I’m bring y’all another round of tips since there’s plenty of more bad information on how to fight broodmother.
1: Megatheriums should not be used en masse against anything higher than gamma. Unridden megatheriums are terrible at killing the little spiders. Because of this, most of the megatheriums will not receive the insect killer buff and as such will rapidly die.
2: Despite dropping less element, the Broodmother is far more difficult than the monkey. Additionally depending on your skill at manipulating your unridden tames, she can actually be harder than the Dragon too (assuming you aren’t cheesing her.)
3: Speaking of cheese, you can make alpha brood no harder than killing a dodo. You’ll need a kangaroo, a few good shotguns, and a couple hundred shotgun shells. When you first enter her arena, hop onto your kangaroo and jump up onto the mushroom attached to the pillar in the middle of the arena. If you manage to make it up, then congrats. She is now completely unable to hit you and you can shoot her over and over until she dies. You can even bring a friend in your kangaroo’s pouch to make her die faster! You may want to learn how to accurately jump onto the mushroom in single player before attempting it in multiplayer.
Recommended tames;
*Yuty (obvious)
*Megatherium (ridden or a small amount controlled separately from the main fighters by another player.)
*Rex (still the best overall boss fight filler dino)
*Deinonychus (bring a mate boosted pair. Level their melee no further than 600% and after that only level health on them as their bleed damage caps. Expect them to die but they will be free damage until then)
*Rhino (ridden only, you may be better off on a megatherium but if you have these bred for killing the Dragon then they’ll do just fine here)
*Procoptodon (cheese mushroom strats only)
*Stegos (these are rather interesting, if you bring stegos make people ride them and just have those people shotgun her instead of attacking with the stegos. The stegos are so tanky and with their 50% damage reduction in hardened plate mode, imprint damage reduction and veggie cakes they will just take endless amounts of punishment from her.)
