What are tips for carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies for carcharodontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you followed my tip when I said I forgot to tell you to add large bear trap…DO NOT DO IT!! I’ve heard that if you trap it they will not eat ever again instead bring it a baby Rex,brontosaurus, spinosaurus , etc by dragging it until it sniffs in the air, then run and repeat to trust bar is full. Though I do think it is cruel to kill the baby dino :(
If you read the other tip I sent I forgot to tell you to put a large bear trap in the center of it so he can’t run when you go to put up the fourth dinosaur gateway
P.S. don’t use a baby Rex to feed even though it is easy because killing a baby Rex is cruel. Plz up this !
After spending hours trying to figure out how to tame this brute of a beast, my wife and I found a way that worked like an absolute charm.
First, get a team of at least two people. One person must be wearing ghille armor and get into the charcis area. Be sure to fly in or have at least one decent Argentavis with you.
Second, start a kill pile of animals that can be dragged such as Carnos, trikes, and parasaurs. The bigger the better.
Third, have the player in ghille armor approach the charchi with a kill in hand to activate the handshake. DO NOT use a metal cage or traps as this will cause the charci to bug. Once the charchi begins ro sniff, drop the kill and run away. Repeat this step until the handshake stage is complete and turns green.
The final step requires teamwork. One person must ride the charchi to begin killing animals to start the taming process. The other person must use an argentavis to fly ahead of the charchi and begin wounding large animals such as diplos, brontos, and allosauruses. This way, the charchi can get large kills with almost no effort or damage (which negatively effects the taming efficiency) while preserving as much stamina as possible. Having your teamate fly ahead also allows the player on the charchi to more easily locate prey.
We're on the our second charchi now and this has worked wonderfully. Happy taming!!
They are very strong and hard to tame, not to mention that they are very rare. So good luck finding them.
Trap with 4 metal gates and a large bear trap. Leave render distance so it stops attacking, then killed a rex (rexes get instant friendship) then drag it to the trapped dino. If it doesn’t eat leave render distance and come back
That silly glow that surrounds you after being chomped by these needs to be removed, cant see jack all past it.
Ok so, in order to tame a car, you need 4 Dino gateways, a large bear trap, and a cryopod with baby wyverns in it ( if you don’t have any baby wyverns, a dead wild animal will work too! Just not as well), and a good saddle for when you tame it. You lead it into your trap, and once you have trapped it, kill your Dino of choice ( I recommend baby wyverns very effective!). Once that is done, you should be able to ride it. Just remember it is not tamed yet! Get it out of the trap and kill those baby wyverns. Make sure you get thrown off BEFORE the time runs out. By then, the tame is ruined and you can’t tame it. A good leveled high level car can kill a giga. I will be sure to post a good name on name ideas tab!

Use a baby T-Rex (Cryo pod the rex over) to instantly get it's trust up. However if you are on PC get the baby Rex out of the Cryo pod and wait 10 seconds because if you kill it as soon as it is out there's a chance the rex will disappear.
You don’t need to trap it….breed some rexes get egg hatch egg put baby in cryo pod take baby to carcharo kill baby drag baby keep ahold of it let charo bit it fills meter in 1 shot…hop on carcharo ride and kill till timer almost done then ride it to a trap put it in trap kill everything around it so it doesn’t lose taking effectiveness..kill another baby rex open door let charo out grab dead baby bring to carcharo rinse and repeat…also back up while chopping Dino’s that fight back to keep taming bar at 100%
To tame get one in a trap, a typical giga trap will work but have extras, and instead of using rhino or killing other dinos bring along some baby Yuti, kill 1 and drag to it, if it eats its an instant ride, dont use giga or rex they worthless use baby yuti, once able to ride tear down one dino gate, run and kill everything, now if timer runs out before tame run it back to cage amd replace gate then use another yuti, rinse and repeat till tamed, you are welcome.
Yea so my lvl 180 poison wyvern just died cause I ran out of stam while taking this thing
Use a baby dino corpse boss rex baby’s are an instant trust bar and usually only takes one to two rexes to tame. You may need more on a 1x
Will this awesome dino be coming to ark mobile? I hope cause I was looking for it on my tablet an then saw it has not made it into mo ile just yet.
Can be found in volcano where Overseer gate is on The Island.
Breed your boss rex. Even the ones I bred with my level one females give me a full friendship bar with one feeding on 1x. Basically, I only use 4 baby rex and one elixir to tame a 150 with 100% effectiveness. If you eat animals and get 20% taming before each timer runs out you will be thrown from Carcharodontasaurus on not lose effectiveness. If you have on Tex suit you can run away from Agro range and kill next baby rex before it gets close. Just pick up fresh kill and repeat with a full friendship bar with each baby rex you kill. I’ve tamed more than 15 this way and now have a nice line of imprinted Carchars. Please try this method.
Before going to tame it, tame or breed some ovis.
Trap it, kill ovis and feed it. Have some spare ovis unclaimed to eat after
