Broodmother reward!!
I am wondering if we are ever going to get a real reward from killing the Broodmother being that it is hard to farm the Artifacts and items to be able to summon her.

I like the idea that you have to work hard and do some adventuring into deep infested caves
to get the Artifacts, and kill other dino's to farm the other parts used to summon the boos.

But what I do not like is the fact that all you get is a Flag as a reward.

That alone is what is keeping from wanting to even farm for any artifacts, now if it was to be some Legendary or even a Rare item, it can be 1 peace of a set of armor that you get from
killing the boss.

With this reward people would want to farm for the artifacts and fight the boss, woould not
be nice to just get a full set on 1 fight, or it can be at random on what peace of the set you get per drop, or even a weapon.

There are 4 different Obelisk in game, have then drop certain items that the others do not
drop, also even changing the color of the Broodmother on each Obelisk would be nice
to add into game. Having each Obelisk drop certain items will have players wanting to farm
all Obelisk's in game.

What do you guys think of this idea?

And also if you have any ideas on what the boss should drop like rare materials or things, just
give your thoughts on the matter please and lets hope that the Dev's take a look into the
boss battle reward sytem in the future.

Sounds interesting although I think that there should be a different ultimate life form at each Obelisk. Now, I have one question: four obelisks?

4 Obelisk with each having a different color, would be nice to have different bosses getting spawned from them in the future, but at least as it is now they should make the boss have different colors till future changes.

I've only ever seen the three Obelisks (Blue, Green, and Red), never a fourth.

Yes, you'll get a reward that actually plays a key role in the Quest progression of the game, this will come with the implementation of the Boss Arenas this summer :)

I'll check next I log, maybe a simple miss counting on my part lol.

Cool,

They will add more stuff like more caves and more bosses. That has priority I think over the reward. It will come eventually but I rather have them add all the bosses/content first THEN the reward.

In one of the review the dev even said a giant monkey will be one of the bosses. King Kong?=P

How do I achieve a broodmother?

You have to go one of the Obelisks (The tall spires on the map) with the required amount of Tyrannosaurus Arms, Sauropod Vertebra and Megalodon teeth as well as all six of the artifacts found in the caves. Deposit all materials in the Tribute Terminal and select Summon Broodmother.
Its actually not that hard to get all the artifacts. I can get them all in like an hour max. Not to mention the other trophies are very easy to get as well. Then again I am level 67.
I think they should make it harder to get the artifacts. They could add in mini bosses to guard them. Then it would be a challange to get all the artifacts in order to summon one of the big bosses.

This sounds good, I am playing single player atm and still would love to see this idea in game.
I like having my dino's join me in the caves and helping with mob's.
I lost my first 2 dilo's that I took the 1st time I went down, so know I am getting a small
dilo army ready to go in again :-), but having a mini boss waitting for me would make me prepare even more.

And/or make bigger caves

there is enough crap in the caves, if you find it too easy up the level of dinos and when level 100 bats are chewing on you, say its easy. My server everything goes up to 90. The only caves I can clear under 20min are two caves I can take sabertooths into.
