Obsidian locations on The Island
The accepted ASA dataset records 1,163 Obsidian resource actors inside the displayed map, grouped into 1,056 map formations. Compare the latitude totals and real GPS samples below, or open the atlas with only Obsidian selected.

Where to start looking
These are derived latitude thirds of the displayed map, not official biomes.
- Northern third (0–33.33 latitude)
- 162 resource actors
- Central third (33.33–66.67 latitude)
- 226 resource actors
- Southern third (66.67–100 latitude)
- 775 resource actors
Obsidian GPS samples
A spread sample of real actor coordinates, anchored on published members of map formations. GPS is displayed to two decimals; the map opens around the original unrounded coordinate.

Confidence, conditions and access
These locations come from accepted official ASA DevKit resource actors. Several actors can occupy one formation; the atlas groups them on a 0.05-GPS grid. Neither count predicts harvested units. Server changes, structures and respawn rules can affect what is present when you arrive. Elevation does not identify a surface, cave entrance or underwater route.
Check terrain and hazards in the atlas before travelling. The map can help inspect nearby features and save your own path; it does not verify a safe or optimized farming route.
This page covers ARK: Survival Ascended. ASE players should use the separate ARK: Survival Evolved community map; this pilot does not verify the ASA coordinates for ASE.
