You may have to keep whistling attack this target.
its dark as hell in the cave and with all those big dinos its hard to see the boss to target it, much less try to help dps by hitting it. We think the only way to contribute dps might be grenades/rockets.
2. Most likely, they're on attack your target and are attacking an add spider that you hit on accident. Just whistle "attack this target" on Lysrix and they should focus again.
3. I like to have the deaodon and yuty ridden so the players can be 100% sure they'll use their buffs appropriately.
If you want more heals, get 2 more daeodons, but only have 1 active at a time. Their heal gets a small boost when they're in a group, but having more than 1 active at a time is a pointless waste of food.
You can also forcefeed daeodons any kibbles at lightspeed to regenerate their food if needed.
I've never actually experienced the death when teleporting thing myself, but if you're having problems with it I'd recommend sitting at the terminal before you teleport back.
Also be advised that allo pack leader bleed does not work on bosses, so if this is why you’re using allows, you may want to reconsider.
btw is it just me or does the trex roar have an agro effect? my best trex i call the king, mostly because its armor is 3xs stronger than the rest. I tried it a few times after i did by mistake and it felt like every time i roared the boss would focus on the king. Coincidence or is it a thing?
Like boomer said taming groups might help (1 for rexes, 1 for allo's and 1 for support dino's (yuti and pig)), and spread groups between your tribe members.
Even though its dark in the arena, it should still be light enough to see the big boss incase you do need to whisle your dino's back onto it.
And try to ride as many dino's as possible, they do more dps or simply work better when ridden.
It's all about managing your whisles basiclly, although when i did it solo i never had the dino's go after the adds, because i ignored the adds and burned down the boss with 16 rexes. Only lost my pigs on Alpha because i send them in to early and dint pull em back at all.
I've never noticed this before and I've never seen anything about this, but I guess it kinda makes sense.
Try it against smaller things like some random wild rex.
Last thing, the power gap between beta and alpha broodmother is pretty big. If you're losing 7 rexes against beta, you'll probably lose everything to alpha.
Run the beta until you can kill it with very few/no losses, or I'd say you're most likely going to lose to alpha.
Gamma broodmother 12 rex are usually enough with no losses (basic saddles). Beta I use 12-15 rex (40k health and 700% damage at least). Upgraded saddles highly recommended.
Alpha I've only done once. 15 rex all with master or better saddles, 60k health and 1k melee (took a lot of breeding and resources). Lost 3 rex.
More than 15 rex gets a bit too crowded around the obelisk for me. :)
Your mileage may vary.
If you're using allos for dps, but they are dying, this is a sign that you should trade them out for rexes. The only advantage allos have vs a rex in a boss fight is greater speed and manuverability. Against some of the other bosses this can matter, but against broodmother, who tends not to move around too much, it matters little. Greater base hp and damage of the rex is the order of the day.
All rexes in 1 tame group, support in another. Support on passive. Pigs (i use 2) set to heal before we go in. They don't waste food if there is nothing to heal.
As soon as fight starts I mount first dino I can find for vision, see boss, tame group 1 attack
Once rexes move out, find yuti and mount, tame group 2 follow me, stand behind rexes and spam roar.
Once buffed up I might move some rexes around behind boss so more are hitting boss but this is risky on a yuty due to low hp but if I had tribe mates I would have them on rexes herding if needed.
I do all this more out of doing a proper boss fight but I don't need healing for gamma / beta though replacing with rexes is a waste as there would be too many offensive dinos and not all would hit boss.
Never experienced dinos wandering off boss though
I've seen this if I attack any adds due to all the rex being set on Attack Target. A quick attack whistle at the boss sets them back on target.
I can't decide if "Ride the Yuti"
or
"Herding Rexes" is the better name for my Ark convention events cover band.
