How do I kill a overseer? overseer battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Bring your best reaper with maxed out stats on melee and health and you win
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.
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
Have fun at the fight.
Imagine all bosses mashed up and also add a messed up artifact and some drones. Good luck
Kinda cool that you have to fight all three bosses, three times for gamma beta and then alpha. Then do it all again herr plus the overseer original form. And the minions are robots which is way cooler
I’ve just beat it as a solo pvp player I’m very proud of myself. Now you get 5 mins to get your tames into the cave I used high level shadowmanes and high level rexes. I brought 24 to the volcano I was able to get 11 into the cave before the 5 minute timer was up… I lost 2 rexes and a shadowmane on the way down from them chasing stuff into lava I got to the overseer with 5 rexes and 3 shadows I was able to beat it but was very stressful. Anyone on Xbox that wants some boss rexes or shadowmanes to breed into boss battle message me Jorditt101.
If you are trying to do this boss fight with Tek suits and shotguns you can in the actual arena, however, getting there you cannot use your Tek suit to fly through the cave over all the Dion's to get there (I just did this yesterday) you can use the super sprint with the Tek suit and with catus broth to help sneak pass most dinos, it makes it interesting. What I tried and worked is using the desmodus which is allowed to fly in caves. Sinomacrops cannot fly in this cave even tho it flys in others. Also the exo mek is able to walk through without aggroing ANY dino which was really cool.
get 2 pumps, 1k ammo and a jetpack / that jetpack shoulder pet, fly to the other side of the arena on top theres a mesh point where you can stand and shoot out but cant get hit / dmg and boom thats how u can kill him without a tame
Bring a yuti and some rexes to beat it
Your creatures will, probably, fall through a wall. I lost a drake with that. Be careful bois
Be careful of the lava on the way there! They may give your spino a water buff, but it will also kill it..
It gets really hot and really cold. Bring appropriate gear.
You gotta fight all of the other bosses all over again, and there is attack drones and defense units all over the place..
I SWEAR IF YOU'RE GOING FOR THE ALPHA DO NOT LET ANY CREATURES BE IN THE TRANSMITTERS (in obelisks, drops, ect ect) or your creatures go bye bye after the cutscene
Make sure to bring a dodo to let the dodo peck it at the end so the dodo kills it :)
You will see sights that are amazing, trust me, only it will probably last a few seconds before you fight to the death with the overgrown red implant
The overseer.. It sees over all.
Be careful when fighting this.. but not too careful
The tech cave is in the volcamo you'll need to harvest and kill a lot of alphas to get the items you need.
K guys, nothing to do with overseer but build a base at each obelisk of any map, makes life easier. Even if its just a bed for fast travel
Also if your device has good memory you could probably just download to each one to shorten travel without dropping items
Also if there is a max to how many items you can put in the terminal please make a comment
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.
for people who first played ark (and noob cheaters) heres where to find it:
After you defeat all three other bosses and get their head trophies, go to the volcano and you'll see a terminal put the heads in and a wall will open up revealing 'the tek cave' the final cave and dont forget to bring a bunch of rexes cause there is a garantied giga at the end of the cave also it's very hot and then at on part it switches to very cold then at the end theres an other terminal press e for pc and y for xbox then youll be teleported to 'the observation deck get through there looking at all the cool stuff there and then youll see an implant that's what youre going to fight

WARNING
~~~~~~~
this fight is super dangerous bring 20 rexes 2 daodons 10 theris and a yuti to ride on good luck
You can bring up to 50 creatures to this battle. I’m not referring to the tek cave, but the actual overseer battle.
Anyone notice that it looks like a player implant in it's stationary form.
Some people have said that you cant use tek at all in the overseer boss fight. That is not true. You can't use tek in the cave, but once you get to the boss fight you can. I recommend a full tek suit and tie weapons as well as tek rexes, any healer, (some of you play with mods that give other healers) and a yuty. You can swap rexes for theris but they dont get the extra armor from the tek saddle. This is a direct response to a comment i saw saying dont bother with Tel, you cant use it
Don't go into the tek cave without a tek suit if you want a reason watch any of syntacs videos when he fights thus boss
I've never seen it before but I'm getting ready for it I'm bringing my highest level yuty snow cutey,sum imprinted rexes just in case, therys also imprinted so if my ride...died I have something to ride so I don't die too HO so you might want to make a lot of sadls for at least most of them hooo thats a lot so good luck!!!!
Here’s a tip when fighting mainly focus on the seer always be moving
