In Ark: Survival Ascended, caves are among the most dangerous locations, so it is crucial to understand how to survive them. In a way, caves in Ark are like mini-dungeons, filled with worthy adversaries that have no problems overwhelming players, especially new ones. This is doubly so as many tamed creatures in Ark are too big to enter caves unless brought in with a Cryopod. Even then, some of Ascended‘s best creatures would likely be too large to maneuver about in many of these tight spaces easily.
