What are tips for carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies for carcharodontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Baby Rex’s fills it in one shot…hop on it and start killing…back up as you attack every hit from a Dino takes its effectiveness down…you don’t need to trap it…I still can’t figure out why people are trapping it…the desmodus potion works on it as well they last 4 hours so make one before you start hunting for a car….for some reason it kicks at random times so around 200 ish seconds try to keep the Dino in an area that has no other Dino’s if he attacks stuff while your not on him he will lose effectiveness if there is a trap close buy that’s unlocked try to get kicked off inside the trap then repeat it not time sensitive so just get to a safe place…if you have traps on a pve server unlock it so everyone can use it and they don’t have to make their own creating and endless maze of traps in every damn area it spawns lol
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
Metal dino gateways 4 in a square trap works
Taming in easy no need to trap it just walk up and feed it then run away to another dead body and drag it back to it repeat until it's ready to be tamed. Now as for killing dinos with it looks like it's 5% for ever kill. Also taking damage will reduse taming efficiency. Now ones it's tamed ever point should go into melee. U can take on a wild lvl145 giga if u have almost a 100 boost and u will heal almost as fast as ur taking damage. Best dino ever. Most likely will get nerfed sadly but we will see
Best dinos to feed them are baby Rex’s , spinos and magmasaurs they take one feed to be friends where as everything else’s I had to feed about 5 corpses or maybe more apparently it’s something to do with drag weight so might be other creatures that are as good. Also trapping seems to bug them out for me not sure everyone else’s experience but I let mine roam free. I’m not sure if it’s a bug but I seem to get kicked off the back of them anywhere between the last 60 - 200 seconds of the friendship buff and I still don’t know why yet it never gets to run all the way to 0
Trap it, bring e.g. Rex babies in Cryo Pods, kill them, feed them, tame your Carcharo :)
Use baby rex X lvl 412, with only 1 he es ready to ride, and begins the taming, try to kill small dinos, beacause big dinos gives him more stacks, and with 100 stacks he enters in rage and tries to kill you
If you find a carc with the red friendship icon, someone has tried to tame it. Knock it out to reset. Also don't be that kid who kills them just because you can’t tame it.
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 !
Yutyrannus are its favorite food it only takes one yutyrannus to able to get on him after that go crazy kill everything around you also best location for me to find Carcharodontosaurus is on Extinction next to the snow Biome good lock y’all and Bering some giga killers
Best way to tame
1. Get some high lvl babies... health over 4k (the higher the level the more babies you will need so I take no less tab 5)
2. Find the freak
3. Make sure the area is clear of danger, throw the baby out and kill it
4. Drag baby over to the freak and wait for it to sniff and blood to come out its mouth, at this point it should approach and then eat the baby.
5. A green tame emblem will appear above it, run up to it and ride it.
6. Kill things to gain tame percentage
7. There is a lvl meter on the bottom left, once this hits 100 it will frenzy and you have to do steps 3-5 again. Freak will also frenzy if this lvl meter drops down or hits a certain lvl depending on the bigger the freaks lvl it is.
8. While killing try to take little to no damage from other dinos as this will hurt the tame lvls
I used 1 boss x-Rex baby to kill and feed it and I got the green friendship icon immediately
To tame it, first use a giga trap with at least 4 metal gates and a giant bear trap, then give it some carcasses, (From what I’ve seen it seem Rhinos are good) wait until it’s friendship bar is full, after this you will be prompted to ride it, you will have several minutes to go around killing creatures. When it’s taming bar reaches 100% it will be tamed. NOTE: do not fight anything powerful with it while taming as damage reduces taming effectiveness, Sanguine Elixir is useful in this taming process.
Give him 2 dead trike(u have to drag them to him) then when he is full, ride on it and meatrun dino (without taking damage)unclaim big dino to kill them
Use babies, we used a baby Rex in our hands on a 140 carcar during the extra life event and it got the taming to ride it to green instantly.
Guys this is the coolest creature in the whole game if you want to try it out the command is SDF Carch 1 150 0
The car is in the game I play on official rag and saw a car
They spawn on every map the giga does and you can look on YouTube for how to tame. I recomend taming them where alot of creatures are like swamp or volcano but you might just want to tame at volcano because I dont think it would be smart for taking to the swamp because they dont spawn there and there's already a lot of creatures at the volcano.
