Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a carnotaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carnotaurus.
Use a raptor as a mount and you can easily outrun a Carno while shooting it with tranq arrows/darts. It's how I've tamed all my carnos.
If you want the Lazy, Easy way of taming one of these, Get it to Agro onto a Diplo then use a Slingshot or Tranq Arrows/Bullets and You got yourself a easy carno tame.
I only tame max level Carnos. Best way to find max levels is to go to carno Island and kill every carno till you come across your max level and then boom, easy tame!
Taming a carno is easy but knocking it out is very hard because it runs away fast when it is about to get knocked out. Best strat is to make a taming pen 2x2 stone platforms surrounded by stone door frames(2 walls high) and wooden ramps.
I used this way on Tanya the carno
It was actually really easy to tame! The one I tamed was distracted by a little dino and I shot him with narcotic arrows 4 times I believe and not even a stack of normal meat (I didn't use prime) and it took awhile, I gave mine a few narcotic 5-7 I believe hope this helps!
How to tame early on:
Find one and stalk it from a good distance and wait for it to attack something with a good sized health pool such as a stego and while they're fighting pelt it with tranq arrows, it will probably kill the other dino then start to run away, keep up with it and keep hitting it until it's knocked out
I almost died in the water because a carno was attacking me and my raptor charlie when i kept shooting its belly with a crossbow with 30 tranq arrows it ran and i knocked it out and left it there ( i dont know how tame it because i did not plan to tame it ) thankfully charlie did not die
Having a pack of Dilos is a good way to combat one early on: they can slow it down with their spit attack, they can be generally hard for it to consistently hit, and carnos focus more on dinos than humans so if you get ambushed chances are it might change focus to your dilos. It can be possible to kill a carno with just 2 dilos if they can take a hit and you provide cover fire with any ranged option.
Large bear traps and tranq arrows work great!
Don't fight it instantly Go build a trap from door frames and 2 Ramps Then Lead the crano there and There you go You got a carno
Tame a female scorpion in a cave then if you hit the carno fast enough it doesn’t aggro on you and it’s a free tame!
How to knock out without trap:1.Get a Crossbow and about 15 tranq arrows 2.Get a bait dinosaur(Optimally something tanky so it doesn’t die)3.get the bait dino close to the carno 4.Shoot the carno with the tranq arrows until its knocked out
Pretty good beginner dino, tamed a level 1 one just now-took 1 traq arrow from a cross bow to knock, 5 regular raw meat to tame, and I didn't even get hurt in the process. As well as doing a sufficient amount of damage to protect you, it has an ability to knock creatures back with its horns.
Just so people know Carnos can kill you off horses it happened to me on official
To tame these tiny armed Dino you should make a trap 4/6 fountains 2 thick 2 door frames high door frames because most Dino’s can’t fit in them but you can escape from all around and 4 wooden ramps so the carno can get in then you make the trap you can use wood but I would recommend stone carnos can’t brake stone and 2 cross bows or 4 bows and lots of nars especially if your on official normal u should be fine so how the taming goes so get your trap ready so shoot it with cross bow far away form it because it’s faster then you so when it about to hit you jump in to the trap when the carno is in get out and start nocking it out hope this was helpful for you all
Large bear traps are the most under used thing in the game. Get like 7 or 8 of the large variety and when you see a carno put one down between you and it, agro it, shoot transfer and rinse and repeat till he's down.
All you have to do is get your bow and tranq arrows and climb a rock and shoot it till unconscious then gather prime meat if don’t have kibble
If you want to tame a carno prefer using a crossbow and tanq arrows if your gonna take a high lvl one then your gonna need like 10-15 tanq arrows but they can get down pretty fast on lvl 1 cause you need only 2 tanq arrows and a cross bow/up so starters can see
Pretty easy tame. I recommend using an argentavis or desmodus to aggro it. Then fly away but stay in aggro range. Lure it to a nice sized rock that it cannot get on then land. Dismount on rock and use any gun you can equip tranq darts with to knock it out. once it starts running fly your mount to the ground, dismount again and keep shooting. You can totally tame this with one player it will just be slightly more difficult.
