Farming element in Ark Scorched Earth is tricky as there are few ways. The one reliable way to gather tons of elements is by farming bosses; Broodmother and Manticore are top choices; if you’re at a low level, we recommend going for Manticore with a pack of rex.
With this said, let’s go over more details on how you can farm element on the Ark Scorched Earth map.
Boss Fights
The first way to get elements is by farming bosses, and Manticore is by far the easiest boss you can kill to farm 428 elements. It is important to remember that the quantity of elements depends on the difficulty level; the higher the difficulty, the more elements you will get. Most Element farming on Ark Scorched Earth is done via Boss Fights.
Using Obelisk
The second way to farm an element is to gather it on another server and bring it to the scorched earth. You can do this by using an Obelisk which is a way to transfer items from server to server. They are categorized as tall structures floating in the air with a light coming from them in the sky. Approach these locations, activate the terminal and transfer your items.
