How do I kill a overseer? overseer battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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 🥹🫡
If ur wondering why to kill it just remember it’s the one that sends down medium crop plot blueprints in blue loot crates
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.
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
If u want 2 kill it just know he put metal irrigation pipe blueprints in purple drops.
Ummmmmmm so I died
…. A lot
…plz help me I’m mentally unstable
Dododex missed a few commands. For the emotes, do GFI Emote_Flex(or whatever you want) 1 1 0. Emotes are, Turkey, Flex, Snowball, Happy, Carol, Evil, and Nutcracker. Also! For unlocking every Explorer Note in one map, do GiveAllExplorerNotes. Thanks for reading! 🙌
If you want to fight it your going to need at least 5-10 people and 4-20 tek T-Rex's. and bring a really good gun.
Stop saying You can force tame it i’m trying to play the game on solo and stop saying you need 5 to 10 people cause you don’t. And stop saying you can force tame it is not helping anyone at all and you could all say I’m being mean but this is supposed to be help full to other people not saying you could force tame it and my your saying that because your bad at the game. If you really want to does this boss right just use a lot of things for every boss that comes out because no one is saying that you could Bring 50 things not 20 like all the other bosses.
At first glance this diamond shaped boss seems harmless until the fight begins. But why is this boss a diamond? What’s the point of this boss? Why is it a diamond shape? Well thats what I’m here to talk about! So let’s get into it!
As we all know, this is the final boss of the island, as well as the only ticket to ascension upon beating it. So what might we not know? Some people are just there for the win, however some dig deep for answers, but to understand this boss you must consider why the boss is there in the first place. And it’s name “overseer” is also a way of classifying “one who over sees the rest”, having this in mind it’s job and reasoning for being there is quite simple. But why does it do this? The ARK’s themselves (to simplify, think of them as realistic environment’s orbiting in space, with a self generated atmosphere, running into the barrier of the map is basically running into the atmosphere/forcefield also preventing leaving) cannot watch every survivor’s actions, hence why the overseer is there in the first place. Now knowing this let’s consider what is considered an action worth “punishment” by the Arks standards.
Being punished by an ark is no walk in the park, corruption, and trying to cheat the way through arks are considered punishment worthy. But why wasn’t Rockwell, or nerva punished? Since Arks are they’re own thing, we can assume they have some standards of which they draw the line. So let’s discuss this! -in case I run out of text be sure to search for the rest!- since nobody was really punished in this ark, we have to dig deep to find out why. And one theory I have is that the Arks would rather not interfere with functioning tribes. This would make sense as Nerva had a tribe, and Rockwell documented jumping from tribe to tribe. And during this time Rockwell wasn’t as corrupt as he was, therefore wasn’t punishment worthy. Nerva worked his way to power, so no reasonable way of punishment would be necessary. So now let’s talk about it’s soul purpose of being there.
So why is he there? We discussed one reason why, but it has another way more important task, upon fighting it it usually takes the shape of a diamond very similar to the obelisk diamond. This would mean either the overseer is a well respected unit by the Arks, or the Arks made it as this is the most common shape Arks use. Or both. Anyways, after a bit of fighting it then takes the shape of the 3 bosses fought previously to get here. Why does it do this? It does this to challenge the survivor, it’s soul purpose, it’s there to determine if the survivor is truly ready to ascend, and upon beating him, it dissolves out of existence, before summoning itself back in wait of the next survivor. Upon defeating it, the Ark gets you to ascend, to scorched earth.
I need single player help with this thing.
Try your best not to get hit with the lasers I have faith in you
Do not fight alpha without a full suit of tek. Just FYI - the helmet allows you to breathe under water, as well as gives you night vision and allows you to see nearby creatures through walls. The chest piece allows you to do a burst jump (double tap jump), fly (hold jump) and hover (press sprint). The tek leggings allow you to go incredibly fast and run on water, the boots absorb fall damage and allow you to run at angles, ad the gauntlets have a super punch. You can use the super speed as a combo of the hover or fly mode, allowing you to go light speed in the air. Hover also allows you to go very fast underwater. Harness all abilities, and you should be fine.
I feel like instead of the overseer it should be 20 different varieties of gigas and if you don’t first kill other gigas before the experimental giga the will all fuse together to form a giga with over 200000000999000000hp and the damage is insane and to tame it you must kill it or show you usefulness and you can only kill it with a snail lvl1 and it must be accompanied by a scream chicken ,healing pig to kill it and it only spawns in bases
Prepare to be moving, a lot! The Overseer summons little drones that consistently fire at the player, and not your mount. Combined with the persistent cold, your health will drain, fast. Bring MasterCraft to Ascendant fur armour, maybe even Tek if you have it.
As for battling, it's a long process. the Overseer has phases where it is undamagable, and will periodically fire beams out that stun you + your mount. you'll know when it's in this state when it has a shield and is making odd pulsating noises. (trust me- you'll know when you hear it.)
When not in it's immortal stage, the boss will switch between the other boss' forms you've already killed (Dragon, Broodmother, Megapithicus.) and you will have to kill those forms. It has an idle (Idk if that's the correct word) where you can damage the overseer itself. The phases will then repeat until it is killed.
For the tames I personally recommend, I'd say Therizinosaurs, Rexes (if you can manage getting them through the cave, they have a turning radius like a badly tuned truck,) a good Yutyrannus, Ive even seen some people being Spinos, or a Daeodon or two if you're willing to micromanage your food supply. You can bring up to fifty tames into the cave, (if I'm not mistaken.)
Good luck, Survivor!
Use 18 lvl 250 therizinosaurus whit min 20k hp and 1500% damage make sure everyone has 20 veggie cakes and a 150 armor saddle.And you schuld hav a lvl 300 yutyrannus whit min 30k hp and a saddle whit 100 armor and the last thing a deadon whit min 25k hp and min 50k food and a saddle whit min 100 armor

Imagine all bosses mashed up and also add a messed up artifact and some drones. Good luck
