THEY ARE VERY POWERFULL

Cage them and then ride them after you kill stuff and have it eat that

If you have no moral compass, like me, if you cryo a baby rex after hatching it, find a carchar, uncryo the Rex and kill it, baby rex’s give 100% trust…. So yeah

I’m going to be honest, taming this is simple…

I know there are other tips, but I’ll try to make this one as simple as I can!

4 metal dino gates and a bear trap will do the trick as far as trapping, and then you may leave it their at your leisure as you gather corpses. I’d recommend your weight capacity being about 400, and you need to completely empty your inventory.

400 weight capacity or over: drag stegos, trikes and carnos into a pile a bit off from the carch.

350 and under capacity: just grab a ton of parasaurs.

Drag a corpse over to your angry, trapped future killing machine and stay out of biting distance until it starts sniffing the air curiously… once it sniffs the ground, immediately drag the corpse and drop it where the carch was sniffing. A trike can fill up to a third of the trust bar, while a parasaur will fill about a quarter of it.

As soon as the corpse has been eaten, take advantage of the few moments of docile behavior from the carch to bring over another corpse quickly. Do this until the trust bar is filled, and then mount the carch.

You now have ten minutes to absolutely annihilate every living creature in your immediate area, and the carch will have its wild stats, too, so this should be easy.

Go for large, slow targets such as mammoths, diplos and paracers… these animals you can hit and back away from to not receive damage. The larger the creature you kill, the more taming progress you get. Taking damage puts taming efficiency down, too, so avoid that.

Pay attention to the blood rage meter in the left bottom corner of the screen, because this is important:

For every kill you get, it puts a point on the meter. Now, if you get to max(which is 100), before your carch is tamed, then you will be bucked off and you’ll have to start over. :(

My remedy is only going for large targets: less kills, more taming progress. If your blood rage is too high nearing the end of the taming cycle, try roaring… I’ve seen people mention that it helps, and in doing that I’ve never been bucked off!

Once tamed, you’ll get kicked off the carch and you’ll need to apply a saddle. Oh, and your carch will lose 54,000 hit points, and about 70% of its damage. But don’t worry, it’s still freaking awesome.

This all sounds complicated, but it was actually easier than taming a giga to me! I strongly recommend taming this dino… it is strong, extremely fast, and looks incredibly good. Blood rage also gives a boost in regeneration and after each kill your carch makes, it has 9 seconds of speed boosted by 60%. The blood rage stacks also give increased damage, so this is like a giga that you can kind of enrage on command by killing something… it’s pretty cool.

And look at that. I thought this would be short.

Happy taming, guys!

I have done this before so this is how to tame.

1. Prepare

Large bear trap

Four metal dino gateways

3 cryopoded baby rexes

4 cyropoded dinos with HIGH health

a flier

2. Locate

Look around mountains only one can spawn at a time so look hard!

3. Set up

Set three dino gateways making a box with one open side put bear trap in middle

4. Lead the carchar into the trap and then place the final gateway

5. Get a baby Rex cryo sick, unclaim it, and feed it to the carchar DO NOT TRANQ THE CARCHAR

6. Get one of your high health dinos cryo sick, unclaim it and mount the carchar and eat it

7. Ride the carchar into the trap and repeat

8. If you run out of big dinos to feed run around the wild and kill wild dinos

9 Enjoy your carchar!

Thx for reading, this took a while to make, so if it was helpful you know what to do!

Crack crack crack… what was that? Well if looks could kill you would have died right there and then, This is the Carcharodontasaurus! Wanna tame one yourself? Where to find some? Or maybe how to defend yourself? All of those will be answered in one massive tip! So let’s jump in!

So where would you find one? They have the same spawn points as gigas, so if you want to find eithor of these apex predators that’s where you have the best chance of finding them. (Do note that they are a rare spawn)

How would you defend yourself? If you don’t have a flying tame next to you, then you can consider yourself very very dead. Other than that Carcharodontasaurus have a gnash defect they can inflict, very similar to that of a Giga.

