What are tips for carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies for carcharodontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Use high HP diplos because damage decreases taming effectiveness.
And the higher the HP, the better taming effectiveness.
I was searching for high lvl rexes on lava island and found a 145 carch on lesser one instead. I instantly decided to tame him and spend like 1,5 total. A lot of time he was doing stupid things but now I understand how to tame it, how I did it in the end:
Crafted like 4 stone gates, placed 3 in the form of half circle
Agroed him and made him attack gates
While he was busy locked him
Went away to rerender, it will make him stop attacking gates
Lure a rex and kill it
Grab his body and offer him
If he doesn't sniffing or eating rerender again
After he eat it freed him
Commite massacre killing rexes, carnos and argies
We are friends now, he is awesome:)
Up this if you think it helps! Carchar will be buggy when trapped and could constantly attack giving you no chance at gaining trust. Seems to prefer small dinos and doesn't try eating flyers. If it misses the first chomp on the corpse then it will no longer gain trust on the corpse you are feeding it. You must be carrying the corpse while it is feeding on it. I found it easier to gain trust by building a walkway so it has an easier time chomping the corpse. After gaining full trust I found it easier to gain taming on extinction with the amount of dinos near the spawn. I highly recommend using an elixir on high level carchars so that you can tame it without having to gain it's trust again.
Finally some last pointers to help out...
I found using a baby rex (boss rex) was instant trust when it chomped on the corpse. Carchars will likely sniff the corpse you bring it and not chomp, meaning you have to render in the area by leaving or you may or.may not have to kill it if it stops trying to chomp the corpse. I forgot to mention that I don't know if just any baby rex will do so be wary of that. The carchars will most definitely kick you off after it reaches 100 stacks, so take it back to your trap before 98 stacks. That should be all you need to know! Hopefully this helps!
Traps are not good the carcha may get bugged and not eat just use a tek suit or gen 2 armor and drag body then fly
I can confirm after my taming experience that feeding it boss baby rexes gave it a ton of friendship.
Can't knokout tame it have to drag corpses to it it is a hard to tame thing
Trap it with metal
Boy don’t let these be Cryo-sick!! I think it has one of the highest Torpor and slowest torpor reduction speed in the game…so yeah, do with that what you will!
Is it on mobile yet? Why I asked is I play the game on my tablet an have not seen it yet.
To instantly ride The Carcharodontosaurus. Drag one high level Rex to him. When he sniffs let go. TRAPS are not needed and may bug him out. If you are holding/dragging Dino/animal The Carcharodontosaurus will not agro to you.
Slaughter baby boss Rex’s, drag till it sniffs then run or fly away. When the green icon appears above its head get on and ride! Don’t waste your time with alphas either cause it won’t kill them! When it kicks you off repeat the slaughter process and get on a ride!!
Feeding the Carch Gallimimus brings its friendship level up by a lot. I would recommend using them.
Baby Rexes work like a charm. Whoever suggested them is the GOAT
I have found that the higher drag weight the more it fills the trust bar.
how is this labelled for Mobile?
Don’t trap it just kill some things run up to it. It will make a sniffing animation just drop the dino you carried and run and get some more then when the bar turns green hop on it and go on a killing spree. Easy tame.
High health diplos to perfect tame
