Carbonemys are straightforward early-game tames: isolate one, knock it out with ranged attacks while maintaining distance, then feed it berries and preserve its torpor until tamed. Their high health, carrying capacity, and unlimited swimming make them useful for hauling supplies, guarding bases, crossing waterways, and serving as durable bait. When encountering one, target exposed areas such as the legs, neck, or head while avoiding its armored shell. Keep your distance and use high ground or obstacles, especially near water or other Carbonemys that may join the fight.
