Basic Info

Dossier

Wild

The Lord of Sand and Sky has fallen, despite its swarms of protectors, the powerful swings of its mighty tail or the lightning it called from the sky. The soaring leviathan could not match the ingenuity of humanity, and especially not yours.

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.

Desert Titan

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 Desert Titan.

General

The Desert Titan is a large hovering creature that has its own minions, The Desert Titan Flock.

Strategy

If you are planning on taming the Desert Titan, you must destroy the Corruption Nodes on its back whilst dealing as little damage as possible to the Titan itself as the amount of damage you do will reflect as a low HP tame.

If you aren't planning on taming it try to bring a Managarmr if possible as you can get up towards the titan and land on its back, also bring multiple Tribemates.

Weaponry

Using a High-tier Fabricated / Tek Rifle is recommended for this fight as they can deal high amounts of damage in short periods of time, Tek armour is also suggested.

Dangers

Its lightning attack can deal tremendous damage be sure to avoid it as it has a long charge-up period.

Taming

The Desert Titan is tamed by attacking the corruption nodes on it's back in a designated sequence. These nodes will only spawn after they have been struck by a Lightning Strike from the Desert Titan. After all corruption has been destroyed, the Desert Titan will be tamed and will come pre-equipped with a special  Platform Saddle. The saddle placement varies per Titan and the Desert Titan can be controlled via a special cockpit area on the saddle.

It is important to note that the more damage done to the Desert Titan during the taming process will reflect on the amount of damage done by the Desert Titan after it has been tamed.

Utility

Roles

• Mobile base: due to all of them having a platform saddle, this role is also for the other two Titans. Still, the best option for this role is the Desert Titan. Although you can’t improve its speed, it has the ability to fly. Its turning radius is very unfortunate, but it can maneuver in all three dimensions to reach the safest location on the map, the air. It also has the biggest platform to build on. We suggest spending your levels in Health, Weight and Movement Speed.

• Tank.

• Turrent (using its flock).

• Resource transport.

Note out of all Titans the Desert Titan is not recommended for combat due to its large turning radius

Notes/Trivia

The Desert Titan can swim underwater (on The Island) without kicking the player off of the saddle.

If the Desert Titan leaves the desert with any tamed creatures on its platform saddle, those creatures will die instantly.
