If you want to fight one I recommend either going around it in circles and stabbing it with a spear or a pile or running backwards and shooting it with your bow or gun

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

When my invventory gets too heavy, I use my turtle as my legs.

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!

I like to get a bunch of these when I face off against a toro or something, they make great weapons! When you tame one do not swim away, they are giant turtles so basically you have entered their domain. I usually just use a club and hit repeatedly but that may vary on our health, you may have lower health than me so uhm yeah… Hope this was helpful!

Go above, go beyond, plus ultra!🐢

All u need is a slingshot u can literally mine stone for sling amo they are so slow lol🤣

If you kill a carby, you should plan on raiding a base while you are at it ‘cause when you drag it’s body, it covers you like a turtle blankie, so you can soak all but tek turrets, because they have explosive damage. You won’t take any damage because you are stuck inside the turtle.

Just imagine riding this with a cannon and a tank turret and get and army and raid a big base: This thing is the living tank of ark

These guys are great in early game. They are an easy tame with a slingshot, have loads of health, and can be used to fight much larger and stronger animals.

These things are extremely slow and lose intrist in you when you attack them unless you continue attacking it or you take it’s egg.

Bump if you think WC should make this immune to shock & able to collect lots bio toxin plus weight reduction on materials like stone, flint & wood!

I was able to knock out and tame a 840 health guy with my bare fists, so don’t give up

I just kill them for keratin. But they would chase you from miiiiiiillllleeeeeesssss when you shoot them tho🤔

Easy to breed and raise. Take some in caves and let them tank for you and your DPS tames. Bring good guns and good tames aswell. RUGER5264 - 2023

The Carbonemys is a very good dino for taming anything (except titanosaur) as it can tank hits with it’s incredibly high hp and 0.5x damage on the shell. I one used a wild Carbonemys to tame a Spino while it tried to kill it I shot tranq darts at it.

ESSENTIAL for metal runs early game due to their weight limit. Bring 2 or more and you have a portable storage box

Don’t try to run this thing is slow as a fish on land

I used these guys for a cp farm and now I have infinite

The first thing I die to is this darn turtle. 😤

They can be knocked out by snakes but would like three hits, but I have four of them and they are CRAZY FRICKING AWESOME! They wrecked a sarco!!!
