Forget about Wyverns and Phoenixes, finding an Ovis might be your biggest challenge in Ark Ascend: Scorched Earth.
How to find and tame Ovis Fast in Ark Ascended: Scorched Earth
There’s no shortage of rare dinosaurs and creatures in Ark Ascended: Scorched Earth. But prepare to spend a considerable amount of time hunting down the one source of Raw Mutton, which is one of the best forms of meat for taming. And, as far as I’ve been able to ascertain, there are three main locations you can find Ovis in Ark Ascended: Scorched Earth. But be aware, Ovis are uncommon spawns and you might spend a significant amount of time hunting one down.
Each of these locations is, perhaps unsurprisingly, near water and is defined by its lush greenery and generally flat terrain. This can make Ovis spawns easier to locate while you’re astride the back of a wyvern or other aerial steed.
The first location is at 70.4, 39.1. I recommend this location first because it’s easy to find, and it’s the largest spawn area for Ovis. To find this Ovis spawn, look for the giant red floating obelisk in the southern and western portions of the map to find a pool of water. It’s around these shores that Ovis can possibly spawn. But the area is absolutely rife with other dinos, so it’s a good idea to kill them if you don’t see an Ovis. Doing so will give Ovis a chance to spawn, as only a set amount of dinos can be in an area at any given time.
Our second location is at 70.9, 38.1. Go here, and you’ll find yourself at the southernmost shore of the river that runs through Scorched Earth. On both sides of the riverbank here, it’s possible to find an Ovis. But I rank it as the second-best place to try to find an Ovis because it has low dinosaur spawns. That might be a positive, as there’s less chance that a carnivore will attack any Ovis before you can swoop in and find it. But it also means that you’re less likely to find your coveted lamb on these shores.
The third uncommon spawn point for Ovis is at 49.7 75.6. This spawn point is just beneath the giant floating green obelisk, and it’s very similar to our first location. The big difference is that the spawn area is slightly smaller than the red obelisk. But it does have some positives. There aren’t a significant amount of carnivore dinos here, beyond a smattering of Thorny Dragons. And its open area means that you can quickly determine whether there’s an Ovis in the area. It’s also pretty close to a beginner-friendly metal farm.
Once you see an Ovis, it’s important to note that they’re passive and nonviolent. But they’ll run if attacked, and dinosaurs love attacking them. Long-range weapons like bolos are great for immobilizing Ovis before they can get too far. But tranquilizer darts will do just fine, too. Once you’ve immobilized your sheep, you’ll need to feed it Sweet Vegetable Cake, which will require some rare ingredients, including Giant Bee Honey. So, be well-prepared unless you just want to kill the Ovis for some quick mutton. To feed the Ovis, you’ll need to approach it while it’s unconscious, and then open its inventory with the interact button. Take the Sweet Vegetable Cake from your inventory and drag it onto the Ovis. It will eat the Sweet Vegetable Cake and officially become your new lamb. But if that all sounds too tedious, why not grab some Artifacts and fight the boss instead?
