![]() Just like the artifacts, getting to the Rockwell arena will take you into the deepest parts of Aberration. This guide will tell you where the Depths, Shadow and Stalker artifacts are located. Even if I don't love the caves, I love getting around in them.The Rockwell is Aberration’s big boss, and you’ll need to collect three rare artifacts to fight it. But rock-climbing, ziplining, and gliding sure are a lot of fun. I'm still not entirely sure I'll enjoy being underground all the time in Aberration-I still feel like I'll miss the sunlight, snow-capped mountains, and sparkling seas of the island map. I was going to post a gif of the creature exiting my body in a spray of blood and wriggling away, but I think I'll let you discover it for yourself when Aberration is released. The incubation period is sort of amusing: as the creature grows inside you and you get closer to giving 'birth', your torso actually begins bulging comically (or horribly, depending on how you look at it). There's a giant queen creature in the game that can implant players with her brood-I got a quick glimpse of her during my tour, and she's pretty terrifying. While in Aberration, I also had the honor of having an alien burst out of my chest cavity. Most of my time in Ark has been spent on a quiet private server with friends, so I don't have any raiding experience, but it's easy to imagine a tribe silently slithering up fort walls, clinging invisibly to cavern cliffs, and gliding in on a fleet of Drakes to stomp another tribe. Just to sweeten the pot some more, the Drake is a chameleon, and can cloak itself (and passenger) in shimmery, semi-invisibility. You can glide with the Drake, too, sailing through the air to wind up clinging to something else on the far side of the cavern. The Drake can also perform a lengthy jump, great for transferring from the ground to walls, from walls to trees, from pretty much anything to pretty much anything else, provided you've got enough room. I got to ride a friendly Rock Drake during my time in Aberration, and I rode it straight up a sheer rock wall. Naturally, climbing and gliding isn't restricted to just players. Can't quite stick the landing? Get your climbing pick out and try to latch onto something while you plummet. If you're ziplining and you need to make a quick escape, you can drop off the line and glide away. I got a bit better after some practice, but still had plenty of crash landings.Ĭombine these three new systems (after all the crafting you'll need to build these items) and you've got a fun way to get around the new underground biomes. You can get some lift while skimming through the air with your glider wings, but it's not at all like mounted flying and being able to carefully choose a spot to land. I'll definitely miss the convenience of hovering on a winged dino, but gliding adds a bit of immediacy and risk. There are no flying dinosaurs in Aberration, so you'll have to make do with gliding. ![]() Craft a zipline motor and (provided it's got enough fuel) you can slide up ziplines as well as down. And you're not limited to just sliding down them. Ziplines, which you can fire across gaps with crossbows and then anchor with a second shot, provide another fun way of traversing the map. Since the danger of falling to death is going to be such a big factor in these deep caves and chasms, you'll always want to have some extra picks in your inventory. I rarely unequipped my climbing picks while running around in Aberration, and you can see why above: I missed a jump and still managed to hook myself on and claw my way to the top.
