Forget about Wyverns and Phoenixes, finding an Ovis might be your biggest challenge inArk Ascend: Scorched Earth.
How to find and tame Ovis Fast in Ark Ascended: Scorched Earth
There’s no shortage of rare dinosaurs and creatures inArk Ascended: Scorched Earth. But prepare to spend a considerable amount of time hunting down the one source of Raw Mutton, which is one of the best forms of meat for taming. And, as far as I’ve been able to ascertain, there arethreemain locations you may find Ovis inArk Ascended: Scorched Earth. But be aware, Ovis areuncommon spawnsand you might spend a significant amount of time hunting one down.
Each of these locations is, perhaps unsurprisingly, near water and is defined by itslush greenery and generally flat terrain.This can make Ovis spawns easier to locate while you’re astride the back of a wyvern or other aerial steed.
The first location is at70.4, 39.1. I recommend this location first because it’s easy to find, and it’s thelargest spawn areafor Ovis. To find this Ovis spawn, look for the giantred floating obeliskin the southern and western portions of the map to find a pool of water. It’s around these shores that Ovis can possibly spawn. But the area is absolutely rife with other dinos, so it’s a good idea tokill themif you don’t see an Ovis. Doing so will give Ovis a chance to spawn, as only a set amount of dinos can be in an area at any given time.
Our second location is at70.9, 38.1. Go here, and you’ll find yourself at thesouthernmost shoreof the river that runs throughScorched Earth. On both sides of the riverbank here, it’s possible to find an Ovis. But I rank it as thesecond-best placeto try to find an Ovis because it has low dinosaur spawns. That might be a positive, as there’s less chance that a carnivore willattack any Ovisbefore you can swoop in and find it. But it also means that you’re less likely to find your coveted lamb on these shores.
The third uncommon spawn point for Ovis is at49.7 75.6. This spawn point is just beneath the giant floatinggreen obelisk, and it’s very similar to our first location. The big difference is that the spawn area is slightly smaller than the red obelisk. But it does have some positives. There aren’t a significant amount of carnivore dinos here, beyond a smattering of Thorny Dragons. And its open area means that you can quickly determine whether there’s an Ovis in the area. It’s also pretty close to a beginner-friendlymetal farm.
Once you see an Ovis, it’s important to note that they’repassiveand nonviolent. But they’ll run if attacked, and dinosaurs love attacking them. Long-range weapons likebolosare great for immobilizing Ovis before they can get too far. But tranquilizer darts will do just fine, too. Once you’ve immobilized your sheep, you’ll need to feed itSweet Vegetable Cake, which will require some rare ingredients, includingGiant Bee Honey. So, be well-prepared unless you just want to kill the Ovis for some quick mutton. To feed the Ovis, you’ll need to approach it while it’s unconscious, and then open its inventory with the interact button. Take the Sweet Vegetable Cake from your inventory and drag it onto the Ovis. It will eat the Sweet Vegetable Cake and officially become your new lamb. But if that all sounds too tedious, why not grab someArtifactsand fight the boss instead?
