Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a dreadmare? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a dreadmare.
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
They demand amonite bile on Astraeos, pls add this to the list!!
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 😐
DO NOT knock it out. Glitches the dreadmare and makes it so it doesnt eat and you cant go in its inventory when tamed.
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.
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!
First you got to feed it about 5 dollars before taming
Ceratospine is also 1 of the needed trophys. Please add
While taming 145 the alter asked for a cera venom spine twice
If you can stand close to the side of a cliff face it is 100x easier to kill as the dread will not fly in circles and will usually come closer to you and get stuck on the cliff side.
Place 5 metal gates over the alter to trap the creatures that spawn.
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.
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
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
IMPORTANT: if it asks for a sauropod vertebrae, get it or it spawns a goddamn titanosaur. Me and my friend figured this out the hard way
If you are playing on a server that allows for creatures from other arks to be transferred in, then by far the best way to kill it is with Reaper kings as their tail Projectiles knock it from the sky and force it to land. Awesome for with either Killing Wild dreadmares To get their alter or during the Taming process
Will kill the wild version of it then you will either have the alter in your Dino’s inventory or you have to access it’s inventory to gain the alter (do not place this in your base) you will then have to offer it things like talons and gigahearts then you will kill the horse the alter spawns and the taming progress will go up
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.
