Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Kentrosaurus based on your settings.

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Kentrosaurus. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Kentrosaurus first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Quetzal can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Kentrosaurus unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Kentrosaurus tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Kentrosaurus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

The Kentrosaurus is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Misc classification.

Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Starting at 650 Health, it's solidly tanky. With 300 base Stamina, the Kentrosaurus has decent staying power. It carries 500 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.

The Kentrosaurus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Kentrosaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–30°C temperature window. Killing a wild Kentrosaurus yields 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.37 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
