What are tips for broodmother lysrix? Tips and strategies for broodmother lysrix in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
In ARK MOBILE dungeons you will need shotguns, specifically blueprinted ones, rifles, launchers, two sets of armor or more, and TONS OF AMMO. Maybe cutlasses or blueprinted swords.
Entered alpha brood with 16 rexes:
45k hp, 800-900% dmg and 112armor saddle
1 yuty 35k hp standard 25sadle and 3k stamina.
All died at Lysrix 30% hp
Gg wp... should have taken a deodon with me...
All the metal on the sadles as a solo player make me want to cry...
Megatheriums are the way to go.You should bring a Yuty to every boss fight . Deadons are also recommended but not necessary, and also use good armor and saddles for all bosses.
Don't try to tame, It ends bad
If you want a really strong tank tame or just to scare your enemies that are afraid of spiders, forcetame the Bloodmother!
When i first fought lystrix, i was over paranoid about how strong she'd be, so i bred and tamed 5 spinos, and 5 rexes. It was an absolute pain to get them to an obelisk, but when it came to the battle, it only lasted around 5-7 seconds. Might have been my settings, might have been my choice of dinos.
Did gamma today with 4 tamed megatherium's. Honey tamed between levels 135 and 150, 15K hp each and they didn't even lose half their hp.
I was on single player, did all the official work necessary to face the alpha version. Just to make it interesting I spawned a lvl 1500 rex.... she still took it down. R.I.P. Rexy.
Attacks: Poison spray, swipe with left leg, swipe with right leg, webs, and can summon araneos (high levels!!!).
How to defeat: There are 3 armies of dinos you can bring to battle, and here they are: First army: About 6-10 rexes (tek or regular), a yuty, and a daeodon. Second army: about 2-4 packs of allos, a yuty, and a daeodon. Last army: A BUNCH of theris, a yuty, and a daeodon. Make sure all of the creatures are high level!!! Good Luck!!!
Use forcetame it it's biggest weakness
if you run up to it and high five it in the face he will be good friends with you and will fight by your side forever until they grow old and die in a retirement home
Commonly the first guardian people fight (due to the artifact requirements), the broodmother is far from the easiest, with the highest health pool out of the island bosses, though less dps, this big ol spider is either super easy or a terrifying beast which can wipe out armies with ease, so, as someone who’s defeated it, here’s some tips to ensure you too can claim the alpha broodmothers head.
With almost a million hp, the alpha broodmother is meant to be fought with high level, mutated and imprinted Dino’s. The most optimal choice is megatheriums, with relatively cheap saddles, common spawns and their extremely powerful bug rage, allowing them to take less damage and deal far more, making them the best option for this fight. By simply having them harvest one of the spider minions, they become monstrously powerful. I’d suggest about 20-25k hp on each of them, with 1k melee aswell, saddles should be anywhere between journeyman and ascendant. If you want an extra level of safety, add about 5 veggie cakes to each of them, though it is quite expensive. Bring along a yuty with high stamina to boost the megatheriums even further. The boss is coded to target the largest tame in the arena, so it’ll try to target the yuty over the others until attacked, allowing the Megas to get in some early damage. Your goal is to keep the brood stuck, if she managed to get loose, your dps will be reduced greatly.
Another way to fight the boss is with theris, using the same stats as the megas. Rexs are good too, but due to being larger then a yuty and being carnivorous, they not only are targeted instantly when entering the arena, but can’t get extra healing from veggie cakes.
Recommend equipment:
Ascendant armor (riot or flak)
Ascendant pump shotgun (if you lose your tames)
Medbrews galore (if you get damaged too much while running from it, specifically if you’ve lost all your mounts)
Dino stats:
20-25k hp, for easier leveling get 60 points of natural stats through mutations before leveling.
1k melee, same points before leveling as hp.
Saddles:
Journeymen or higher, 60+ armor preferably.
Color with cool combos for style points.
Misc: the broodmother is the only one of the guardian bosses to have an open world variant, found in the spider cave entrance on valguero.
This should all be enough on SINGLEPLAYER SETTINGS, for multiplayer stats, preferably use something else, these are for difficulty 1 in single player on ark survival evolved.
Good luck, survivor, you’ll need it!
I'm doing this on alpha. My megatheriums have 30k health and 800 damage (19 megatheriums 1 yuty) wish me luck
Use megatheriums for the boost when they kill bugs
Just use rexes leveled from the Megapithecus fight. Way less time consuming that losing your mind attempting to find high level Megatheriums.
