Tips & Strategies

This Tip has 3 segments: To find one, to tame one, and to escape one.
TO FIND CERATOSAURUS:
They are found for sure on The Island, Scorched Earth, and I’ve heard The Center.
The Island: I’ve found most them to be in jungles, near or on inland rivers, and Carno Island.
I’m not sure where on the other maps.
When you encounter them:
Be prepared for a long fight, they are very fast, attack fast, have lots of health, but have weak attack.
Be on a mount because they knock you back with their headbutt attack, and it can be hard to aim. They may be relatively weak, but are still a threat when you are alone.
To escape:
They are REALLY fast. The longer they run, the faster they go, so go in the water if you have a good swimming mount, like a iguanadon, which I used to kill one because they are great swimmers and you can fire from their back.
If there is no water, try running in circles until you get help, the ceratosaurus when running has a horrible turn radius, HOWEVER, they do have a spin attack and can turn 180 degrees when standing still.
Basically, just run in water, and if you can’t, you’re cooked.
Thanks for reading my tip, hope it helps.
More Ceratosaurus Encountering Tips
Always run into it, it can't hit you inside itself.
Pretty sure i saw one of these on the center...
The map spawn is incorrect. They spawn on both the Island and the Centre in addition to Scorched.
Yay it finally got a picture! It tool a while but it looks nice.
Ceratosaurus seem to share spawns with Carnotaurus so they should spawn on any map that has Carnos' on it.
they only spawn in ascended A tip should have few more words
These are found in The Island also with no mods. Like so the devs post that update!!!
Cerato spawns on Ragnorok (ASA) on the Island west of the swamp!
SIMPLE TAME: Find a ceratosaur and kill it. Use spines for cocktails. Feed your high health tame and feed it the cocktail. Set it to passive and find ceratosaur. Make it attack the dino. It will eventually get 100% drunk and then feed it meat. And boom, tamed. Up this if its useful
Yeah they say it can’t damage thatch that is a lie
