What are tips for carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies for carcharodontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Very sad, I found one of these in a volcano during the night so it was very hard to see, (I also found it with a giga as well) and I went to get a Dino to feed it but when I came back it died in the lava.
When you want to take it you will probably want to trap it and if it is still trying to eat your builds fly up with a flyer and I’m render it then go back down and feed it the dead animal witch you should do a baby Rex to fill the trust meter to full and go kill everything you see and have fun 😁👍
The carcar has a very long taming prices of just bringing it random Dinos you can find around you, but I've found that bringing them Dinos imbeetween level 150 - 250 is very very effective due to the high level, instead of scrambling around finding any level Dino you can fing just so the carcar your taming doesn't wonder off or lose tame effectiveness, make sure to prepare yourself by only looking for carcars where you know you have seen some high level Dinos that would be good to sacrifice to a carcar. This is an extremely annoying ung Dino to tame, only if you let it be, this is a perfect Dino that most people will want as soon as they can get it, and I don't blame them, but always make sure your prepared before you attempt to tame a carcar, I have personally found this method to be very useful scoping out your area can be detrimental to your experience taming carcars.
Baby rex’s are 100% guaranteed to fill up the friendship bar.
BEHOLD THE ALMIGHTY CAR-CAR
(Apparently this tip is helpful now that I added more words)
If you know what you're doing this tame is super easy.
First off, no matter the level all creatures bodies you drag to it will always fill the same amount of trust based off their drag weight(Lvl 100 Carchar will get the same trust as a Lvl 300 when fed the same dino). As many people have said a baby Spino, Rex, or Yuty will instantly fill this trust gauge.
Now the riding part is the trickier one. Many sources will say that you get thrown off at 20% tame but this is not true!!! You get thrown off when the rage meter in the bottom left gets to 100. Taming is based off of the killed creatures HP which makes this surprisingly easy as if you tame a really pumped up Bronto, Diplo, or Rex with only levels in health you can near insta tame, but be careful. A Rex at 111k HP only did 92.7% tame on a 3x Taming server so you need either a really buffed creature or a sacrifices. The Rex only gave 42 Rage as well so go wild and enjoy your new Carchar!!!!

Just saying if you trap the Carchar it can sometimes bug out and not eat the corpses you give it then you have to go out of render of it and back in to make the glitch stop. I tame a Carchar by getting a really tanky tame then whistle passive then let the Carchar attack it while you get the corpses if you didn’t cryo one of your tamed creatures and threw them out already then you just feed the Carchar withought it lagging. This is how I tamed my first Carchar so I hope this helps and I know it’s rather late to type this but I just thought why not.
Wanders around aimlessly or just stays idle when you trap it :/
In order to tame it, you need to kill and bring Dino corpses to it(it will do a sniffing animation). It will then feast on the corpse and you will see a friendship meter, bring dead dinosaurs to it in order to fill up that meter. Once full, you will have a max of 10 minutes to ride the Carcharadontasaurus and kill all dinosaurs in site in order to raise it's taming bar, just know it loses slight taming effectiveness when taking damage from dinosaurs, it loses a great amount of effectiveness when you get thrown off, if this happens, simply just do back the first step until the meter is full again. It has a bite which induces a thrash effect which slows down healing, it's second ability is a tail swipe or spin. Good luck.
First step: Trap in large bear trap to make this easier, drag over and offer it dead dinos.
Second step: Jump on and make it eat all the things.
(READ THE ENTIRE THING BEFORE TAMING)
It’s easy to tame. Trap it and feed it a baby diplo, baby rex, anything with a high drag weight (preferably over 450) that you can carry. You do the feeding process by dragging it close to where it won’t eat it but it will sniff it. When it does the sniffing animation you will leave the carcass close enough to where it can eat it. It will show a friendship meter above and when it’s green you can ride it. When you ride it, you go on a killing spree until it’s tamed. Look up a tutorial on yt if this wasn’t specific enough or if you are a visual learner

Of ur in creative, just give it an adult rex easy - FangClaw
If i am right it means that it has the power of a yuty, the power of a megatherium but with everything and over time and is the size of a giga (more or less) this could easily replace some certain tames in boss fights or PvP raids,
but the power could easily be nerfed or they could easily make it very hard to tame as a balance.
This will probably be a new go to creature
Feed it gallys that’s all I can say
If you trap one feed it 1 baby yuty because they give full friendship then ride it and things that attack back will ruin taming effectiveness and baby wyverns are best for taming it up. I hope you enjoy your new friend
Just as a tip for the second stage I would recommend unclaimed diplos since they don’t do damage you won’t be at risk of losing that precious taming effectiveness as well as that they give a lot in that second stage!
