Tips & Strategies
Guy best way to do it is with three people. 2 online 1 offline. One guy on the crab and 1 on a anky. The guy on the crab grapples the offline guy. Mine with the anky until the crab is heavy, then put all the metal in the offline guy. Rinse repeat until you cap out in metal on the offline guy. Head back to base and empty everything in the forges. Do this cycle for infinite metal on abberation. ( and if you want it to be faster. Have two anks instead of one. An a weight crab) best metal farming

Hands down the best water cave runner. If you can transfer a karkinos to the island they can easily run both the cavern of lost hope and lost faith without aggroing many creatures. Mosasaurs, jellyfish, and eels all ignore the karkinos making those caves a cakewalk. Even better, the tusoteuthis cant grab the karkinos either.
❗️This is important ❗️ these guys are super super underrated for soaking non-player only heavys. Even with a primitive saddle these things have got such a major damage reduction when it comes to projectiles of any sort. Not only that they can be used to throw highly utilized stegos, or Turtles into someone’s base. these are super easy to tame and are very useful in terms of farming, pvp on aberration, base defense, and believe it or not, SOAKING❗️
Build taming coral. Lead it in. Build pillers around it until it can't move at all. Build catapult and place up high to shoot down at karkinos. Hit top of body. The karkinos body will move downwards and rebound when hit correctly. Shoot carefully as they die easily. Good luck
Will rip you off tame I repeat TAKE YOU PFF YOUR TAME AND KILL YOU EASY
They can be outran on foot with a bit of speed upgrades, however make sure you dont cut it close or else OH YEA MR KRABS
I just figured out that rocket launchers deal torpor to the karkinos, much like the rock golems, but they die a bit more quicker since they don't have much health and rocket launchers deal a lot of damage.
Kill and use chainsaw for organic polymer or even better use a moschops spec’d into organic farm to really increase that organic poly farm easily
Has a slow reaction time and you can usually avoid it attacking you by running under its legs.This might change in later patches
You can knock these out using catapults. HOWEVER, you have to make sure you hit their back, and not their legs, or you will only deal damage, without any torpor.
Your crab is out of HP, and there is no annimal corpses to bring? Just put 10+ sleeping bags not far from the trap and let Karkinos kill you enough times to regain HP (as I calculated - 300 HP per death)
This works only when Kark is not fleeing. Otherwise you need to wait until torpor goes down and crab starts to attack. But this worth it. You won't lose the crab you want!
Trapping it in a simple trap made out of stone double door frames usually helps alot. It will enable you to shoot it with a catapult more easily :)
These things are a must have on Aberration. They'll help you get down to the radiation zone to allow you to get better creatures such as rock drakes. However, they're pretty slow without movement speed upgrades :/
It takes 17 boulders for a 150 if you don't miss any
Despite being a pain to ko and tame these are some of the best aberration tames(besides the rock drake)
They can pick up most dinos and can easily kill most powerful dinos.
They can jump and are super useful for carrying ally survivors and dinos to raid bases.
best krob
also their chibi is one of the only chibis that aren’t super ugly which is good
