Alpha broodmother boss fight

[Scorps75]

I have been breeding rexes and have what i thought were some pretty dam good stats, until i died in the fight yesterday.

Health = 31,000
stamina = 1200
Melee = between 800 & 1000

only have primitive saddles as not found any higher one yet.

Just me on our dedicated server went in and i shouldnt think i took a third of her health down? (only 2 on the server family)

I took 20 rexes in, they are a pain to get to an obelisk lol the path finding is sometimes funny at best lol.

any ideas? i know ive seen some use a yuti and a daedon, surely they should have been strong enough as they were though? all fully imprinted.

It is essential to have good saddles. The damage reduction is important. You want about 70+ armor minimum I would say. Also the broodmother can be a little glitch. I had a fight with one once and her hp didn't go down much... maybe 10%. I had done the beta version 2 days previous and killed it in less that 4mins. Hope this helps

[Scorps75]

im tempted to do the beta one first, i think i may grab or try and grab a yuti or two and imprint some babies to help. Ive never done a boss fight until yesterday and so not sure if she glitched a bit or not.

You might want to take a Megatherium for Broodmother. A Yuti and a Daeodon are helpfull too. Dont underestimate the buffs, they are super helpfull.

31k health isnt that much either, your stats are mediocre at best. You really need good saddles, no way around that. My Raidrexes had 60k health and more, around 2.5k stam and 1200+ melee, but that was a year ago and the bosses where nerfed since then.

Stamina is only important for your personal mount, dinos without rider dont use stamina at all.

PS: I was able to do Alpha and Beta with stock saddles, but my line was really overbred. I bought my first pair bcs i knew it would take ages to do it myself. You might wanna look into trading options yourself to get a headstart and pimp your breeding line.

iv done alpha with lower stat rexes than that, but yeah you need a good saddle, think the water caves are w here you get them. also get a yuti, ride one of those in inxtead of a rex to keep powering all the rexs up t hrough the fight and just stand behind all the other rexs. Finall y get a daedon, take that too, keep it out of the way untill really needed then put its heal on to save rexs.
so 18 rex with good saddles, 1 yuti, 1 daedon.
thats the standard boss set up

Also stam is pretty useless if you're not riding the dino they wont consume stam.

I full support this if their are only two of you have one guy on a Yuti and the other on your best Megatherium. This should help alot. If you have a Daeodon before the battle have it follow the Yuti and set to passive and to ignore wissle commands. Have the Yuk following its driver. this way he can hope off the Yuti hop on the Daeoden heal then hope back on the Yukti to keep its buffs active.

You can farm cave and underwater beacons for a higher chance of good drops. Yuti and Pig are almost a must too. Listen to Chuck, he explained how most people do it.

I tried with pigs and the difference is minimal. I rather have a rex doing damage than a pig that runs out of food for healing in 10s tops.

What to consider is it does heal, but as trade off its one less dino with 35k hp doing damage. So its only true heal when it goes beyond 35k healing.

So a 50k food pig, that does 0 damage is better than a 35k rex doing damage? Honestly dont think so.

Only way to make a difference is if you can afford 1k kibble inside the pig to get the heal going on longer.

So def does not worth.

Definitely take a yuty, that buff is huge. On a side note, megatherium are niche dino for that boss. Pretty comical with the bug killer buff. We did gamma as a test with 2 260 bred megas and a yuty. 3 dino only.

[Ghost]

Those stats are pretty low for the alpha. We just did it last night with 10 rexs almost same stats. 2 yutys for the bonus and a hell pig for healing. It was a very hard fight even with mc riot gear. And wepaons.
My trick is to get on the yuty and stay back. Use the yutys roar to keep ur dinos buffed and the hellpig over fed for the fight also held back.
I would recomend at least 15 rexs like urs for that fight.

Thanks, nice to know. I never had a Pig in my raids bcs i bought into a year old breeding line with monster stats. I can suggest that for sure, my Rexes started where OPs are ending. No joke. If you can trade into such a line ingame, do it. Its definitily worth it as long as you pay with ingame stuff ( some people do try to sell such things for real money, Paysafecards, Skins for CS or stuff like that. Thats a ripoff, dont do that ).

[Trigger Zero]

Idk, we used a daeodon for alpha. Had 1 Rex die and the rest just barely made it out alive. If we didn't have that daeo I think we would have lost most, if not all.

I've not attempted any bosses but I've researched them in preperation.

Having high tier saddles is non optional here.. primitive saddles are fine for the open world but you'll need something much better for boss battles.

Broodmother is the first one i'm going to attempt too since it's often claimed to be the easiest one.
I'll be taking some Rexes in with me but I'll also be taking in a bunch of Megatheriums (Giant Sloths)
Their bonus damage to insects makes them lethal to the Broodmother.. I've seen videos showing they output way more damage than Rexes when fighting it.
I'm also going to have a HP+Stamina focused Yutyranus screaming it's head off for the courage buff and a HP+Food focused Daeodon for healing.
I might take my Wolf pack in there too.. since the TLC update Dire Wolves are amazing ^^

That should be more than enough to take care of the Broodmother.. specially on single player.

The problem with using both megas and Rex is the Rex aoe radius will kill small spiders that the megas need to keep their buff up.

Also, I believe the megas use their special attack by default if not ridden, which is higher damage.
