Tips & Strategies
Special attack: If you hold Right-click while above 75% speed, or right-click from a slide after reaching 75% speed, your Cerato will perform a more powerful horn thrust attack
Boss Healer - The Ceratosaurus's "blood explosion" heals creatures more the more the Cera attacK
Cerato can turn to bite opponents to their side. They also have a spine attacks or horn thrust. You can attack opponents to your side or behind you with the tail spin. These attacks are how you apply the venom debuff/dot.
10 hemoglobin for a 150 on 1x offical server about 1 minute between feedings and 5.7 taming each feeding does not stay drunk takes 5 hemoglobin first round then 5 more the second using ascended kibble. Keeps taming effectiveness for second round
Most of them you'll find next to volcano by the river and carno Island. You can use a stego to tame them just make sure the health is over 20k, at best 30k so that you don't die from it. It took about 5 to 6 of the hemoboglin to get it drunk 100% for a 150. Make sure to be facing this dino so that it can start getting drunk.
The Cerato Venom Spine can also be dropped by the wild baby. So kill them as well.
It takes 10 extraordinary kibbles in official x2 for lv 150,
probably 20 in x1
This thing is official now I think.
On the island I tamed the modded version using a daedon with a decent saddle. Daedon can heal off the damage it does.
Don’t try to tame it until you have extraordinary kibble—with prime or mutton it takes a VERY long time and a lot of feeds, and he’ll sober up and you have to repeat the drunkening process a second time.
Found some at Carno Island and the Volcano.
Just finished taming on on official, a racer works well, or a stego, and bring 3-4 of the brews if you’re doing anything above 130 2 ran out too quickly and the cerato resets it’s drunk was quickly (just feed it to your Dino like a pheromone and let the cerato attack, once it’s 100% hop off and feed kibble)
Easy to get drunk if you have a Rhy Bug, pick it up, active the hemoglobin cocktail while you transport to a safe location, drop once drunk and feed in safety.
If you're early game and want a cerato as early as possible but can't or won't find a baby or you can't kill the cerato just lead it to something that It will fight (I would personally go for a theri since they spawn in the same rough areas) and then collect the venom spines from its bag ;)
If you want to tame yourself one of these my personal favourite creature to tank hits is a 100% imprint Archelon. high HP and Resistances make it an absolute wall against all hits.
Scoop up your wild Cerato with your Rhynio.
Feed Rhynio the Hemoglobin cocktail.
Cerato will attack the Rhynio while you carry it to a safe spot wait until fully drunk then do the passive tame in the safe location.
For official servers on x1. You’ll need 8 hemoglobin and 20 extraordinary kibble. Always bring extras.
I assume many here are taming Cera's on 2x+ so beware. Over here on 1x official, prepare to bring over 10 Hemoglobin Cocktails and 15+ Ascendant kibble for a 140. Its drunkenness will run out at around 33-40% taming, so prepare to have a good soaker/30k Rock elemental with a good saddle to have to get a 140 drunk 3 times.
Wouldn't recommend taming these on 1x.
Just saw one 150 female on island. Another 145 on scorched.
I think they use carno spawns but if they don’t please punch the dirt if I am right shoot the sky
Took about 4 hemoglobin to get it 100% it should only take 3 but it’s a bit glitchy. 20 extraordinary kibble for a 145 on an official server. Had to get it drunk twice.
Counter feed meat against its damage! Makes a big difference
Haven’t finished raising yet but on small tribes they have the same incubation time as wyvern eggs, seems like they may be the nee and improved Rex 😂
For finding these on official, I have accidentally stumbled upon a load of them in scorched earth as well, to the mountain ranges in the west by the wyvern trench. 34lat, 25lon. Gather those spines up, take a rhynio if you can and hemoglobin that sucker while you carry it to your pen. Happy hunting.
