Baby: The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
More about breeding the Astral Boaratos
Instead of laying eggs, the Astral Boaratos carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 7 hours and 56 minutes at default rates.
After hatching or birth, the baby Astral Boaratos matures over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 10 hours at 1x maturation. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
The Astral Boaratos's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~494 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~33h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~41h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Astral Boaratos gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.
Planning a mass raise? The Astral Boaratos raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~494 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple Astral Boaratos simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
The Astral Boaratos is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.
With 15,000 base Health, the Astral Boaratos is an absolute bullet sponge. Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Stamina sits at 400 base, providing solid stamina reserves. A base Weight of 500 means an enormous weight pool.
The Astral Boaratos roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Killing a wild Astral Boaratos yields 750 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
