ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
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!
Breedable and eats spoiled meat when raising
I recommend having five of each type of apex drop and trophy before you try and tame one. However you don’t 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 you’re trying to tame it on, so you don’t 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 I’d tame on the island or center.
It’s 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 😐
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
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 it’s asking for and you have to kill it. It’ll give you credit. You only have 4 times to not have the tribute, then the Altar is destroyed.

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
Prepare a lot of tributes! If you alreafy have the altar, place it in the start of the night 20:40 or ealy, cuz in the morning taming stops and continues the next night.If you can find a peacefull spot to place it near your base or bring the tributes with you. DON'T put it in your base, cuz it can summon a giga if you don't have enough hearts!!!! GL guys!
They spawn on centre and scorched earth. You find it in the wild at night and kill it. Once killed they drop an alter, you place the alter at night it will ask for a tribute (those used for boss fights).
If you have the tribute for example thyla claw it will then spawn again to which you kill it and it will ask for another tribute this can range from sarco skin to giga heart and even alpha tributes such as alpha T-Rex tooth.
If you do not have the tribute it will spawn after a 5 minute time but this will cause damage to the alter. You have 3 failures allowed and the 4th will destroy the alter and the dreadmare will be gone.
Hope this helps

Just keep killing just keep killing
So far what I earnt about the creature:
- Find one in the wild, kill it and it drops an altar.(Must be night)
-Place the altar and start summoning.(Must be night)
-To summon you need to have the chosen tributes.
-If you dont have that tribute then wait until the countdown ends and it will still summon the dreadmare AND that creature that should have been tributed.(For me it was alpha deathworm so be careful)
-If you succesfully kill them then you pass but the altar gets damaged because you did not have tribute.(Total hp is 5000 for the altar) When missing 1 tribute it gets 1255 dmg fore at least)
-If in the meantime the sun comes up then it looks like it gets paused until the next night. This is where i'am right now. Gl.
Tips: i did not built a trap for the summoning area but will be helpful. If you want to go straightforward without preparing an area then i recommend fire wyvern. And thylacoleo in case of alpha deathworm.
Easiest way, use gene scanner to locate. You will have to kill it and it will drop an altar, which you can place.
Once the altar is placed at night you will be able to make an offering (which will be creature tributes on the map you are on)
Then you summon it and have to kill it. Repeat this process, for higher levels you will need to do this multiple times. Failure to offer the tribute in time will cause it to spawn alongside the creature relating to what was requested. For example if a Giga heart is required, failure will spawn a Giga. 3+ failures and the altar will be destroyed. One you have completed the ritual, it will spawn tamed. Good luck!
Have tributes and trophies ready.
They come out only at night and you must kill them. Once dead, take the alter from their body and set it up. It will ask for a random tribute. Rinse and repeat.
Makes sure you have all tributes to feed it!!!!
Use pyros and stego, two easy toys the last is serius
