Caves are wonderful places to set up camp and equip them with all kinds of defenses, and the Central Cave lets me deflect attacks with ease. If you need help finding it, here is the exact Central Cavern location in ARK Scorched Earth Ascended.
How to find hidden Central Cave in ARK Scorched Earth Ascended (Map Location)
The exact coordinates of the Central Cave are 60 and 48. Two passageways and a large gap on top serve as entry points. The first passage is found at coordinates 55.0 and 51.2, northeast of the cave by the river bank. The coordinates of the second passage are 63.4 and 43.9located southwest of the cave.

Coming from the northeast, you'll cross Jug Bugs, Mantises, and other giant insectoids that can attack if they feel provoked. On the other hand, you will meet the more peaceful Morellatopses, Parasaurs and Ankylosauruses. If you got the Tek Armor, you can use the top slot to drop with the jetpack.
Unlike the Central Cave in ARK Survival Evolved, this version of the cave allows you to build buildings without using cliff platforms. The raised rocks are perfect for turrets, while narrow passages limit the maneuverability of your attackers. The Supply Chest in the middle of the cave is a great storage option to avoid overloading.
Since the Central Cavern is right in the middle of the Scorched Earth map, you will likely be raided. Additionally, its rooms offer plenty of room to set up defenses, and the best option is to train Stegosauruses to mow down anything that wonders into your base. There is no source of water inside the cave, so water tanks are a necessity.
