Don’t try to bring the dodrex. The gamma can kill a dodorex

Use as many therizinos as you want since it does extra damage to carnivores technically since the therizino is an omnivore which means carnivore and herbivore put together so since the other half is herbivore it should block out that affect I would also recommend pumping damage and health. Thanks for using your time on my tip I hope it helps you beat the boss.

Bring Therizinos instead of Rex’s, since herbivores take reduced damage from the fire, and can eat sweet vegetable cakes to regen health quickly. Take about 17-18 theriz, 2 hell pigs, and 1 yuty as well as an OP rocket launcher or shotgun, or substitute 4 theriz for allo’s to get the bleed attack.

Deinons are the ultimate dragon fighters because of their bleed and their ability to latch onto it. I was so impressed that my Deinon is now named "Dargon" in honor of my discovery...

Just appreciate your dodo and be thankful you didn’t need forcetame

Just think: “furnace, with wings.” 👍

To kill the Dragon, bring a decent amount of 100% inprint Rex’s (maybe around 10-20) a few friends, rocket launchers and guns and you will hammer the dragon or any other boss

This thing has extremely OP fire breath, seriously roasted my Rex army alive....RIP Wrecking Crew

Everyone here talking about Rex’s this and Rex’s that is foolish. Maybe 4 Rex’s to tank a little and the rest Mut Theriz packed full of Veggie Cakes. The fire melts the Rex’s even with ascended saddles. And all our Rex’s were 35k hp+.

You can actually tame it by cheats, just spawn the boss(untamed/wild) in by using cheats and do the force tame command. You're welcome

BRING TICKLE-CHICKENS THEY EAT VEGGI CAKE+REDUCED DAMAGE

20 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Apr 10, 2024   Report

How to tame: slap it on the nose and get it a name like how they tamed dragons in httyd (not actually this is a joke making sure the noobs don’t die)

Magmasaurs are the best creature by far they are immune to the fire attack and lava. You can also breed them and make them op. 20 magmasaurs will kill the dragon on any difficulty without trouble

To whoever said this is only hard to kill on alpha difficulty and wyverns are more powerful than this: a level 1 gamma dragon has 432,000 health and deals 500 damage with its melee attack. A level 1 wyvern has 1,725 health and deals 80 damage with its melee attack.

16 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Apr 14, 2024   Report

To defeat the dragon with a single dodo you would need its melee to be around 972000 but you need the dodo to hit the dragon first and one shot it.

100 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Sep 27, 2017   Report

Use 20 decent Rex’s, a pig or two, and rocket launchers.

82 points   🔧 Utility   Jan 31, 2019   Report

FYI the fire damage is percent of health based, its not reduced by armor or levelling health. In fact, the lower the health the better tbh. Because if you have a massive health pool your pig will struggle with all the health to recover, while if you only level melee the damage done by the fire can be more easily dealt with, and youre less likely to lose rexes/therizins.

It’s actually tameable first tame a wyvern then get steroids

Only dovakiin can take this mighty beast

Can be tamed but only with forcetame on admin commands
