Encountering Tips

How do I kill a kentrosaurus? kentrosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It's a smaller stego with lots of spikes. I do not recommend petting it.
He took me on a trip across the map...Don't agro them
First encounter: I saw one and thought it was a mutated stego, I legit cried when it started chasing me and focking ran like I was in the walking dead 💀. My pants went from dry as a desert to a dam ocean
These and therizinos… I swear the hostile herbivores in the game are scarier than most of the carnivores.
Haha funni spiky stego make giga rage
Be very careful, these things are wicked strong attackers. I watched one take out a whole trio of all Allasaurs at once!
! WARNING ! They are territorial. If you get too close to the Kentrosaurus, it WILL attack.
If you accidentally press E and happen to land on these things just pretend it's a mobile giant Lego piece. It will make the experience at least more bearable
Those little things somehow have huge anger issues and will attack you as soon as they see you. They are not chill guys like the Stego
These thing are basically living spike walls, they impaled my dodo, so I got out my lvl.378 Rex, Fully imprinted, 60k+ health, 4000 melee, 215+speed. And killed it, for now on when I’m on my Rex, I’m going to slaughter every kentro I see, with my Rex I’m finna slaughter it. #Remembering josh the dodo..
If ya get to close to them,your dead meat because if you get to close they will attack you and your pets
So after a great day out in the abb zone, murdering spino after spino, karkino after karkino, even taking down an alpha karkino, Me and my wyvern were ready to head home to a heroes welcome BUT....I was unfortunate enough to run out of stamina half way and landed next to two of these pricks (no pun intended). Ember was dead before she could catch a single breath...
They do percentage based damage and with the ability to stop you moving, these things are actually more dangerous than a giga...
It's best to leave them alone unless you want to tame them. They act like spike walls, so you and your dino take damage when you melee it, and it's a lot of damage, even low level ones do a lot. If you want to kill one, it's best to use ranged attacks like a gun or a wyvern blast.
Found in northern part of map near and around mountains. DON’T get too close or they will attack regardless of what mount you have!!! Taming one of these takes a long time.
Don't get impaled by this guy, does a fair amount of damage and will get you stuck for 10 seconds.
for those who thinks that they’re nice like the stegos, no. they’re NOT NICE. they are one little angry bugger. get too close on em and they’ll gave chase like someone’s on friday night.
Kentrosaurs do 25% damage with their secondary attack, no matter how much health your tame has
They swim fast in water so if you can't carry them they can follow you in the water if your on like a baryonyx. Up if this helps.
If you find yourself stuck on their tail you better hope you have a shotgun at hands reach.
DO NOT ATTACK WHEN ON A GIGA, YOUR GIGA WILL CLAP YOU IN HALF A SECOND
