Heads up you don't get the venom spikes from killing tamed babies.
Tamed a 150 with 2x rates took about 29 prime meat used a rockgolem with a good saddle and drunker it out three times
I don’t now about this creature but I want to find it so that would be very helpful thank you 🤩🥹
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 aren't taming them, kill them or get out of there if you are not on the best tame. They quickly attack and overwhelm you if you let them.

Me and my tribe mate knocked one out and last night I realise it was a passive tame. Is there a cheap way to tame it
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.
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.
Don’t know where else to put this but why isn’t acrocanthosaurus on dex. It’s coming to the official game from garugas mod. It now has a new asa model and new mechanics like the fake roar. Not sure why I’m saying this just felt like it.

Haven't seen anyone recommend this. Bring Cakes or Meat. You can mitigate about 1/3 or more if damage by constantly feeding.
My thyla with 8k hp and a primitive saddle was about to get a 150 drunk.
I was just today pöaying ark when I had some annoying bisons around my base and decided to öure a rex to kill them. The rex killed them but they had a baby bison woch I imprinted and brought him to my base. What happened next was that I went to take some berries for hom and when I came back there was a cera sniffing him and didnt attack it, the system was bugged and the cera was lagging and didnt attack my babay bison but when I tried luring it away it kilöed some brontos and came bacl to the exact same place. I didnt know what to do and the second time I lured him away he went straight to attack my bison rip to bob.
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.
It has a venom DoT effect which stacks nicely with carnivores with the bleed effect. It is also very fast, so feel free to go adventuring/hunting on a thylacoleo with this guy as your backup. Most significantly, it has a healing ability, so it looks like a high level with HP and Melee would do well amongst a group of t-rexes, potentially even in a boss battle. Very nice and easy tame too.
if youre planning on taming this and youre just starting out please get to a high enough level and make sure you tame a dino you absolutely dont want and give it the hemogoblin cocktail and feed it to the cerato just a freindly tip
If you are playing ASA then all you have to do is go looking for ceratos, find one with babies, slaughter the parents, and imprint on the ceratos (I recommend killing with thylacoleo.
Kill the adult and Reprint again mamalians
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
Use a deinotherium, when drunk, the cerato will often stay stuck in deino legs, which is easier to feed and safier
