Running the Alpha boss fight on Valguero on an unofficial server. (Aesir Neo Arcadia) Notably we accomplished this before transfers opened up, so no OP max health & melee dinos or reapers, heh.
We got extremely lucky that things worked out very well in this fight. The recording software fucked up and didn't record the first few minutes of the fight, which features us trying to coax the dragon in before megapithecus aggroed on me and we decided to fight him first. By some miracle ARK took pity on us and we were able to just fight all the bosses one-by-one.
Worth noting that this fight went even smoother than when I fight gamma solo - having player-driven therizinos is so much more effective than hoping that AI bothers to eat their own veggie cakes. There was surprisingly little damage on any of the dinos that we took into the fight, probably thanks in large part to how the bosses were very cooperative in fighting us one at a time, or in manticore's case, not at all heh.
Big thanks to all the cool kids who came along for this fight. Definitely made it much less terrifying having competent players for this fight instead of praying that AI does what it's supposed to.
