What is a carbonemys used for? carbonemys battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Can escape over railing
Please build 2 tall walls and also make them have no nearby structures here is how freedom: my female turtle got her name: after her 1st baby, who still has no name, she escaped my dino compound and crossed the river to where the raptors were. I got her back with no issues until about 1 minute later she had broken out.
Early game when I restar I always put together a defense squad and it’s three high level dilos and two turtles. All female just for extra food (eggs) anytime. Don’t worry about the turtles attack just the hp because the dilos are mostly there to attack from behind and do the bulk of the damage. Whatever is attacking will go for the turtles unless the dilos get there and then the turtles will snap at it and then it’ll aggravate on the turtles and they attack fast enough that whatever it is doesn’t have time to switch between all attackers. And to add I’ll casually take a stab from the side with a spear from time to time while shooting whatever it is in the head with a bow. Hope this helps. Also on pvp servers these squads wreck people on allos lol.

We have one turtle named carby hero the reason of the is... one night I was playing ark then a noob on a raft came over attacked my dodo,dilo,pterodactyl,and turtle.

You don’t need a saddle to ride if you have another person: hop on it’s shell and tell the other person to make it follow him/her. If he has a Dino to ride it will follow him and you will stay on. You can also fit two people on it with or without a saddle. If you are the second person just hop on shell
They need a tlc and quite possibly a redesign they could be anchored to a place where they can always find the way to like real turtles (that has no use but it’s cool ) also they were omnivorous with a big jaw and strong bite existing with the titanoboa and ate small reptiles therefore I propose we should be able to put them on turret mode where they eat nearby small stuff like micro raptor and compy in one bite if they get to close
Good source of keratin for beginners and a slow but durable starter tame. They are also useful for Tusoteuthis taming as a bait so you can feed the beak and don’t have an oxygen stat.

(this is a non-artists rendition of the beak in question)
I think Carbonemys were observed as omnivores in real life despite the dossier but you know. Happy Swimming!
