How To Solo The Broodmother Boss in ARK Survival Ascended

The Island in ARK Survival Ascended houses three formidable bosses, with the Broodmother likely being the initial challenge you'll face. While it's possible to tackle this boss fight with various tames to make it easier, solo players may opt for this route if they aren't interested in investing time in taming Rexes and Yuty's.

Fortunately, there's a method to accomplish this, providing the best chance of swiftly defeating the Broodmother almost single-handedly, eliminating the need for multiple tames or additional players. Let's explore how players can solo the Broodmother boss in ARK Survival Ascended.

How To Beat The Broodmother Boss in ARK

Facing the Broodmother solo involves meeting specific setup requirements, one of which is having a single tame capable of navigating the arena and facilitating the solo strategy. The Procoptodon is recommended for its high jumping ability, a crucial element for the strategy, and its agility to maneuver swiftly, avoiding the small spiders surrounding the Broodmother.

While additional tames like the Yutyrannus, capable of attacking the Broodmother on the ground, can be brought in, the solo strategy makes it optional rather than necessary. As long as you're mounted on a nimble creature with good jumping capabilities, you'll be well-equipped.

In addition to the appropriate Tame, you'll need a potent weapon to inflict damage on the Broodmother, along with a substantial amount of ammunition. The choice of weapon is subjective, but a shotgun is ideal for its high damage output at close range—a crucial factor given that the Broodmother will be quite close to you in the employed strategy.

With these preparations in place, you are ready to confront the Broodmother. If you haven't faced her before, consult our guide on the Broodmother boss fight for details on the conventional method using a normal tame group setup.

Broodmother Lysrix Solo Fight Strategy

When facing the boss, stay mounted and turn around to locate two large egg sack-like objects on the wall. Your objective is to jump up and land on the one on the right-hand side—a challenging aspect of the strategy that can become a reset point if not executed accurately, leading to the Broodmother overwhelming you.

Once you are on the elevated platform, reposition yourself to look down at the Broodmother, who will follow you without attacking due to the elevation, almost entering a roaming state. From this vantage point, unleash a continuous barrage of shotgun blasts directly down at her until she is defeated. The duration of this process depends on the difficulty level (Gamma, Beta, or Alpha), so ensure you have enough ammunition to last the entire fight.

Keep up the barrage of shotgun blasts until the Broodmother eventually falls, which will grant you the Broodmother supply crate with many useful items that depend on the level you're fighting her at, and of course, a hefty amount of XP, which is also level dependant. From here, you can simply leave the arena, having successfully taken out Broodmother Lysrix as a solo player.
