More Carcharodontosaurus Encountering Tips
Bro if you have a good rhynio killing one should be a breeze. I killed one HEAD ON with my rhynio that has 16k health and 600% melee. I was landed in front of him and spammed attack while he hit me back. And i STILL WON. For a higher level i wouldnt suggest taking it head on as the damage output is worlds apart from a low level. It will take a good 20 minutes but you can kill it in the air with relative ease. Btw i also was using a primitive rhynio saddle so this victory was purely because of my rhynio’s stats and no outside stuff.
Fun fact:
carcharodontosaurus, giganotosaurus and allosaurus are are related! They’re classified as “carnosaurs” (not the same at carnoTaurus😉)
They were large carnivores thought very capable of taking down large sauropods due to specific skull structure and teeth design… these guys didn’t have the crushing bite strength of Rex, which destroyed its victims by sheer force, but these carnosaurs were special… they had narrow, long skulls with thin palates and long, very sharp serrated teeth… they were bladelike. The carnosaurs supposedly used these large teeth and thin skulls that presumably also had special shock absorbing necks to slash at the sides and necks of massive long necked herbivores until they bled to death!
That’s why I think the gnash ability is very accurate in this game, and it’s pretty cool.
Carnosaurs also possessed long legs and slender bodies… they were suited for the quick hit and run attack made on these sauropods. Just appreciate these dinosaurs, and appreciate ark for including them.
(Except for the hilarious size of gigas and carchs… not that I really have a problem with it, but you know🤣)
Hope you all enjoyed!
Don’t make these guys angry they will kill you, your pt, your rex, your neighbor, your disowned uncle, and your favorite cartoon character, please be careful.
Carch give almost 4x more xp than a giga.
K really you only find these were Gigas are in highlands mountains snow up it this was helpful
I don’t have to run faster than the carcha. I just have to run faster than my friends.
These can break stone beware of the carcha they will find you and they will eat you
You can kill em with lightning wyverns on rag. Almost died by landing within render of the carch to regain stamina(they are extremely fast), but I eventually killed it. Lightning wyverns do ridiculous amounts of damage.
⚠️These *DO* SPAWN ALONGSIDE GIGAS!⚠️
The person who said they don’t just hasn’t encountered it yet, but many times I’ve had to lure wild Gigas away from a Carcharo to tame it. The spawn areas for these roll for a Giga or Carcharo separately, making it completely possible for both to spawn at once.
