Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Just climb a cliff and u will be safe just like me, or also shoot it with a bow or any ranged weapon and kill it, I level up by killing a carno
how to tame annoying ahh carnos that kill most dino’s and you:
1. get bow (level 10) and tranq arrows (level 21)
2. make a trap for it (u can easily find on yt)
3. find carno and shoot tranq arrows while u run to ur trap and trap it
4. shoot tranq arrows until it is unconscious.
5. feed it meat (raw meat, raw mutton, prime meat,etc)
6. boom, u got a carno.
tranq arrows are unlocked at level 21 but need narcotics (level 6) which are craftable at a Mortar and Pestle with Nacroberries (black ones) and Spoiled meat (keep any meat in ur inventory for along time to make it spoil).
IF THIS WAS HELPFUL, PRESS THE ARROW POINTED TO THE SKY
Do you want to time a carno? Well if you do then read this!
Carnos are great early-mid game tames! They can even be used in endgame.
Utility Roles!
Carnos are great meat gatherers. Like an early game giga.
They are pretty solid mounts too! They protect, they defend, but most importantly.. they attack. They looks super cool.

Now let’s get to taming!
In order to tame this dino. Your going to need lots of meat, they prefer prime meat though. Also make sure to get around 10-20 tranqs depending on the level. I small level carno gets knocked out fast. So you may need even less! At least bring one narcotic. In my experience I didn’t need one. But I tamed a low level.
Now you need to find one. I’ve seen one spawn at south province one, but it was lucky. I tamed mine in between the red woods and the swamp. I fought two but I only got to tame 1.
Once you find a carno you going to either want to do one of the following:
You can use large bear traps I think. But bringing a couple doesn’t hurt.
If you want to be cheap or then just get on a big rock or a ledge and fire away! When it runs chase that thing down like usain bolt.
Oh, so you want to be fancy? You can create some elaborate trap by using door ways and ramps and platforms.. but I’m not that type of dude.
Now just tranq that boy down and you got yourself a carno!
My name is Etheral and my last “how to tame” was the dilo!
Up if carno should roar and have armour
When I started to play ARK I only knew how to tame a dodo and a dilo but when i got dododex I knew how to tame basically everything I searched for so this app is a big help.&p arrow for dododex!!
Taking a Carnotaurus is actually pretty easy if you have the right items! (For Mobile edition!)
1. Get lots of meat or prime meat (prime meat is faster)
2. Get a Tranq Bow and Narcotics
3. Trap the Carnotaurus in a large bear trap (craft 2 just in case it escapes the trap)
4. Feed the carno the meat and feed it the narcotics when the unconscious bar gets low
5. And done! You have yourself a Carno!
PLEASE SUPPORT SO NOOBS CAN SEE!
Don’t be scared of this little man.
I had a pack of level 10 raptors I just had gotten and we easily beat a level 2 Carno. Not only that but these dudes are such scaredy cats. You hit them a bit and they run as fast as possible when they are low.
Up so the noobs won’t be scared
Very easy taming:
Step 1 look for scorpions
Step 2 tame
Step 3 mount it
Step 4 look for carno, rex, etc.
Step 5 just attack they dont agro insects (evil laugh)
Step 6 watch as they fall unconcious
Step 7 shove prime meat down their throat
Step 8 wait or roam around the map
Step 9 tap yourself for a job well done in taming
Step 10 become the boss of the whole island (evil laugh)
DO NOT USE NORMAL BOLA, almost died due to a untrue tip
theres no way I just witnessed a level 2 carno beat a full hp level 26 spino like wth 💀
