These include creatures like the Corrupted Wyvern from Scorched Earth and the Corrupted Rock Drake from Aberration.

Due to the over-exposure of the Element, their minds and bodies have become too Corrupted to be tamed like their original counterparts, and must be killed on sight since not only will they destroy anything non-corrupt in their way, their minds moves in a 'hive-mentality' state which makes any previous Temperament they were known for redundant. The corruption of Element has led to turning most of the Creatures into a variant known as 'Corrupted' which roam around the earth. Crossing the outer boundary of the map will, unlike in the other maps, instantly kill you and your tamed creature.Ĭorrupted Earth contains living creatures. The in parts irregular outer boundary of the map is indicated with poles bearing red lights at the top. This new feature requires all survivors with their tamed Creatures to fend off against waves of Corrupted Creatures to obtain the items left behind inside, in the form of PvE style raid. Some of these resources, such as Blue Crystalized Sap and Silicate serve as substitutes for other resources.Ĭorrupted Earth contains several interactive structure drops known as Orbital Supply Drops and Element Nodes. Despite being called 'dead' this Earth may be more alive than we first thought, but with life we don't understand.Ĭorrupted Earth features several new resources as well as existing ones from previous DLCs. The Sludge Basin is tucked beneath the cliffs of the Spires, and is primarily filled by rivers of murky goo. The Spires are formed of sweeping, curving cliffs and, as it's name suggests, spires, and borders the dropoff at the edge of the map. The central south of the wasteland holds the Sweeping Spires and the Sludge Basin. It contains a flat, open area at the top of the Zone, where the King Titan is fought. The Forbidden Zone, considered by some players to be the most dangerous part of the wasteland, makes up the northern center of the map and is overall paler in colour than the rest of the area. Despite containing acid in place of water, and being harsh, dry and rocky, it is one of the more liveable areas of the wasteland and due to containing sulfur, gas and sap, it can be worth visiting for it's resources. Toward the bottom left of the map lie the Sulfur Fields.

Strangely enough, the Proto-ARKs represent past challenges the survivor has faced: the Sanctuary and Snow Dome vaguely representing The Island, the Desert Dome representing Scorched Earth, and the Sunken Forest bearing similarities to Aberration. Another exists to the northwest, called the Sunken Forest, which was supposed to be another ARK but failed when it collapsed into the ground, presumably due to there being a large sinkhole underneath it.

To the north, the Snow Dome, a second Proto-ARK. To the southeast, the desert Proto-ARK exists. They are still there, however, in the protective borders of the Proto-ARKs. Outside of the city borders, pockets of life can be hard to find among the corrupted wasteland. It is the remains of some great technologically advanced civilization, the same one that built the ARKs. In the center of the map lies an abandoned city, usually referred to as the Great City or Sanctuary. This map, set on Ravaged Earth rather than an ARK up in space, forces players to survive an Earth unfamiliar to us: one of strange features and stranger creatures.
