Concavenator

The Concavenator is a desert carnivore added to ASA that travels through sand, bursts out of dunes and hunts in packs. Wild ones ambush from below; tamed ones make strong desert mounts.

Where to find it

It lies buried in dunes and desert sand on Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Extinction and Astraeos in ASA.

Taming

• Method: a passive, non-violent tame done by riding it.
• Stun it: set off an explosive such as a C4 Charge or a rocket near a buried Concavenator to force it out of the sand.
• Ride it: mount it before the stun wears off, then jump and press the matching direction keys for each arrow prompt before the timer ends.
• Bucked off: stun it again and repeat until the bar is full.

Breeding

It lays eggs that hatch in about 5 hours. A baby takes about 1.9 days to mature at 1x.

Uses

• Travel: it travels underground and shields its rider from sandstorms.
• Combat: its sand cloud slows targets, and its tail attacks launch enemies into the air or slam them down and pin them.
• Packs: the highest-level Concavenator in a pack gets a Pack Leader buff with bonus melee damage and damage resistance.

Tips

The Conca Saddle needs level 67. Tricks while jumping out of the sand fill a boost bar for extra damage and resistance.
