Titans

Titans are a unique variant of Bosses found on Corrupted Earth in Extinction, they dwarf almost every boss in size and are unmatched in power. As a roaming-summoned Boss, they can only be summoned from their arena-specific flooring through activating the terminal found within dungeon-depths of the cave before being seen in the map. Unlike other bosses, however, these can be tamed by eradicating the corruption emerging around their body parts. Also unlike other Bosses, which appear as level 1, all Titans arrive at Level 1000 or above with each titan having a specified level (and will gain boosted level depending on its taming efficiency), which is impossible to achieve for any other tamed creature without cheating.

Once all the corruption has been expelled from the Titan, it will fall down unconscious. All the survivor needs to do is to "use" to tame the titan. There will be a Tek Platform saddle already pre-equipped onto the the Titan. All of the Titans except the King Titan can be permanently tamed in Single Player. Another thing to note is that Titans cannot be leveled or earn XP through any ways; they will remain at the level they are tamed at. Prior to Patch 287.110, Titans were able to be fed with Kibble to prevent them from starving to death.

Each Titan requires different type of strategies when removing the corruption if the survivor intends to tame them, as the corrupting tumor spawns at random spots on the Titan whenever another tumor is destroyed or after a set period of time. This, alongside each Titan's different attack patterns, makes it imperative to prepare accordingly. Also, the Titans remain within the center of their respective summon locations (except for the ). If they move too far from it, not only will they start to move back, their health will quickly regenerate.

Transferring of Titan is possible, but is only permitted within the first few hours after its tamed. Thereafter, it is no longer transferrable. If the Titan is unclaimed and claimed by another tribe, or recently transferred, it will lose all its food and start starving.

To be able to confront the final and strongest Titan, the, the survivor must kill the other 3 Titans and obtain their trophy heads. Each Titan can be killed to unlock a few Tekgrams.

What Defines a Titan
Lore wise Titans are the creatures that caused the apocalypse and are massive in size far surpassing most creatures in size and all creatures in power, they are the reason the Arks were constructed so that they can train survivors to take on the Titans in hopes of reclaiming the planet and wiping out the Titans and Corruption. But the fact that Titans are purely made of element makes them the reason why the ARKs haven't fallen from the sky yet, forcing the ARKs to remain within space. The Titans are also the only creatures to be considered Omega level threats (basically meaning they can cause the apocalypse).

Titans are distinct in that:


 * They are massive in size.
 * They all have some degree of bioluminescence.
 * They were not created for the Arks unlike the Bosses.
 * They always spawn in the open world instead of Arenas.
 * They are completely made of Element.
 * Their attacks can potentially one hit kill about over half of all creatures in the Arks.
 * All of them have over 6 digit health bars.

They consist of the, , and the.

Why there are different categories of Bosses
This tab exists to clear up confusion within the community as to why Bosses are separated into categories and what makes them fit into a certain category while not fitting into others.

There are 3 main categories of Bosses within Ark that branch out specifically because of lore and game play.

Do note that all of them, regardless of category, are bosses and do share a few similarities such as Health Bars and having Trophy Heads.


 * 1) Ark Bosses are the bosses used on The Island, Scorched Earth and Aberration. All are within separate Arks and in lore are used specifically to help train survivors to ascend to Earth to help kill the Titans and cleanse the Corruption. They all share the traits of being fought within an arena, have variable difficulty, have high health pools, and are fought within an Ark.
 * 2) Titans are massive and powerful creatures that caused the story of Ark. They, along with an army of corrupted creatures, killed billions of humans forcing them to retreat. They are different as all of them spawn above level 999 and are world bosses. They all also share the trait of being massive in size.  Even though Titans have much less health than the Ark Bosses and Master AI, they overall make up in raw damage that range in the thousands to the tens of thousands.
 * 3) Master AI and the Master Controller are creatures used within the Genesis Simulation and are more closer to the traditional Ark Bosses. Like them, the Master AI and Master Controller are used to help humanity, however they are separate from Ark Bosses as they are used for a different purpose called "The Arrival." They are not used within an Ark but instead the Genesis Simulation, of which the Master AI can control their own respective maps and the Master Controller oversees everything that happens and has a lot of control, however it does not have total control like how the Overseers have over the Arks.
