Where do you find scorpions?

[MaN]

I need chitin and haven't found any yet.

[Sharkicer]

Mountains. They're everywhere.

[Taylor Machine]

Inland, mountains, northern regions of the map

Be careful, more than one will most likely kill you if you don't have a mount

Those little basterds always sneak up on me, on the beach. Can't remember which ones though.

[Erebus]

What? Am I the only one playing as the Scorpian King, have 11 amassed so far and counting.

I want to have a bunch of pet scoprions as well but every time I see one I don't have a ranged weapon like a sling shot. They are smart little basterds too, I have never gone up aginst one face to face first. They always come from behind................. clever girls.

Bump. Anyone willing to share the best location to farm these? (outside of caves of course)

For anyone that doesnt know, Tame a sabertooth. Up its melee damage. You can bring it to 1k in most cases., then just go farm turtles You get 4-14 Keratine per turtle

[Wooty]

I get 0-4 per 5 turtles with a metal hatchet.

Caves and mostly deep forest area. I've killed many on the forest area on the south east most point on the map.

[trod42]

stroll mountains at night with torch in hand. it attracts carnivores to you.

The east river...the one with river mouth in northeaster area...just south of the long bay. Go inland a bit along the river, then before the waterfall to to the south...always see em around there.

Small hint to everyone who haves Scorpions... if u try to kill something that knocks u back.. dont get to close to the water.. idk if it is a bug but my scorpion just died in the water because he was stuck by anything or maybe they r ment to die in the water...

[White, the Loiterer]

When your running through the forest at night without a single weapon or any armor when your trying to get back to your base.

They will find you.

[stunner]

Now, since someone already necro'd this thread. You can just kill ants for chitin, heaps of chitin.

Death Island in the upper right hand corner of the map usually has 2 to 3 scorpions at any given time, and respawn quicker than on the main island. That might not seem like much, but it adds up quickly. This smaller island is called 'Death Island' due to the fact that nothing but predators spawn there.

Here is how to work the Death Island. Use a high end predator, because carnotaurus, T-Rex, raptors, argentavis, sabertooths, and scorpions mob the island. There are distinct areas of the island that seem to spawn differently, and you should be aware of them.. There is a small section off to the side nearest the coast of the main Ark island, we call 'Pit Stop Island,' because nothing seems to spawn on it. (It is a great place to re-stam flyers). The South half of the island spawns the normal selection of creatures. Nothing seems to spawn in the center of the island, and not much wanders up there. The Northwest half fo the island spawns normal numbers of creatures. The Northeast (or back of the island) seems to spawn normal numbes of creatures. 'Chaos Island' isa little isolated section in the back of Death Island that spawns tons of creatures, and is often the site of mob battles (ie. several types of dinos and creatures simultaneously in one big battle). The area closest to the main Ark Island spawns a few raptors occasionally.

Once you've cleared a spawn zone, nothing will respawn until you leave that zone. We often stay on the northwest side for a few minutes and then go hunt the south side of the island, or vice-a-versa. While we clear one side or the other, Chaos Island and the far coast seem to respawn. Hanging out in the middle of the island seems to supress all spawns but Chaos Island.

I've taken my T-Rex out there, and in a couple of hours tallied up around 300 chitin.
