Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a ceratosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ceratosaurus.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Kill the adult and Reprint again mamalians
The best way to tame them in my opinion is to tame 2 archelon (if you either have the mod or when they are added to offical) and breed a few of them. Imprinted turtles have so much health they are amazing for this tame. Higher quality saddles are fairly easy to find in (purple?) drops which help the drunkness process more
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.
They eat meat after tame.
Since everyone else is just saying find and adopt an orphan Cerato,it seems to fall to me to tell you how to actually tame a Cerato. Firstly,you’re gonna want to kill some Ceratos for their spines,get your own blood packs and make narcotics to create Hemogoblin Cocktails. Those will be your first step towards taming one. Secondly,you’ll need to take your most durable mount and feed it the cocktails and take to somewhere where Ceratos spawn and get them to attack your mount. While Cerato doesn’t exactly hit the hardest,it surely attacks quickly so make sure the mount your taking also has loads of HP. Eventually you’ll see an indicator showing how close the Cerato you want is to getting drunk. It’s always helpful to carry more cocktails on you in case you’re running out of time. Once the Ceratos gotten completely drunk,it’s like any other passive tame from there.
Hope this helped in some way.
Use a deinotherium, when drunk, the cerato will often stay stuck in deino legs, which is easier to feed and safier
You don’t need to be underground to hatch these eggs or use air conditioners. Just use a tent
If you see a good one and aren't prepared to tame it right away, just knock it out. It will buy you a couple of hours to get ready.
Super easy tames currently with 2X on official.
Feed the hemogoblin to a brachiosaurs to tank the damage ( Brachiosaurus is also from ark additions)
To tame a 150 your going to need about 25-30k health and 4-5 hemos, takes at least 10 minutes to get drunk definitely use kibble or mutton
Should include a few more words
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.
THE CERATOSAURUS
IN ORDER TO TAME A CERATOSAURUS:-
THINGS YOU'LL NEED:-
1. A tanky dino that has atleast over 15k health.
2. Cerato Venom Spines that you can get by killing Ceratos, Narcotics and Blood Packs.
3. Raw Prime Meat or Raw Mutton or Raw Meat or Extraordinary Kibble.
METHOD:-
STEP 1:
Combine the Cerato Venom Spines with Narcotics and Blood Packs. You'll get Hemogoblin Cocktail.
STEP 2:
Now, put it in your dino's inventory and then consume it.
STEP 3:-
Get the attention of the Ceratosaurus. Let it attack your dino. There will be written in red 'Drunk __%'.
STEP 4:
Continue the process from STEP 3.
STEP 5:
When it'll show 'Drunk 100%', feed it Raw Prime Meat or Raw Mutton or Raw Meat or even Extraordinary Kibble.
You have a Ceratosaurus :D
FACTS:-
F1: It has progressing movement speed making it the fastest dino in ARK, surpassing the Gallimimus and the Carcharodontosaurus.
F2: It has a Bloodburst attack that bleeds dinos.
F3: It has a Horn attack and a Tail Whip attack.
F4: It is kind of a choice in the Broodmother boss fight but the Megatheriums are still better.
THANK YOU TO SEE THIS TIP AND ENJOY YOUR NEW CERATOSAURUS :)
OUR PREVIOUS PRO TIP:- THE CRITICAL
CARCHARODONTOSAURUS
Just a reminder: they don't stay drunk forever. Depending on what you use to tame them, they will sober up before the taming is finished. Tame them with kibble just to ensure you won't have to do it all over again just to finish the taming. I ended up having to use 6 hemoglobins (3 on the first try, 3 on the second) on only one just bc I first tried to tame it with prime meat.
