Mining resources is a daunting task in the game Foglock Kingdom Enshrouded, as they are usually piled up in specific locations. And one of them, obsidian, is one of the rarest resources in the world.
The challenge of finding obsidian ore
Obsidian ore is not easy to find, and if you don't know what to look for, it's hard to find it in the wild. Compared to more common resources such as iron ore and tin ore, obsidian ore occurs much less frequently. However, there are some telltale signs that can help you spot them, such as pools of black stone, but you can only find it in a few remote locations. Sometimes, these resources can also be hidden within rock walls, which requires extraordinary luck to find.
Obsidian ore farm location in Foglock Kingdom Enshrouded
In the game, there are three main locations where obsidian ore can be found, and they are all located near Nomad Highlands Ancient Spire, and there are many mining sites around this area. Here's where these locations are and how to get them:
Digging northeast of the rift: Underneath a stone arch to the northeast of the digging rift, you can find obsidian ore. You can glide west from Nomad Highlands Ancient Spire to get there. After passing through the stone arch, you will see a pool of black stone, which is where the obsidian ore is mined.
Nomad Heights Ancient Tower East: There are two adjacent farm locations in the eastern part of the Nomadic Highlands Ancient Tower where you can find obsidian ore. Glide past the north side of the ancient pagoda and you'll find a hilltop with a small hunters' camp. There, you can find not only a treasure chest, but also an obsidian ore carved into the walls. From there, you can glide south and find another similar stone arch with pools of obsidian ore underneath.
Digging skills
Mining obsidian ore is not easy. You'll need to swing your pickaxe several times to be able to dig them out. Therefore, patience and tenacity are necessary. To make this process even smoother, you can help you by unlocking specific skills, such as high-quality gear that increases the durability of your tools, stonemasonry skills that increase damage to stonework, or miner skills that get extra resources from mining. At the same time, it is very important to have a high-quality pickaxe.
