The Island in ARK Survival Ascended is no stranger to challenges, from the harsh environment and extreme weather to the menacing dinosaurs that roam the land. However, where all players are truly tested is when they confront the formidable bosses that stand in their way, and The Broodmother is one such boss.
If you're prepared to take on this prehistoric arachnid, then we've got you covered. Below, we'll provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to locate, unlock, and, of course, defeat the Broodmother boss in ARK Survival Ascended, allowing you to claim the rewards that await you upon its defeat.
Broodmother Boss Location And Artifact Requirements in ARK Survival Ascended
The Green Obelisk, located on the eastern side of the Island, serves as the gateway to the Broodmother boss fight and is highly visible when simply you look in that direction. To unlock the Broodmother boss arena at the Obelisk, you must present three artifacts: the Artifact of the Clever, the Massive, and the Hunter.
If you need some help finding them, check out our Artifact location guide for help. Once these artifacts are offered, the Gamma Broodmother Portal becomes activatable, transporting you to the Broodmother's boss arena to commence the fight.
How To Beat The Broodmother Boss in ARK Survival Ascended
Now, let's delve into the Broodmother boss encounter, starting with some recommendations. First and foremost, let's discuss the creatures you should bring along. Begin with three or more Yutyrannus, as their courage roar ability, and overall strong stats make them one of, if not the most, valuable creatures for tackling boss fights like the Megapithecus or the Dragon.
Following that, we suggest including Megatheriums for their Insect Killer buff, and a T-Rex, as Rex Rushing proves to be an effective strategy for almost any boss due to their high health and damage output. After securing these, you can decide on additional dinosaurs to accompany you, although we managed to complete the fight without any extra dinosaurs.
In terms of equipment, we utilized metallic armor and a shotgun to inflict additional damage, although the primary damage will be dealt with by the dinosaurs. It's advisable to bring consumables like Chilli, Stew, or Cooked meat for their health restoration properties and movement speed buffs, which can be beneficial in avoiding the Araneos summoned by the Broodmother. Now, let's move on to the actual boss fight and some tips.
Broodmother Boss Fight Tips
Fighting a Broodmother doesn't require much strategy, similar to the Megapithecus boss; usually, directing all your dinos to attack is sufficient. However, it's crucial to stay alert if you're not on a dino, as the Broodmother can shoot webs that slow down targets.
Upon teleporting into the arena, you'll be dismounted, but you can quickly mount again. If you're in a tribe, encircle the Broodmother with your dinos. If solo, tag the boss to signal your dinos to attack.
Success in this boss battle hinges largely on the tames and saddles you bring. While firearms might not be your primary choice, it's advisable to have them as a last resort for safety. The Shotgun, with its wide spread, is particularly effective against Araneos.
To summarize, follow these guidelines: encircle the Broodmother with your dinos, tend to heal needs for both you and your allies, and contribute damage until she is defeated.
Broodmother Boss Rewards
After successfully defeating the Broodmother, you will receive valuable rewards as a recognition of your efforts. It's important to mention that the Broodmother comes in three difficulty levels: Gamma, Beta, and Alpha, each associated with its unique set of rewards.
The basic form, Gamma, can be summoned using Artifacts, while the other two require specific Tributes for access. When you're prepared to confront the Broodmother's alternate forms and unlock more specialized rewards, refer to our guide on all Tribute locations in Ark Survival Ascended for the necessary information.
These rewards are particularly significant as they include Tekgram blueprints, crucial for crafting Tek items, representing the pinnacle of sophistication in the game.
