Taming Steps
1. Prepare your gear
Bring Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts, a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle, Narcotics or Narcoberries, and bug repellent.
2. Locate the creature
Find a wild Alpha Corrupted Master Controller on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.

Alpha Corrupted Master Controller — Background & Lore
The Alpha Corrupted Master Controller is the hardest difficulty of the final boss of Genesis: Part 1 in ASE. It is fought in the System Root, the boss arena of the Genesis simulation.
Where to find it
The System Root on Genesis: Part 1. Up to 10 survivors and 20 tamed creatures can enter.
How to get one
It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. To start the fight, talk to HLN-A, choose Arrival Protocol and pick Alpha. The survivor who starts the teleport must have completed at least 168 missions (58 for Gamma, 116 for Beta).
Uses
It drops the 
Master Controller Trophy and the 
VR Boss Flag, and each difficulty unlocks its own set of Tek items, such as the 
Tek Replicator and 
Tek Shoulder Cannon on Alpha.
Tips
- Phases: four phases, each with a 15-minute limit. It is invulnerable until the final phase, and even then its shield only drops while survivors deliver data keys to the codebreaker terminal.
- Health: 150,000 base health on Alpha, against 25,000 on Gamma and 60,000 on Beta.
- Preparation: the mission count for Alpha takes time, so work toward it early.
