Forest Titan
In ARK: Survival Ascended, Forest Titan is an arena-bound boss creature that puts a tribe's tames, gear, and tactics to a serious test. As an unknown, it responds to a special taming method - and ships with 400,000 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge. It gives live birth after a gestation period, with offspring maturing at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. Survivors lean on it to gather Corrupted Wood, Thatch, Corrupted Nodule at much higher rates than hand tools. Beating it is a milestone unlock, gating tek progression for the tribes that can pull it off.
Forest Titan does not currently spawn on any ARK: Survival Ascended map, or spawn data is not yet available.
To bring a Forest Titan under your control, concentrate on eliminating the corruption covering its form. Ensure you target solely the corruption, as harming the Titan reduces taming efficiency. While Titans naturally come with a Platform Saddle, their operation requires a distinct cockpit. It’s essential to remember that Titans are tamed temporarily, lasting only 24 hours.
Harvesting a dead Forest Titan yields Corrupted Wood, Thatch, Corrupted Nodule. The corpse has 5,000 harvest health, allowing multiple hits before it's fully depleted.
Different tools yield different quantities - check the table below to pick the right tool for the resource you need. Generally, a Pick favors meat while a Hatchet favors hide and secondary materials.
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Incoming damage to the Forest Titan is modified by 19 different type-specific multipliers. It resists 14 damage types (up to 80% reduction) and is vulnerable to 4 (up to +300% incoming damage).
