Use tranq arrows to knock it out and since its slow just run away when it gets close, use mejoberrys when knocked out.

Okay so you circle around the turtles and hit them.. after that you get mojo berries(Purple berries) since they work the best you feed them. Once you tamed them they make the best defence pets i had two of them and they are godly defenders. Please up this so the nubs can see and become one of the pros.

Utility Roles for Carbonemys:

1. Tank. A very bulky dino for early game, due to their easy taming method they are worth taming just for their bulk alone. They take reduced damage everywhere but their head. Unfortunately, are outclassed by the Trike later on. (level Health)

2. Early game water mount. Their saddle is relatively inexpensive to craft, and they are significantly faster in water. Plus, no Oxygen stat means you can have access to local waterways around your base. Just don't try traversing the ocean...(level Health, Stamina, and Movement Speed)

3. Scout (if you want). They are slow, even while sprinting, but their bulk is good for any scouting missions you want to do in the early game. (level Stamina and Movement Speed)

4. Kibble Maker. Their eggs are classed as Medium, and they lay at a decent rate. Great for Regular Kibble!

My name is ShinyChimchar01 and if you like this tip, I've done similar tips on the Trike, Raptor, and Parasaur and my next tip is on the Lystrosaurus!

If you accidentally punch one of these I recommend running to the nearest rock and slowly walking away behind it. The carbonemys will loose interest and walk away. This is because it won’t see you, But if it doesn’t work run away but what ever you do… DON’T SWIM AWAY!!! Carbonemys are giant turtles and turtles swim. They have really high health stats (if your a noob) and swim fast. Unless you have a fast swim mount or fly mount you can swim or fly over the water to escape.

I hope this helped!

Don’t even think about punching one of these guys

You just did before I said this didn’t you?

You can use it for taming dinos, just level it up and put the levels in health and if you are taming some (unlike raptors they can pounce on you) just sit at its back and shoot the creature.

Please up it so who don't know can see it.

Secret : you can hop on there back even if they’re not tamed! Just jump on their back you get a free ride they don’t care!

When walking a carbonemys backwards towards a turret it takes less damage towards the carbonemys , making draining a turret more efficient.

how to tame : ( for easy difficulty

first get mejoberries at least 75 if ur doing it for the first time

second get slingshot and get rocks (45-65)

third slowly walk back and hit the turtle continuously with the slingshot or stand on a high rock and keep hitting it

fourth after you knock it unconscious put mejoberries in inventory and wait( if high lvl you might need narcotics or bio toxin)

fifth craft a saddle for it

170 hide

95 fiber

10 cementing paste(to get it u can craft it in a mortar and pestle with 8 stone and 4 chitin/keratin

six enjoy!

Before knocking out a turtle to tame it, magnifying glass it to see the base health so you know that you will get a good health turtle.
