Felsenwiesel Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hello Guys Me and my Brother are playing on an unofficial Ark PvE server where we would like to do the Medium Ragnarok Boss. Ive heard that Theris are quite good for that and have been breeding them for a while now. I can get them to at least 20k HP and 700 Melee. Are they actually good enaugh or should i use something else? We are looking forward to hear from you guys. Note: We are just two people and only have prim saddles.

Aylana314159 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Try for better saddles. Might want someone on a yuti, for the buff. Sweet veggie cakes for healing. Maybe a warpig for healing, but those are a bit of a pain. I suggest you split the army into 2 whistles groups, for flanking purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so one Yuti some cakes and maybe a pig. Do you know an easy way or atleast some good way to get the saddles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bump all your theriz to 21k hp instead of 20k, seems weird but its the proven "best hp for cake heals" number for dragon (isl and rag) People did extensive tests about this (Though really.. 20k is fine but to be more optimal, 21k ) Edit: pig is just for healing between fights unless you got an extra person to ride it (you also need to keep it safe and lose dps of one theri) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana314159 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 https://ark.gamepedia.com/Beacon Trading is also a good way. Or asking to borrow a BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrojado1200 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Oh man... Theris are not good for bosses. Rex is the best dino... best stats, best breeding (less time in baby fase) and the saddle rex is more cheap for crafting (Bps). Rex in Ark is the "KING OF BOSSES."

Theris can heal mid-fight with cakes. They've proven themselves to be perfectly capable time and time again, you may have your opinion on which is best but you can't say they are "not good for bosses".

FeyGriffin Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 For Dragon, Theris are best because of the cake healing - dragon breath does a fixed % of max health as damage, so the cake really helps. Rexes are best for Ape, Megatheriums for spider (due to the buff from killing the little spiders). It's possible to do any of the bosses with good rexes or good theris, just that the cake makes it safer to use theris for Dragon. Those stats are fine for Alpha Rag, but as has been said, you really want better than prim saddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueberryJackal Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 You can get good saddle blueprints from the water crates on the island. Everything above blue CAN contain one, but you may have to open several crates, because you still need some luck (doesnt mean you should tame a liopleurodon. dont tame it. its useless). I dont know if Theris are a good tame. I havent had one. They look quite derpy and are a real pain in the butt to tame, because they are herbivores. I would exchange one or two theris with a Yuty and/or a daeodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes yes, Theris + cake is good idea. But i prefer no lost my time crafting cake. I did not say "Rex good, Therys bad"... but, Rex is best, indeed.

I dunno, you did make it kinda clear that you thought theris were bad for boss fights. Personally for me the theris are smaller and so you can fit 19 of them on the ob much easier than 19 rexs, also means that you can bunch up the theris denser on the bosses and still have them all attack. And for the little bit of extra effort of crafting the cakes, surely it gives the theris that little bit of extra millage especially for the dragon.

Extra HP buffer isnt a bad idea so anywhere between 21k-24k is good for theriz, especially for someone who doesnt have asc saddles yet, as long as you get decent melee (700+) with it.

Theris is the best for bosses, mainly against Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Orbital drops drop Theri bp's sometimes. You can run those with your Theri's no problem. Veggie cakes are the most important factor for herbivores in fights. I run Alpha Rag consistently with a Theri army right around 20-21k hp, 700+ melee but I do have 100+ armor saddles. They come out of the fight down between 500 to 2k hp only. I also let them fight the Golem's. The cake heal outpaces Golem damage. One downside to Theri's is they harvest the wood from the trees and buildings. It could put them over half weight which means they won't take in the element harvest from the bosses. You definitely need to check the Dragon corpse and hope you get lucky on the Manticore kill if using only Theri's. With a Yuty on Manticore, right before Manticore death you can whistle passive and finish him with the Yuty. It's tricky but best way to ensure getting all element if using Theri's.

FeyGriffin Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I set my boss theris to have harvesting disabled, but leave victim item collection on - this nicely solves the problem - nothing worse than your whistled army (we're a tribe of 3) getting encumbered mid fight!

I tried that. Didn't take in the element. I think they consider element a resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually burn 3 stacks solo, 1 stack with allies but occasionally more if Manticore is being a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
