Dino Tiers
| Ordinary | Just like vanilla dinos they're fairly easy to kill or tame in early game using berries or veggies |
| Descended | A higher tier than ordinary dinos and slightly stronger. by killing (or taming them for passively producing) , you'll be rewarded with descended essence which is essential ingredient for multiple items crafting throughout your adventure. |
| Excellent | Is the 3rd tier of dinos and here you'll need to start your egg farm and start crafting excellent kibble in the Descended smithy in order to tame them.
Note: killing excellent dinos will not grant you excellent essence. However, you'll get excellent souls instead. |
| Unreal | Unreal tier dinos have a unique holographic look, their Bite causes unreal effect which drains your enemies health super quick. They also have a special attack. |
| Devilish/Divine | These 2 tiers are the game changers, they're the strongest creatures available in the wild to tame. Furthermore, these 2 tiers are your starting point of fighting high tier bosses in descended mod due to their special attacks and equipable special armor to increase health and armor.
Devilish and Divine dinos are fairly equal in terms of strength and abilities(special attacks) |
| Ancient Evo | These Evo dinos require special procedure to acquire.
First you need to spawn Ancient Evo origin Raptor using war generator (Will spawn tamed), next you need to craft an Evo core in descended smithy under Evo >> Ancient. Once you gather all the required materials for the Evo core and craft it just drop it in your Ancient raptor inventory and consume it. Raptor>Carno>Theri>Spino>Giga |

Taming Process
Taming these bosses requires a special technique. Once you defeat the first boss you'll be rewarded with "Challenger's breath, and a scion will be automatically spawned. Make sure to consume "The challenger's breath" you received before defeating the scion which will result in taming the scion upon defeating it.
T5 Galaxy Warcheif
If you're planning to tame The Galaxy Warcheif, make sure that you crafted the Galaxy tribute in descended smithy first. After defeating The original boss a scion will be spawned just like Eternal gorilla and dyinglight, once the scion of warcheif reaches %20 on health it will stand still and you cannot hurt it anymore. Jump of your mount and place the galaxy tribute on the last slot on your hot bar(to the right) and feed it.
T6 Skylord (Bionic quetz)& Bionic Rex
The last bosses tier and the hardest to defeat, so you better be ready for it.
Taming process:
First make sure to craft Descended ingot using the Bionic essence you received by killing the boss.
Next, craft your factory and place it (you need to unlock the engram first). Place Bionic essence in the factory and start processing.
Every %10 your bionic dino will be asking for certain quantity of Descended ingots just like feeding baby dinos when imprinting. So make sure you have all the Bionic essence crafted into Descended ingots just to be safe not to run out of it.
