Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carcharodontosaurus.
DONT TRAP THEM it messes with their ai horribly! instead take a baby rex (newborn) and wait a few seconds if you let it out of a cryo so it doesn’t mesh then kill it and drag it’s body to the carcha let the body go and run when it does the sniff animation it should be instantly trusting towards you and all you have to do is ride and go on a killing spree to tame its a lot easier than people seem to think
Baby rexes and full grown ones full the bar completely

Short Tip: Baby Carcharodontosaurus give more xp then gigas.
Baby giga is also an insta trust.
After you trap one you can use a pachyrhinosaurus too attract a bunch of wild stuff to you then kill them and feed it for the taming.
Trap it, kill and drag a couple woolly rhino corpses to it. Do not drop the corpse, it will sniff then eat. You must make the kills. You can then ride it briefly and kill things to give taming progress. You can sacrifice tames for this. Doesn't seem to work with babies. Use caution, it's highly aggressive during the entire process and can hit you while you're feeding or dismount you while riding and attack you. As it makes kills, it gets a bloodrage buff that massively spikes damage output.
Seems to get a larger friendship boost from dead carbonemys, trikes are pretty close second....definitely recommend killing your own tames for food because if you hunt the friendship timer goes down way too fast
I’ve experimented with taming these multiple times. It’s pretty easy once you have the hang of it. What I do is build four behemoth gateways and attach the gates to them (people say dinosaur gates work too, but I haven’t tested them yet so I don’t know). Make sure they are made of metal so that the carcha doesn’t damage them. Have a space where you can escape and also so you can enter and exit (this is relevant later). Open the gate that you want the carcha to enter, and at the end of the trap, put large bear traps down. Then, shoot at it or whatever to lure the carcha into your trap and make your escape through the small space. When it’s in the bear trap, SHUT THAT DAMN DOOR AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Make sure there are NO gates open. Now that the hard part is done, get an army or a flier that carries stuff and scatter a bunch of animals around. Get as many as possible. This is relevant later. Then, kill a ton of animals and drag the corpses into the trap where the carcha is. Get out of render distance so it’ll eat the corpses, and after eating, the carcha will be a little ornery. This is normal. Keep feeding it corpses until the trust meter turns green. With the animals you scattered, kill them while riding the carcha until it is tamed. If you have to search for more animals to kill, do so.
If you tamed the carcha, congratulations!! You’ve done it!
If the time that the dinosaur is chill is running out and it’s not close to being tamed, ride the carcha back into your trap and close the doors. Repeat the process.
This is how I did it throughout all my experiments and taming my pets. They’re cool asf and worth the stress and heart attacks.
Bugged as hell. Prepare to die lots and spend hours raging trying to tame these asshats. If anything can go wrong, it will. Enjoy
Best way to tame is bear trap and baby rex once u get trapped throw baby rex and kill it and feed it then use rare flowers to attract everything in the area
Their eggs make yellow Excptional kibble.
Step 1: trap it with help from bear traps
Step 2: get a stock pile of dead bodies (turtles and Andrew worked best for me)
Step 3: tame it
Note: my server has 5x taming and a 30min decomp time
If I see one more person call this a giga I'm going to scream! Wildcard doesn't have to make anything for us because ark is already a great game but here they are giving is this beauty and ark 2 so i don't care you wanted a bison just deal with it you haven't even seen ot in game so yoi have 0 reasons to be complaning!!!

I'm not gonna lie to you so please take this into mind.I think these bad boys are better than gigas.HEAR ME OUT.Gigas take loads of tranqs to knock ot and they wake up REALLY quickly.Where as charchars you don't even have to knock out.Plus charchars have a frenzy buff that allows them to do more damage and have increased speed. I like the giga but I think Charchars are just better.
Got one to half trust but then aggroed on me and lost my argy and my brother and nearly my own life

People who says this is really just a giga remake your wrong it has a completely different ability’s and probably size and it got 2nd in two creature votes If I new how to vo.te this is what I probably would of voted for and Wilde card is doing it for us so respect this update also I heard the tameing Method includes a shotgun I think and a shield I think you have to make it lose its teeth some how Plus I have a feeling it will be like the ark additions acro hope this helps people to respect this creature more.
Don’t cryo sick them… sleep for hours
From what i’ve seen so far is you have a baby diplo it’s an instant trust aswell as a baby rex
