It doesn’t take long playingPaleo Pinesto realise just how big a world you’re dealing with - the game has three very large areas to explore, each filled with resources to find and dinosaurs to befriend. As the stars of the show, the dinosaurs are obviously the most important features here.

Whereas Veridian Valley is open to you from the very start of the game and the Dapplewood is quite easy to get to within your first week if you try hard enough, Ariacotta Canyon, the third area, is quite a bit tougher to reach. You’ll need to consider reaching the desert a long-term goal.
How To Reach Ariacotta Archway
Before you may even try to get to the desert, you’ll first need to unblock the path to the entrance. This will require that youbreak open some large brown rocksand thenslash away some very large bushes. These obstacles are located to the east of your ranch, on the edge of Veridian Valley.
The area behind the brown rocks is a sandy one with some Triceratops ambling about, and through this area, you’ll find thebushesyou need to destroy.
You’ll need dinosaurs with theSmasherandSlasherskills to deal with the boulders and bushes, respectively. The table below displays your options:
Centrosaurus
Therizinosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Stegosaurus,
Once you have Helpers with these skills, you’ll be able to clear the way to… abroken archway. Examine this, and you’ll speak to someone on the other side - this will begin thequestto clear the way.