Alright and that leaves us with how tame one, starting with all the supplies you will need: a tribe mate, a wyvern, 5-9 metal gateways, a simple bed and foundation, some large beartraps, and loads of patience. Start by finding one, fly a decent 150 meters away from it, (to avoid grabbing its attention while making the trap) and place the metal gateways in a circle, while leaving a opening. (Try not to make the circle to small because the Carcharodontasaurus HAS to move or the taming process will break) now that the cage is set, place the beartraps in the middle of the trap. The hard part is getting the Carcharodontasaurus into the trap. Use the wyvern to grab the Dino’s attention and lure it to the trap, and right when it enters and hits a trap, you run behind it and place the final gateways insuring the Dino stays in. Have your tribe mate watch the Carcharodontasaurus, while you grab the wyvern and grab large dinos, or vise versa, and bring them back to the enclosure, have your tribe mate kill it, while you grab more (keep doing this until you have a pile of dead things). So now your ready for the grueling taming process: have your tribemate drag dead animals to you, while you (hopefully having armor on) drag it and hold it near the Carcharodontasaurus, (the Carcharodontasaurus should sniff the air, and walk towards you, reach down and eat the corpse) after eating the corpse you gain a friendship meter, (this is a good thing) however you have to be quick, with haste continue dragging Dead Dino’s to the Carcharodontasaurus, and when the friendship meter is completely full, break down the side of the trap, and ride the Carcharodontasaurus. It is not tamed yet, but this is the last step and it’s the easiest: Go on the worlds bloodiest merciless dino massecre you possibly can. Eventually after eating and killing enough Dino’s the Carcharodontasaurus will have full taming effectiveness and then you have your very own Carcharodontasaurus! :D

Thx for reading! :D

Eat rare flowers while riding that beast. Wild Dinos love that.

And dont forget to remove your metal gates after taming... so other survivors can try it too

After taming 3 carchars, this is what I have learned:

-the best way to trap these fellas is a 1x1 of metal dino gateways. You must have a bear trap in the middle of 3 gates to trap the carchar and then put up the 4th gate

-when trapped, the bastards will often refuse to eat, in order to fix this you can leave the corpse by it and simply go out of render from it. All tames must be out of render for this to work. If you left the corpse by it’s feet like I earlier said then by the time you come back the corpse will be eaten and the carchars progress will rise

-In the process of leaving and entering render to reset them, it a a must that you do this in a swiftly manner, as if you load in the carchar before you load the trap in the charcar has a large chance of meshing through your trap. I like to use a dino which can quickly elevate and dive for this

-when you have fed them enough corpses their progress bar will turn green and you can ride them, leave up the trap except for one gateway and start killing anything you see

-it is a good idea to head for highly populated areas instead of going for big kills

-elixirs do work on them so make sure you pop one when the car gets to 70% taming

-I’m not sure if this is possible with our rates yet, but if the car gets to a 99 kill streak it is very important that you roar. If you don’t and you hit a streak of 100 you will be kicked off of the car. Some dinos give a higher boost than just one, so if you feel as though you are getting to close to 100 you should roar sooner

-If you don’t get to 100% before the ten minutes is up it is much easier if you walk the car back into the old trap while you still have control of it. If you would like, you can also put up a new trap around the car while you still have control

-each time you have to feed and mount the car it’s timing effectiveness will tank. It will also fall if you take damage so make sure you don’t hit creatures with a thorn aspect like arthlos or kentros. It is also important that you negate all fall damage by jumping off of them because this drops their effectiveness as well

Um, shouldn’t all large carnivores be tamed this way, logically? Instead of shooting them with 100+ arrows/darts tipped with drugs so that they get knocked unconscious and then you somehow force meat down their throat?

Not asking anyone to change anything, but it is curious to me. Carch is the only one getting fair treatment here.🤣

If you really need one of these perfect tamed, and accidentally get hit during taming, you can get off and KO it to feed it Archelon sushi to restore effectiveness. Might take a while for it to wake up however…. Debatably worthwhile

Best way to tame these (based off what I've seen and this crazy thing I call logic and experience)

1. Cryo a baby dino or two that has high drag weight as adult (bronto/rex/spino/etc) you might wanna check drag weight vs your max weight and empty your inventory completely (keep the cryo of course)

2. Make a saddle for a carchar and bring that too

3. Find carchar on a fast flier/high health flier with high stamina

4. Lead carchar somewhere near lots of easy to kill, preferably passive dinos but keep it from starting its rampage

5. When the carchar is no longer aggroed, go a small, but not too small distance away, put the saddle in your flier's inventory if necessary

6. Uncryo your sacrifice(s) and end them

7. Walk up to (should be passive) carchar while dragging a body, if it sniffs and roars into the sky, dash to your flier/away from your flier if you're willing to save it.

Alternatively, if it sniffs politely and curiously, drop the dead body, if you brought two babies, grab the other one while breathing heavily, the carchar might eat both so stay back a fair distance, repeat the process with this one if necessary

8. If the carchar likes the offering(s), the carchar will smile at you and offer you a ride, if not, step 7, then step 1 again

9. Get up on the glorious murder machine and go to the dinosaurs nearby, do a spin for them and compliment their scales

10. Then demolish all of the dinosaurs in a roaring, gruesome rampage while they all beg for forgiveness

11. Once tamed, the carchar's spikes will hurt your butt and you'll have to get off

12. Give your carchar a saddle, now you'll feel better

13. Continue step 9 until you get bored and head back to base
