Ark Survival Evolved: Fjordur Map Complete Guide
By wasim, 25 Dec 2022

Ark: Survival Evolved was released in 2017 by Studio Wildcard as an action-adventure video game where your objective is to survive. Recently, Ark: Survival Evolved released an official and non-canonical DLC expansion of a map called Fjordur with new features such as caves and resources. It was released on June 12, 2022, and it is free of cost. It is available on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac, and Consoles.

Fjordur: New Ark Survival Evolved Map

Fjordur map in Ark: Survival Evolved spans over 140 square kilometers. The Island has an area of around 40 square kilometers, making the Fjordur map more than three times its size. However, it is smaller than the Ragnarok map in the area, but large cave systems are something similar to them.

Three Portals

There are three different realms that you can travel to when you are located in Midgard, each of them containing its biome with different creatures, some having bosses.

1) Jotunheim

This is one of the more unforgiving realms in Fjordur not only due to the dangerous creatures that can be found but also the deadly weather that can kill you in seconds.

This freezing land may require that you wear your best fur armor, light some campfires and torches or even prepare some Fria Curry or Wyvern Milk to keep yourself warm.

Jotunheim is home to one of the deadly world bosses, Steinbjorn, another enemy players need to defeat to progress through the map.

2) Vanaheim

The land of the deadly Poison Wyverns, where you can find several of the torpor-inflicting creatures such as Beelzebufo and Titanoboa roaming.

This large and beautiful forest is full of many resources which are not easily found on the mainland and can be a great place to visit from time to time for collecting.

Vanaheim is also where players head if they are brave enough to steal Poison Wyvern eggs to hatch and raise as their own.

3) Asgard

Probably one of the most relaxed areas in Fjordur and with a name similar to that of Norse Mythology, you could expect it to be a favorite among players.

Wide lands and several creatures to tame are scattered all around Asgard, which makes it a peaceful and easy place for most players to build in.

Asgard is also the home of Hati and Skoll Boss who can be summoned and fought as a world boss for players who want to progress in Fjordur.

Ruins

You will come across various ruins all over the map, some of which are

  • Moria / Khazad-dûm: if you are a fan of Lord of the Rings, make sure you visit the place as the ruin contains an attempted construction of Dwarf City. It has Balin’s tomb and the bridge where Gandalf said, ‘You shall not pass.’
  • Helm’s Deep: this ruin is also for the Lord of the Rings fans. It is the construction of the fortress of Rohan. It has statues, the Hornsburg wall, and a cave that is accessible by the central citadel.

In each biome, you will see a fortress, as there are many of them scattered all over the map. There are a lot of abandoned homes that cover the map. You can access these homes; however, some of these will be locked, and there is no way to go in.

If you want to farm resources, then don’t forget to visit Giant Beaver Dens. There is also a cave inspired by an Elemental region having radioactive lakes and rivers. There are 200 Runes that you can find all over the map and the three realms. These Runes function as explorer notes, and you get five additional levels every time you find 100 of these.

New Creatures in Fjordur

The map Fjordur in Ark: Survival Evolved contains a new species of dinosaurs, including the almighty Andrewsarchus, the blood-hungry Desmodus, and the odd-filed Aberrant Megalania, the fearsome Fenrir, and the keen eyes Fjordhawk.

Not all of the creatures can be found in a single realm, which may push players to travel to find specific ones they wish to tame.

Only by making use of The Hidden Worlds cave will players be able to fully venture towards the progression and eventually reach the Fjordur final boss.

Andrewsarchus

From the Community Creature votes, Andrewsarchus is the first winner of the Fjordur map. It is a creature with sluggish movement but has quite an appetite. Once it spots a player, it will attack with no hesitation. However, if you successfully tame this creature, it will evolve in a sense.

It will have faster movement, the ability to mount a turret, and drifting, which will allow you to defeat the enemies easily. You will be able to find it at coordinates: 41.0 – 82.0, 25.0 – 71.0.

In order to tame Andrewsarchus, you need to go near it without making a sound. Throw honey in front of it and let it eat. Jump on their back when it’s eating, and you will see arrow prompts appearing on the screen; all you have to do is follow them. Upon killing Andrewsarchus, you will get its hide and raw meat.

Fjordhawk

It is a bird that prefers flying high in the sky. Unlike other creatures, it has a caring nature. It is easy to tame, and once you do, you can indicate a target, and it will assist in fetching it. Fjordhawk can be your prey hunter as well as it will locate and communicate a prey’s findings to you.


You will be able to find it at coordinates: (15.0 24.0). To tame this bord, you will have to kill a creature nearby it. Let it eat the creature, and soon it will be your pet.

Desmodus

The creature comes at number 2 in Fjordur. Consider it as an arrogant bat that prefers to roam in dark places, especially caves. It keeps on waiting for its prey and devours it at the perfect moment. Once you are able to tame it, you can command Desmodus to show you the new dark heights in Fjordur.

You will be able to find it at coordinates: (90.0 78.0). Desmodus has the ability to produce Sanguine Elixir. It is a potion that will increase your taming chances by 30%.

Fenrir

It is a ferocious wolf compared to Direwolf. You will have to beat six mini-bosses in the Fjordur map of Ark: Survival Evolved to unlock it.

Fjordur Beyla: (04.6 47.2), Steinbjorn: (Jotunheim Portal 77.7 30.8), Hati & Skol: (Asgard Portal 20.5 37.1), Broodmother Lysrix: (57.3 65.6), Megapithecus: (56.6 84.6), Dragon: (86.2 05.1)

 It is obtainable after beating a boss fight with Fenrisúlfr from a cryopod.

Aberrant Megalania

It is a giant monitor lizard shown in the game as an arboreal cave dweller. They used to live in Australia during the late Pleistocene epoch. Its taming method is knockout, and it is rideable as well as breedable. Carrying a weapon on it is also an option, making it easier for you to defeat enemies. 


You will be able to find it at coordinates: (35.0 31.0)

These creatures can be tamed after entering the Hidden Grotto. Capture one by using a harpoon weapon with a stretched net. When it is in the net, use kibble or extraordinary kibble to feed it. Upon killing one Aberrant Megalania, you will get its hide and meat along with the probability of getting some toxin.
