Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Steinbjörn in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

It is the Hardest Mini Boss because of his Armor, but I used a High level Velonasaur with melee point and I took him down, an army of magmasaurs or rock golems could probably do it to, maybe a Yutyrannus can improve your chances. Up if you found helpful.

I have killed him four times without issue cryo pod an imprinted giga good stats 500ish damage 30000ish health. Also bring very good cold weather gear a tec canteen with hot water really helps and curry. Your biggest pain will be picking bear guts from your gigas teeth for hours.

Use Velos on the cliff with vines, use climbing picks or grappling hooks and if you position your velo correctly it can’t hit you. Try to bring a friend and you both have 140+ wild tamed velos with like 4k+ Stam and good melee
