Ark: How to Light a Campfire

A campfire is a great way to cook food, keep warm, and provide light in the wilderness. In Ark: Survival Evolved, lighting a campfire is a relatively simple process. However, there are some important things to keep in mind in order to do it safely and effectively.

To light a campfire, you will need:

  • Flint
  • Tinder (such as wood shavings, dry grass, or paper)
  • Kindling (such as small twigs and sticks)
    • Once you have gathered your materials, follow these steps:

      1. Create a fire pit. This can be done by clearing a small area of ground and digging a shallow hole in the center.
      2. Place the tinder in the center of the fire pit.
      3. Use the flint to create sparks on the tinder. Be patient, as this may take a few tries.
      4. Once the tinder has caught fire, add kindling to the fire and blow gently to encourage the flames.
      5. Once the fire is burning strongly, add larger pieces of wood to keep it going.
      6. Always keep a safe distance from the fire, and never leave it unattended. If the fire begins to get out of control, smother it with water or dirt.
