Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a ceratosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ceratosaurus.
Yall guys need atleast 5 or 6 hemogoblin cocktails if yall wanna tame atleast a level 145 and u should use a stego with atleast like 40k hp theyre really strong and endurable use raw mutton.
Was able to claim some baby ones on Carno island just had to eliminate the parents
You can trap them just like Argys using metal gateways incase you need to make a run back to base for supplies,
Carno island is best spot to find them
Tamed a 150 on official. on Island
3x event took 7 extraordinary kibble.
Bring minimum 10 hemogoblin.
Administered hemogoblin( spelling error?) And when hemogoblon was down below 10 seconds fed more but the timer runs down to zero. So the hemogoblin is active but the timer registers as zero. This makes it very difficult to know when to feed more. Maybe glitch during event?
Also don't let your dino get stuck, mine got stuck on a wall and the ceratosaurus drunk meter went from around 50 back down to 0. Had to jump off and whistle to follow to get unstuck.
It is so much easier to dispatch the mother and get the baby and if you are killing them I recommend using sicle with flack arumor it works
It actually uses EXTRAORDINARY Kibble on our Server. Don't waste effectiveness with Superior Kibble.
If you are aiming to tame one, you can find a Cerato with a baby, kill it, imprint on the baby, and done. HOWEVER, if you don’t want to, and want to tame one normally, you first have to make a hemogobin cocktail, apply it to your creature that is preferably a tank with over 5000 HP depending on the level, and let the Cerato hit your creature while the effect is going. The Ceratosaurus will become “drunk” and passive, allowing you to hand feed it just like you would with a Moschops, but it’s preferred food is extraordinary kibble or raw mutton or raw prime meat.
Intoxicate them without consent, and feed it addictive food while it's intoxicated, 10/10 taming method, (thats how I met my friend)
You need 4-5 hemoglobin to get it drunk once.(2 times at least to fully tame it)
Use a stego with hard plates and decent saddle.
Prime meat is 6% on 3x rates. Exceptional kibble 16%
Used one kibble and prime meat to get it to 57% until it became sober again.
For prime meat the interval is 1 min.
To tame them easily, kill the parent and use an argentavis to carry the baby or just use a cryopod to also grab the baby.
Will not get drunk if in a trap.
150 F cerato took 8 hemoglobins and 20 extraordinary kibble on 1X to tame. Took 4 to get it drunk.
Tamed a 150 with 2x rates took about 29 prime meat used a rockgolem with a good saddle and drunker it out three times
The best way to tame one is to get a creature that can tank a lot of hits and make sure you have at least for hemoglobin for a max level and then I personally use my bronto that has 40 K health and a platform saddle, the higher, the armor rating the better but I just let the Cerato attack me and then I can dismount and help defend it from the platform saddle and I’ve consistently been able to tame 150s without worry of my bronto dying just make sure you pay attention to how long each hemoglobin has left so you can use another one if needed
Heads up you don't get the venom spikes from killing tamed babies.
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 ;)
there everywhere around green obelisk
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
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.
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.
