This guide will show you the ways how to get to Herbivore Island in ARK: Survival Evolved without dying.
Rafting
This is the simplest way to get to the titular island. When you get to Level 16, there’s a raft engram. Learn it, and get the materials. Then, craft it, and place it on water. In concept, this is simple, it’s a boat, but there are difficulties.
There’s a jumbo size dumb fish named Leedsichthys, or Whale, despite the two creatures not even related on the evolutionary tree at all. The big ♥♥♥♥ targets anything that has to do with a raft crossing the waters, which also includes motorboats. It can be warded off using Giant Bee Honey, so it’s recommended to get Bees and Ghillie to survive the trip.
Sea Mounts
This is also an efficient way of getting to the island. Grab a sea mount, preferably a Megalodon or Mosasaurus, and tame it. Make sure to craft the saddle, too. Bring a few Dolphins with you, as an escort. This way is generally safe if you have a powerful ocean mount, but if you’ve got a Ptera or Pelagornis, then you can skip this.
Touch the Sky
This step can be done around level 38 or something, well, generally, once you get a Pteranodon saddle and a Pteranodon. Simply fly over there. This is better achieved by using the Pelagornis, which is capable of landing on the water to regain stamina.
An Argy is even better because you can carry a variety of creatures with you, including small ones in its beak, thus allowing you to properly settle down and build a base, in relative calmness.
Settling Guide
Now, you’ve got to the most peaceful island, with no predators at all, and you’ve already crafted a base there. Now, what do you do.
The first step is to settle on Carnivore Island all the way in the north and battle everything.
Just kidding. The first step is to amass a legion of Ankylosauruses, something very easy because they spawn here. The second is to mine a lot of metal, which also spawns here. A pro tip is that metal structures are awesome, yet impractical. Not a lot of creatures can damage the stone. Yes, that includes Ankys and Doedicurus, which is pathetic, because they’re the ones that mine rocks.
