Tips & Strategies
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!

Easy to tame and u wont regret taming them, best body guards in ARK pls like so noobs can see this.
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.
For beginners
Charge a level 2or 3 with your club and just keep hitting them till they start to run or stop fighting fight back. Then hit them a few more times and there unconscious.
Feeding them for beginners
Just feed them pretty much any berry and just wait.
Boom you got one!!!
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 tame👍
Easy tames. Use a slingshot to the head and bac way while shooting( it’s a f###ing turtle, chalrles) it eats berries and use nacros.like so noobs can see.
You shoot with arrows until at 200 health then hit with slingshot feed mojo beries then wait
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 you’ll 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
