How do I prepare for the King Titan boss fight on Extinction in ARK: Survival Evolved?

Preparing for the King Titan boss fight in ARK: Survival Evolved on the Extinction map is one of the most challenging tasks in the game. This fight is the culmination of the Extinction storyline and requires careful planning, strong dinos, and a well-coordinated strategy. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide to help you prepare for this epic battle.

The King Titan is the final boss of Extinction and is fought in the King Titan Terminal located in the Sanctuary. The fight has three phases, each increasing in difficulty. The King Titan has devastating attacks, including a stomp that deals massive area damage, a laser beam that can one-shot most creatures, and the ability to summon corrupted creatures to aid it. To summon the King Titan, you need to collect all three Titan trophies (Forest Titan, Ice Titan, and Desert Titan) and place them in the terminal. The fight is timed, and if you fail to defeat the King Titan within the time limit, it will destroy the entire planet.

To prepare for the fight, you will need a strong army of tamed creatures. The best dinos for this fight are high-level Rexes, Gigas, or other powerful carnivores. Each dino should have at least 30,000 health and 1,000% melee damage. You can achieve this by breeding and imprinting your dinos for maximum stats. Additionally, equip your dinos with high-quality saddles to reduce incoming damage. The King TitanÔÇÖs attacks deal a lot of damage, so having strong saddles is crucial.

Resource preparation is also key. You will need a large amount of ammunition for your weapons, such as advanced rifle bullets or shotgun shells. Bring plenty of medical brews and food to keep your health up during the fight. ItÔÇÖs also a good idea to bring a few cryopods in case you need to reposition your dinos quickly. Make sure your armor is repaired and you have spare sets in case your current one breaks.

For the fight itself, start by positioning your dinos around the King Titan. Spread them out to avoid taking too much damage from its stomp attack. Focus on attacking its legs to deal damage while avoiding its laser beam. The King Titan will periodically summon corrupted creatures, so have a few dinos or players dedicated to dealing with these adds. Keep an eye on the timer and make sure you are dealing consistent damage to the King Titan.

One common mistake is not having enough dinos or not having them properly leveled. The King Titan has a massive health pool, and if your dinos are not strong enough, you will run out of time. Another mistake is not spreading out your dinos, which can lead to them all being wiped out by a single stomp. Make sure to keep your dinos spread out and focus on dealing damage quickly.

Advanced techniques include using a Yutyrannus to buff your dinos with its courage roar, which increases their damage and resistance. You can also use a Daedon to heal your dinos during the fight, though this requires careful management of its food stat. Another strategy is to use a Mek to deal damage from a distance, as the King TitanÔÇÖs attacks are less effective against ranged targets.

If you are playing solo, the fight will be much harder, but it is still possible. Focus on breeding and imprinting a strong army of Rexes or Gigas and make sure they have the best saddles you can craft. Use a Yutyrannus to buff your dinos and a Daedon to keep them healed. Be prepared for a long and intense fight, and make sure you have plenty of resources to keep yourself alive.

In conclusion, the King Titan fight is one of the most challenging battles in ARK: Survival Evolved. Proper preparation, strong dinos, and a well-coordinated strategy are essential for success. Make sure to breed and level your dinos, craft high-quality saddles, and bring plenty of resources. Spread out your dinos to avoid taking too much damage and focus on dealing consistent damage to the King Titan. With careful planning and execution, you can defeat the King Titan and save the planet from destruction.
