Tips & Strategies

What are tips for ceratosaurus? Tips and strategies for ceratosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
It takes 10 extraordinary kibbles in official x2 for lv 150,
probably 20 in x1
It is confirmed, I have one on valguero:D
This dino is very fast! If you’re not trying to tame it, get out of the way!!
As far as I see it, you should use a high grade tame to farm the spines, about 100 spines should suffice for a 150, then make 10 cocktails. Once you find your cerato, use that same high grade tame, about maybe 5500 HP or more, and force feed the tame cocktails until the cerato becomes drunk while attacking it, then it becomes a passive tame.
Are these bugged? was getting bit by one once I ate the cocktail and they weren’t getting drunk
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.
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.
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)
Fastest way to tame. Pick up with bug while bug armor is active. Use the elixir on bug. The dino will attack bug really fast and never miss a hit have a tribemember nearby to heal with daedon or or use a high hp bug 12k hp and capped saddle. You will use 2 to 3 elixers on a 150. Once drunk drop on the ground in a trap and feed it kibble.
Ok so use 8 coctail and 19 kibble
The best place to find these are to just go to the mini island on the top right / Carno island (the island)
You should say if you need to knock them out or if you need to keep them alive and follow them until they are tamed.
If your using ark additions on evolved, on x4 taming it takes 3 regular kibble. (For noobs: that’s the dark blue one)
Level 40 female ceratosaurus took 2 hemoglobin cocktails and 4 extraordinary kibbles
Make sure you have levels up or you well get a 40 as max wild it happened to me. Use the hobgoblin cocktail get a tanky Dino like a sarco let the crato do damage to the creature to get it drunk then fed it kibble
