Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
The higher the level is (e.g. max 150) he needs higher items like Giga Heart, Alpha Mosa Tooth etc. 3x you can wait the 5min and he will spawn the mentioned animal (except water animals). The 4th time, the altar will break and the Deadmare will probably be gone.
More Dreadmare Taming & KO Tips
1. Locate demon horsy on The Center or Scorched Earth (ONLY SPAWNS AT NIGHT)
2. Kill it
3. Collect alter from lifeless corpse
4. DO NOT PLACE ALTER IN BASE! (explanation #13)
5. Place alter somewhere open
6. Summoning can ONLY TAKE PLACE AT NIGHT
7. The alter will ask for boss tributes (any alpha trophy from the current map + its RANDOM)
8. 5 minute timer to place in the required tribute
9. After each tribute is placed, the Dreadmare will be summoned and you have 3 minutes to kill it to progress taming.
10. Flys very fast in a circle and keeps its distance.
11. Best to use medium to long range weapons such as rifles and bring a Wyvern, Giga, Carch or Rex to help with fight.
12. However...if you don't feel like chasing Evil Pegasus around, you can build a trap around the alter ;) Suggest 3x3 floors around the alter and above, and 24 doorways at 2 height. Make sure there is an opening on the ceiling above alter to match the floor
13. If you do not place the required tribute within the given time, a high level dino of the given tribute will spawn. (Ex. Alter calls for Alpha Rex tooth, if the tooth isn't placed inside before time runs out an actual Alpha Rex will spawn!) keep that in mind if it ever calls for a giga heart ;)
14. Each time you miss a tribute, the alter loses health. You can miss a total of 3 tributes before the alter is destroyed and buh bye tame :(
15. Once the taming bar is at 100%, it will give you an option to tame and TADAAA! You have yourself a Horse from hell!
So, couple of things good to know.
The horses that spawn during the fight have much less health then their original counterparts.
The creature that spawns alongside it is also the same level as the horse you are taming.
Melee damage does affect the ranged attacks.
Weight affects the crypod weight.
They are also my new favourite tame
Breedable and eats spoiled meat when raising
Itβs about 6 hours on 2x to get to juvenile. They eat spoiled meat.
All tributes on the map can be asked for. Asked for sauropod vertebra on SE: summoned the titanosaur. Somehow I lived. Successfully tamed a lvl 15 π
Kill the dreadmare then it will drop an altar place it and give it a talon of somekind it can also only spawn at night and be tamed at night
I recommend having five of each type of apex drop and trophy before you try and tame one. However you donβt need any aquatic apex drops, meaning that megalodon fins, megalodon teeth, basillo blubber, alpha leedsicthys blubber, alpha mosa teeth, tuso tentacles, and alpha tuso eyes are not needed. However in the list of things that are required are the alpha apex drops (alpha raptor claws, alpha carno arms, alpha Rex teeth) plus giga hearts. The easiest way to acquire the heart would be to lure a giga or carchar into lava on the island and center. Also just to clear up something, rhino horns are not apex drops and are not necessary. They can also request trophies, so the alpha Rex skull trophy, alpha wyvern trophy, and alpha death worm trophy. The apex drops it wants will always be available on the map youβre trying to tame it on, so you donβt need to worry about collecting wyvern talons on the island or the center. On Scorched it is harder as most of the requests are one of the three wyvern talons, plus a lot of alpha death worm trophies and alpha wyvern trophies, which are pretty hard to get, so Iβd tame on the island or center.
After killing it, take altar, bring to a cliff, place with front facing outwards. That way, if you dont have the gigahearts, it will send the giga flying off the cliff
Place 5 metal gates over the alter to trap the creatures that spawn.
If you do not have the tribute, it will spawn in what itβs asking for and you have to kill it. Itβll give you credit. You only have 4 times to not have the tribute, then the Altar is destroyed.
