ARK: Survival Ascended - Valguero Map: Ultimate Polymer Farming GuideThis video provides a comprehensive guide to farming organic polymer on the Valguero map in Ark Survival Ascended. It covers three primary methods: harvesting polymer plants, collecting from dead creatures, and hunting live polymer-bearing creatures. Key locations and optimal strategies for each method are detailed, including coordinates and recommended tames.
1. 🌲 Redwood Biome: The Best Organic Polymer Plant Location
- ✅ The redwood biome near the red obelisk is the best location for farming polymer plants.
- ✅ Look for a large hollowed-out tree stump at coordinates 80.8, 15.1.
- ✅ The dire bear is the most efficient tame for harvesting these plants.
| Tame | Harvesting Efficiency |
|---|---|
| Dire Bear | Excellent |
| Therizinosaur | Good (with points in delicate harvesting) |

2. ⛏️ Alternative Polymer Plant Locations & Harvesting Tips
- ✅ The Artifact of the Sky Lord cave (entrance at 78.5, 90.4) is another good location for polymer plants.
- ⚠️ Be prepared for high-level cave creatures like snakes, Arthropluera, scorpions, and spiders.
- ✅ The Therizinosaur is a viable alternative for harvesting, especially with points allocated to delicate harvesting.
| Location | Polymer Obtained |
|---|---|
| Redwood Tree Stump (Dire Bear) | 2,795 |
| Redwood Tree Stump (Therizinosaur) | 1,152 |
01:39 - 03:30
3. ☢️ Aberration Zone: High-Yield Polymer Farming (Radiation Warning)
- ⚠️ The aberration area, specifically the radiation zone (entrance at 35.6, 65.1), contains many polymer plants but poses radiation hazards.
- ⚠️ Players need a full hazard suit to avoid radiation damage.
- ⚠️ Tames like bears and therizinosaurs require Mushroom Brew for temporary radiation protection (2 minutes).
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Player Protection | Full Hazard Suit |
| Tame Protection | Mushroom Brew (2-minute protection) |
03:31 - 04:33
4. 🐻❄️ Aberration Zone Polymer Yield
- ✅ Despite the radiation hazards, the aberration zone offers high polymer yields.
- ✅ Harvesting only two areas can quickly encumber a dire bear.
| Location | Polymer Obtained |
|---|---|
| Aberration Zone (2 areas, Dire Bear) | 3,720 |
04:34 - 05:35
5. 🐬 Dolphin Carcasses: Quick Polymer Source
- ✅ Dead dolphin carcasses along the shoreline provide a quick source of polymer.
- ✅ Coordinates 39.9, 36.2 and 41.6, 38.3 are good spots with multiple corpses.
- ✅ The description lists 13 dead dolphin locations.
| Tool | Efficiency |
|---|---|
| Chainsaw | Best |
| Pick/Hatchet | Viable (early game) |
05:36 - 06:15
6. 🦖 Swamp Carcasses: High-Yield Polymer from Rexes and Stegos
- ✅ Dead T-Rexes and Stegos in the swamp yield more polymer than dolphins.
- ⚠️ The swamp is dangerous.
- ✅ Coordinates 38, 84.7 mark a location with four carcasses.
| Creature | Location | Polymer Yield |
|---|---|---|
| Dolphin | Shoreline | Lower |
| T-Rex/Stego | Swamp | Higher |
06:16 - 06:43
7. 👾 Hunting Live Creatures for Polymer: Cearinos and Mantis
- ✅ Killing and harvesting polymer-giving creatures is another method.
- ✅ Cearinos in the aberration zone (green fertile area) are the best option.
- ✅ Mantis can be found in the Wyvern area.
| Creature | Location | Harvesting Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Cearinos | Aberration Zone (Green Fertile Area) | Chainsaw (Best) |
| Mantis | Wyvern Area | Chainsaw (Best) |
