How do I kill a dragon? dragon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If yoi want the easy way bring a 298 DMG shotgun a megloceros and some meglasars sleeping Dino's they can tank the damage while you sit under the dragon shooting it you take no DMG and should lose 3 sleepy Dino's we did it alpha super easy
You can tame these guys in survival of the fittest events
This is the easiest way to beat any of the 3 island bosses not only the dragon. First you need Deinonychus as many as you can bring next you need to have a rex to ride. So if you doing solo bring 1 rex and 19 deinonychus (20 tame limit)
Then once in the boss fight run around on your rex. Have the deinonychus follow you as soon as the dragon lands get some distance and whistle your deinonychus to attack the dragon. When the deinonychus run into the dragon they will block it and the dragon will not attack them. The dragon will continually walk trying to get to the rex as long as you keep your distance with the rex and have the deinonychus attacking you will take no damage and the dragon will be stuck and won’t attack. Essentially the bosses all have the same mechanics they will always attack the biggest Dino in the arena (biggest by size not level) so this essentially can be done with a rex and any Dino smaller I just use deinonychus and recommend them because of their bleed effect. And they are easy to raise
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.
I recommend at least 5-10 lv 100+ dodos but if you want a challenge 15-20 high lv rexes work to
18 Rex’s 1 yutyrannus with rider, 1 daedon with rider, rider on 1 Rex too command Rex’s attack and passive.👍🏻 That’s how I took out the dragon and manticore. Good luck😀
GUYS THE DRAGON DOES LESS DAMAGE TO HERBIVORES! USE RHINO/THERIZ!
alpha dragon is the hardest boss
honestly gave me more trouble than the king titan
if u r using therizinos(and if u r not the u r a noob) BRING VEGGIE CAKES
Do not use predators it does double damage to them.I Tips to use multiple therizinosaurus to kill it
Used a rocket for final hit and I see a freaking rag doll off the map
Deinoychus for bleed, and suprisingly ankys to tank. 21k hp on the ankys with veggie cakes, they sit so low to the ground you can park them where they won't get hit, with a high base damage.
Encountering this beast can kill carnivores way faster; for instance if you take 3 lvl 150 Tyrannosaurus Rex into battle, they will die faster. Then if you take 3 lvl 150 Tickle chickens they will probably die, but way slower. What this means? The dragon does increased damage to carnivores then herbivores.
Yell “Fus Ro Dah” as loud as possible and punch your TV where the dragons head is. Should be insta kill. If that doesn’t work start singing the Skyrim theme
Best way to do the dragon…
Transport a reaper king from annexation and use an army of either allosourases or tickle chickens, ride the reaper and lead your army around until he lands and put the army into the dragon. You can either go in with your reaper who will take reduced damage due to there natural armor or bring a yuty to boost them all. Either way it should be a fairly easy win and you should only lose a few allo’s if not any at all
Breed Rex’s kill the worst ones but ride a yewtaranus to get the buff on the Rex’s and use Rex’s because there beefy and do that you shuod be good also watch Phlinger phoo solo the ark dragon just do what he does
For gamma, I brought in a yuty, rhino, and 18 (unleveled) direwolves, yes, direwolves, the dragon ignores the direwolves the same way it does for megalosaurus and deinonychus. I brought the rhino as a backup plan and it didn't help, the dragon just focused it and it eventually died. I eventually won
For beta I brought in a bunch of incredibly leveled creatures including three stegos with 60000 health, a daeodon with 75000 health, a yuty with 100000 health, and a mammoth with 80000 health as well as all the remaining direwolves (13 total). I rode a stegos while blasting the boss with anpowerfull shotgun, The two other stegos died as well as 11 direwolves. I eventually won (P.S. I had all the direwolves named after fictional characters and the only two to survive we Peter and Lois Griffin)
For alpha, I haven't done yet, but my plan is to use a rhino that deals at least 28000 damage per fully charged hit, as well as a possible mate for the rhino (for increased damage) Another leveled yuty, another leveled daeodon, probably 10 high damage direwolves, and 6, 25000 health stegos (rest of levels into melee)
Another idea is to bring a rhino, a yuty, and 18 stegos all on separate tame ordering groups, each time the dragon lands, you send one or two stegos and tack a ton of damage on by using the rhino while the dragon is distracted, once those stegos are dead, you send the next and repeat until the dragon is dead.
These alpha ideas are quite possibly terrible so, don't lay all your trust in them
Put a deinonycus only of stamina than grab the dragon and you kill him in 4 starts
Try using theris I think they are immune to or something I just know they are good
You do not want to pump health on your Rex’s or theirs you want all melee Bc the dragons fire does percentage damage to your Dino’s and carnivores take more percentage and herbivores take less percentage damage from the fire breath so you wanna use theirs and veggie cakes are helpful with a Yuty and you should be fine and saddles don’t matter a ton but they will help from the other Dino’s and his bite attack and fireball and the fireball can kill you off your mount so run around with you Dino’s in follow and when the dragon lands whistle it and buff then when it flys off whistle follow again and repeat
My best strat was pure health daedons (passive heal) mounting a yuti and using theri’s to negate the carnivore factors
