Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a carbonemys? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carbonemys.
I tamed one when it was knocked out by titanaboa
In order to knock out a Carbo simply kite it around whilst shooting it in the head with a slingshot, a carbonemys makes for a great early game tame.
Get on big rock and shoot turtle with tranc arrows
HOW TO TAME A CARBONEMYS AT LEVEL ONE
1. Weaponry
at level one, all you have to knock out creatures is your bare hands. However, if you managed to kill something, there is a chance it can drop items, slingshots are notable.
2. Tactics
Fists
Punch the Carbonemys head on. When it's neck moves, move to the right.
Ranged weapons
Shoot from a distance. If it gets close, turn around, run for about 5 seconds, and start firing again. (While firing, move backwards.)
3.Food
Carbonemys prefer regular kibble, but obviously, we don't have that at level one. So mejoberries will have to do.
You might need narcoberries depending on the level.
4. Congratulations!!
You did it! You now have a Carbonemys, without a single xp point.
You cannot bla him he will just brake it
Good for beginners and a tank mines called donkey
Shrek died😓😓😥😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓
I tamed these but you need lots of berries because it will consume all your berries! Don't kill but almost kill it then put loads of berries in it's inventory.
T.A.M.E.D
Super Easy! You craft a wooden club or any knocking-out weapon (I used a bow and tranq arrows) and hit them, the head and the legs are the best spots to strike. After it has been knocked out, put around 20-30 berries into it’s inventory. And after a few minutes, enjoy your new underwater tank! :)
I don't know why people think it's so hard to knock them out, just get thank arrows and run away from it turn around and shoot, they are very slow so shout be a problem, if you want one and dont have thank arrows get a few shields (only worked for low levels unless you got some friends and hope doesn't die) hit it with a club protect with the shield from it's attack and soon it hits the shield hit it again, remember could take a long time if high level.
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!
You can find it at a water area (I found it at the edge of the map). To knock him out, for starters, use a slingshot. When he is down bring your narcotics and berries. If he is unconscious and you fear he will wake up, punch him a few times to keep him like that. Congrats, you now have tamed a Carbonemys. Hope this helped.
Side note: if you want to be safe, through a bola and hit him with a bat to knock him out.
After I tame an Ichthy my Carbo would NOT stop and it would run all the way to my Ichthy just to stop there. Why, why, why. (My ichthy’s name is Glacier and my Carbo’s name is Godzilla.)
This was the first creature I've ever tamed and they are EASY. Just use any knockout projectile weapon while walking backwards and BOOM high health tame.
It’s an easy tame to do as a starter I once tamed one at level 2 there very good they act as a natural frige so store barries and meat to make them last longer
And also there very fun and last a long time my turtle was called shell shocked if you want to use the name then please do I love that name for turtles bye have a good day
Aim for the head otherwise it will be super hard to knock out
You can knock out these things using the metal hatchet, i dunno how but i’ve done it like 5 times ngl
Yes they are super easy to tame use a like 50 tranq arrows for a 150 and u will be set
They are very slow so you do not need a trap
Whenever I’m in south zone 2, I tame one. Mine is a 145 named steel shell. He has helped me get so many narcoberries and carried many structures to this day. He has protected me and my dodo farm from sarcos. He has helped me build a home for splinter, my beaver. And once I start caving, I’m taking him with me to make sure I make it there safely. All I need is my raptor and I’m good to go
Stay away or behind a rock when knocking out
