They should update ark to be more accurate because carbonemys actually ate meat in real life unlike modern turtles.

The amount of turtles I had to kill for the saddle is sad. They only drop about two- three keratin per dino

Geta club hop on it's shell and bop it on the head it worked for me

These guys are strong so don’t hit them if your new

if ur a lazy a** person like me knock it out with a stone or metal axe

ez tame. hit w’ slingshot while on a rock or walking backwards. shove the purple berrys (idk what they r called) down it’s throat, and bam u got urself a badass beginner dino.

These creatures are slow but don’t underestimate these creatures they are Also kinda strong they can harvest berries and to tame one you have to tranquillize it by just shooting them and give it some berries done hope it helps

I alredy had 5 of these things... i used them to kill 3 carnos and 2 raptors... Kind of easy

Easy to tame shoot it with rocks from slingshot, until it gets scared to start walking away then punch it a bunch

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

First time playing so I was curious and punched one thinking they were harmless…

BAD IDEA

if your new use a slingshot and aim for the head, make sure there are no dilos, they are really good pets because i tamed a lvl 12 one and it had 1200 health and 178% melee damage

I used this to tame a baryonyx by shooting tranq arrows at it while on my turtle, it has some decent hp and if you level it up you could even use it to try and tame bigger things. I tried doing the same method on a spino and it worked (unfortunately it went unconscious under water and drowned)

The carbonemys is only useful as a tank, but as a cheap tame, they certainly can tank a ton, so here’s a guide to tame one (especially useful for Tusoteuthis taming)

1. These overgrown turtles can be found along almost all beaches on the southern end of the island (on other maps just look around the edges of large bodies of water) and sometimes they may be in the water. They are a knockout tame so make sure to prepare 25ish tranqs (for a high level) or 15ish tranq darts (again, for a high level).

2. You can use mejos, however, for a high level it is better to use kibble, for the extra speed and effectiveness. Beware, though, because these things absolutely inhale kibble. For a max level on single player bring 25ish regular kibble

3. The best strategy for taming these is to walk backwards away from it and shoot its legs or head. DO NOT SHOOT ITS SHELL OR TAIL! (It will take reduced damage and therefore torpidity). You can trap it if you are unable to maneuver well enough but it will cost extra resources. It’s torpor drops slow enough you won’t need extra narcotics to feed it

Happy taming!

Just use Berries on it to tame and Nocberries to keep it more unconscious!

I think these guys should be immune to the cnidarias attacks since turtles like the sea turtle is immune to jellyfishes and eats them .

Punp max health and it's a decent early game soaked also good if you throw loads of them into bases with crabs

I am new to breeding and my baby carbo died and I harvested it's body and it gave me raw prime meat

Basically there hard to kill despite looking week I’ve seen then taking on a sarco

You take a hatchet and try to kill it and surprisingly you knock it out.
