how to tame a forest titan ark ascended
To tame a Forest Titan in ARK: Survival Ascended , you first need to summon it at the Forest Terminal on Extinction, then damage the glowing shoulder nodes until the Titan collapses and can be claimed. The key is to focus on the nodes, not the body, because the tame progresses by breaking those weak points down.
How to do it
- Reach the Forest Terminal in the Forest Cave on Extinction.
- Bring the tribute items needed to summon it: 100 Corrupt Hearts, 10 Tyrannosaurus Arms, 10 Sauropod Vertebra, and 1 Artifact of Growth.
- Use an Exo-Mek if possible, since it makes targeting the nodes much easier.
- Shoot the floating orb on one shoulder until that arm drops off.
- Switch to the other shoulder orb and destroy it too.
- When the next orb appears under the chin, keep damaging it until the Titan falls, then interact to tame it.
Best tactics
- Aim for the glowing nodes only; hitting the body wastes time and can make the fight messier.
- The Titan is slow but has very long-range swipes, so keep moving and stay at a safe angle.
- An Exo-Mek’s main gun is commonly recommended because it helps you hit the targets more cleanly.
Console summon
If you just need the spawn command for testing or single-player, one guide
lists admincheat Summon ForestKaiju_Character_BP_C. Another ASA video guide
says the creature can also be spawned with a cheat GMSummon ... style
command, but the exact setup may vary by platform and server settings.
Map note
The Forest Titan is tied to the Extinction map and is one of the Titans from that expansion, not a random overworld tame. Recent ASA updates have also included Forest Titan-related fixes, which is a good sign that it remains actively supported in the game.
TL;DR
Summon the Titan at the Forest Terminal, bring the tribute items, use an Exo- Mek if you can, and destroy the glowing shoulder orbs, then the chin orb, until it falls and becomes tameable.
