If you get cryo sickness because like me you forgot to turn it off, then just use stem berries or stimulant to wake any creature up
The Absolute Best Method my tribe has found with taming these guys is to use a standard metal Dino gate trap for a giga, once trapped things get simpler.
The next step is to use baby Rexs, chuck one out near by but not to close, kill it then drag it close to the trap and when you see him sniff the air drop the body and move away to avoid taking damage.
One Rex baby is enough to fill his trust and you will be able to ride him, so you can demo a gate and use an elixir before you mount if you have them handy for that sweet bonus 30% taming.
So now the fun part, mount up and eat everything you see BUT you need to avoid Alpha Dino’s as you will not be able to kill them they take no damage from the Char as it’s still technically wild, be mindful to try avoid taking damage where possible as it will chip away at your taming effectiveness and on standard rates you will need to repeat the feeding of baby rexs a number of times through out the taming as it will kick you off and can try to kill you.
taming can be quite slow depending on how many wild Dino’s you can find in each run and you may need to repeat the process 4-5 times depending on level and current rates.
Here’s how to tame a carcharodontosaurus:
1. Find one (use gene scanner if u got bob tales on Asa
2. Make sure there are plenty of Dino’s around, bc you’ll need to ride and kill stuff to tame it
3. Place 3 gates, put bear traps in it, and once the carcha is ensnared, then put the fourth gate behind it
4. Feed it corpses (ideally baby Rex corpses)
5. Once it’s tamed, go kill a bunch of stuff quickly, be careful if you do it too slowly taming effectiveness will go down
Then finally you’ll get thrown off and congrats you just tamed a carcha!
Best you can do is drag a baby rex or spino to it, have a cryo'd flier so you can run away when it kicks you off, and repeat the process until it's tamed.
Also make sure it isn't raged (glowing eyes) while you're dragging the corpse to it.
Baby spinos fill bar fully also, just go in a lake and kill all of the fish… and boom you have tamed a child eater.
Because of their ability to heal off of kills, these guys are the ultimate kings of anything endurance related. Gigas may still be the one to toss out if there's something in front of you that needs to die right this moment, but if you want to run around just about anywhere killing everything in your way for hours, without ever needing to stop to heal, a imprinted char with good stats, is unmatched.
I want one. I want one. I want one
If trying to tame on fjourdur wooly rhinos work really well next to baby Rex’s or spinos!
These guys give Giga hearts aswell
Something i found out is they drop giga hearts so if you need that for the tributes don't reset for a giga just kill on of these instead
An easy animal to kill to fill up its tame meter are trikes-bread
A thing I noticed is that they only appear near or on an a mountain so yah
If you have a baby rex that you don’t want trap the carch an feed it the Rex. Ps it HAS to be a baby
Baby Spinos Works Just As Good As Baby Rex’s So If You Love Spinos Like Me And Want A Carch Then Give ‘Em A Baby Spino
Shares spawns with Gigas. So they can only be found in maps with Gigas. Making Gigas even more rare than they were before on certain maps.
High level carcha> gigant in all cases
You Don’t Escape this it follows you were ever you go. I see it in my house,outside, even in my work. Long Story Short you can’t escape the char char
