Tips & Strategies
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!
More Carbonemys Taming & KO Tips
Okay so you circle around the turtles and hit them.. after that you get mojo berries(Purple berries) since they work the best you feed them. Once you tamed them they make the best defence pets i had two of them and they are godly defenders. Please up this so the nubs can see and become one of the pros.
The carbonemys is only useful as a tank, but as a cheap tame, they certainly can tank a ton, so hereβs 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. Itβs torpor drops slow enough you wonβt need extra narcotics to feed it
Happy taming!
how to tame : ( for easy difficulty
first get mejoberries at least 75 if ur doing it for the first time
second get slingshot and get rocks (45-65)
third slowly walk back and hit the turtle continuously with the slingshot or stand on a high rock and keep hitting it
fourth after you knock it unconscious put mejoberries in inventory and wait( if high lvl you might need narcotics or bio toxin)
fifth craft a saddle for it
170 hide
95 fiber
10 cementing paste(to get it u can craft it in a mortar and pestle with 8 stone and 4 chitin/keratin
six enjoy!
Before knocking out a turtle to tame it, magnifying glass it to see the base health so you know that you will get a good health turtle.
1. Find one
2. Tranq it ( they are easy to outrun)
3. Give berries (best are mojo)
4.wait till tameπ
Easy tames. Use a slingshot to the head and bac way while shooting( itβs a f###ing turtle, chalrles) it eats berries and use nacros.like so noobs can see.
if you have about 30 mejoberries and tranqs than please try to tame one. i did and i do not regret it. once you knock it out give it mejoberries (they work the best!). let it eat for like ten minutes and boom you have one. they can carry a ton of weight and will protect you. i love mine and youβll love yours
An easy way to tame this fat turtle it Slingshot it and run around in circles I reccomend shooting it in its head because it has BIG STRONG on its back (btw bring about 40 rocks for the slingshot) and when it is knocked out feed it berries and name it Sheldon
Should get this dino early, has good health and can help you travel along the coast (in the water of course), to tame Just use your slingshot with Stones and walk backwards watch out to not get stuck on a rock.
If you are going to tame one of these be on ahigh place gat loys of rocks and slingshot it, theyβll kill you if your where they can reach you. These things can pack a punch and tank alot of DMG be careful when taming them! And you need berries to tame them
