By this stage in ARK Survival Ascended, you might have already confronted some of the formidable bosses in the game. While these encounters pose a significant challenge, certain players may be eager for an even greater test. Fortunately, this is where Tribute items come into play, offering the opportunity to face these bosses once again, but in more potent and aggressive forms.

If you're seeking to confront these heightened boss versions and require assistance in locating the Tributes necessary to summon them, we've got you covered. Below, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of how you can obtain all the Tributes in ARK Survival Ascended.

How To Get All Tributes For Each Boss In Ark Survival Ascended

Before delving into the details of obtaining Tributes, it's essential to understand how they function. In essence, there are four bosses in the game: The Broodmother, The Megapithecus, The Dragon, and the Overseer. The first three bosses come in three variants (Gamma, Beta, and Alpha). While their initial variants (Gamma) can be summoned by offering up Artifacts, summoning their Beta and Alpha versions requires both Artifacts and Tributes.

This rule applies to the first three bosses, except for the Overseer, who demands trophies from the initial three bosses along with Tributes for summoning. Let's explore all the Tributes in the game associated with each boss, providing a comprehensive guide on how to summon the Beta and Alpha versions of the primary three bosses, as well as the various variants of the Overseer.

(Note: The focus here is solely on obtaining the Tributes for each boss. For a detailed breakdown of acquiring the required Artifacts, refer to our comprehensive Artifact guide).
