To create unique items in Ark Survival Ascended, you'll need to gather specific, rare ingredients. One such ingredient is Rare Flowers, which can be pretty challenging to find due to their elusive nature. Many players spend hours searching for these elusive blooms hidden amidst the thick foliage on the island.

Fortunately, you no longer have to search aimlessly. This guide is here to assist you in locating Rare Flowers in Ark Survival Ascended and understanding their role as a crafting resource in the game.

Ark Survival Ascended Rare Flowers: How To Get And Uses

Rare Flowers in Ark Survival Ascended can be elusive mainly due to their scarcity rather than being hard to spot. In fact, identifying them is relatively easy. Look for red flowers near the summits of mountains in certain areas (note that frozen tundra areas don't seem to spawn them).

You can use your fists to harvest these plants, and there's a high chance of obtaining Rare Flowers. While it's not a 100% guarantee, you're likely to collect enough by harvesting just three or four of these plants.

Alternatively, you can find and loot Giant Beaver Dams located along the rivers that run through the island. These dams typically yield Rare Flowers along with other resources like Cementing Paste, Wood, and more.

Locating these dams can sometimes come with risks, so make sure you're prepared to fend off dinosaurs and other creatures like Castoroides if you want to clear out the Giant Dams. While acquiring Rare Flowers can be challenging/dangerous and time-consuming, as outlined above, it's certainly worth the effort.

Rare Flowers are a crucial crafting ingredient for various items, and one in particular, the Lesser Antidote, is necessary for curing Swamp Fever, an extremely annoying and possibly life-threatening illness you can easily catch while exploring the map.

This means that having an ample supply of Rare Flowers is vital for your longevity and resistance against threats beyond just dinosaurs trying to harm you.

Rare Flowers are also used in other crafting recipes and can be used to tame certain creatures. Knowing where to find them is an essential lesson to learn. Fortunately, you now know precisely how to locate these Rare Flowers, allowing you to efficiently invest your time in farming and stockpiling as much as you need for your adventures in Ark Survival Ascended.
