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

Bring small to medium size Boss fighters, they can get under da dragon, avoiding damage, fire breaths, knockback, ALL of It while maintaining DPS and a Stanley position.
I'll give u some examples:
Megalossaurus
Megaloceros
Hyaenodon
D.Wolf
Raptors
Equus
D.Bears
Shadowmanes(ASE)
Deinonychus
T.Birds
Sarcos
Deinosuchus(ASA)
Chalicotherium.
Basically anything small-medium wich can hit da lizzard, Pulmonoscorpius struggle with actually getting connections.
But make sure they are on a ACTUAL BOSS FIGHTING LEVEL , STATS AND GEAR, also heals, Just in case, better safe than sorry.

You gotta watch out for his dragon balls at all times when this thing is flying. You will demount and painfully die. Also watch where you are going when riding Deino otherwise you will go off limits and die in void. So many ways to die in here find your own favorite.
Also enough with this taming bs
I heard this in the wooly rhino section and it said “bring these fat rhinos and you’ll easily win” so idk if it’s true cuz i play on mobile but I’m still submitting the tip cuz why not.
In Gen2's Mission "Survive The Ark" You can buy this lil' guy with 10,00 Gauntlet points. not hexagons. And HE ACTUALLY MOVES! Unlike When you spawn and forcetame this guy. Because he doesent move otherwise and i love that it moves in a mission! Just wanted to say that

Dragons are op and strong if you don’t know
This dude is very very strong.
Try bring terror birds in big numbers with attack damage and speed upgraded they might die but they worked well for me as they have +35 armour piercing
Use a therazino... Even better a pack he dose extra damage to herbavores therazinos are herbavores and have good damage to boot
The dragon is the 3red hardest boss you will want to level mostly dmg and about 10-15k Hp
PUNCH IT IN ITS STUFF AND SHOW IT WHOS BOSS
Just get like 15-20 high lvl imprinted rex's and let them do the work, u may have to whistle attack target.
Our rexes had 80k HP and 6k% damage which is 2k per bite. We had lost 3 of rexes. Beta Dragon.
The Dragon isn't the only thing you should worry about. The dimorphos will kill you off your mount if you don't have a good armor. It is better to bring a lot of people to mount rexes, as about 2 out of 3 rexes died in lava. They just stand in lava and bite the Dragon. Reaper could be good if you have one(for killing dimorphos), but prepare to lose it - Dragon ignores its natural armor. Good luck, survivors.
How do you force tame? I’m honestly asking.
The dragon is easy to tame on ps4 all you need to do is pres options and pres at the same time l1 r1 triangle and square and x then get on dodex and go on admin camnd
Just bring a few decent level dodos and you’ll be good
