What is on the floating island in Ark Survival Ascended The Center?

The island, or The Center, floats over a landlocked ocean. This plane is named The Cauldron, which is an intriguing place surrounded by large waterfalls and treacherous swamplands. In this area, you can find various special resources, such as Oil and Pearls, making it a vital location to explore if you have the means to do so.

In terms of creatures, you can find the dreadful Megalodon in the waters of The Cauldron, so be cautious before diving in. The floating island, on the other hand, has a massive cave system that spans all across its mass. You can find various minerals in these caves and other resources.

On top of the island are various spires rich in metal. In the middle of the floating landmass, you will find a large pond. There is nothing special about this pond so far, except it is home to a large colony of Castoroides. The floating island in Ark Survival Ascended may be visually stunning, but it is filled with dangerous predators and other creatures.
