How do I kill a kentrosaurus? kentrosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Unlike the stegos, these are arseholes so dont go near them.
Meet the bad tempered giant saurian porcupine!
Shoulder-mounted dinos do not take return damage when biting the Kentro. A well-bred dimo can do serious damage if you happen to get stuck by one of these.
Whatever you do… do NOT get to close, or you’ll be taking free ride impaled on its spiky tail!!
I had a cool iguanadon, just minding his own business while I was building a trap on the plains... Meanwhile a kentro just waltzes up, from outta nowhere and murdered him... I didn't even know it happened until the news flashed at the top of the screen 'kentrosaurus killed your iguanadon' fml...😵💫
Not a good snack for your Giga, he'll eat you to wipe the bad taste
It will attempt to attack you
So be read
They do a lot of damage
As far as I know they reflect part of the damage back to the attacker
I learned that these guys have damage reflection the hard way! I went to Spain attack it with my level 208 2500 health Petra and it just stole its soul from its body. It wasn't even high level only a level 20!
The only way to kill a kentro and not get any of your tames hurt is, grenade him up. Any weapon from which you can kill it from a far distance counts. Good luck.
Do not battle this like a stego, lost my best sanertooth messin with them.
When will these be available on Mobile?
In the wild, take them down with Wyvern breaths or leave them alone.
If one of those is employed by enemies, make use of Compound Bows or Velonassaurs in case getting near isn't a possibility.
If you absolutely need to bite those things, use a Reaper King, as they reduce any source of damage - aside poisonous breaths - when not affected by light, including damage reflected by Arthropleuras and Kentrosaurus. Remember, damage reflection ignores saddles.
Dont walk into its line of sight. It will impale you and it will be up to your dinos to kill/KO it.
I was just casually strolling around on my mammoth and I thought it was a stegosaurus so I thought I hit it and then killed now I don't have a good dinosaur pray for me that Thiers another one around sometime
2 Kentros=1dead spino(l watch the battle)
If you see this bad boy do not engage it if you do try using a shield or a tamed carnivore
Just an Grumpy stego with to many spikes I lost a max level tek raptor to these guys
The only tip you need Is KILL ALL. It killed my otter, THEY. WILL. ALL. DIE.
Other wise avoid them unless you have a giga or some other big thing.
While battling a lone kentrosaurus or even a herd it is highly advised to use ranged weapons. Due to the kentrosaur’s slow movement speed and ability to reflect moderate melee damage using hand held weapons and attacks with smaller dinos can cause serious destruction to you and your tames.
