Tips & Strategies
I just used all megatheriums on all the bosses and it went smooth
Alright, I’ve seen far too much poor information in these tips so I’m here to clarify.
1: Herbivores DO NOT take reduced fire damage. They only take reduced damage from the initial impact of the fireball. They will still take the full % damage from the dragon’s breath. However, veggie cakes are very useful and can help keep the heat off of your tames.
2: Tame ordering is almost mandatory for any team that isn’t comprised of player-ridden rhinos. Separate your dinos into 3 teams and don’t let more than 1 team take the same fire breath.
3: Utilize your yuty and other player-ridden mounts! Attack the side of the dragon that isn’t getting hit by the majority of your army. He should spew flames on your mount instead of hitting the main fighting force. This can allow you to tank a few more fire breaths than your army otherwise would.
Recommended tames:
*Yuty (obvious)
*Rex (always a solid option, just remember they can’t heal with cakes)
*Wooly rhino (Ridden only, do not ever ever ever bring these unridden)
*Therizino (basically a rex that can use cakes)
*Deinonychus (Only bring 2 of these, pump their melee to 600% and not further since their bleed damage is capped beyond this. Also expect them to die)
*Magmasaur (These are expensive, are a pain to breed and have a rather poor attack speed. However, they are immune to the fire breath)
*A good shotgun and 300ish shotgun shells (This will help if the dragon decides to cosplay the manticore and not land for awhile, or if your fighting force dies)
Apparently, there’s some glitch that makes the boss aggro on you instead of your tames, so if your battle creatures block the dragon so it can’t get to you, they could attack it without getting too hurt!
Boys the new method is to have 5 theriz atleast 3 manas and 2 megaloceros (Male) with 90 plus armor saddles. 20-25 cakes on all the herbivores. One megalocero goes under the dragon, the other one is for backup and the megalocero will keep the dragon distracted and will barely take any dmg. Both megalocero riders along with the theri riders have above 240 dmg pumps and the Mana riders just use their freeze attack. Everyone should have 2 sets of flak atleast. Calien soup. Btw you can shoot the dragon while on the back of the megaloceros. We had 6-7k hp on the megaloceros and put points in some weight. When the megaloceros has the dragon semi-trapped the theri riders can jump off and pump. Sometimes the megalocero rider will have the dimorphodons on it so run up to it even if it has the dragon on it you can kill them with the theri. GL Jan 2019 method I used.
Run run as fast as you can stay as far away from this jerk as possible when it uses the fire
REMEMBER, It deals extra damage to carnivores so unless you’re using deinoychus and only like 10-20, it is not a good idea to use carnivores! A good idea is to use theris instead, they’re pretty good for other bossfights too
To tame, stare at it, and use command forcetame
Try using 18 therizino's, 1 yutyrannus and 1 deaodon, the tickle chickens because the dragon does extra damage too carnivores and they are good anyway, and the yutyrannus because its roar boosts the strength of your other tames and the deaodon because it heals your other tames passively, which means your yutyrannus would be boosting the strength of your theri's and your deadon constantly healing them 24/7, making this fight decently easy depending on the difficulty.
My tribe and I used nothing but our Deinonychus'. Each 5 of us were riding one and we took Alpha Dragon down in less than 5 minutes.
Get 19 rexes with 40k health and 600 melee with mastercraft saddles. They will be used as crowd control for the dimorphs and teras. You will need a male deer with 10k health and a journeyman+ saddle. Get the deer under he dragon when it lands so it gets stuck. Have shotguns with 180+ damage to them shoot the dragon. And also, make sure you have journeyman+ tiered flak to bring in too!! 2-3 sets of armor recommended
You can tame these guys in survival of the fittest events
When I try summoning with commands, I get a dragonfly/meganeura
How to tame it step1 summon it in step2 realise you can’t tame it step3 it will kill you
How about you type in gmsummon “dragon_character_bp_tamed_c” summons dragon tamed at chosen level
I recommend at least 5-10 lv 100+ dodos but if you want a challenge 15-20 high lv rexes work to
Best way to kill it is to take out the healing orbs, place a bed and wait for it to fly close. When it does lay in the bed. The bed will then explode dealing massive damage to the dragon.
