Forglar is what a premium mod should be. Totally worth the $10. It's my favorite map on the cluster I play on. I like having all the biomes and all the dinos on one map. Snowy Train is also coming out with Atlantis at the end of the year which appears to be a water map. I can't wait.
I was looking for a map with all biomes and also wyverns cause I can’t access scorched it keeps crashing . Just bought the map can’t wait to try it ! Also are there death worms in desert biome on this map ?
No problem! I did see that they are making a new map, can't wait to see what they do with it! Will be great, the ocean never really gets enough love in this game!
@@meldraghart svarthalfheim has over 20 caves, cool variants and so much new stuff apart from the base game, even custom Boss fights, the only thing boring in svarthalfheim is Spawn points
It's the best premium mod map out there in my opinion, I also do believe it is 100% complete now, the final biome was added right after I released the video XD
I do really like this map and the dev behind it , the only thing that bugs me is stuff in alot of places just looks stuck together to make something new. Like rocks or thhing stuck together on odd ways that just looks like someone went wild in the editor sticking stuff upside down and backwards till it looked like something new. Id like it if some of that was refined a bit better but it is a cool map. Also if the biomes could be less hard line divided zones and flow more naturally together would be great
Yep! I'm very excited about this map, can't wait for the new biome and I do hope that more stuff does keep getting added, the developers are very active and are always releasing frequent new updates :D
The updates are frequent and slow to install. That said, I like this map. I bought it. I'm happy with the purchase. Like you said, attention to detail is so evident. You can tell when people love what they do, and these devs love this map..
I’ll echo other folks sentiments as well, thank you soooo much for making these videos, for sure smashing like and subscribe. I retired from Ark to play other games, also not happy with WC as most others. But these new maps look really good. Again thank you, and I’m with you as well, 10$ for good maps like this is definitely worth it. Modders are more than welcome to my donations.
This map looks awesome! I really hope WC (or partners...) won't mess up Ragnarok like the Center. Vulcano Island is just not it and most of the map just looks the same. maybe we should let all these map modders partner up and revamp the ASE maps... haha
Looks so much nicer than anything that Wildcard has come up with for Ascended. The snow biome actually looks like a snow biome and the lava biome doesn't look like a jungle. All the soil isn't reddish brown either. Really well done. I hope Wildcard considers getting these guys to handle the revamp of Crystal Isles. It's my favourite map and I think they could do it justice.
Thank you! Did you have any luck with the download after? I sometimes would get that with other mods, usually had to keep trying and restarting my game to get it to download. I have an RTX 4070 and Intel I7-12700k, 64gb RAM. I have a more powerful PC but this is the one i'm currently using as it has all of my stuff on it XD
The thing is for a cluster to work every player would have to own the map. Not all your tribemates/friends are spending $10 for this so it just ruins the multiplayer gameplay for everyone.
Seems cool but I really don't find that treehouse village good looking... It's just like on ASE Caballus, unneeded and takes space where ppl could be doing their own treehouses. I do love the bridges...
I can see why some wouldn't like it tbh, but you can still attach tree platforms below and above the huts on the same tree so doesn't really take up too much space!
I'm loving the map to be honest! Sadly no exclusive map creatures, Scorched Earth DLC creatures spawn, Ceratosaurus, Xiphactinus, Pyromane and all those types of creatures!
@@BEYPlaysGames lol I'd so much rather spend my money on content creators then wild card. I'm one of the ones that feels like I've spent a small fortune on them and we won't discuss what they gave us. Family channel and all. 😁
A great looking map with cool landscapes amd landmarks. My only issue is that it kinda runs like shit and the desert biome, specifically the dunes sections looks quite bad.
I have to disagree, the copy and pasting and importing of structures aint my cup of tea, the map needs alot or work to reduce the patters and copy n paste features, while it looks okay, it definitely feels rushed and nowhere near the quality it could be
It's beautiful. Sadly will never ever pay for a Mod under any circumstance unless it was deemed as a Official released like Center, Rag etc (Which always released Free anyways so...) This is a perfect example of why I always said this Premium, pay for mod, system is a blight on the gaming industry.
The Free version only includes half of the map so maybe about 40%. I'd probably say Forglar's premium version adds a lot more than most of the Premium mod maps out there, so many new biomes, lots of artifact caves, bosses and mini bosses. Temptress Lagoon free version is pretty good if you're looking for a free map to play!
@@BEYPlaysGames ya it's more something to play/ explore before the next map update drops.... Already paid for my two slots so can't deactivate my extra.
