How Many Dinos Can You Bring to an Overseer Boss Fight?
One of the most frequently asked questions in the Ark survival community is "How many dinos can I bring to an overseer boss fight?" Well, look no further! In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about bringing dinosaurs to fight the overseer.
Exceeding 20 Total Dinos
A common misconception is that the overseer fight has a strict limit of 20 dinos. However, this is not entirely true. Exceeding 20 total dinos will send extras randomly to a kill zone when teleporting to the overseer. This means you can bring as many dinosaurs as you like, and the game will automatically group them together to fight in the kill zone.
The 20 Dino Limit: Per Teleport
Despite the fact that you can bring more than 20 dinosaurs, there is a caveat. The 20 dino limit is per teleport. This means that you’ll need to teleport multiple times to gather all your dinosaurs and transport them to the overseer fight. For example, if you have 35 dinosaurs, you’ll need to teleport twice to group them together for the fight.
Gigas and Other Heavy Dinos
Now that we’ve covered the basic rules of bringing dinosaurs to the overseer fight, let’s talk about gigas. Gigas are not allowed in the boss arena. This includes other heavy dinos that have a weight above 560. These dinos are not capable of being transported to the fight or will be denied entry once you attempt to teleport in.
Rexes and Other Medium-Weight Dinos
On the other hand, rrexes and other medium-weight dinos are welcome to join the fight. These dinosaurs are among the most common and beloved in the game, making them great choices for this fight.
Yuty and Other Large Dinos
Yutys, being a larger dinosaur, are also eligible to fight the overseer. In fact, they’re an excellent choice for this battle due to their high HP and damage output.
Fear Roar and The Best Setup
When facing the overseer, the best setup will depend on the boss and the phase you’re on. Here are some tips to consider:
- For phase one, use a gatling turret or rocket launcher to blast the Overseer’s shields. This will leave it open to attack and make your job easier.
- Use wyverns in phase two, as their high damage output will shred the Overseer’s increased health.
- In phase three, team up with a group of rexes to take out the Overseer’s extra health.
A Note on Phases and Strategies
Before we get into the meat of it, let’s quickly recap the overseer’s three phases:
- Phase one: Overseer stays stationary, shielded and spawns drones.
- Phase two: Overseer becomes aggressive and starts stomping around the arena.
- Phase three: Overseer has increased health and spawns additional damage sources.
Table of Dinosaur Weight and Acceptance to the Fight
Here is a table highlighting the acceptability of certain dinosaurs based on their weight:
| Dinosaur Weight | Eligibility for the Fight | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 0-560 (most dinos) | Allowed | The majority of dinos will fit within this weight category. |
| 561-800 | Mostly allowed, but subject to exceptions | Although these dinos are likely to be transported, check the game’s weight calculator to ensure yours will make the cut. |
| 801-1000 | Denied entrance | Gigas, brontos, and other heavy dinos will be refused entry. |
| 1000+ (Titanosaurs, etc.) | Allowed | These massive creatures are usually welcome to participate in the fight. |
Frequently Asked Questions
As we wrap up this guide, here are some questions and answers that might prove helpful:
Q: Can I use wyverns in the fight? A: No, wyverns are among the dinos that have a weight above 560 and are denied entrance.
Q: Can I bring a Yuty to the fight? A: Yes, Yutys and other large dinosaurs are accepted in the fight.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the amount of dinos you can bring to an overseer fight is only limited by teleportation. With over 20 total dinos, you’ll need to teleport multiple times to assemble your team for the final battle. Always check your dinosaur’s weight to ensure they’re allowed in the fight, and remember the best setup for each phase will depend on the battle at hand.
