Use a stego since they are easier to tame. Once on a stego they can’t dismount you, just put it in hardened mode and pull out your crossbow and go to work. ^ for more 0 to 100 tips.

Ceratosaurus is a wonderful tame to have, and are even valid to use in boss fights so here is a a guide to help you have an easier time taming this beast. P.S. this is my favorite carnivore.
1. In order to tame this you will need ceratosaurus spines, which you get from killing and looting ceratosaurs. On official you will probably want to gather a little more than 200 (enough to get it drunk twice) if you are going for a high level. After gathering these spines you will need to combine them with narcotic and bloodpacks to make hemogoblin (yes, it’s really spelled that way in the game) cocktails, which you can unlock at lvl 60.
2. After you have however many of these you will need, (the rate of it getting blood drunk is affected by both level and taming speed modifiers), you will probably want to get extraordinary kibble. This is because if you use anything else, not only will the effectiveness be lower, but the ceratosaurus will stop being drunk around ten minutes after it gets drunk, so you will have to get it drunk more times because it is slower. However, if that’s something you are willing to do, you can tame it with mutton and prime meat.
3. Once you have the hemogoblin cocktails and the food, you will need to get a tanky tame. All you really need is something with a very good saddle, reduced damage of some form (like trikes when taking hits from the front), or a huge amount of health. A combination of all 3 is a safe bet. In order to tame these, you will first feed the hemogoblin cocktail to your Dino, and then let the ceratosaurus hit it. Make sure to clear the area first to prevent interruptions.
4. Some tips to help you tame as quickly as you can: the more hits a ceratosaurus can get on you the quicker it tames, so having a tame that won’t take huge knockback or is up against a wall will let it more continually hit you. It’s thorns also counts as a hit, so you can bite it to increase its speed of getting drunk, however be careful not to kill it. (I only recommend doing this if you have something that does barely any damage and I warn against getting it below half health just in case something else shows up). They can be picked up by rhinios so you can use one to move it to a safer spot.
Sorry this tip is so long, it’s a pretty complicated process,
Happy taming!
When you encounter a Giga you die
If you are currently in midair with a thyla (it dismounted you from your mount) and you are trying to kill the thyla before you land on the ground and the thyla starts attacking you, equip a melee weapon, look up and start swinging as your melee attacks will start hitting the thylas head dealing 1.5x damage
If you don't look up or move your camera in any other direction, your melee attacks will hit nothing as the only direction you can move your camera while midair with a thyla is up or down and ironically the only hitbox you can reach while in that state is the thylas head
Everyone needs to know and it is dev confirmed that Oviraptors DO NOT buff chances of mutations or twins or triplets. This is a long going myth that needs to be shut down. Any twins or triplets you are getting is purely coincidence. This was said by one of the devs on twitter!
(MOBILE) Want an easy, very risk free and extremely fast way of knocking out one?
(I assume you said yes).
1. Get a speedy water mount, preferably a ichthy
2. Find your desired mosasaur
3. Find nearby ammonites.
4. Trigger ammonite rage
5. Get the mosasaur aggro’d on to you
6. Lead the mosasaur to shore, when you have rage, mosasaurs completely ignore their depth limits. If rage runs out, get rage again and continue from where you left off.
7. Once the mosasaur is near shore and very high up, essentially next the beach, lose your aggro on it by waiting for the rage to run out. Just make sure the mosasaur doesn’t leave the beach area.
8. The mosasaur is now stuck there, he cannot attack nor move because his pathfinding is broken and he cannot calculate where to go.
9. Knock out and tame your mosasaurus, should be hard to do either because you’re at the beach and the mosasaur can’t move.
10. Up this strategy because it’s easy and effective.
Tamed 2 ( lvl 125 and lvl 90 ) did some upgrading mostly to health and melee. Turned my back to cook some meat. Hear scary music, see lvl 130 Rex's corps just flying over my head.
These things are a GODSEND for water exploration! Their saddle is expensive but while riding it YOU DON’T NEED AN OXYGEN TANK. Other than the Grand Tortugar (Astraeos exclusive) this is the ONLY TAME THAT HAS THIS. They are also COMPLETELY IMMUNE TO JELLYFISH AND GAIN DAMAGE BUFFS WHEN THEY KILL ONE! Absolutely Goated tame!
If you have a group of 3 or more tamed then the highest level will become an alpha which will give it a new attack and bleed effect.
I don’t know why I should be telling you this but I just tamed my first trike. I’m overjoyed. It was very hard for me and I almost died, but I tamed him. Ignore this if you want.
