ARK has a total of four titans. These are the most powerful creatures in the game. Forest Titan is one of the four titans that are available for the players. The best thing about them is that they all can be found on the same map which is Extinction DLC.
Forest Titan is the second strongest titan, which makes it durable in the arena. It can fight for a longer time period and has a special move which is called Vine Grab. It can do damage of 15000 points which results in the death of players.
There are certain strategies that you can use to tame this deadly boss and even win a fight against it. Once you have this boss on your side, you can use it in other battles, even the boss battles.

ARK Forest Titan Boss Guide
Forest Titan has the second-biggest health pool of all four titans. This is why it can make the battle longer. So, you have to prepare for a longer fight by gathering some durable and powerful dinos that can stand tough during long fights.
Also, you will need to fill up your storage with dozens of potions for health recovery.
Entering the Arena
The arena for Forest Titan can be accessed in the Crater Forest which is a region of Extinction DLC. Here you can get access to the arena and summon the Forest Titan by using a Tribute Item. There is not just one specific Tribute Item but a few of them.
Once the Forest Titan is summoned, you can summon it again after 6 hours. The 6-hour timer starts as soon as the Forest Titan is summoned. Here are the Tribute Items that you can use to gain access.
- Artifact of Growth
- Corrupt Heart
- Sauropod Vertebra
- Tyrannosaurus Arm
Base Stats of Forest Titan
The base stats of Forest Titan are some of the best ones that any creature have in ARK. The most important base stat of Forest Titan is its health. It is the second-largest health pool in all four titans. While being this much strong it becomes quite harder to beat it as the battle goes on for a longer time period.
Here are the base stats for Forest Titan.
- Health: 400000
- Stamina: 6000
- Oxygen: 150
- Food: 864
- Weight: 50000
- Movement Speed: 100%
- Torpidity: 1818800
These stats are quite better as compared to other bosses because most of the bosses don’t have this many high stats.
Attacking Techniques
We know that Titans have a unique set of skills that make them stand out and even the most difficult bosses of all. The Forest Titan has a unique move called the Vine Grab. This move grabs the target be it the player or a dino. Once it grabs the target, this move can do damage of 15000 points which is way too high.
You have to avoid this attack at all costs or else your character can die in just a single hit of this attack. The other moves of Forest Titan are also considered powerful. Another great move that can be seen from Forest Titan is Attack Root. The remaining moves are Swipe Right, Foot Stomp, Fly Swat, and Stomp Both.
Weakness
Just like all other ARK bosses, Forest Titan has a weakness as well. The main weakness of Forest Titan is its slow movement. Due to this weakness, the players can avoid and dodge most of their attacks. Moreover, it has several blind spots which can be hit with the help of MEK.
The MEK can use its sword attack to ensure the maximum damage on these blind spots. So, you can summon the MEK in the battle for perfect damage to the Forest Titan.
Items Dropped by Forest Titan
There is a huge list of items that are dropped by Forest Titan. But only 1 or 2 items are dropped in each fight. So, you have to defeat it several times in order to obtain the item of your choice. Moreover, the Forest Titan’s body can be harvested to collect additional items.
There is even more; some items also get unlocked when you defeat the Forest Titan. Here are some of the loot items dropped by Forest Titan.

Taming the Forest Titan
What I like the most about Titans is that they can be tamed. But, the King Titan cannot be tamed. There is a strategy that is used to tame the Forest Titan. It has 2 Corruption Nodes on its shoulders which needs to be destroyed.
Once these 2 nodes are destroyed, a new node will appear on its chin. Now, you are gonna destroy this one as well. Upon successfully destroying all three nodes, Forest Titan will lie down and you can interact with it to complete the taming process.
What Dinos to Bring for Forest Titan Boss
You can fight with the Forest Titan while having aggressive carnivore creatures that are recommended for other bosses. Moreover, the Forest Titan spawns the Forest Wyvern during the battle which the players can mount.
You can use the Forest Wyvern against the Forest Titan. These wyverns can perform flame attacks which are great against the titan. So, that’s the biggest advantage for you. As soon as it spawns the Forest Wyvern, mount on them and start using the Flame attack against the Forest Titan.
Rex
Everybody knows about the mighty Rexes. They are the perfect war mounts and fighters for boss battles. They are extremely aggressive and have a set of powerful attacks that everyone loves. Rexes in a pack perform a great rush on the bosses and that is even greater against the Forest Titan.
The most powerful attack of Rex is the Bite attack which has a solid damage rating. Another attack is the Roar attack which stuns the opponent for a short time period.
Giganotosaurus
We have another perfect war mount and boss battle dino, which is Giganotosaurus. It has almost the same attacking skills as the Rex, so it is recommended for the boss battles. Giganotosaurus has a Rage Mode that gets activated during the battle and gives it a buff to do additional 50% damage.
The best thing you can do is make a team of Rex and Giganotosaurus. Add at least 5 to 10 of each dino on your team. Use them to rush the Forest Titan. This will for sure defeat the Forest Titan. Although, it will take some time to bring it down due to its high health stat.
What Items to Bring to Forest Titan Boss Fight
A few items such as the health kits and weapons should be enough to bring into the Forest Titan boss battle. You can store some potions that will help in regaining your character’s health. Moreover, some heavy weapons such as Assault Rifle, Fabricated Sniper Rifle, and Pump-Action Shotgun can also be equipped.
What is the Best Way to Tame a Forest Titan?
The only way to tame a Forest Titan is by using a weapon such as an Assault Rifle or a Sword to destroy its Corruption Nodes. The first 2 nodes can be seen on its shoulder. When these 2 nodes are destroyed, a new node will appear on its chin.
You will be required to destroy all of the 3 nodes to make Forest Titan unconscious. Once it lies down, you can interact with it to tame it. The Forest Titan will come with a special saddle that you can be equipped all the time.
What Attributes Do You Need for Forest Titan?
We have a total of 4 Attribute Items that can be used to summon the Forest Titan. You can use any one of these 4 items. These items are Artifact of Growth, Corrupt Heart, Sauropod Vertebra, and Tyrannosaurus Arm.
So, there you have everything for our Forest Titan Guide. So, you can summon this boss on the Extinction map in the Crater Forest region. The best thing about the Forest Titan is that can be tamed by destroying its 3 Corruption Nodes.
Hopefully, this guide has helped you out in the best way.
