How To Get Sulfur In ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth

Resources in ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth are scarce and challenging to acquire, particularly due to the harsh environment of Scorched Earth. Sulfur, in particular, poses a significant challenge to gather initially but becomes essential as players progress from early to mid/late-game stages. 

For those in need of Sulfur and seeking guidance on its acquisition and usage within ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth, this comprehensive breakdown offers invaluable assistance.

How To Get Sulfur In ARK Scorched Earth

Before we dive straight into the best ways to farm for Sulfur, we should first discuss its uses in the game, of which there are quite a few. First off, Sulfur is used as an ingredient for crafting and is used to craft Preserving Salt and propellant, and even create the powerful Flamethrower weapon, making Sulfur a must-have if you want to craft these items.

Then we have its use as a consumable, specifically, Sulfur is used to tame a Rock Elemental, one of the most powerful creatures that roam Scorched Earth and can be quite hard to tame otherwise. Sulfur can also be used to feed a Phoenix once you have one tamed, and if you know how powerful these flaming birds are, then you're going to need some Sulfur to feed it.

Now that you know how Sulfur is used, let's move on to how you can farm it more efficiently on Scorched Earth, which is located in one of the most dangerous places on the map, the Wyvern Scar. Now you can get Sulfur from other nodes around the taller mountains of the map, but the Wyvern Scar has the most in abundance, and if you can avoid the Wyverns there you can easily be in and out with tons of Sulfur for your needs.

Once you reach the location shown on the map above, you can enter the southern point of the Wyvern Scar and make your way right down to the floor of the scar next to the large lava waterfall. From here, make your way south along the banks of the lava river, and keep your eyes peeled for the Sulfur deposits, which are the large yellow-looking rocks on the ground.

Once you find one, you can begin harvesting it for the Sulfur using a pickaxe (recommended) and it will easily give you 50+ Sulfur with each rock that you harvest and destroy. Now these rocks come in varying shapes, with the largest ones easily giving you over 100 Sulfur, and thanks to Sulfur's lightweight, you can gather tons of the resource without needing to come back and collect more when you need it.

This will give you a guaranteed metric ton of Sulfur if you're patient enough and can kill the Wyverns that fly around the Scar to have enough room for collecting Sulfur without dying. And with that, you're now all set to get as much Sulfur as you need when playing ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth.
