More Overseer Encountering Tips
If ur wondering why to kill it just remember it’s the one that sends down medium crop plot blueprints in blue loot crates
4th July 2025, I beat Alpha Overseer on single player settings.
12 Therizinos (21k HP, 1840% melee, primitive saddles),
8 Rexes with varying stats from 25-60k HP and 1000-2000% melee and ascendant saddles (250–320 armor), they had about 5 mutations… one Yuty, and a Daeodon (which died early).
I wore full Tek armor and used a shotgun (388%) with 1,000 shells and a longneck rifle. Didn’t need it really though. I also brought 500 med brews, food, and soups for heat and cold. Shadowsteak too. Actually helped a bit in the tek cave.
Even though my game dropped to 3 frames at times, the fight was quite easy. The Overseer is easier than expected if you’re prepared. I suggest keeping some of your dinos far back on passive so you can rotate them in fresh for the final phases. Space them out during the Dragon phase to avoid taking too much fire damage if you can.
Im going in alpha with an army of two of every species on the island. Pls up this feat took iver 400 hours of the game. Wish me luck and hope my lil dodo gerald dosent die 🥹🫡
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.
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
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.
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!
Don't make the same mistake as me, spinos can't fit through tek cave door like so more people know.
