Running this one back, because I beat it again. July 2nd 2025, here’s how I beat the dragon on alpha single player settings. Also, it was on Evolved. Not Ascended.

19 theris, 1 yuty. My yuty took almost no damage, but it had 50k health, 3k stam and about 950% melee. All primitive saddles excluding one, which was a 230 theri saddle. My theris had 21.8k health and 1840% melee with 1-3 cakes. 4 theris died, some took almost no damage, some were left on about 4-7k health.

I spent about 40 in game days running the swamp cave for a theri blueprint, and all I got was that one saddle. So I ran it with primitive.

For the caves, I used a bary with 10k health and 1400% melee not imprinted for the swamp cave, 2 imprinted rexes 35k health and 1300% melee for the hard ice cave, a damn good shotgun for the small ice cave, and a 50k health 1200% melee tuso for the hard water cave.

When I loaded into the arena, I had already couraged the theris as you should. I whistled them to the open area, while I stayed on my yuty and shot at the dragon as it flew. It shot a fireball at me, so I moved with my yuty as that damages the rider. Then, it landed quite early. It didn’t even summon its pteras or dimorphs. The dragon landed by the monuments, and I let it walk over to me. It was locked onto my yuty which was terrifying, and it landed one fire attack on it which did about 10k damage alone. Fire damage is insane on the dragon. My theris managed to surround it through some whistling to attack, and then moving to either side before whistling attack again.

It was a scary fight, and I had to be slightly more on top of coursing than I actually was, but I managed it. I was shooting with a shotgun and rifle periodically but I hardly did anything. Should’ve focused on couraging more.

I hope I was able to help you with my second experience. If you want to know what I’d prefer to do better, more veggie cakes probably. 4 each. And I chose to go in with primitive saddles, but if you can, it’s much better to get a better saddle blueprint and crafting skill them all.

Good luck.

If you spawn this guy, he can’t turn for some reason. I don’t know why but up so more people can see.

Take a deinonychus with 10k+ health, 600+ Melee, 80+ saddle and good stamina for a easy win

I just used all megatheriums on all the bosses and it went smooth

With eny fire or lightning or things like that breatheing Dino’s including the dragon can breathe whatever they breathe Into water!you simply pop the head underwater(ONLY THE HEAD)and blow!-DJ Fox7222

Pls add all of e dragons the mobile, and animals

Spread the word

! ! DO NOT FIGHT THE DRAGON WITH CARNIVORES ! ! The dragon does extra damage to carnivore dinosaurs, it's best to take a bunch of Therizinosaurs

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.

Deinonychus are the best Dinos to kill the Dragon Gamma thru Alpha as he will never even touch them. Bring a Yuty and Med Brews and it should be over quick

You can use admin to spawn and X variant!!!!

There is a simple way to defeat the dragon , simply tame megalosaurs and breed them till u have good attack and stamina , wait until the day is near ending then attempt the raid with 1 yutyrannus and 19 megalosaurs , while fighting it must be night , due to an special effect of megalosaur they cant be noticed during night , so the dragon will only aggro at the yuty youre riding , the only tricky thing is after the dragon lands and want to come after you , you should let megalosaurs come between you and the dragon , dragon will get stuck on megalosaurs while the aggro is towards you so it wont attack megalosaurs and only trys to get to you , although you should deal with the minions yourself and be wary of the lava flowing under your feet ( megalosaurs might go in the lava and kill themselves )

Good luck with your dragon slaying 🐉

Im not sure if its a glitch but i havnt been able to harvest the element when i fight it on rag

BEWARE! This boss does a lot of DPS, And Damage over time. I did him on Alpha with my 40k health, 1k melee, Therizinos. I brought 17 of them with a Yuty and a Pig I thought I was prepared but we barely won, only the Yuty survived and 8 of the Therizinos lived and they barely had 2k health. If you think you are prepared, prepare more. It’s a miracle I won.

Run run as fast as you can stay as far away from this jerk as possible when it uses the fire

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!

You can tame these guys in survival of the fittest events

Watch some youtube videos before going in. Got one shotted by the dragon's fireball. Ironically, my xbox glitched about 10 minutes after returing to grab my argy at red ob, completely reset to right before I entered 😂🙌🏻 Got my second chance at redemption and beat it. Just make sure you understand the mechanics of the fight and don't get stuck in all of your dinos. I used 19 theris and 1 yuty.

If you’re crazy like me and spawn this in and force tame it, you can make it move and fly by making it use its bite attack, to do so if you’re on Xbox press down on the right joystick, and it then will be able to move! And fly!, flying is the same as any other flyer by pressing A,

By the way to get it to turn because sometimes it only goes in a straight line you must get off and on again if it doesn’t work repeat and it should be fixed, I hope this helped atleast someone lol.

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.

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)
