Heres a tip FOR ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING YOU CAN FORCETAME IT IN THE ARENA- if u go into the bosses arena and forcetame it.... you'll be stuck there forever bc the boss gotta die in order for u to leave. :)

Definitely my favourite and most memorable battle, I used a dire wolf pack of about 6, a Rex, two spinos, three theriz, an argent, and I rode on the back of a Yuty. Did this in single player without the help of my Ark buddies 👍🏻 These were all very high level dinos btw

This boss isn't really that hard. You can go in with assault rifles and riot gear and beat the boss with 7-10 players. Bring a ton of bullets and healing brews because the defense units do a good amount of damage. Rockets will take out the overseer super quick. Also bring fur gear because it gets cold in some parts. 3 sets of everything are a must in fighting the boss and units. Thank you.

When you over prepare and bring 12 tek rexes

Can be fought after ascending in the alpha tech cave. Bring long range weapons and take out the minions first for they will kick you off your mount.

Let's be honest, if this thing was tameable u can bet your narcos Wild Card would have made it a passive tame 😒😒

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret; this boss wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the tek cave! If you don’t know what the tek cave is, allow me to educate you! The tek cave is a cave accessible with tribute items (on gamma, it’s the three guardian trophies, on any other difficulty, it’s those plus some other trophies like alpha tuso eyes) and is found in the crater of the volcano. The levels of the creatures in this cave are really high, like, 710+ high! The creatures in the tek cave include arthropleura, purlovia, microraptor, giganotosaurus (with the exception of gamma) and more! Sounds hard, right? Well, not if you’re resourceful! This cave also has a bunch of lava, once you’ve got a pool of lava between you and an enemy, Fire a bullet and the creature usually swims right in! The lava can also be dangerous, easily weakening your Overseer army which is no fun. I recommend putting all your dinos in a massive Congo line! Get on top of your first dino, whistle follow one to the second, get on the second and whistle follow one to number three. Repeat that until all the dinos just kinda follow each other like a duck and babies!

And there you have it! The tek cave but just a little bit easier! Good luck, hope this helps!

Easy, just shoot a million tranqs and find out you can’t tame it

16 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Jan 16, 2025   Report

Don't make the same mistake as me, spinos can't fit through tek cave door like so more people know.

This boss is the strongest boss on the island map especially in alpha difficulty, so you are going to have to be equipped very well. You will have to gain a bunch of mutations on your dinosaurs, so they can survive this battle this is coming. This battle is the final battle you will do on the island, before ascending from it. The overseer cave (sometimes referred to as the tek cave) is at the volcano.

Tek Terminal: 428390

It will be very hot in the first part of the cave, but very cold in the actual arena itself, so you are going to bring two types of armoured gear (prefably the ghille armour  and the fur armour) and two types of soup (calien soup for hot temperatures and fria curry for cold temperatures) in order to work with the temperature.

To play in beta difficulty, you need to have:

1 Alpha Carno Arm

1 Alpha Raptor claw

1 Alpha Tyrannosaur tooth

1 Beta Broodmother Trophy

1 Beta Dragon Trophy

1 Beta Megapithecus Trophy

In the cave, there are powerful a$$ dinos that are inside the cave. The creatures there have a level of 500 on just difficulty one. But just as if the heat and the high level dinos aren't enough, you also have to be cautious of wild gigas roaming the area too. This is why it is important to bring dinos with good mutation stats to this very dangerous place. Use every gun, weapons and brimstone you and your tames have to fire on those creatures, especially the gigas. Remember to take it SLOW though, no rush.

Once you have teleported to the arena, you start fighting the boss. The boss will spawn plenty of attack drones and defence units. Try focus on killing these first, so that they don't overwhelm you and start killing everything. The overseer starts in its own form  which looks like that specimen implant in your arm, and has a shield around it, meaning that it can't be attacked. It is also able to shapeshift into any of the three bosses you have defeated. The megapitchecus, the broodmother and the dragon. When it shapeshifts to the dragon, you will need to use the same method you did when you defeated the dragon. It will then return back to its original form and project a shield around itself. It will then start shooting lasers across the arena. You do not want this laser to hit you. The lasers will dismount you off of your dino if it hits you, and prevent you from moving for a few seconds, so you need to hide behind pillars to avoid this. The boss does this attack, every time you defeat one of its forms.

Survive the attack, use your yutyrannus to buff everything and apart from that, I wish you good luck on beating it! 👍

Btw guys you can get this guy out of the arena as forcetamed. Same with all bosses. Here’s how:

1: forcetame the boss

2: crypod the boss

3: bring an argentavis and put the cryopod in its inventory

4: fly The argie up high and dismount it

5: let the minions kill you

6: respawn and go back into the fight

7: kill the boss and get out with the cryopoded boss in your argie

Smart, right?

You can't tame it it's a boss! Why you even here? Go to Encountering

136 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Dec 3, 2020   Report

It is a computer who made the ark and its bosses. Therefore, it had all of the bosses permanently uploaded into their own file in its memory bank. It also needs is more powerful then each of the bosses, but then take that power and ADD IT TO EACH OF THE BOSSES POWER. It will take on all 3 bosses forms while in battle. The gamma turns into all 3 gamma bosses and then itself, the beta turns into all 3 beta bosses and then itself, and likewise with the alpha. Pretty cool, Bc u have to battle each of the bosses again to prove that u r worthy, although they now have tek minions to fight for them.

This is the thing that gives a compass blueprint in green drops

And resources in white drops

Plus medium crop plot in blue drops

Apprentice parasaur saddles in purple drops

Useless gun attachments in yellow drops

And finally a literal dog BOOTY saddle in RED DROPS

Kill it

Pls

If you play on an Xbox or play station be sure after you beat it you get all of your stuff on a Dino or you’ll lose it. I know, no one will ever truly understand wild card

Bring a gun and hope

You can force tame bosses but why this one when it’s the most useless of all the bosses
