Broodmother Lysrix is one of the Bosses in ARK: Survival Evolved. It can only be reached by generating a portal to it at a Supply Crate or Obelisk on The Island and The Center. It can also be found in the wild in The Lair on Valguero.

A weaker variant of Broodmother Lysrix spawns at the last wave in the Gauntlet Mission "Bog Beatdown" in Genesis. (Alpha Difficult spawns an X version of it)

Basic Info

Appearance

The Broodmother Lysrix is a giant Arachnid with a green body, two viciously large fangs seemingly dripping with venom with a mouth filled with razor sharp teeth behind the fangs and large spikes can be seen on the abdomen.

On beta and alpha difficulties the broodmother changes colors to match the difficulty.

Color Scheme and Regions

The Broodmother Lysrix always spawns with the same color scheme and has no color regions.

This means it is currently impossible to make alterations to the Broodmother Lysrix's colors.

Colors

The Broodmother has different types of color due to its difficulty level

Broodmother Difficulty	Broodmother Color
Gamma (Easy)	Default Coloring
Beta (Medium)	Yellow
Alpha (Hard)	Red

Known Information

Background

In-game appearance and relative size

It is suggested in the Araneo dossier that the Broodmother is the queen and parent of the island's spiders.

Location

The Broodmother can be found in the Broodmother Arena and the The Center Arena. To reach this location, players must go to either a Supply Crate or Obelisk and place the required tribute items inside, then click on the Generate Broodmother Portal or the Center Portal item. At this point a portal will be opened to teleport nearby players and dinos into the arena, open for approximately 25 seconds. (Up to 10 survivors and 20 tames only.)

Alternatively she can be found in the redwoods on Valguero.

If playing on The Island in Single Player mode, the portal can only be generated from the Green Obelisk.

Tribute Requirements

The following items are needed to open the Broodmother Portal:

Item Required	Gamma	Beta	Alpha
Player Level	30	50	70

Wild Stats Level-up

Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you can try to recover the breeding-stats with an external tool.

Broodmother Lysrix (Gamma)

The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps

Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.

Combat

This section describes how to fight against the Broodmother Lysrix.

General

The Broodmother is the intermediate of the Guardians on The Island being stronger than the Megapithecus but weaker than the Dragon and while it does give you the least amount of rewards it's still best to fight the Broodmother after the Megapithecus and before the Dragon to help you better prepare for the Dragon fight.

The Broodmother Lysrix is a dangerous enemy as It spawns Araneo as minions, slows players and mounts with its web attack, uses a acid projectile attack, and can cause torpor damage. However provided the right tames and equipment are brought to the battle, it can be defeated quite easily.

Strategy

There isn't really much strategy needed to fight a Broodmother, most of the time, whistling all dinos to attack her will be sufficient enough. Make sure before you do this, everyone is saddled up and on board their dinos. Success in this boss fight is largely dependent on the tames and saddles you bring. While they most likely wouldn't be used, firearms should be brought in as a last resort just to be safe.

Recommended Tames

• A Yutyrannus or 2 (preferably mate boosted) should always be brought into any arena as it's one of if not the most valuable creature for Boss fights due to its courage roar ability and good stats making them a jack of all trades mount.
• Using several Megatherium are probably the best fighting mounts you could bring to a Broodmother fight due to their increased damage to insects.
• A couple of Spinosaurus could also be useful since there is water in the arena that they can get the hydrated buff from.
• The Common strategy of Rex Rushing is almost always a good strategy for almost any boss due to their high health and damage.
• If players are willing to put the effort into micromanaging their food the Daeodon can also be valuable due to their healing ability.

Dangers

• You can get caught off guard if you're not on a dino as the Broodmother has the ability to fire webs that slow anything down.
• Many of its attacks, both melee and ranged, can induce large amounts of Torpor. This can make the possibility of you, other players, and/or your creates passing out, becoming useless and likely to die.
• Ontop of that the broodmother isn't the only creature in this fight that inflicts these special effects since the Araneo can use a web attack as well as inflict torpor damage just like the Broodmother.
• On Alpha difficulty, Broodmother receives a significant buff to health and damage, requiring very high armor saddles, imprinting, and the Yutyrannus's courage buff. Make sure you have a strong breeding line of whichever dino you're bringing to the battle.

Weaknesses

• There is quite a large variety of creatures you can use in this fight that can be effective.
• The Broodmother is quite slow.
• Megatheriums insect rage can quickly kill a Broodmother with little difficulty.

Notes/Trivia

• The Broodmother is the first Boss released for Ark. It could be spawned from any obelisk into the over world and fought. This was changed with v239.0, when it was given its respective arena that players had to teleport to.
• With the release of Valguero, it made its Broodmother the first open-world, naturally occurring boss.
• Until patch 183.0 the Broodmother was actually tameable. However, this was removed from the game and in current versions; the Broodmother is not tameable with regular methods.
• After killing the Broodmother the first time, many players like to re-summon her in order to farm Chitin from the Spider Minions she summons (this was more common and easier prior to v239.0).
• The Broodmother always spawns at level 1 in singleplayer.
• Her original dossier was actually written in Daedric writing from The Elder Scrolls series. It translates to a text that appears to be written in Latin, but in fact turns out to be the so-called "Lorem Ipsum", a common filler text used for publishing and graphics design.
• If forcetamed, the Broodmother can be ridden. The Broodmother has three attacks that can be used: the regular melee attack, webbing multi-shot, and toxic multi-shot.
• The Broodmother Lysrix is harder to kill than the Megapithecus, but rewards the player with less Element than the Megapithecus.
• In the story, Helena mentions a tribe known as "The Iron Brotherhood" killed the Broodmother. It seems it was a hard-fought battle, since the Iron Brotherhood's leader lamented over the tribemates lost in the fight.
