FOREST TITAN

Titan · Forest Cave, Crater Forest
Extinction Summon

The Fight

what you are walking into

One of Extinction's three lesser Titans, and one of the few bosses in ARK you can keep — temporarily.

You do not knock it out. You destroy the corruption nodes on its body in order, and it kneels.

what it can do, and what to expect

Behavior

The Forest Titan, while being slow, is an aggressive Titan that'll swipe its opponent with incredible range. When it's killed, or it dies, it turns into a brownish colored tree statue, being inactive for generations to come.

General

The player teleports back to the Crater forest from the terminal of the forest cave. At the center, the Forest Titan assimilates and lets out a loud roar. The battle begins as the Titan uses its root attack.

While being the least mobile of the 4 titans it makes up for it with mobility hindering abilities such as its root attack trapping tames and survivors, its root attack dragging creatures and survivors towards it, and it spreading poisonous trees around the battlefield limiting survivor safe zones so it should not be underestimated due to its speed.

Dangers

• The Forest Titan has durability on its side so be prepared for a lengthy fight.

• Getting close to it without a mount is dangerous as its stomp or swipe can outright kill or heavily injure a survivor in one hit.

• It also has a move where it will send out vines from its right arm in an attempt to grab the player and even certain mounts and getting hit by this is pretty much guaranteed death as it deals 15,000 damage, however it can not grab players that are occupying meks.

• The Forest Titan can also spread poisonous trees around the battlefield that can rack up consistent damage and should be destroyed when possible if their presence is impeding progress.

• Lastly, the Forest Titan can send roots through the ground to immobilize grounded tames and survivors. Those on flying mounts should take to the sky and other survivors that can get in the air by any means possible should definitely do so because this root will dismount you from tames.

Weaknesses

The Forest Titan is very slow and can be vulnerable to long aggro chains on distant targets. This can allow a lot of free damage or progress on destroying the corruption. Most of its attacks are easily telegraphed and can be evaded with quick movement. With the right strategy and tools on your side the titan is nearly helpless in thwarting your attempts to kill or tame it.

The wild Forest titan has a blind spot to Mek sword attacks when attacking just lateral of its right foot. It is also risky attacking because of its foot clipping into the movement of a Mek, making them vulnerable to its stomps.

Its vine attack seems to have a weight capacity, as it can grab multiple small creatures and very few to one giant tames such as a Bronto, making rushing with giant creatures able to take it down.

The Forest Titan can only attack targets that are either in front or below it. It is unable to attack anything above it, so multiple players with high damage melee weapons such as Tek swords or Tek claws can go right above its neck and repeatedly attack its neck. Pair the melee weapons with a tek suit and grappling hooks to help evade the Forest Titans area of effect attacks when it shakes itself or does its root attack.

Like any other titan, the Forest Titan will take increased damage from a Compound Bow, though at a reduced amount compared to the other titans.

Meks can very easily dodge and fly around all his attacks while taking barely any hits. even a single Mek can defeat it with careful aiming and dodging, though this would be very costly in Element. (tested in single player)

A single max level and imprint Stegosaurus can shred the Forest Titan's health in seconds. (tested with and without single player settings; a stegosaurus with an imprinted base melee stat of 770 can deal 11k damage per tick)

The loot will sometimes appear in a dropped item cache, even if your tames don't destroy the body. You only have 3 minutes before this cache expires, so clear the area and find it quickly

Tribute

per difficulty · not cumulative

How the fight works

  • Break the two shoulder nodes first — its arms come off and grow back — then the node on its chin.
  • Damage you do to the Titan itself, rather than to the nodes, carries over: the more you hurt it during the tame, the weaker the Titan you end up riding.
  • Its roots and area attacks make ground melee unworkable; this is a ranged, airborne fight.
  • Once claimed it arrives wearing its own platform saddle, like the other two lesser Titans.

Also true

  • Tameable, but the tame is temporary — a Titan is a siege asset with a timer, not a permanent addition to your tames.

What to Bring

community loadout — not a game value
You do not kill a Titan, you break its three corruption nodes — head, and both arms — and it is tamed rather than looted. Aim for the nodes, not the body.