So I'm new to mods being a PlayStation player. Is there like an official-esque conversion of this map where I can just join a lobby of others online or does it have to be single player with friends added or something like that?
Hi it looks like there are x1 Na region and x1 Eu region, official cross platform servers for Forglar but you will need to have the map purchased in your account to play them. There might be unofficial servers running it too.
is it possible to play the map as part of a cluster or is it not possible because it is a DLC you have to buy. So if I buy the DLC, are there some of the maps that are clusters where people who haven't bought the DLC play the normal maps and just can't access this map?
I will admit I haven't been able to try that, I don't see why not but I can't clarify it sorry! I would say that would be the case though if they don't own the map!
None of these maps are worth 10$ until they are finished. Even then I'm not paying 10$ for a mod. I will say forglar would be the only one I would pay for
@@johnhussey4539 anti meshing galore lol the map isn’t completed , I think they have half a year or so to go on finishing of it but Omega is amazing Enclave needs some bugs fixed for official map, Survive the night is a lot of fun too lol I found the rivers on the Folgar map was causing me antimesh problems but the map is so unique, lots of pvp and I’m currently looking the Temptress Lagoon and that one’s not done but aimed for mid 2025 lol
Yep, they spawn in the lava biome! Actually surprised I didn't catch any in my shots but then again the Lava biome was a small section! They are pretty common spawns there just like the Center's lava island!
So if I'm running a private dedicated server, do I have to buy the map once for the server or does every player joining the server have to buy thr map? And even if I just have to buy it for the server, how do I buy it then when the server is running with an anonymous steamCMD login?
@@BEYPlaysGames thanks. ✌️ anonymous login can be used if you want to host your own deficated server, for example at home. I run mine on my old gaming PC. We mostly play with just 2 or 4 people on it, so I don't noeed a Nitrado server for that. With SteamCMD and anonymous login, you can run a server without having to buy the game again. There' an official guide to this.
I'm not entirely sure but just going off what I could see when I scouted it before making the video it seems with the free version: No bosses, No mini bosses, only a small portion of a snow biome, no desert biome, no lava biome, no fantasy biome which therefore means less artifact caves. Probably only 30% of the map is playable as opposed to the paid version!
I wish I could tell you but honestly I'm unsure as I don't have it on console yet! I'm surprised you get kicked out of the Center and Scorched frequently though, my wife can play both of those maps fine on her Series S, that is on a Nitrado server though so not sure if that effects it at all :(
@@BEYPlaysGames I'm on single player - I've heard the S does better when playing on a server. I did download the free map - and really like it. So far no crashes but early game tends to run better than late game. Thanks for your videos and your response.
I rented a server with this map and when I try to fly to some areas to see the map my game crashes :( I have a good pc so I don’t know why this happens
@@BEYPlaysGames nah just this map, I lowered some settings and fixed it, you should make a video about where to find Dino’s and stuff on this map I started playing it and it’s hard to find some
Go to the mods section when on the main menu and search for it there, that's where you can buy it, then you'll be able to start a single player world or you can add it to a rented Nitrado server for example!
You mean Titanosaur? Or boss titans? I will have to check with the Titanosaur, I cannot remember seeing one but it was a month since I made this video XD
It looks great but wtf..i bought and installed an it dident show up in my installed mods..so restarted an it now does,but it still wont show up in playable arks or mod arks...sombody plz help im on ps5..i just paid arou d 15 Canadian dollers😢
Did it end up working in the end? My wife plays Xbox and can't say we've encountered that before, I'm away from my computer for 2 days so I can't even check the game right now, Fingers crossed you got it working!
@@BEYPlaysGames i did, and lovin it so far! Also how i got it to work was uninstalled it,then when i reinstalled it i stayed on that exact page till it finished,now it shows up under mod arks an works like a charm.
@@mikearcher24 Oh okay! I have noticed that even with PC when downloading mods if you leave the page every mod seems to corrupt itself! Glad you got it working!
I just wish I had a quantum computer to play ascended 😂 my i9-13000k, nvidia 3070, and 96 gigs of ddr5 can only handle it on low. I had to uninstall it and stick with evolved. I AK excited to see what modders do with the future of ascended and hope WC optimizes it better soon
@@austinstoner6270 I can run it with everything on Max but it can still get a tad framey when in large bases for example. I have an I9-14900, RTX 4080 and 64gb Ram
@BEYPlaysGames damn you got the setup. The i9-13000k and i9-14000k are neck and neck in everything with the exception of overclocking. Your gpu kills mine. That's crazy that we can't play a.gd game with 10k dollar systems. I'm going to get a 4070 super after Xmas when they price falls down. Hope that'll be enough to max the game out. After of course they optimize it 🙄
@@austinstoner6270 Haha I think it will be fine with a GPU upgrade i'm sure, I have an RTX 4060 and a I7-12700, 64gb Ram on my other computer and it can still handle the game on high and epic settings!
