Tips & Strategies
They spawn on extinction. Click that arrow to the sky so the devs can show it in maps.
You can skip tributes if you do not have the right one but BEWARE! If it asks for a giga heart while taming a 150 dreadmare and you do not have it, it will spawn a 150 giga.
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!
Taming a 150 on x2 official center.
Genuinly asked for 6/21 megalania venom. It can and will ask for the same thing over and over again so beware. And ark always knows which thing you are low on or missing!
These can be found on Extinction in the wasteland.
Breedable and eats spoiled meat when raising
They are on Extinction in the southern part of the wasteland between the Sulfur fields and the desert dome
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 😐
It’s about 6 hours on 2x to get to juvenile. They eat spoiled meat.
I’ve seen one in extinction but it was glitch and had no collision and couldn’t take damage I didn’t know what was happening
Love the new pic
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.
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
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
Don’t know about anyone else but my first encounter was TOUGH. Prim pump and slightly better than prim flak was not enough. Broke my armor instantly. And tried attacking it with an argy my second try but it backs up way to fast and I couldn’t even hit it.
WARNING! Cannot use Daedon to raise dreadmare. Had it next to wyvern and it still starved.
Place 5 metal gates over the alter to trap the creatures that spawn.
