How to Find and Defeat Broodmother in ARK Fjordur

Spiders... Why is it always spiders?

One of the toughest bosses in all of Ark Fjordur is the Broodmother. A hulking, spiky, menacing spider boss, Broodmother is as tough as she looks and can give players plenty of headaches if they go swinging without a plan. With ARK 2 on the horizon, taking down tough bosses like Broodmother will be imperative to succeeding in the future.

How to defeat Broodmother in ARK Fjordur

Finding and summoning Broodmother can be a breeze compared to taking her down. Though a miniboss, she is strong, tough, and not alone. Her armor is tough to pierce, and she summons smaller spiders that will hound players with Torpor attacks and webs that slow players down. However, with the right strategy, Broodmother can eventually be brought down. Try some of the tricks below to make the fight easier for you and your group:

  • Using Yuty's roar to buff your other tames will cause them to deal greater damage and sustain less damage.
  • Use Daeodons to heal the rest of your tames so they can continue tanking the boss.
  • Having any Gigas will make this fight a breeze, as a few of them can easily tank through Broodmother's damage and break through her armor.
