Im one to take random stuff to boss fights and I love using the frog as a travel mount, but I never would have expected that thing to go berserk like this.
Re: The frogs dying randomly at the end. We have done dragon on official and there is some weird anti mesh going on in the arena and that might be killing them. We had two players randomly die from walking on a certain spot, and another whose body was subsequently anti mesh destroyed according to tribe logs. This could be what was happening to those frogs.
Love the hops and the dragon toe licking. They did better than I thought and quite entertaining. Looking forward to more. I take it you won't try it with Dodos since I don't even know that it's possible to get to that health level with them.
It's absurd to me that the conventional wisdom throughout the full decade this game has been out has always been that the broodmother is easier than the megapithecus
I think it's masked by the fact that everyone beats her easily with Megatherium. That and the majority of let's play videos usually fight her first. If venture to say she can be harder to beat than the dragon, depending on the dinos you use. They both even have the same health pool (alpha)
200 more base hp than a spino 900 vs 700. and more than double a dire bear, 900 vs 400. Lower base damage at 29, so easier to get to 20+k hp but will have to go bananas on melee damage, Also I know the heals don't stack but I believe it cuts the total food drain per heal
Calling that an artificial fail on alpha dragon. Timer wasn’t even at 10 when you jumped off the frog, you could’ve won had you not just decided to jump off your mount for no reason.
@@Boomsmith they were robbed indeed. Love this series of videos by the way. Not sure what you have planned upcoming, but I would vote for Sarcos, although I'm pretty sure their hitboxes are broken in ASA. So maybe megalosuarus on the island could be fun, if they aren't still bugged from ASE that is.
need to find out what killed those frogs that were unharmed. feel like that shouldve been an alpha victory seeing how a glitch couldve cost ya the victory
I've seen this in alot of videos with the dragon. Where even after you win and are back at the obolesk, your tames die for no reason, even if thy are healthy. I would call the dragon all wins if it wasn't for this issue
@Boomsmith gotcha thanks. My server is difficultly 6 and has slightly boosted loot. I'm looking into doing the bosses with mod dinos like Deinotherium, Deinosuchus, and maybe Meraxes. Just to try something I haven't tried
@Boomsmith I'm honestly not sure, there's so much conflicting info out there. Some say bosses don't scale with difficultly, others say they do, others say the HP doesn't scale but the damage output and resistance does. So I'm just gonna have to figure that out when I get there I guess 😆
Good luck! I used rexes for the brood and theris for the megapithecus and dragon. Didn't use any tames for the overseer, check it out if you have time! Thanks so much for the feedback@@muigokugaming5989
Yuti's have a higher Base Targeting Desirability than any of the creatures you have been/probably will be testing and should always be targeted first. Large creatures draw boss aggro over medium creatures.
This is the coolest Ark series I've seen in a long time
This means a lot, thank you for your support 🫡
He copied another big channel that does underdog boss will it boss
@@tylorsmith7580 Did I? Can you link it?
A battalion of battle toads "slurpin on them dragon toes" gotta be one of the most cursed things ive seen in some time
Slurp slurp they got in there nice and deep like
Your narration skill makes this video series into easy listening
I appreciate the kind words!

They almost had it too

Interesting! Tribe log just showed they were killed but didn't say what or why
Ive ran alpha dragon a few times and each time , after the fight, back at base , my dinos randomly die. Happened to two of them last time

Them frogs were robbed 😤
Rules are no shoulder pets or tanes that can be carried 🫡 I'd probably need level 5000 dodos lol
@@Boomsmith You know what would be a slaughter? Moschops. They'll just run away each time. 🤣

Great video I was wondering if sacros and chalecotheriums were on your lost as Icwould love to see them go against the bosses
They are definitely on the list! I have mammoths next
Chalicotheriums are beasts against the bosses
Yeah, this is one I definitely wouldn't have attempted. I'm more curious if there's any reason to bring 1-4 of these to a boss battle. Science baby!
I don't think there's a reason at all honestly... besides the fact that frogs are awesome
Good job man love your channel.....
Thank you!!
Frogs are so fun!. Lets see full raid of battle pigs. Everyone uses them to heal but they are tanky and pack a punch too. Plus 19x heals?
I have this one down I'm also interested in seeing how they perform
200 more base hp than a spino 900 vs 700. and more than double a dire bear, 900 vs 400. Lower base damage at 29, so easier to get to 20+k hp but will have to go bananas on melee damage, Also I know the heals don't stack but I believe it cuts the total food drain per heal
wonder if i could ride the daeodons and just hop from one to the other once food depletes@@GhostlyGhille
Iguanadons?
that would be interesting... i'll throw them on the list!
Can you try terror birds or arthplouera next? Arthropluera can be good because of the reflect damage
They're coming in the near future!
Do you have baryonyx on the list of underdog mounts?
sure do!
Calling that an artificial fail on alpha dragon. Timer wasn’t even at 10 when you jumped off the frog, you could’ve won had you not just decided to jump off your mount for no reason.
Correct but it didn't feel right to win without the squad 😔
Well i bet you would have beat that dragon with the lil ol' frog
Them frogs were robbed but we could have totally done it

