How to find Fireball Burners in ARC Raiders

Fireballs have never been a good experience for me in ARC Raiders, but you’ll want to encounter them as much as possible if you’re aiming to complete the Flickering Flames project.

Released as part of the Cold Snap update, the Flickering Flames project provides you with different rewards available across five levels. Fireball Burners is one of several items that you’ll need to find to complete the project tasks.

This guide will help you figure out more about how to find the Burners.

Best locations for Fireball Burners in ARC Raiders

To find Fireball Burners, you’ll have to take down Fireballs (quite obviously). These are pesky enemies that are relatively easy to take down. But you’ll have to be strategic to avoid dying in the process. Fireballs are relatively common on all maps, and you can typically find them inside buildings.

Fireballs monitor the corridors and rooms inside buildings. My favorite maps for Fireball Burners have always been Stella Montis and Dam Battlegrounds. Buildings like the Ruby Residence in the Dam Battlegrounds are great spots. There are multiple rooms and floors, raising the chances for you to encounter a Fireball.

The Ruby Residence is also perfect for finding other valuable items like Film Reels and Frying Pans. You’ll require these trinkets to complete the Flickering Flames project.

Another great map for Fireballs is Stella Montis. Unlike Dam Battlegrounds, I couldn’t find a favorable spot. However, you can try and look in the middle of the map on the ground floor. You’ll mostly encounter them inside rooms once you open the doors.

To get the burners, you’ll need to take down the Fireballs. The easiest way to do that is to wait for them to attack with you. Their cores will be exposed when they’re trying to burn them down. Hit them a few times to destroy them and then get the Burner.

You’re going to need 10 Fireball Burners to finish one of the tasks of Level 4 of the Flickering Flames project. Committing the items will remove them from your inventory, but you’ll get 1000 Creds on the side.

ARK Survival Ascended‘s Lost Colony DLC has finally been released after a launch delay, and it brings a host of new creatures.

While the list of prehistoric creatures was already vast in the base game, Lost Colony adds to them. This guide will list all the new creatures along with their brief in-game descriptions. As always, I will add to this guide if I come across new names that are part of the DLC but not mentioned here.

Complete list of Lost Colony DLC creatures in ARK Survival Ascended

The theme of the Lost Colony DLC is pretty same as that of the base game. Some of the new creatures are straight from the books of history. Others are mutated monsters that are byproducts of the misuse of technology.

Names	Description
Aureliax	A brand new flying creature, you can use the Aureliax to destroy enemies with gravity effects.
Cryolophosaurus	Deals damage via narcotic sludge, but it can also buff your allies.
Desmodus	The Desmodus uses echolocation to target and damage enemies, and it can be a great option in areas where visibility is low.
Gigadesmodus	This massive creature is an absolute tank and also allows you to place a mobile command center on its back. This is arguably one of the best creatures to find in the Lost Colony expansion.
Gloon	The strange creature fires a laser, and it can make other creatures go into a frenzy and lose self-control.
Gargoyles	Mythical creatures that are made of stone, and they can be extremely dangerous if you aren’t careful.
Malwyn	This is the aggro version of the Veilwuyn, and offers multiple forms of attacks to take down enemies.
Neophytes	Another massive bat-type creature that can absorb a great deal of enemy damage before feeling the effects.
Ossidon	A giant primate that throws sludge balls at enemies. It can deal damage from range.
Revenants	These are corrupted remnants of Thralls and dinosaurs that have been corrupted by the liquid Edmundium.
Solwyn	Similar to Malwyn, it can use ice for different reasons, and can also be used as a mount.
Veilwyn	An Arctic Fox that can teleport (has some other handy uses as well).

Overall, I really love the different creatures that are part of the Lost Colony DLC. Vielwyn is a curious creature that comes in two other forms: Solwyn and Malwyn. There might be more forms that I haven’t discovered yet.

I have always loved gigantic creatures, and it doesn’t get any better than the Gigadesmodus, which is absolutely massive. Taming the beast is a challenge in every sense, and I will have a guide to help you do the same. While I would have loved for the DLC to have more creatures, the different types make up for the lack in quantity.
