What are tips for dragon? Tips and strategies for dragon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Just appreciate your dodo and be thankful you didn’t need forcetame
This fight is bull there's a bug that his breath weapon can hit you EVEN IF YOUR RIDING A PYROMANE I can walk through lava but not get hit by dragon fire thanks ark
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
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+.
BRING TICKLE-CHICKENS THEY EAT VEGGI CAKE+REDUCED DAMAGE
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.
Apologies, just realized I’m a dunce, anyway, on my tip, I said stop giving Theris hp after 25k, I should’ve put like 60-80k, sorry for my screwup

How to slay a dragon? Follow these easy steps and you too can have a dragon’s head on your wall!
Step One: You gotta do some artifact hunting. The fight requires Cunning, Immune, Skylord, and Strong, coords are as follows: Cunning: 46.0, 88.2, BRING AN UNDERWATER TAME!!! Immune: 62.6, 37.2, you need a gas mask or you're dead. Skylord: 19.3, 19.0, no tames allowed for this one. Strong: 29.4, 32.0, this is the hardest cave in the game, your best bet is to bring a high level Yuty(at least level 135 when it was wild), make sure you have full flak and guns on you, this ain’t easy.
Step Two(ONLY APPLIES FOR BETA AND ALPHA): Apex Drops. These are pretty self-explanatory, just get up on a glorious murder machine(I recommend Carchas, except for the gigas), the drops are 5 Allo Brains, 5 Basilo Blubber, 1 Giga Heart, 5 Tuso Tentacles, 5 Rex Arms, and 5 Yuty Lungs, this is for Beta, for Alpha, double these, except Rex Arms, you need 15 for Alpha.
Step Three: Who to bring? This set of creatures will be able to take out Alpha Dragon decently well, bring 18 well leveled Theris, put ALL their points into health(stop at 20-25K), and put the rest into Melee, do not take a Theri below level 225 into this fight, and give them all at least 2 sweet veggie cakes. Your other 2 slots will be for support, bring a Yuty(level into health and stamina), none below level 200, DO NOT USE IT TO ATTACK, the Dragon does triple damage to carnivores with its bite. Your other slot can be another Theri(if you have ASE and hate mods for some reason), otherwise, this slot should be filled by a male Deinotherium, IT MUST BE MALE. Males give an attack buff, and females give defense, and it stacks with Yuty’s buff. They all need saddles with at least 60 armor points.
Step Four: The Fight. After yeeting the artifacts and apex drops at the Red Obelisk Terminal, you and your army are in the dragon’s arena, and it’s hot(make sure to bring something to negate the heat), and look to the sky, and hooway you found the dragon, now here’s the Strat: make sure you are on the Yuty or the Deinotherium, whistle your army to passive, and the dragon will summon hostile dimorphodons and pteranodons, use your mount to kill them. The dragon will shoot easy to dodge fireballs at you, make sure your army is following you, or they’re gonna get nuked. Once the dragon lands, let it come to you, the lava rivers are what ruin most fights. Once you don’t have to cross magma to get to the dragon, immediately whistle your army to attack my target. Your army will maul the dragon, and if you are on the Yuty, spam courage roar, if ur on Deinotherium, use the buff roar, and go maul the dragon, ENSURE YOUR YUTY IS ON PASSIVE AND AUTO COURAGE, if not it’ll run to bite the dragon’s knees, and the dragon will eat it. On the Deino, you can actually fight the dragon. The millisecond the dragon starts flying, whistle passive, so ur tames stay in this life. Watch out for the dragon’s fire breath, it takes away 20% of any tame’s hp. Rinse and repeat, and bam, the dragon is dead. Now you too can thrill the ladies with an authentic Dragon Head(at least until Tek Cave)
Dragon Hp:
Gamma: 432k
Beta: 864k
Alpha: 1.26M
Hope this helps! -Scorchfire
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)
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.
Only dovakiin can take this mighty beast
Why not just try hug the dragon to be yours if I was a dragon I would like a hug besides what’s it going to do
I know everyone uses tickle chickens but if you have gen 2 i recommend VERY good shadowmanes i used them with a very good yuty and absolutely destroyed the dragon because if you have a male and a ton of females the mate and pack boost plus the shadowmanes buff roar and yuty roar mine were dealing around 2.5k dmg a hit!
whack it
