Hello there and welcome to complete games with me James. Hope you guys are all doing well and I'm back with a guide on the most effective way to Gavras cementing paste. Now I'm using the island map as the example as I feel it's probably the hardest place to Gavras cementing paste. I'm currently doing my playthrough and we've reached scorched earth and I can just go out into the desert and there's lots of mantas and scorpions so I'm going to use the island map as the first example. Okay so let's start with the mortar and pestle. This is going to be the first way you're going to be able to craft cementing paste. It is a slow process and it requires quite a lot of materials. Eight stone to either four, kiting or keratin per one cementing paste. And as you can see just in order to craft twelve here it's going to take quite a bit of time and cost quite a lot of resources. As soon as you can if you can upgrade to the chemistry bench I highly recommend it not only does it craft it in seconds it also saves a third on the cost of resources so I'd argue it's even more important to get this up and running even over the industrial forge or cooker. Just turn it on and there we go. So upgrade to the chemistry bench as soon as possible you're going to be saving a third on the cost of your resources and that's going to make a great difference throughout your playthrough. You don't want to be crafting it in the mortar and pestle for too long. But other ways we can get cementing paste early game especially on the island map is via the beaver dams. Now there's five locations where the beaver dams spawn on the island map so I'm going to point them out and we'll make our way over to one of them and gather some cementing paste from one of the dams. Okay so here we are at a beaver dam if we just go inside here you can see there's plenty of cementing paste and wood but we don't want to transfer all because we're going to get over encumbered and the second we take something out as you can see the beavers are aggro in on us. They don't like us raiding their little dams just get rid of this piranha. So approach these with caution and whatever you do you don't want to transfer everything in like this because you're going to be encumbered and you're going to be stuck there but you do need to empty the dams completely. We just come over to this other dam over here you can see that I've taken some cementing paste out about half an hour ago and it doesn't spawn back so you need to empty these entirely kill the beavers and then they will spawn back. In fact it's one of my real pet hates especially on servers if you're playing on a server with other people make sure you destroy that dam don't be the person who just leaves the wood. You eat the skin off of every piece of chicken! Well I saved you out of the chicken part. The skin's the best part. Empty everything kill everything and it'll all spawn back and you can get plenty of cementing paste that way. Okay so this move on to some effective ways to gather and farm a chitin and keratin. Now I'm going to start with the artifact of the clever cave we're also known as the center cave just at the bottom of the volcano. This place has plenty of spiders and if you take yourself a saber in here you're going to gather a lot of chitin and keratin. Of course you can do this on a wolf as well and a few other dinos would be quite good in this cave but I find the saber gathers quite a lot of chitin, keratin and keratin and this one I've just grabbed so it hasn't got many levels on it yet but once you've won this cave once and got a reasonable level on your saber it's an effective way to just run in here and let's just check just right at the entrance here oh so we've got a good 500 chitin there so there's a couple of explorer notes in here if you grab them way you're on your dinos your dinos also going to benefit from the levels but yeah pump a little bit of health a little bit of melee and this cave is a great run for farming, chitin and keratin. So moving on to the swamp cave or the artifact of the immune cave this place is going to be a little bit harder to navigate you're going to need some scuba gear in order to go in here because there's a poisonous gas. Now you can craft the gas mask but unfortunately it takes absorbent substrate and that takes black pearls and on the island map black pearls are really rare you want to keep them for when you get to your tech tier every single one of them is going to count so I personally do this on scuba gear and you need almost a complete set you can wear a pair of gloves I think you might be out of wear a pair of shoes as well but the rest has to be scuba. Now we're taking the frog inside this cave I'm just going to come in the entrance here and just show you we get loads of mega loana and loads of bugs and insects and as you can see in the left hand side the frog's currently gathering cement in place for all of these insects it actually makes it as you kill all of these creatures not only that it also grabs the keratin and chitin as well so taking a well level frog into the swamp cave is an absolute fantastic way to gather some men in paste in fact all of your cement in paste worries are going to be fixed so we've just come in the front entrance here and look at that we've got over 500 cement in paste already so the swamp cave is by far the best way to gather cement in paste on a farming run and in case you didn't know you can also pick up a small dinosaur in the argentapher's beak as well as with its claws so you could call out and grab two snails only found one on this run but in order to tame the snail you're going to need veggie cakes and veggie cakes are a little bit late game you're going to need the greenhouse veggies naturally but you also need tree sap and then way to gather that on the island map is from a tapping into one of the redwood trees and you're also going to need honey so veggie cakes are definitely a later game crafting item so let's put this guy in with the rest of my snails this is my ackatina farm and as you can see I've got a few more of these guys now the great thing about the snails is they just craft cement in paste in their inventory it's called ackatina paste but it's the same thing they also craft a little bit of organic polymer and they craft ackatina paste a rate of one per minute so I've got five snails now so that's 500 every time I come in here and empty it now if you're going to pump levels into anything on these guys it may as well be food unfortunately they still require the veggie cakes in order to keep alive so as you can see I'm going to have to do that but if I pump a few levels into them get them fed up or mean I'll have to do it less over time move out the way so there you have it I've given you quite a few options there especially if you're on the island map in how you gather cement in paste now I myself am doing a complete run of arc we're going to complete the whole game and all of the DLC and I'm currently on scorched earth so we can't tame the snails out on scorched earth map but I can go out to the desert and kill plenty of mantas and scorpions and I notice while I was doing a little bit of research on this just to see if there was anything I was missing myself that the equis actually has an 80% reduction on the weight cost so I was kind of thinking it might be a good idea to tame one it has a natural mortar and pestle in its saddle and perhaps go out with a pack of wolves and I crumcrafed it as I go along so there's an option for scorched earth and something I need to be thinking about don't forget to check out my playlist for completely arc if you're interested in that run let me know in the comments if there's any other guides you'd be interested to see me make subscribe if you're new here and you'd like to see more content from myself I do plenty of other guides and as I mentioned we're currently on scorched earth in my quest to complete arc survival evolved and all of its DLC but until next time I'm James from Complete Games and I'll see you you
