Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a kentrosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a kentrosaurus.
Eats Compy Kibble. Usually spawn near the bottom of mountains. When using kibble, no narcotics are required. A level 80 will eat about 21 compy kibble during x1.5 on offical servers. About 7 tranq darts were used to take down the level 80
This dino is the Lego of ark. One accidental bite with a huge enraged said giga. Kinda like our parents when we were young.
Kentro' CAN NOT be tamed with sweet veggie cakes. They don't eat them
I tamed one easy by knocking out with level 73 equus only taking 5 kicks to knock out then feed ,up if this was helpful
Don't knock these buggers out while your impaled, you'll be stuck on it until it's tamed!
I just thought it was a baby stego or smting
Taming this Dino without kibble is like having a baby, hella annoying hella time consuming and way more expensive than it should be
So I attacked it with a wolf and I got took off the wolf by it then it grabbed wolf with tail and took 6000 hp damage with two shakes of its tail
think they'd be great for base defense
Every kentrosaurus I've tamed ate only savoroot BEFORE touching any other crops during the taming process. They do have a preference!
As far as I know, this does not take sweet veggie cake! We tried taming one with sweet veggie cakes and it never did accept them.
You must use these on pvp servers they are the best tame for fighting gigas because they deflect damage back to enemies if attacked by melee attacks so it will fill up the rage bar of the giga really quick and then it will turn on its owners and it will still attack you but it will attack its owners until dead so highly recommend taming these - A.L.N.A
So, the way to knock one out with no problems is to well quite simply go on a elevated bit of land like a small cliff or big rock.
Just get them to chase you into a Dino trap/cage then tranq arrow them
Make a quick 4x4 box 2 doorways high. Add a ramp and get this dino to chase you into the box. Get out and dart it till it's out. Easy.
Easy tame just level up speed a little bit and get about 15 tranq arrows and shoot it multiple time while walking away.
Get on a Deinonychus or a Baryonyx, or even a high speed Raptor to tranq it. Do not let it catch you; it will impale and take away most fast mounts, and it's packmate will likely take you along for one final, painful ride.
If you have a wyvern, you can lure the Kentro under its neck, then place two spike walls between the wyvern's head and wingtips to trap it. Then dismount and fire tranquilizers between the wyvern's legs to down the Kentro.
try avoid them catching you on its tail
Stegos grouchy little brother, and who says little brothers aren't annoying huh? Think again when this thing charges you while screaming hysterically
Wiki.seems to have incorrect info time from time, maybe due to updates however on p+ kentros will eat barley. a lvl ten will only take a minute to tame
