Obsidian Spawn Command
If you’re having trouble finding Obsidian in Ark: Survival Ascended, you can use spawn commands to have this item spawn 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: “cheat giveitemnum 141 1 0 0” and hit enter to add this resource directly to your inventory.
If you encounter a situation where the command does not work, try resetting your system or game.
