3) Lava Cave at 26.6 70.6

This is one in the volcanic region of Ark Lost Island. Players can build their bases and design their defences with respect to the lava inside the cave. SEAASER suggests building defences elevated over the lava.

The narrow pathways and the bridges over the lava in the cave can be used as chokepoints. The cave inside also has a lot of space inside, along with some resources. It is also the location for the Artifact of the Immune.
