Breeding the X-Cryolophosaurus produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 12°C and 16°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby X-Cryolophosaurus matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 7 days and 17 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~1111 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~74h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~93h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted X-Cryolophosaurus gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising X-Cryolophosaurus babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~1111 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale X-Cryolophosaurus raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

The X-Cryolophosaurus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Variant classification.

Starting at 485 Health, it's moderately tough. Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Cryolophosaurus brings solid damage output to the table. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it good endurance. A base Weight of 500 means an enormous weight pool.

Taming the X-Cryolophosaurus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the X-Cryolophosaurus is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 12°C and 16°C. A wild X-Cryolophosaurus is worth 30 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.94 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
