Zahlea Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Reading a thread by DJRone89, I loved the great feedback. I'm always looking to find recommendations for dinos to take on bosses. So - I thought I'd try to collect some recommendations into one thread for easier lookup. Stealing Cran3s' answer, I'm starting my list. Please do come with your own suggestions, and with sufficient support, I will edit them into this post. What is needed is: Dino type and for each dino type: number of dinos of this type, minimum health, minimum melee and minimum recommended armour on the saddle. NOTE: Obviously, how well you handle your dinos plays a huge part in this, so have that in mind when going for the bosses - maybe even look at videos of others taking on the bosses to know what to do. This is meant to be a ballpark figure of what to aim at before attempting the bosses and scaled for a solo player - more players means more leeway for errors or lower stats.

DarthaNyan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 For Every boss, every difficulty mode except aberration: 18 tickle chickens with 21k hp(exactly) and the rest in melee filled with cakes + 1 yuty + 1 daeodon. If they dont work for you - learn how to control them better with whistles, or they just need more melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And should they not exceed 21khp? What would you say the yuty and daeodon should have as minimum stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthaNyan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 1 hour ago, Zahlea said: And should they not exceed 21khp? reason for 21hp exactly is to maximize healing from cakes (absolute numbers). It helps when fighting Dragon. If you have less - then boss' normal attacks will do more damage (in terms of % of max HP) and that means you will be able to sustain less, if you have more than 21k hp then Dragon's fire breath will greatly outpace your (now) less efficient healing which means less sustain as well. 21k exactly is a sweet spot for Theriz. Yuty can be even tamed one as it shouldnt engage in direct melee (but you can do so for extra dps if it is bred and imprinted and you keep your Theriz buffs up). Healpig will need as much in food stat as possible and follow your Yuty to, again, mitigate Dragon's Fire Breath damage (Dragon is more likely to aggro on Yuty if you constantly roar). In case of 2 players - one can ride Daeodon and keep Therizinos topped up on HP as well. If you have more players - either ride chickens (except versus The Center monkey) or stay at distance and shoot w/e weapons you have for extra dps. As for melee requirement: @invincibleqc @Olivar can provide way more details. Or you can browse this thread for information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivar Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Small addendum to what @DarthaNyan wrote : We (as in my tribe) never use healing piggies when going in with tickle chickens for any boss/difficulty. We rely purely on the veggie cakes to do the healing. But it's definitely a viable alternative on the Chicken Army of Doom™ tactic to increase your survivability.

Your (as in your tribe's) "Chicken Army of Doom™" has been bred and mutation stacked for many generations. But then it is a choice of extra sustain or extra DPS from 1 more chicken. Anyway these kinds of threads are kinda pointless imo - one may bring dinos listed in guides and fail miserably if they dont know how to properly control them in each and every encounter (aggro management, positioning etc.).

Olivar Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 very true, dino handling is definitely an important factor when doing bosses and can make or break a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zahlea Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Thank you guys! 5 hours ago, DarthaNyan said: Anyway these kinds of threads are kinda pointless imo - one may bring dinos listed in guides and fail miserably if they dont know how to properly control them in each and every encounter (aggro management, positioning etc.). You are very right, ofc. I'll add a note about it. What I'm looking for is a good place to start for someone who has no idea I added your recommendations. Since they are the same for all bosses: if you know what lower point would work for easier bosses, I'd gladly accept that suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngrySaltire Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 For the love of God can this topic get pinned or something, considering how often these questions are asked ?

Brood on The Center does 1/3rd amount of damage and receives 3x amount of damage to and from all sources, so it is paper thin and is no threat. Monkey in that fight is a main dish: it is a bit outdated and thus can hit riders with its boulder throw (one shot) which makes it harder than current TheIsland one. Edit: technically you could use megatheriums if you manage to not kill Brood too fast and use her spiderlings for buffs to melt Monkey. Still too much hassle imo and way too many things can/will go wrong while you try to setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. General idea is 21k health and every point left into melee, 600% is the minimum.

We rely purely on the veggie cakes to do the healing. But it's definitely a viable alternative on the Chicken Army of Doom™ tactic to increase your survivability. I agree with the lack of piggies when using theros, olivar is kinda the thero expert, but basically, veggie cakes heal 10% of the max hp UP TO 2100hp every 30 seconds, so never exceed 21k. IMO using a pig makes the theros eat cakes less often thus making them less effective. 10 hours ago, doken said: Can you really kill the Alpha Dragon with those 19theri and 1 yuty? Yes (there is a 12+ page thread debating this lol)and its all down to cakes. To save olivar explaining in full later on here as somebody is going to ask. The damage from dragon comes mainly from the fire breath/lava, which does a flat 10% of your tames max health. At 21k hp, 1 cake heals this every 30 seconds, basically doubling the survival time of the entire Chicken army of doom and in a perfect situation results in almost no hp loss from the entire fight, my best is 3k loss max, worst was one thero down to 8k, the difference is due to good/bad control of your tickle chickens, my best hp loss i consider to be a perfect run, not 1 screw up, bug or miss key. Somebody needs to put right at the top. Try to remain calm, if something goes wrong dont panic, stay on task, its not over till the timer hits 0.

Saupe Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Also, alpha manticore is easiest with 10 unridden lightning wyverns 10k health and 550+ melee, and a yut or rex for each player present. Enable ai special attacks before entering, whistle attack my target at manticore and try to buff the wyverns when possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems inneficient to only bring 7-8 when you can bring 19. All are ridden. You can ofcourse bring 19 but many will die due to not being able to get that insect buff by killing those adds. Takes around 4-5 minutes i guess, but the best thing about using megatheriums is that, they are easy to transport, easy to heal and don't loose that much health. Easy 74 element. Only downside is you need players online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider pigs complement cakes nicely instead of going in the way of healing because sometimes dragon does his breath multiple times per landing plus his hits are no joke either. Better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
