Seriously im not joking when i say this......turtles are SO overpowered

Pump meele and it can take on aphale whale

If you have a boat you should have at least two

For beginners this was my first animal i tamed,

To knock it out, you first need to get a sling shot if your mobile the gift might give you a blueprint, when you get the sling shot, see how much rock you need, best way to get rock is mine rocks with hatchet, once you get it just shoot at it and run away BUT KEEP YOUR EYES ON IT and keep shooting then give it all of your berries but if it is not enough then get more berries while it is eating it’s berries DON’T USE NARCO BERRIES (black berries that makes it more sleepy) UNLESS YOU NEED TO btw the best berry for this is mojo berry ( yummy purple berries) it is medium to get the mojo berry because you get 1 or 2 on a bush (some of them might not give it) anyways hope you enjoyed this tutorial have a good day!

When soaking turrets with these guys, walk them backwards because they take reduced damage. Their head and legs take normal damage

Just use a bow and back away slowly if it comes closer sprint and keep shooting it when it is near 100 hp use a sling shot

If you want to tame or kill one of these, BE WARNED, they are freaking tanks, and will hunt you until you are dead, or it's dead.

If u write turtle in the search thing it appears

I tamed these but you need lots of berries because it will consume all your berries! Don't kill but almost kill it then put loads of berries in it's inventory.

T.A.M.E.D

If you have trouble after hitting one of these early game, just go out of render distance and back in and bam! It’ll be un-aggroed

Here's the easiest way to tame a turtle:

Step 1: Find one(check beaches)

Step 2: Use a slingshot to get it to chase you, because headshots are the most effective way to knock it out (bring no less than 40 stones)

Move backwards while shooting it, and once it gets a little too close, turn around, run a little farther away and repeat. Once you get it to begin running, walk parallel to it and continue to aim for the head. You have to aim a little bit ahead of it so the stones hit their mark. Repeat until unconscious. Feed mejoberries(the purple ones) as it prefers those over the other kinds. Wait a while, make sure it doesn't wake up or get attacked.

Step 3: Enjoy your new turtle!

You can find it at a water area (I found it at the edge of the map). To knock him out, for starters, use a slingshot. When he is down bring your narcotics and berries. If he is unconscious and you fear he will wake up, punch him a few times to keep him like that. Congrats, you now have tamed a Carbonemys. Hope this helped.

Side note: if you want to be safe, through a bola and hit him with a bat to knock him out.

If you angered one of these guys leave ark and rejoin they will lose interest

I don't know why people think it's so hard to knock them out, just get thank arrows and run away from it turn around and shoot, they are very slow so shout be a problem, if you want one and dont have thank arrows get a few shields (only worked for low levels unless you got some friends and hope doesn't die) hit it with a club protect with the shield from it's attack and soon it hits the shield hit it again, remember could take a long time if high level.

I Was battling a turtle with my turtle to tame male turtle I broke my leg so my turtle killed male turtle.

It’s an easy tame to do as a starter I once tamed one at level 2 there very good they act as a natural frige so store barries and meat to make them last longer

And also there very fun and last a long time my turtle was called shell shocked if you want to use the name then please do I love that name for turtles bye have a good day

Aim for the head otherwise it will be super hard to knock out

Solid early-game tame. Easy to get without having any tames, but can easily tank most beach-dwellers while hauling resources.

The best place to find these guys is hands down on the beach. They’re everywhere on the shore and you’ll even see them out in the water a bit, just make sure you don’t knock it out while it’s still in the water (bad things will happen). Be careful about taming them though, because if there are multiple in the area they will all attack you once you aggro one of them. (1/148)

Well as fishes tank you when you hit it

After I tame an Ichthy my Carbo would NOT stop and it would run all the way to my Ichthy just to stop there. Why, why, why. (My ichthy’s name is Glacier and my Carbo’s name is Godzilla.)
