Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a carnotaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carnotaurus.
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
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
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.
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

Well done you have a carno have fun with it just be carful they aren’t that much stronger than a pack of raptors
Carnos can stuck between trees like Trikes. I was lucky I got a Carno Lvl 60 at Hidden Island between a couple of trees. 10 tranq shots later she (a female Carno) was mine 😊
This thing is a good tame in between a raptor and a allosaurus…it’s stronger than a raptor but weaker than a allosaurus
EZ Trap-less Taming Method
⚠️Do not attempt this if the Carno is in a pack!⚠️
Ride a raptor with your taming weapon of choice, preferably a bow + tranq arrows or better. As long as your raptor isn’t encumbered you can out run the Carno! I suggest pumping some movement speed points in your raptor but this is not necessary (I didn’t). Shoot the Carno with your tranqs and chase it once it flees. They’ll be knocked out and then you’re free to tame it! I did this on a lvl. 55 female Carno and it worked (I named her Éclair).
If your up against a lvl 5 carnivore or something it usually has about 450 torpor so around 10 tranq arrows would be enough, if you have a trike and your shooting arrows from it you will probably be fine as long as the trike has more health than the carno. I hope this helps starters!
I don’t know if this is just me but I feel like the carno is a fairly easy tame to get once you have a bow and a mount you can shoot off the back of
Are you annoyed of dying while trying to kill these things? We’ll not to worry! This is easy ways to tame a caos stubby arm ahh carnivore 😀👍
Way 1. Traps, make it out of stone, get 2 wooden ramps and a few stone doorways (NOT DOUBLE FRAME) make it about 3 foundations wide and 4 foundations long place the wooden ramps on each side and knock it out :)
Way 2. If you don’t wanna do this 👆🏻 Way do this way! If you have a flyer or you can outrun a carno, So if you see there’s lots of trees together in a tight space or a rock or 2 that can get one stuck try and get the carno stuck between though this isn’t the safest way it’s a way yk
Way 3. Park ur flyer on a tall rock, recommending a rock that is big enough when you hop off ur flyer YPU don’t get flung off the rock, make sure there’s no slanted areas on the rock where the carno can run up and if there isn’t try to keep ur distance back on the rock because though ur up high it can still sometimes hit you.
ANYWAYSS I hope this helped you in taming a carno :D
Up if this helped :))

To knock them out find one put all your stuff in a storage bin get a bow/cross bow and tranq arrows to knock it out run and hit it with your bow/cross bow. To tame it just get any kind of meat you like and shove down its throat
Hard thing to tame trap it
Tranq it
Tame it lol
If they ain’t alphas a pretty easy tame 😡😡😡
Use a few reinforced dinosaur gateways. Place them like this (top view)
|_| lead the carno into them and place a fourth, trapping the carno in a box shape. Knock out and feed. Hope this helped you!
Once it was my first time playing and I saw a carno I ran up to it and punched him, he attacked back I kept punching, i died, i went back I punched more, i died, this happened around 90 more times, then it ran i punched one more time and it passed out in the ocean then I raged cuz it died.
How to tame: step 1
you can use crossbow or bow but I recommend crossbow with tranquilizer arrows. Step 2 shoot it till it starts to run away then continue shooting it till it falls down unconscious. Step 3 shove me into its inventory they eat it fast when I tried to get 1 it ate so much meat I tamed it within 10 seconds I was counting... -Ben
A Very under rated tame. High lvl Carno with a decent rider is capable of huge destruction. My Carno Hugo can take 3 theri and multiple troodons at once and not even bat an eye. Hes even took low lvl rex. A must have early game and even mid/end game is still a reliable mount.
I tamed one by using large bear traps and I shot at it until it ran into my line of bear traps, one after another as I shot it with tranq arrows. I named him brute because carnos look brutal and angry haha
Btw if you use the bear traps, make sure to set them out before getting the carno or any tames attention because the traps take a few seconds to set.
Build a taming pen on a raft
Go to carnivore island
Capture a carno
Return to base
Knock it out
You have a carno
