ARK: Survival Evolved Forum

Hey there.

I'm playing Ark on the Xbox One, PVE server, and my tribe has come far enough that we wanted to try and take on the Broodmother. We tried. We died.

Does anyone have any useful information on the BroodMother? Besides all the base stats you can easily look up on the wiki..

Here is my experience:
Watched a few videos on youtube, looked easy enough even with just 2 people. My friend and I decided to take 3 Rex's below LvL 50, 2 Sabertooths Lvl 87 and 96, Dire Wolf LvL 102, and ourselves being LvL 72.
We spawn the Broodmother(LvL 10) and Spiders(LvL120)... At the green Obelisk, we send in our Rex's to attack and tank, sabers and wolf to attack, we shot for a while until ammo diminished, then hopped on our Mounts and helped attack. we did this for probably 30 mins until our first Rex dies. Slowly, but steadily, they all started to die. We ran out of ammo, broke our swords, and lost our creatures. We decided to take a magnifying glass to the Broodmother to check its health before calling it lost hope.

The BroodMother(LvL10) had 700,000/700,000 health. We brought more mounts to try and hurt it and see how fast it regenerates.... it regenerates extremely fast.

We send out a message to the entire server that the Broodmother is here. at least 10+ people show up from multiple tribes with ammo and mounts. We knocked it down to 670,000 health before people were scared of losing their mounts and felt hopeless. BroodMother then regenerated its health.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Info? Your personal experience? I want to be more prepared the next time we make our move.

Thanks.

Tame some gigas if you can, level them up in Health and take them to her. Back up as far as possible and let the gigas do their work. That's the best advice I can give.

Do what he said but do melee dmg. If you put anything but melee on gigas you need to get slapped. Also I've killed her with high level wolves, Rexs and pteras.

Alright, sounds like a plan. Next giga my tribe sees, we'll tame it. We've also been building a T-Rex army to see how that goes lol.
