Artifact of the Massive

Coordinates: 70.9, 86.3

Recommend mount: Thylacoleo

Notes: In this cave you want to take every right turn until you meet the artifact at the end of the cave. This cave has titanoboas, scorpions, araneo, and the occasional arthro. Also, has anyone else somehow had dilos spawn in this cave too? You may need to break some crystals to get a Thylacoleo through some places in the cave.

Artifact of the Hunter

Coordinates: 80.0 53.5

Recommended mount: Thylacoleo, direwolf

Notes: While in this cave you need to take every left turn until you reach the artifact. This cave has titanoboas, scorpions, araneos, and sometimes arthros

Artifact of the Clever

Coordinates: 41.6, 46.5

Recommended mount: Thylacoleo, direwolf

Notes: Take every left turn you can make to get to the artifact. This cave has titanoboas, scorpions, araneos, and a pretty good amount of arthros.

The Boss Fight

Recommended Setup

Attack creatures: Megatheriums or rexes

Notes: When a megatherium kills an insect/arachnid, which is the Broodmother’s minions, they get a giant buff that increases their attack damage by a LOT.

Support creatures: 1-2 yutyrannus and 1-2 daeodons

Notes: Yutyrannus courage roar can increases attack damage by a good amount, so combined with megatherium insect buff, you can melt through the boss. Daeodons heal all Dino’s on your team mid fight. You can only bring 20 Dino’s to the fight though, so I would recommend 2 daeodons, 1 yuty, and 17 megatheriums.

(This is not needed but I’d recommend it) Put your attack creatures on a different ordering group than support creatures so that the support creatures don’t attack and possibly get killed by the boss.

Before starting the boss fight put all dinosaurs to passive so you can mount your Yuty, and this will be your mount for the boss fight.

Whistle your Dino’s on attack your target and whistle to attack the Broodmother. You and your daeodons should stay back from the boss as much as possible. The attack Dino’s will do the work.

Courage roar the megatheriums with your yuty to buff them throughout the entire fight.

(Also not needed but recommended) Bring a shotgun or assault rifle to do extra damage to the boss.

You’ve now defeated the Broodmother!

-CHICKENUGGY4

Bring 19 Megatherium and 1 Yutyrannus. Can and will kill Lysrix on any difficulty.

Replace 1 Mega with a Daeodon for more survivability.

You can bring megatheriams 2 yutys some daedons and I will reccomend some argos I picked these is because the argos can't AGGRO and do a huge amount of damage and with the yuty roar buff they can make them more stronger the megatheriams cause they get a big buff when they kill bugs and with the yuty they can be even stronger the daedons cause they can heal you and you can kill the gamma the beta and the alpha with these tips(please like this cause this is my first time posting a review)hope this was helpful

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!

For this fight, you will need to bring 19 high level megatheriums and one high level yutyrannus. You will also need good saddles and the BEST armour you can get from this fight. The entrance to the fight is the Green Obelisk Terminal, which is located at the co-ordinates, 589723. The megatheriums get an insane strength buff from killing insects. If you bring a yutyrannus to encourage them, their attack and defence will increase by 20% which is vital for fighting this boss.

The Artifact Of The Clever: 416466

Follow the path and turn left every time until you reach a water chamber, where the artifact is.

The Artifact Of The Hunter: 800535

Literally go to the left every time, jump off a little ledge and bam. You've found the artifact. (Simple as lol 😆)

The Artifact Of The Massive: 707862

There are a lot of dangerous jumps you have to make in this cave, so you are going to stick to the right, every single time, until it leads you to the artifact at the end of this cave.

You will also need 4 Tribute items:

1 Argentavis Talon

1 Sarcosuchus Skin

1 Sauropod Vertebrae

1 Titanoboa Venom

Set all dinos to passive, before entering the arena, and once you have entered the arena, immediately ride your yuty and set your dinos to attack your target. (Remember to use the courage roar from your yutyrannus, in order to buff your megatheriums!)

Once you have defeated a boss, you will unlock tekgrams for tek construction and you will unlock 25% of the tek armour.

And also, remember to store your alpha/beta trophy safely, because you will need that later, for the overseer boss.

Stop saying to bring rexs, megatheriums are the optimal Dino for this fight. 17 megatheriums, 2 daedons, and a yuty should be able to take down Alpha Broodmother with low casualties. (With good stats of course)

I'm going in with 6-7 megatheriums 9 bears and a daedon I'm midgame wish me luck

So I’m going for my first ever run on the Brood I’m taking 10 Rex 2 Uty Rex 3 Deodons and 5 Megatheriums all over 200 lvl I should be ok I hope ! I think I have covered all the bases ! Rex Tanks and Dan UtyRex constant Agro Buff The Megas get the Insect buff and the Deos heal everyone ! Feel free to leave feedback I’m nervous lol

In order to defeat the Broodmother u have to take in mind evey aspect of the fight, so I recommend always going for gamma first, just so you know what to expect, never underestimatw the Broodmother, its one of the bosses and way stronger than ANY wild dino. A yutirannus is very helpfull for buffing your team, if u can ALWAYS take a tribemate that is around your level, some dinos are way better when being ridden. I personally suggest a pack of high level deynonichuses (only on Valguero) with high health and stamina, because they can jump and cling on to the Broodmother to constantly do bleed damage at the cost of stamina, while also being able to bite it. All the dinos other people recommend are good, but make sure u have the basics : a bunch of high damage high health dinos, a creature with the ability to buff allies, and 1-2 healers, and some of your personal picks :) Good luck survivor !
