More Carcharodontosaurus Encountering Tips
Me and my dad were getting metal at the volcano and we saw a stuck charcardontosaurus, so I was like no way I’m going in there, but my dad was like it’s stuck it’ll be fine. So he went in but I stayed flying. We were both on argys btw. He goes in turns out, surprise, surprise, the charcardontosaurus wasn’t stuck and he got one shotted, buuuuut his level 80 argy literally one v oned that charcardontosaurus and beat him!
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!
I saw one of these for the first time on my 225 Spino me being the goober thinking that it would be an easy kill 1v1ed this thing…. Mind you this thing was way lower less than 100 than my spino and my spino was all malee and health…. I died… avoid these at all costs even if you think that you have the tankiest Dino.
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.
Do not get too close to these guys if you aren’t taming them because they are fast too fast i have like 190% into movement speed into my survivor and one of these guys could easily catch up to me
K really you only find these were Gigas are in highlands mountains snow up it this was helpful
The carcharodontosaurus and the giga spawn in multiple different locations and share spawns consisting of all 4 of the corners in ark gen 2, a good way to trap it is using dino gateways and large bear traps.
I don’t have to run faster than the carcha. I just have to run faster than my friends.
So if u are looking to find one of these guys in ragnarock I always find them on the beach at the highlands BUT BEWARE THEY SPAWN WITH BIG BOI GIGAS!
