Tips & Strategies
Aladar ain't gonna help you this time buddy. Be safe, bring a friend-as a distraction, of course.
Quick tip for new/replaying people, TAME A CARBONEMYS. They are super easy to find, very easy to get food for, easy to tranq, only kinda hard thing is getting a saddle for them. But if you get past that bit, you get a early game tank that can solo raptor packs. Now for the tip on the carnotauurus, get two carbonemys,(or one high hp one) and shoot tranq arrows at it while mounted on one. Put one of them on neutral, and let it attack the carno to distract it, and just shoot it over and over. Don’t get off the mount though, or else you die. If you got only one, you might just be fine shooting it while mounted if it’s got 3500+hp
I had one named stubs she was great until a therizino threw her off the red obelisk platform then megs finished her off R.I.P ;(
Don’t be scared of this little man.
I had a pack of level 10 raptors I just had gotten and we easily beat a level 2 Carno. Not only that but these dudes are such scaredy cats. You hit them a bit and they run as fast as possible when they are low.
Up so the noobs won’t be scared
I knocked one out but it’s not showing anything like taming rise stats, is it a glitch or is my player level too low ( I’m Lv 72 rn) any help would be greatly appreciated:))
A low level carno is actually easy to knock out I shot a lvl 10 3 times with my crossbow and boom, it was out I knocked out a lvl 90 with a crossbow and a longneck rifle. PROTECT THE NOOBS!
This is one of the easiest to tame dangerous creatures and one of the more helpful carnivores in the game. It has speed to chase down fast herbivores, it’s a great prime meat gatherer, and it has an easy and quick kibble for powerful creatures like dire wolves. Definitely a good choice for a person taming their first dangerous dinosaur.
A quick tip some times the dino ai in this game act dumb so sometimes they get stuck on rocks or trees if this happens knock the carno out and feed it raw meat however make sure you stay near it cuz I left before and i came back to a dead carno ;(
There are 2 ways you can tame a carno,one can be used for people who has alot of points invested into movement speed,or you can build a trap which is much safer than the first taming method.
1-The first way is more dangerous but costs less and needs less peperation,but the second needs more preparation but is safer than the first),for people with alot of points into movement speed(like I said)how this method works is,first your movement speed needs to be atleast 130-150 or more,as they are a bit slower than a raptor,so,you first attract it's attention by using tranq darts or tranq arrows(for super low levels sling shots MAYBE can be used)but the wooden club is out of the question.
You atract it's attention,then start pelting it with your house or tranq ammo,then when it gets close to you run away from it,when it's atleast 5 meters away from you(about 3-6 foundations),start shooting it with tranq ammo,repeat this process and check it's torpor(it's process of getting knocked out/the purple thing that you view below it's hp with a spyglass),with a spyglass,when it's torpr reaches about 90% it will start to run and flee,then Persue it until it's knocked out.(SN:this method also works with a fast ground mount with some points into movement speed or a fast flying mount,example:raptor for ground mound and pteresaur/pterenadon)
2-build a 2x1 or 2x2 box with the walls being 1 wall high,atract it's attention,lure it into the trap(use a ground mount if it makes you feel safer,like raptor)once it's in the trap,pelt it with the tranq ammo of your choice.
2-whichever method you prefer,once it's knocked out,use narcotics or biotoxin(I prefer biotoxin imo)to keep it asleep,use either raw meat or prime meat for taming,and it ark mobile,use soothing balm with it,this is necessary if you want to tame a high level carno in ark mobile,this works in arks pc version,but thet no soothing balm there,idk what kibble in ark pc carno eats,but feed it,keep it asleep,and protect it with wooden spike walls if you want extra protection.
3-boom,you've got yourself a new and fresh carno,these guy's saddles unlock at level 46,and are monsters,slightly slower than a raptor but, better,more damage,more weight,and more health,if you want a good and powerful Dino in the early game,these guys are it,if have a high level carno,level 300+ preferebly,you can kill low level trexes eazily,but be careful,I think raptors can pull you off your carno with their pounce ability.

If you have a flyer get on a rock the carno can't reach or on multiplayer get a friend and a flyer and grab your friend and let him/she shoot the carno with anything that has torpor
How to kill a carno
Please note: this strategy only works if the carno is next to raft accessible waters
You will need: arrows, bow, and raft
1: based on the level difficulty, get as many arrows as you think you need
2: find a carno* on a raft and get within shooting range. Remember not to get to close
3: dismount your raft and prepare your bow
4: shoot it down
Hope this helps! This strategy worked for me with the no bola, better run mission.
* best place on mobile for carnos is the dead island
Because I’m an idiot, I forced my tribemate to help me kill an Alpha Rex I found. Well, that wasn’t a great idea. We landed on a cliff overlooking the Alpha and its turmoil, and began shooting with our crossbows. I HEAR STOMPING, OKAY, AND I TURN TO RUN TO MY PTERANODON BECAUSE I RECOGNIZE THE FOOT PATTERN—A Carnotaurus knocks us both off of the cliff and down where the Alpha is and I think you know what happened next..
Rookie taming method (worked first time):
1. Craft a larg bear trap (and about 15 tranq arrows)
2. Find a carno out In the open and easy to see/fire at
3.get carno to aggro on you (somehow) and walk into the trap
4. Tranq it quickly before it breaks out
5. Tame!!!
Dont be scared, just pelt it with tranqs while standing on a tall cliff, these guys just look frightening
OH and a thing you should know is these guys have have eagle ahh eyes so watch out while grinding with these mfs near.
A simple way to get these guys is to simply distract them with something delicious. Command something tanky (Ex. Carbonemys) to attack them, then set them to passive so they don’t kill the Carno. Then, you can pelt it with a slingshot or bow and tranq arrow until it goes down. They don’t have the biggest torpor stat, so raising it to max won’t take many tranq arrows (5 if it is extremely low level)
Good luck and have fun!
Hellooo
I just want to say why is everybody doing traps and stuff!!
All you need to do is get on a cliff or rock that it can’t reach you and shoot it with tranq/biotoxin or even with a slingshot you can do this with rexes and theris too.
