This guide covers everything you need to know to acquire Element in Ark Survival Ascended, including which bosses drop this resource across various maps.
Where to find Element in Ark Survival Ascended
Element in Ark Survival Ascended can only be obtained by defeating bosses. The quantity of this resource you can acquire is contingent upon the difficulty level of the bosses you defeat.
Currently, Ark Survival Ascended features two maps: The Island and Scorched Earth. Each map hosts different bosses that players can challenge. Of the four bosses available on The Island, Element can be obtained from three: Broodmother Lysrix, Megapithecus, and Dragon. The Overseer doesn't drop this item.
On the other hand, defeating the Manticore boss in Scorched Earth will reward you with Element.
Additional DLC maps are on the way, with the release date of The Center DLC recently announced for Ark Survival Ascended.