I probably would if the map was official but sadly i'm so far behind on videos i'm trying to edit right now so I don't think i'd get the time but there is the ark wiki page that shows most of the cave locations here, hope that helps! ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Mod:Forglar/Explorer_Map
It looks fantastic and well worth the money, my only concern is the snow biome and being compared to the murder snow on Ragarnok. Love the weather conditions in each biome though.
Yeah it's pretty brutal, I do honestly do love the freezing cold temperature but I didn't think it would be everyone's cuppa tea. I don't think I've seen the temperature in the snow above -40 degrees! XD
@@BEYPlaysGames might be an idea for devs to allow a setting to disable the heavy snow temp. end of day, just need massive fortitude if u wanna play there, plenty other areas to go to.
Really? How? If you try downloading it be sure to stay on the same screen as the download page, I found if i backed out of that it always ruined my download! If not, just keep trying! It downloaded fine for my wife on Xbox and for me on Steam!
@@Bixpick Yeah I get that all the time, I usually just uninstall it and reinstall leaving the game there to do it and it works! You can also try going into the game files and delete the folder then reinstall from there!
I'm honestly unsure about how it works on the few official servers that are running but I don't see why not if you're playing on an unofficial cluster of servers that include the map!
I think it's fair if you are wanting a new adventure in ARK, new update just got added which almost has the map at 100% complete, a lot of work has gone into these maps and the full complete ones like Svartalfheim and Forglar are amazing maps to play!
you’re getting all the content from the original game for free, this is content that wasn’t a part of the original game, so you don’t get it for free. Simple. Just because you bought the beta version of Ark doesn’t entitle you to all future paid mods & DLC 😭 Forglar is for sure worth the money
I will respectfully disagree. Mods are completely separate to what you pay for in regards to the base game and they are nothing to do with the Wildcard devs (for the most part) so it's all optional anyway. I'll admit I will probably never buy Modded dinos but maps like this are great and tbh back in the day in ASE all the newer story map instalments that released all costed money to be able to play so if there are modders making complete maps like Forglar i'm happy to pay for them...There isn't many on the market though, I'd say Svartalfheim premium is the only other map that is worthy of the price tag when it comes to mod maps!
this map is a compllete eye sore that looks like somone flopped it together as far as the landscape, looks completely impossible landscape wise, fantasy style is fine but this map just looks dumb to me, abberationa nd gen 2 are good examples of fantasy but still look good. cant belive this costs 10$
@@paintballmonkey666 That's fair enough, not everyone will like the style I guess! I will not disagree with Aberration being the perfection of a fantasy map!
Anyone who complains about the price of these mod maps needs to realise its hundreds of hours of work and they are charging the same as 1 chicken mcnugget meal from mcdonalds for hours of fun. 😂

Forglar is what a premium mod should be. Totally worth the $10. It's my favorite map on the cluster I play on. I like having all the biomes and all the dinos on one map. Snowy Train is also coming out with Atlantis at the end of the year which appears to be a water map. I can't wait.
I do love the map! I did see that in the Discord! I really hope so, would be cool to have a water map!!

Great review thanks. Been thinking about getting this map anyways.
Thank you! No problem! :)
I’ve been playing and having a blast. Still looks good on my medium and low settings
I bought it today and plan to play it with primal chaos for the first time
Thanks for the great review!
No problem! :)
This map is so massive I've gone so far and haven't seen a quarter of it yet.
I do really like this map and the dev behind it , the only thing that bugs me is stuff in alot of places just looks stuck together to make something new. Like rocks or thhing stuck together on odd ways that just looks like someone went wild in the editor sticking stuff upside down and backwards till it looked like something new. Id like it if some of that was refined a bit better but it is a cool map. Also if the biomes could be less hard line divided zones and flow more naturally together would be great

That jungle with the houses built round trees and bridges connecting looks like where the tribe lived from the ark animated series
I love this map I just wish someone would artifact cave location video
WOOOW!, I was totally caught off gaurd the map is great!
The thing that has me excited about modded maps such as these, they'll more than likely get updated with new stuff after every map dlc that gets added

By far the most creative map, I actually paid £8 on console I have PC but Ps5 is alot better in terms of optimization.

