The Broodmother is among the many bosses you’ll face in Ark Survival Ascended. It appears as a giant Arachnid creature. This is where we come in. In this guide, we will go over everything there is to know about this creature.
The Broodmother Lysrix can cause permanent damage to players and mounts, and it spawns Araneo as minions. If you bring the right tames and gear, you can beat it easily. The most common strategy for fighting a Broodmother in Ark Survival Ascended is to signal all of the dinos to attack her.
How to Defeat Broodmother in Ark: Survival Ascended?
Ensure everyone is on their dinos and saddled up before you do this. Tames and saddles are crucial to your success in this boss fight. Even though firearms are unlikely to be used, they should be brought in just in case. The Broodmother does not have any phases. Additionally, make use of the following dinos to give yourself the advantage.
1. Yutyrannus
Bringing a Yutyrannus into any arena is a great idea because it is a valuable mount for boss fights thanks to its high stats and courage roar.
2. Megatherium
Since Megatherium damages insects more than other mounts, you are probably best off bringing several to a Broodmother fight.
3. Spinosaurus
Due to the water in the arena, a few Spinosaurus could also be useful.
4. Shadowmane
Shadowmanes can also be used for the mate boost roar since they’re smaller and will fit better on the platform.
Broodmother Location in Ark Survival Ascended
The Broodmother boss in Ark Survival Ascended can spawn on three maps: Fjordur, The Center, and Valgeuro. You need to open her portal to be able to engage in the boss fight. There are three versions of the Broodmother: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, with Gamma being the easiest and Alpha being the hardest.
Broodmother Ark: The Center Location
On the Center map, to summon Broodmother, you’ll need to go to the Green Obelisk on the map. Here, you can offer tributes, which are requirements you must complete before you can take on the boss. Doing so will open a portal that will lead you to the boss. We’ve detailed the requirements for all three versions below.
Broodmother Location on Fjordur
On Fjordur, to summon the Broodmother, you must go to a terminal at 57 Lat and 65 Lon. Then, place the tributes on the Center map.
The Island Broodmother Location
Like the Center, you must go to the Green Obelisk to summon the Broodmother on the Island.
Ark: Valgeuro Broodmother Location
On Valgeuro, the Broodmother works slightly differently. Instead of offering tributes to enter her battle arena, on this map, she spawns outside a lair in the southern portion of the map. The exact location is marked on the map above.
