Quick answer:<\/strong> To tame a Ceratosaurus in ARK Survival Ascended you need level 60 and the Hemogoblin Cocktail: feed it to one of your creatures as bait, let the wild Ceratosaurus attack it until it is blood drunk, then feed it Extraordinary Kibble while it is awake, roughly once a minute. It is not knocked out with tranquilizers.<\/p>\n

Updated October 2026 for ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Ceratosaurus is a mid-sized carnivore from the ARK Additions mod, the first creature from that mod brought into the official game. Its venom heals it based on the enemy’s health and, once tamed, it also heals nearby allied carnivores. It also lays extraordinary eggs with no special conditions.<\/p>\n

How to tame a Ceratosaurus step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Reach level 60 to unlock the Hemogoblin Cocktail. It is crafted with Cerato Venom Spines, dropped by wild Ceratosaurus when killed.<\/li>\n
  2. Pick a bait creature with lots of health and a good saddle, such as a Stegosaurus or Rock Elemental, and clear the area. Put it against a natural wall.<\/li>\n
  3. Feed the cocktail to your bait: for 180 seconds it attracts wild Ceratosaurus.<\/li>\n
  4. Let the Ceratosaurus attack the bait until it is fully blood drunk. High-level ones need at least 3 cocktails; do not leave gaps between them or the progress is lost.<\/li>\n
  5. While the drunk state lasts (10 minutes), feed it Extraordinary Kibble from the last hotbar slot about every 60 seconds until it finishes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ceratosaurus taming food and taming calculator<\/h2>\n

    These numbers come from ARK’s taming formula for a level 150 Ceratosaurus. The 1x column is the official rate and the 8x column is Tharyon’s rate. They are estimates: hitting the sleeping creature or a game patch can change them slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Where to find the Ceratosaurus in ARK Ascended<\/h2>\n

    It is found on most official ARK Survival Ascended maps; Scorched Earth has fewer since its spawns were cut by about half. It is a mid-sized theropod with a horn on its snout that attacks on sight, so try to spot it before it spots you.<\/p>\n
