Hey guys, Mana here, Syntac has a good Karkinos trap, here is what you need:

-triangle foundations 3x (metal works best)

-door frames 4x (metal again)

-large bear trap 1x

-signboard (yes, metal)

-catapult

-boulders (depends on the karki’s level)

OPTIONAL (but recommended):

-pillars 1-3 (wood or above, stone recommended)

-ceiling; at least 1 (wood or above)

-ladders (however many pillars you brought)

To make the trap, you need to:

1: place a triangle foundation down

2: place the other two so they are in a trapezoid shape

3: place the doorframes so they are going out the longer side of the trapezoid

4: place the bear trap

5: place catapult

6: lure the karki into the trap (make sure you don’t get grabbed)

7: when the karki gets trapped, run behind it and place your metal signboard

8: make sure your hitting the karki on its shell (the spot behind its head) to do torpor, anywhere else will only do damage

If your missing a lot and its health is low (you can check with magnifying glass), kill a creature (don’t harvest it), drag it to the karki, and let it eat the corpse, this will heal it.

OPTIONAL STEPS (recommended):

Before you place catapult (does not affect steps 6 and 7):

1: place you pillars in a tower

2: place a ceiling on top (or more if needed)

3: place catapult on top

4: place ladders to get up

Reason why to do this:

If you tower up, if the karki moves or starts torpor running, it’s shell (the part you have to hit to do torpor) gets hard to hit, so with the height advantage, it is easier to hit.

That’s all, hopefully this will help anyone trying to take a karkinos. :)