@@tvanza7791 thanks for the support! Sarcos are on the list. Kentros and allos this week
@@Boomsmith hell yea Kentros
Love the videos
Thank you!
do more of these with other dinos
there are 4 more on my channel and one more coming tomorrow. Many more in the future!
Love it and I would have never tried this myself.
Thanks for the support 🙏
need to find out what killed those frogs that were unharmed. feel like that shouldve been an alpha victory seeing how a glitch couldve cost ya the victory
They had ghosts in their bones 😳
I'm thinking that maybe they starved or the flame breath was visually bugged.
I love my mutated frogs. I ride them almost exclusively and use them to knock everything out. Also, they are perfect for swamp cave.
They're easily one of my favorites!
kentro next!
Mammoth will be out tomorrow and I'll be working the kentro after!
Yaaaas keep this up 👏🏾
Thank you for your support 🙏

I concur, them frogs were robbed
Dont be afraid to speak up a bit show us that excitement love your videos
Thanks for your feedback and support! Is my voice too quiet?
@@Boomsmith no i just feel you hold back a bit dont be worried we love your content just bringing positive reinforcement is all man.
Thanks so much, i'll keep this in mind!@@lvl9541
Can you try Allosaurus next?
Allos are coming soon! Mammoths are tomorrow 🫡
I'm loving these videos. I was wondering though, do you have single player settings enabled or is this official settings?
Official minus the saddle stats. 150 saddles aren't possible on official but I wanted to give everyone a fair shot.
@Boomsmith gotcha thanks. My server is difficultly 6 and has slightly boosted loot. I'm looking into doing the bosses with mod dinos like Deinotherium, Deinosuchus, and maybe Meraxes. Just to try something I haven't tried
How much more HP do the alpha bosses have with 6?@@etw4life970

What Dino will u be doing next
Mammoths 🦣
@Boomsmith Awesome I was thinking about trying them myself
just finished editing the video. Its interesting 😬@@HiMyNameIzJake
When will u do stegos?
Soon! Mammoth should be out tomorrow
Sweet also great job on this series I m currently doing a run to beat asa and currently thinking what to use for the bosses so theses are helpful
Good luck! I used rexes for the brood and theris for the megapithecus and dragon. Didn't use any tames for the overseer, check it out if you have time! Thanks so much for the feedback@@muigokugaming5989
Wondering why never never did magmasaurs
Magmasaurs? I don't think they can get in
Can you try the chalicotherium the smaller cousin to the megatheriium. Cheers
They're on the list, hope to have that one out next week
@@Boomsmith sweet! Love the format of the tests btw always wondered about carnos and can’t wait to see allos in there.
thank you for the feedback!@@eclipse1117
I heard the bosses target the largest dinos
It's something more than just the largest or drag weight. They ignore carnos and frogs so far but went after dire bears and trikes.
Well done!
Much appreciated 🫡
If this frog 🐸 pulls it off...
He tried so hard
BARYONYX PLEASE
They're on the list my friend!
Underfrog
Should have used that name! I blew it!
@Boomsmith doedi plz. I have a friend that thinks they would be good. Lol
@@kenny2william got them on the list!
U should do thylas
Thyla can't enter boss arena 😔
That sucks I’m new to playing ark so I didn’t know
If you could bring thylas you would probably only need one
@@Hutchcrutchur right they would too op for boss fights
Megalosaurus or mamut pls
🦣 next my friend!
Rename the Yuty Joan of Arc as many times as is gets set aflame.
Ol yutes had a rough day
Yelling and buffing your tames at the start of the fight is causing agro to the Yuti and you do this on every fight.
I shall test this theory out
Yuti's have a higher Base Targeting Desirability than any of the creatures you have been/probably will be testing and should always be targeted first. Large creatures draw boss aggro over medium creatures.
sarco
You got it!
Beelzebufo lv 460? Jajjajajajjajqj and sadler 160
Indeed my official friend
@boomsmith doedi plz. I have a friend who thinks they would be good. Lol
I wonder if they'll suffer the same fate as the anky
@@Boomsmith my friend thinks they will take reduced damage and ball up and not die. Would be interesting to see