Best mod map. ❤
It's a great map to enjoy ark if you'd like to play a more end game style map with awesome extras, Rhyniognathas spawn here, Oasis and pyromane too
I agree! It's great, I did notice Rhyniognatha spawn more frequently than other maps XD...Pyromane actually feels like it belongs on this map too!
I dont like fact that all those premium maps are still unfinished.
It has plenty mesh spots that kill you just from walking or swimming which reallybsux
this is ark (not the map ) anti mesh issue unfortunately hope they fix it soon
@winterZmusic yeah it is ark but it's significantly worse on forglar
No real ocean biome yet, just the borders. Hope they add it soon
the only downside to the premium versions are that if you own a cluster everyone has to buy it to play it
Any plans to make a loot table video for Forglar?
Maybe at some point! I've still got a lot of videos i'm trying to get finished which I should have finished months ago XD
I love the mod maps that are coming to ASA, but I honestly don't think any mod should be paid until it is finished.

I do agree, hoping it will get changed so that it flows with the scenery outside of the world barrier, looks like it's floating or something XD
its a shame that no one plays the map, all the unofficel and modded servers are empty
Svartalfheim is advertised at $10, but actually cost $12 with tax. But that still only came out as £9.40 on my statement. Did you get taxed twice?
I'm not sure tbh, I'd have to check my statement, I noticed it only cost like £8.50 on the Xbox for my wife so if that's the case I got done over XD

I wish I could tell you but honestly I'm unsure as I don't have it on console yet! I'm surprised you get kicked out of the Center and Scorched frequently though, my wife can play both of those maps fine on her Series S, that is on a Nitrado server though so not sure if that effects it at all :(
@@BEYPlaysGames I'm on single player - I've heard the S does better when playing on a server. I did download the free map - and really like it. So far no crashes but early game tends to run better than late game. Thanks for your videos and your response.
Is it really better than Svartfelheim?
I like things about both but tbh I'd say Svarftelfheim is better as a whole!
I rented a server with this map and when I try to fly to some areas to see the map my game crashes :( I have a good pc so I don’t know why this happens
Really? Does it happen on other maps?
@@BEYPlaysGames nah just this map, I lowered some settings and fixed it, you should make a video about where to find Dino’s and stuff on this map I started playing it and it’s hard to find some
Can you use these maps on a paid server like nitrado?
Yes you can!
So if I want to buy/play the map how do I do that? Never played a mod map before
Go to the mods section when on the main menu and search for it there, that's where you can buy it, then you'll be able to start a single player world or you can add it to a rented Nitrado server for example!
@@BEYPlaysGames perfect thanks!
ark forglar maewings Cords ?
I'm pretty sure Maewings don't spawn on the map! Or i am missing something XD
is there titans on this map??
You mean Titanosaur? Or boss titans? I will have to check with the Titanosaur, I cannot remember seeing one but it was a month since I made this video XD
So this map isn't part of official servers i guess.
Sadly not!
It looks great but wtf..i bought and installed an it dident show up in my installed mods..so restarted an it now does,but it still wont show up in playable arks or mod arks...sombody plz help im on ps5..i just paid arou d 15 Canadian dollers😢
Did it end up working in the end? My wife plays Xbox and can't say we've encountered that before, I'm away from my computer for 2 days so I can't even check the game right now, Fingers crossed you got it working!
@@BEYPlaysGames i did, and lovin it so far! Also how i got it to work was uninstalled it,then when i reinstalled it i stayed on that exact page till it finished,now it shows up under mod arks an works like a charm.
@@mikearcher24 Oh okay! I have noticed that even with PC when downloading mods if you leave the page every mod seems to corrupt itself! Glad you got it working!
I just wish I had a quantum computer to play ascended 😂 my i9-13000k, nvidia 3070, and 96 gigs of ddr5 can only handle it on low. I had to uninstall it and stick with evolved. I AK excited to see what modders do with the future of ascended and hope WC optimizes it better soon
Yeah it's crazy what specs you need to run this game on high and epic settings :(...I hope so too!
@BEYPlaysGames what are your specs and can you run it well on max?
@@austinstoner6270 I can run it with everything on Max but it can still get a tad framey when in large bases for example. I have an I9-14900, RTX 4080 and 64gb Ram
@BEYPlaysGames damn you got the setup. The i9-13000k and i9-14000k are neck and neck in everything with the exception of overclocking. Your gpu kills mine. That's crazy that we can't play a.gd game with 10k dollar systems. I'm going to get a 4070 super after Xmas when they price falls down. Hope that'll be enough to max the game out. After of course they optimize it 🙄
@@austinstoner6270 Haha I think it will be fine with a GPU upgrade i'm sure, I have an RTX 4060 and a I7-12700, 64gb Ram on my other computer and it can still handle the game on high and epic settings!
