About

Summon A Boss is a special tribute item that triggers a boss encounter when used. Admins use it to spawn boss fights without requiring players to collect tribute artifacts, making it useful for testing boss mechanics, running events, or providing direct access to end-game content.

Spawn it with the GFI code BossTributeEX using the standard cheat command. The item does not stack, so you'll receive one tribute per spawn command.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add the Summon A Boss to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_BossTributeEX 1 0 0 in your server's kit or spawn script, and set the quantity argument to hand out multiples. Pair it with other item commands from the Codex to build a full loadout.
What's the full blueprint path of the Summon A Boss?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Items/Tribute/PrimalItem_BossTributeEX.PrimalItem_BossTributeEX'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Items/Tribute/PrimalItem_BossTributeEX.PrimalItem_BossTributeEX'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
What is the Summon A Boss class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Summon A Boss by its class PrimalItem_BossTributeEX_C or GFI PrimalItem_BossTributeEX. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
Is the Summon A Boss blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Items/Tribute/PrimalItem_BossTributeEX.PrimalItem_BossTributeEX'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
Why isn't my Summon A Boss spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItem_BossTributeEX), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItem_BossTributeEX 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
Can I get the Summon A Boss without spawning it?
Yes. The Summon A Boss can also be obtained through normal ARK: Survival Ascended progression. Admins usually spawn it for speed when testing, running events, or outfitting players, which is what the commands on this page are for.

Both point at the same Summon A Boss.
How do I spawn the Summon A Boss as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
