Dragon fight without BPs

[DillyBruh]

I am planning on fighting the dragon (most likely on beta difficulty) using 19 therizinos and a yuty, however there is absolutely no way I will farm for theri saddle blueprints, how much health should they be getting with primitive saddles?

If you're not going to legit make the saddles why not just command yourself the dragon kill?

I've often wondered if the saddles or even the health stat make that big of a difference, since most of the damage they take is from the breath attack.

if you don't wanna make saddles just get 16 decent shadowmanes and 4 dieno chickens and you can kill dragon with the bleed if you are careful

^^^^yea, recomend he pumps melee not hp, and also makes veggie cake more important grind than saddles for dragon boss with theriz

You will want 21k health for the therizinos, and everything else into melee.  And load them up with sweet veggie cakes. Sweet veggie cakes heal 10% of a tame's health, with a cap at 2100 health. That is why 21k is the sweet spot for herbivore health in the dragon fight.

Can zinos drink wyverns milk?  I know that if my deino does, the dragon is a walk in the park.

On single player, I done it with super saddles and with prim....With the super saddles,  I skated by with only 20k health, however I also gave all of the theri's 10 cakes.....Some of them ate them all, others only ate 3 of them.
The one's with prim saddles though, I had to go full tilt on the mutations.....I think I managed 40k health'ish, 15 cakes each, and I rode a deadon with 85k food state and enabled super healing. {can only be done if the deadon is ridden}......Half way into the battle, the dragon for some reason decided to try to attack just me, even though I was out of its fire breath range, so I scored a lot of free hits without anyone taking any damage in return.

Still lost two theri's and all of the cakes was gone.

The best farm for the BP Iv ever found, was the swamp cave. If and when you hit it, make sure you "linger" after killing off all the bugs. You can get both the red loot crates that spawn there, and they both can contain a theri saddle BP

The breath attack is the worst part of the dragon fight, but a single bite is enough to kill any level human. So the bite attacks, and the fireball from the sky attack is still worthy of preparing for. Plus if you have a higher health pool to tank that 20% burn, then there is more of a chance you will actually have to get hit with 5+ breath attacks before you need to start panicking.

i tested wyvern milk for dragon fight recently, it doesnt give immunity to the fire breath.