Does anyone know a list of creatures
What did you want to know? Pretty much all vanilla creatures and Scorched Earth ones will spawn in the desert!
100% worth every penny.
Are there wyverns?
Just watch the vid nerd
@@jakeeames725 Are you okay brother? 🤣 7:39
Do my friends need to Buy It as well? Nd server
Yes they will, anyone who wants to play it will have to buy it to be able to play!
@@BEYPlaysGames 😒thank you for answering
This map looks so amateurish...and no map should ever be released as premium unless it's 100% complete.
Go on.. show us how it's done then. Make a Map 100% and charge realisticly for your time..
100% worth the $10
Can you do a video on all the cave locations? Will be much appreciated.
I probably would if the map was official but sadly i'm so far behind on videos i'm trying to edit right now so I don't think i'd get the time but there is the ark wiki page that shows most of the cave locations here, hope that helps! ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Mod:Forglar/Explorer_Map
@@BEYPlaysGames ok thanks for the link
Is this official servers?
Nah it's a mod map!
My bad! I take it back, Yep there is actually official servers to play! 4 official servers in total, 2 PVP and 2 PVE each having an EU and NA server!
How run on ps5 ?
Good
It looks fantastic and well worth the money, my only concern is the snow biome and being compared to the murder snow on Ragarnok. Love the weather conditions in each biome though.
Yeah it's pretty brutal, I do honestly do love the freezing cold temperature but I didn't think it would be everyone's cuppa tea. I don't think I've seen the temperature in the snow above -40 degrees! XD
@@BEYPlaysGames might be an idea for devs to allow a setting to disable the heavy snow temp. end of day, just need massive fortitude if u wanna play there, plenty other areas to go to.
It doesnt even download for me.
Really? How? If you try downloading it be sure to stay on the same screen as the download page, I found if i backed out of that it always ruined my download! If not, just keep trying! It downloaded fine for my wife on Xbox and for me on Steam!
@@BEYPlaysGames it kept saying file broken. I couldn’t understand why, but i’ll try your suggestion when i get back from my vacation.
@@Bixpick Yeah I get that all the time, I usually just uninstall it and reinstall leaving the game there to do it and it works! You can also try going into the game files and delete the folder then reinstall from there!
Can I transfer to this map?
I'm honestly unsure about how it works on the few official servers that are running but I don't see why not if you're playing on an unofficial cluster of servers that include the map!
@@BEYPlaysGames well I’ll try it out and let you know.
@@BEYPlaysGames it did work unfortunately
@@MichaelAkers-rl9rd Thanks for letting me know! Which type of server did you try transferring to and from? Was it official?
@@BEYPlaysGames it was official, yes. From the NA- island
10 bucks for a map is ridiculous
I think it's fair if you are wanting a new adventure in ARK, new update just got added which almost has the map at 100% complete, a lot of work has gone into these maps and the full complete ones like Svartalfheim and Forglar are amazing maps to play!
No. Nothing in this game is worth money. Everything should be free to those who bought the original.
you’re getting all the content from the original game for free, this is content that wasn’t a part of the original game, so you don’t get it for free. Simple. Just because you bought the beta version of Ark doesn’t entitle you to all future paid mods & DLC 😭 Forglar is for sure worth the money
I will respectfully disagree. Mods are completely separate to what you pay for in regards to the base game and they are nothing to do with the Wildcard devs (for the most part) so it's all optional anyway. I'll admit I will probably never buy Modded dinos but maps like this are great and tbh back in the day in ASE all the newer story map instalments that released all costed money to be able to play so if there are modders making complete maps like Forglar i'm happy to pay for them...There isn't many on the market though, I'd say Svartalfheim premium is the only other map that is worthy of the price tag when it comes to mod maps!
this map is a compllete eye sore that looks like somone flopped it together as far as the landscape, looks completely impossible landscape wise, fantasy style is fine but this map just looks dumb to me, abberationa nd gen 2 are good examples of fantasy but still look good.
cant belive this costs 10$
looks liek someone messed aroud with the terrain manipulator from No Mans Sky... adding and removing random parts of the landscape with a sphere tool
@@paintballmonkey666 That's fair enough, not everyone will like the style I guess! I will not disagree with Aberration being the perfection of a fantasy map!
Anyone who complains about the price of these mod maps needs to realise its hundreds of hours of work and they are charging the same as 1 chicken mcnugget meal from mcdonalds for hours of fun. 😂
Lol, true words.
🤣 Well said!
