I just love the map by looking at it. It is just so beautiful and holds everything a Bob's heart can wish for. And, as a Lord of the Rings fan, all the iconic castles/ruins make things even better. This might be the best free-to-play map ARK has every seen!
as a huge nerd and lotr fan, this map is amazing in every sense of the word. I've been on the map and have accumulated great wealth from the mines of moria, and sacrifice things to Balin, the most ballin dwarf in all the land. And they call it a mine, A MINE! rip Balin
Despite being an ark veteran, i always love seeing these survival guides and i just played fjördurs official version yesterday for the first time, so this is coming in just in time! :)
Holy thats an ultimate tutorial to the map! But theres one thing you missed, if you punch the cubic boxes that are in Cunning cave or in the Erebor next to the anvil you get polimer (not organic)
Nicely put together guide. Breaking the beach crates/barrels with a tool (pick/hatchet) will yield better results, including cooked meat from the intact barrels.
Desmodus is freaking awesome. Especially because you can use Sanguine Elixir with Immersive Taming mod, very helpful. The one problem I have with them is that you have to hold R to toggle life steal and night vision and it's the same button that throws your shoulder pet when you're mounted
This video is actually wonderful timing, me and some new buddies of mine were discussing setting up a fjordur server and I was worried about not having enough information to have smooth sailing with the map
The fjord hawk is taming faster with heavier corpses I tried to take a calicotherium and I get encumbered but with a parasaur not On the wiki it’s written “The drag weight of the dino carasses affects how much progress it made per scavenging.”
Your map survival guides are the best Raasclark. I still watch prior map videos for pleasure, due to your great presentation. You have gone far in beyond on the Fjordur one, it is very in depth. I watch your content daily from here in Australia. I appreciate the constant flow of content and hope you are rewarded for your hard work down the line. You are number one in my book for Ark vids. Peace out!
Oh, I loved this guide, mate. It's so detailed and well done! I love it! Great work covering all that in such a brief time. I've been playing this map for only 2 days but it's amazing so far. And with this guide, I've doubled my desire to keep playing!
I think we can all agree that this was one of the best explanations of the map and what the objectives are for this new adventure. Haven't been on ark for months but, this... this I'm coming back for.
There is a cave at around 80, 05 or so. I would have to go back to it to double check the exact location. You have to crawl through a tiny crack in the mountain to get inside.
I really hope Ark 2 offers players a vast array of creativity, and that it'll be easier for players to craft glorious maps like this. Players are the lifeblood of a game series, and I hope the head of Ark see this, and give players free reign to create to their hearts content.
Yeah and the compression is going to be crap so ARK 2 will need 2TB of hard drive space. My current ARK install is 612GB but I contribute to the modding community so I have a lot of extra files in there for mod/map making. Literally had to buy a hard drive just for ARK and one other game. Hope the head of ARK hires someone not off the shortbus like they did in ARK with zero credentials and no ability to pack or compress game files. I seriously think they just went out on the street and bribe the first homeless person they found with a sandwich to do their compression algorithm. Currently ark really works AGAINST creators and has shitty tools to craft our own worlds. They actively work to limit creativity with garbage systems and organization.
@@davidmoak1219 They likely had no idea how big Are would become. That doesn't really excuse them not fixing the issue years on, but hopefully they'll correct it now. Ark 2 is meant to be better, and they're making a lot of in game changes, and this will likely be one of them. I think they might do it like Minecraft Bedrock, with their market place. I honestly wouldn't mind paying for good mods, because you guys spend SO much time on them, you're practically making a new game.
@@mulqueen2023 They probably just don't want to go back and compress all the files and deal with the problems that arise. I'm sure ARK 2 will be much better in this regard
I want ark 2 to eliminate meshing please and focus more on pvp than pve stuff extinction fucked ark up with the titans and stuff people keeping the titans 24 hrs a day big tribes of 20 plus cheating with meshing and stuff like c'mon fix your game you have made enough money
Your voice is very pleasant to listen to. As someone who struggles with tones it makes it difficult to enjoy an ark video with some people narrating. This I could hear everything you were saying and it was informative. Thanks Raas. Can’t wait to binge watch more videos from your channel!!!
I'm going to be brutally honest, Mjolnir looks pretty anticlimactic from what I've seen, like it's cool and all but for literally slaying every endboss, collecting every explorer note and runestone and beating Fenrisúlfr on Alpha I'd expect it to at least be able to zap a Dodo to death, the lightning seems pretty weak if it even does damage
Sounds like it would be better if it stunned enemies, like the Tek Pistol. I haven't tried it out yet, but maybe it does damage to Tek structures, the same way the Voidwyrm does?
Ya idk what your talking about. Frankly you shouldn't be making comments like this untill you try the weapon it self. Leads a poor taste in peoples mouths who havent tried the map yet. From what IV SEEN heard and read. Mjolnir is fucking awsome lol and its a Throwable Hammer. Making it awsome by default.
At 7.50 while looking down on gandalf bridge at the aberrant cave area there is a hidden cave on the right hand side (from the point of view in the video) at the same ish height. it leads to a kind of super charged aberrant zone with gas veins and such. Its not huge but its great
Me and my tribe have the base at 53, 70 it's a really good castle and easy to hold off, only problem is there's constant action. Luckily no one's made it past the turret towers on the outside.
Surprisingly, I managed to snag one of the rooms in the Lunar cave on a constant ~45/100 after joining late (1 week later) Either no one knew about it yet, or they didn't like it. Their loss, my gain :3 *_(PvE unofficial btw)_*
Thank you for this. It saved me months of potential suffering. I'm a solo player and had been gone from the game for awhile Coming back I was under the impression that the Devs had decided to make the game too hard for casual or solo players, and seeing all of this, I realize that I was right, It has reached the point where ARK is pretty much unplayable unless you are an Elite player with either a small group of more Elite players or a big Alpha Tribe. I just wish they would simply make that clear on the store page so that players like me don;t wind up shelling out money for the new expansions to then find out that we can't even begin to finish them.
What a ton of work putting this video together!! Thank you its very much appreciated!! Especially as an avg player. I've been taming and breeding and grabbing items to hopefully finally beat a map. Thanks mate!
This video was amazing and there's still plenty not covered, what a map. I've been waiting for the lag to die down and it has. Time to begin my adventure!
just got back into ark and I was like huh cool a new map. I kinda hated it cuz it just consisted of mountains at first but I picked the bottom left spawn. Litterally the only boring part of the map was where I started. But I remembered your old map guides and Im glad that Im gonna give this map another shot but go to the fun part where stuff actually is.
That was a great guide! I haven't gotten very far in Ark, and by the looks of all these caves it would be best to just start off on the Island and then go to later maps, those are a lot of requirements, and the caves are more hidden than on the Island
Let me start by saying that this map is awesome, and I’m so excited to play now! Only issue is that you missed the obvious Goonies reference with that cave with the artifact of the cunning lol
my fjordur adventure started today on a very good start gods bless the shipwrecks and how easy high level pteras are to find (I got a 150 perfect tame one as my first ever tame lol) living in the big ol castle on the hill now
He said for jotunheim that it reaches temperatures below 50 Celsius, pretty sure Australia doesn’t even hit 50 Celsius. Think he meant below - 50 Celsius

