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 !
This thing sounds really broken, it has a tail whip ability and will get stronger as it kills prey in succession. It sounds like it’s going to also have a pack buff roar ability, A army of these “if allowed” will terrorize bosses, but with giga’s not allowed to enter the boss fights on official we can only assume it will be the same for these guys as well. This will also preserve the usefulness of the Yuti as well, otherwise like the Quetz the Yute could get fazed out pretty fast.
Is it still going to be tame by losing its teeth.
If you have a Baby Rex, Take it to a Carcharodontosaurus. Then kill the Rex take it to the Carcharodontosaurus and feeding it will give you 100% trust Hope this helps out
DONT TRAP THEM it messes with their ai horribly! instead take a baby rex (newborn) and wait a few seconds if you let it out of a cryo so it doesn’t mesh then kill it and drag it’s body to the carcha let the body go and run when it does the sniff animation it should be instantly trusting towards you and all you have to do is ride and go on a killing spree to tame its a lot easier than people seem to think
Whatever trap you decide to use just make sure it gives them enough space to "move" or else their AI will get super weird and make the taming process more miserable than it needs to be. I ended up using 9-10 metal billboards (on flat ground!) to just make a large pen and it was enough space for them to go through their animations. The other traps I tried ended up being too small and required multiple de-renders to fix the carch so it could start the eating animation. A pre-tenderized diplo (pump health stat only) and rex babies made this a super easy process (+ an elixer if it's available).
The incubation temperature that is suggested is between 99-100degrees but i got green on 40degreees.
If you have a friend and a spawn nearby with a very short cool down, just kick them from tribe, bring friendly untamed over, and kill them, and do the same for your buddy.
Are these on switch ark yet? And are they on the island?
Ok do NOT go near it unless you know it is. It a giga to make a long story short I have no more ammo for my rife
Bro this is ark not jurassic park i swear
So first find a charcha they can be found wherever gigas spawn then kill some dinos like argys Or other things baby rexs give it 100% trust rember that when you taming it then when it's fed ride it and kill wild dinos Or you could tame something and kill it before you star taming it and then cryo it and give it to the charcha and then when the meter is full boom you got a charcha
How to tame
The Carcharodontosaurus is a very powerful dinosaur
But you only need a few things to tame this dinosaur
1: two tyranosaurus rexes, [both need to be opposite gender]
2: cryopod [or just make the baby rex follow you]
3: four stone dinosaur gates
4: one to three large bear traps
5: [optional but highly recommended] fast mount such as raptor, gallimimus or deinonycus
Note that the carcha cannot break stone dinosaur gates so it has the same affect as metal dino gates
Step 1 needs items from section three, four and five
Step 1:Place the stone gates into a square shape BUT only place three sides of the square and save one gate place all your bear traps in the center of the gates and
Bait the carcha via shooting it.
Run from the carcha and jump over the beartraps through the gate the beartrap will trap the carcha and give you enough time t run around the trap and place a gate behind the carcha
now youve got it trapped!
Step 2 needs items from section one and two
Step 2: make the two adult tyranosaurases have their "intimate time" and hatch the egg. Dont get to attached to your adorable killer you need to cryopod the baby rex and bring it to the trap i recommend staying away from the carcha so it doesnt kill the rex
Uncryo the baby rex and wait a second
You need to wait for about 25 seconds since there is a glitch that happens when you kill an uncryopod dino the second you uncryo it.
After the recommended wait time blast that thing to its grave and drag it infront of the carcha
Wait for the carcha to dk its smelling animation walk up to it with the body drop the body of the dead baby rex and step back the carcha will eat it
Now you have its trust!
Now finally since it fully trusts you you can demolish the gates and ride the carcha [W/O saddle but you need tk craft saddle later on]
Now go on a rampage kill anything that moves with the carcha and you got yourself giga 2.0!
Sorry for the long list but i hope it was helpful!
Don’t try to tame it when it’s a ault
To fill the friendship meter, you must bring it corpses. The amount of friendship gained from a corpse is dependant on the corpses drag weight. For example, a managarmr with 250 drag weight will fill up the friendship meter by half, where as a yutyrannus with 500 drag weight will fully fill up the meter. (Note that this works with baby creatures) I’m fairly certain that the actual taming of the carch (killing creatures) is based on their health. So the more health a creature has, the more taming affinity it will reward. Hope this helps :)
Been looking for about 2 real world weeks for this creature and I still can’t find it. Done all the videos and tips on how to find it and stuff. Won’t even let me summon a tamed and wild Carchar. Anyone else having this problem?
These do have the same spawns as gigas btw so if your looking for a Carcha look where you would find a giga.
