ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

If ur wondering why to kill it just remember it’s the one that sends down medium crop plot blueprints in blue loot crates
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 🥹🫡
I'm going at it with my 5 lvl 100 therezinos led by my 120 rex lol this thing is cooked
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. :)
You can force tame bosses but why this one when it’s the most useless of all the bosses
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.
Don't make the same mistake as me, spinos can't fit through tek cave door like so more people know.
Everybody knows you can take this guy with a good throw using a masterball😎
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.
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
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
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! 👍
Everyone if you need too know how to play ark read this it’s my first of 7 world guides this one is about the island ( the next one is for genisis 1 and it will be on manticore boss article)
Day 1. Spawn at any zone but the foot paw is a good starter place grab a stone and hit a tree until you have 10 thatch and 1 wood at least) then craft a stone pickax then hit a rock until you have 1 flint
Then hit a tree until you have 10 thatch and 1 wood at least then learn engram stone hatchet use your lvls too get to level to learn the stone hatchet ,I advise you do then on HP or Weight you should have 1 or 2 levels by now .
Day 2. Learn engrams spear and campfire and if you can cloth clothes . Build a spear or too and find something too hunt like a dodo or dilo or lystro
Gather its hide lvl up until you lvl 10 ( lvl up from doing random things ) , then learn the bola and if you can boomerang then find a sand pile harvest it and build boomerangs and use your hide too build some bolas
Day 3. Time for your first tame!
Learn the wooden club and equip your bolas find a decent lvl parasor (45-90) and bola it use you club too knock it out! Then feed it berries mejoberries are the best berries btw it should tame in 10-35 minutes ,
And when it does go in its inventory and check its stats! They usually have hi (400-600) weight and hi HP (350-900) and low everything else so there good starter tames .now build a saddle it will take 50 fiber 80 hide and 15 wood then equip the saddle and ride your now parasor! I advise you name it Brenard it’s a classic name for a parasor .
Day 4. Time for a base . You should learn thatch base stuff( foundation , wall , doorframe , door and ceiling )
Then use mostly thatch it’s best collected with a pickax
And use wood and use fiber too make some floors (6-12) and make a even shape on a flat place then build some walls and a doorframe and a door and some ceilings(6-12) and build your base eventually upgrade it too wood .
Day 5. Your second tame . You are going too tame a iguionidon they are like less good barryonixes and have good mid game abilities,build a bola and a now club find a decent lvl parasor(35-70) iguinonidon
And bola it they fight back so hit it with the club from behind when it is asleep feed it mejoberries and every once and a while (when the purple line is under half full) feed it narcoberries (20-45) and it has hi speed , HP , weight , torpidity, food, stamina , and fortitude.
So they make great tames there saddles take the same mats ( materials) as a parasor saddle so build one and ride your iguionidon and name it Ivan plz
It can harvest lots of berries and it can turn berries into seeds!
Day 6-7. Now you will enhance your house!.
First get 65 stone and 15 hide then craft a mortar and pestle and place it in your base and then build yourself a bed too respawned on and build a few storage bins
Then fill then with random resources for the future
And put narcoberries and spoiled meat in mortar and pestle and craft narcotics then if your the hi enough lvl learn the tranq arrows and the smithy and the refining forge then build a refining forge and put all your wood in it and then hit rocks with a pickax for a long time too get metal ore cook the metal ore in the forge 2 metal ore = 1 metal inget then build a smithy and use your narcotics in the mortar and pestle too make tranq arrows with arrows and narcotics build arrows with fiber and thatch and flint and make your smithy and make a bow which cost you 15 wood and 50 fiber and equip the tranq arrows and cook all the metal you can find and put the charcoal from the forge in a storage bins Then .
Day 8-10 . You are going to gain lvls!
Learn the raft and kill stuff and harvest wood and fiber and craft rafts they give tons of XP and have at least 45 tranq arrows and a full durability bow , then go to the edge of a swamp at the near middle of the world or just anywhere around the redwoods then at a swamp find a sarco beware swamps are DANGEROUS‼️‼️‼️
So find a sarco and shoot it from ontop your tame from afar with TRANQ arrows and it will then get nocked out and you can feed it raw fish meat or prime fish meat or prime meat and then at lvl 29-46 you can learn the sarco saddle . Then go back too base and make a lot of boats and rake in lvls! Then make the sarco saddle it take 35 cementing paste and make yourself metal tools in smithy and the sarco saddle might be made in smithy and then ride your sarco they move 5 times faster in water and instantly gain stamina so find water loots crates !
Day 11-20 . Use sarco too travel to the top right corner of map at a cove with a cave in the cave enter cave on the sarco and go threw it and kill stuff and find the artifact and grab it and get loot drops on the way!
Then do more caves search the cave locations and get artifacts then tame lots of creatures and lvl then a lot then use artifacts at obilisc to enter boss fights and use 20 tames too win the boss fights .the end
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
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.
