The pale stretch of land in the southern part of Lost Ark Gold the map represents a desert biome, much like the ones found on Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, and Extinction. Like Ragnarok, this biome contains artifacts in the “Labyrinth Cave,” which is a long tunnel system consisting of deadly traps that players must avoid at all costs. The artifact waiting for players who manage to bypass these Indiana Jones-style barriers is worth the peril, as they are crucial for activating boss fights.

Lost Island also includes an Aberration zone; a weird and deadly underground world otherwise limited to the Aberration, Valguero, and Genesis 2 maps. Although Lost Island’s zone is fairly small compared to the other DLCs, it provides a spawning point for famous Aberration tames such as the Basilisk, Glowtail, and Ravager. There are also five different creatures that spawn as the Aberrant variants, including the Raptor and Carnotaurus. As the Aberration zone on this map is small, the entrance is somewhat concealed, making it hard to find without a GPS or reference video.

Above ground, Lost Island shares certain similarities with the Ragnarok and Valguero DLCs. The most noticeable thing is the smouldering volcano that can be found in the Northeast corner. Like Ragnarok, this volcanic biome covers a large area with blackened ground, decorated with lava streams and dangerous creatures. There are also two Wyvern trenches toward the Northeast region of the map, including an Ice Wyvern trench that can otherwise only be found on Valguero. Along with the Wyverns, Lost Island provides spawn points for Griffins, meaning players no longer need to go to either Ragnarok or Crystal Isles buy Gold Lost Ark to tame them.