The best free map for sure

nice!
I thought it would be cool if they made the dragon boss look like Smaug/Ancalagon
@@bensalmon2949 YES
I just love how nice this map looks. All those Atlas assets make it look much higher quality than other maps. And the realms are such a cool concept.
I feel like the bee boss should have been in Vanaheim.
New to the game and then this is the first ever map I’ve played so far, its absolutely breathtaking.

It's not a tutorial, it's an ad to sell it's awesomeness. Tutorial would be way less bombastic and much more practical.
The last video of this kind, my first video of you was a survival guide and now it comes to an end. I really enjoyed the series
Thank you 🙂 Wanted to see these out with a bang!
I left the game after genesis 1 but I came back for this. What a phenomenal map to play on
don't neglect lost island as well. it's worth having a sinmacrops, if not a dinopithecus as well.
@@TehSymbiote I’ll hit that one next! Thanks.
@@NuclearWinter69 if you're on a clutser hit up gen 2, that thing has amazing resources, great ending, and its deffo worth having a shadowmane
Gen 2 is also an amazing adventure!

Yea it's a huge problem I've seen..can you switch buttons in controls to fix it?
Personly dont factor in mods to how good a tame is. Not everyone can use or have those
In fact most cant. And many are on console now lmao.

Try a basilosaurus. They have a drag weight of 12000 for some reason.

I haven't tried it out yet, but maybe it does damage to Tek structures, the same way the Voidwyrm does?
it scales with the tek sword's dmg tho
It’s damage is proportional to max health of the target, plus a bonus damage based on the % over 100 the damage is

One of the castles is a repaired version of the in the redwood in valguro
Finally! Was waiting on this, thanks man 🙏🏿
Can we pls underline how epic, perfect and detailed that Guide is? Man, respect to you. Awesome!!
Thank you 🙂
Sadly I dont have that much time to grind hardcore in Ark, so its perfect with your guides! Thanks a mil! Greetings from Bavaria.
Outstanding job and great video! You've single handedly helped my friends and I organize our to-do lists!
Thank you!

Thank you Ross Clock for another gem of a video that I will be referring back to, multiple times, for the rest of my life!
Honestly as i get more obsessed with Ark, i cant believe all this is free. Im on Valguero and just started breeding Deoniseus (spelling). im hooked.
Downloaded this game back into my GBA the minute this was announced. Right beautiful sight this is!
This is definitely the most useful Fjordur video that I ever found
It covers everything, a very helpful guide

Thank you for the hard work in summarizing everything about the map 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this!! There were so many great base locations I didnt even know about and found a nice area to start out at.
This map is very good so far thx for this amazing vid
6 minutes into the video and i have to say this is the coolest map I’ve ever seen on ark..
Clever and pack cave was super easy with rock drake and walking by walls and ceiling:)
Amazing and clear video! Thank you for making this I will be coming back to this constantly to refresh my memory.

this, i understood. thank you for all the work

Dude,you are only working on videos; but only 181k is sad.😢
This map is a great map to get element shard because there is no eruption in the volcanic cave so you can just peacefully farm it.
Couldve used this 25 ark days ago😂 in all seriousness love your videos. You’ve helped with so much
I've also found that the myr islands are a good place to breed dinos on single player cause there's no carnivores barring a few dilos here and there
Omg your the ONlY one who tells somthing good thanks
thank you for this overview I am off to wander your other videos now
Very well done video. Great editing. Great info. Worthy of a like and subscribe.
Thank you!
I always rely on you for a good map overview/guide. This map is so diversed!
This was amazing. Thank you!
Thank you for making 1 video on all of this.
Appreciate the time you put into this!

This was an amazing video! Thanks for everything man :)
