beehives is the Doedicurus.
Organic Polymer Location #5 (Mantis Spawn)
- LAT: 83
- LON: 43
Mantis spawn in either deserts or caves. These coordinates are for a vast desert spawn location. Hop on a strong flying creature and venture south to the bottom of the map. Once you reach there, scan the area on top of your flying creature to look for Mantis spawns.
Once you find one, engage while using your tame to attack and harvest without getting off. Repeat this process until you have enough Organic Polymer. For maximum yield, you may want to use Clubs or Swords for harvesting.

Organic Polymer Spawn Command
If you’re having trouble finding Organic Polymer in Ark Crystal Isles, you can use its spawn commands to have it spawn directly in your inventory. To do this, you must open the cheat console by pressing the TAB key on your keyboard.
If you’re playing on PlayStation, you’ll need to hold down L1, R1, Square, and Triangle at once, and similarly, on Xbox, hold down, LB, RB, X, and Y at once. Once the console opens, simply type in the command “cheat gfi Polymer_Organic 1 0 0” and hit enter.
If you encounter a situation where these commands do not work, try resetting your system or game. Alternatively, you can use this spawn command: “cheat giveitem “Blueprint’/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Polymer_Organic.PrimalItemResource_Polymer_Organic'” 1 0 0”.
