What is a carbonemys used for? carbonemys battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
How to tame:
Use a bow or rifle with tranqs and walk backwards while shooting. They’re very slow so the odds of them catching and killing you is unlikely.
What they’re good for:
Raiding! They take reduced damage from turrets making them the ultimate turret drainers. They’re also quite tanky so a high level one can easily get up to 1 million health.
I had just joined for the first time in ark, I knew nothing about the game. After a while I got a thatch house, clothes, basic tools, and Spears. Then a lvl 32 Carno divides that I looked tasty, so it came and killed me and destroyed my house. I was living on the beach where you spawn. So after respawning making spears and attacking the Carno for the millionth time, I saw one of these and punched it in the head until it KOed. It was only lvl 3 but I tamed it, made some spears and brought it over to the Carno. That turtle and I went to town with that Carno and pulverized it. I recommend taming these if you are just starting out.
Perfect soakers, takes 50% reduction from bullets to its tail, and 80% reduction from bullets to its shell.
If you ride them, the turrets will still shoot the Carbonemys instead of you, unless they are right above you.
Ad that they got greater healthpool than both Stegos and Trikes, ad the mate boost effect and even the yuty roar effect, ad even saddles to them, and there is only one dinos that beat it when it comes to soaking, and that's a rock elemental aka golem.
And, they are easy to tame, slow, just tranq out and feed mejoberries or kibbles, and you got yourself a soaker capable to take out any base defences.
Use snow owl or deodon to heal them in between.
