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

My tribe did this once. Instead of taming a high level carch, they gained its trust. For the 10 minutes, they used its wild stats to absolutely DECIMATE a enemy tribe, including their giga (which was low level) and the massacre got it tamed. They used it to its highest advantage, and some of you should try that too

Don't cryosick this puppy. It takes so long to get up i had a beard when it finally woke up... 😁

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

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!

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

Don’t do this near an argentavis it will eat the dead body

Has a bloodrage buff that counts kills up to 100 and slowly decays when you don't make kills. At full rage, does x2.75 damage. Gets a 10 sec buff after every kill that greatly increases movement speed and gives stun immunity. Much tighter turn radius than a giga, runs faster, a little better stamina scaling. Seems like either bloodrage or the speed buff heals it a bit as well. Has a roar that zeros out the bloodrage counter. I'm told the roar gives a speed buff to allies. Tail spin attack a similar to a Reaper. Overall, it is comparable to or better than a giga in most respects.

If you're on the killing spree part of the tame, stay away from deep water at ALL costs!!! I just lost a perfect 150 Carcha in the snow biome (The Island) at around 70% taming because a yuty's attack knocked the carcha off a cliff and into the ocean (messed up physics, I know) and no matter how hard I tried to salvage it it still ended up drowning. Additionally, for all on ARK UME single-player, one yuty baby is enough for 100% trust (which is what I used). However, I noticed that sometimes the carcha will eat the corpse and not gain any trust, but going out of render distance before feeding it the second yuty seemed to work. Good luck everyone!!!

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!

It's like a giga lite version, easier tame for sure since you just need eyes and a dead body to tame one. You don't necessarily need sacrifices like baby rexes, or brontos though it will make it a thousand times easier (as if it wasn't easy enough) and traps? You can play it safe but it's such a hassle to trap one.

This is how I tamed a lvl. 145

Stockpiling wild animals near the carcha, carrying ankys, trikes, and allos, or maybe carnos near the carcha, but not near enough for the carcha to eat em. By using a rhyniognatha, DO YOU NEED A RHYNIOGNATHA?absolutely not, carrying is just easier, but you can just pull aggro on the wild animals with other fliers.

Then, kill the wild animals. THOUGH, YOU NEED 300+ WEIGHT to carry bigger animals for more trust, 100 weight is fine, there's a reason why you stoc pile wild animals.

𝙉𝙊𝙒, 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙄𝙎 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙐𝙂𝙂𝙔 𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏

Once you drag a dead body near it, it should sniff the air. Stand still. There's a chance it might bug and you won't get trust from the body. After it's done doing the sniffing animation, RELEASE THE BODY AND RUN! them eating the bodies is still an attack. You can die from this.

Kill the other stockpiled animals, drag them to the carchar and repeat till it gets full trust.

𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙄𝙎 "𝙏𝙍𝙐𝙎𝙏"?

In Carchar taming, trust is the hexagon thing with the Dino foot symbol on top of the Carchar after feeding a body to the Carchar, if it doesn't show, then it's likely the dead body got bugged and didn't insert to the Carchar's trust bar. If you see the carchar's symbol on top green, then you can ride it.

After the trust symbol green, you have 10 minutes to ride and kill things with it. DO NOT dismount while it's attacking things, You will die because of the carchars bite. It is still a wild Dino, so it can still kill you and your dinos and tribemates.

𝘾𝘼𝙍𝘾𝙃𝘼𝙍 𝙏𝘼𝙈𝙄𝙉𝙂

Now, you DO NOT need a crap ton of preparation for this, just kill stuff while riding it, the tips that say you need a baby Rex, bronto etc, are partially true, If you're on flat mountains, like the highlands in Ragnarok, there's plenty of apex creatures near you, (Don't try to kill gigas or titanos, or other carchas though it'll ruin the taming effectiveness) what I would suggest is killing rexes, brontos or ANYTHING LITERALLY ANYTHING! sure, the taming effectiveness would go down, but just a lil bit.

Btw, you can actually tame this early game without traps or proper preparation, it'll just take longer. as long as you have a flyer

That's how I tamed a lvl 145, so honestly easy, but fun as hell

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

Baby spino is also an insta trust bar fill just a heads up

I was going to blue obelisk to fight Megapithecus, and saw a level 9 of one these bad boys. I told my friend that I’m going to keep our army as far as I possibly could from that thing, then the rexes start running, me and my friend look over, and they are fighting. I have no choice, I send in the whole army for the most scariest battle of my life, I thought I would win. 30 seconds later I lost 19 rexes, 1 yuty, myself, and my friend. DO NOT GO NEAR THESE THINGS IF YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY.

I just found a level 10 giga and then 10 meterd away from that a level 30 giga… then 60 meters to the right a level 100 charcharo im planning on sacrificing a baby rex to it wish me luck guys

The Critical Carcharodontosaurus

DIFFICULTY LVL:- 8/10 [ARDUOUS]

IN ORDER TO TAME A CARCHARODONTOSAURUS:-

THINGS YOU'LL NEED:-

1. A Shotgun or anything that can kill dinos easily.

2. 5 Metal Gates to trap it and a Large Bear Trap. (It can damage stone).

TAMING:-

METHOD NO. 1:

Kill the dinos nearby and now leave their corpse. Then build 4 Metal Gates in a round formation. Then put the Large Bear Trap. Moving forward, if you have a quick mount (such as a Thylacoleo, Gallimimus etc) or a flyer (such as Argentavis, Griffin etc) or even barefoot by putting some points in speed trap it in the Large bear trap and then quickly put the 5th Metal Gate behind it.

Once trapped, feed it a corpse and then a Trust Metre appears on the Carcharodontosaurus. Feed it more dead bodies. When the Trust Metre/Bar gets completed/full, you can ride on it and kill creatures. There will be a time limit for it. If the time limit gets over, you'll get dismounted and you know next. If you kill the creatures before the time limit, you'll own yourself a Carcharodontosaurus :D

DIFFICULTY:- 6/10 [INTERMEDIATE]

FACTS:-

1. It's saddle unlocks on lvl 96 an needs:-

590 Hide

350 Fibre

180 Metal Ingot

250 Chitin/Keratin or Shell Fragment

2. It's basically way more faster than a Giganotosaurus

So, faster = deadlier. However the Giganotosaurus hits harder but slower.

3. It's more stronger in long battles as the Giganotosaurus hits hard but Carcharodontosaurus scales up during long battles, making it more deadlier the longer it fights.

4. It has a rage mode like the Giganotosaurus called Bloodrage Mechanic. The more dinos it kills, the damage, movement speed and health regeneration increases. When fully stacked, it can surpass a Giganotosaurus.

5. It can damage structures upto stone like the Giganotosaurus.

THANKING YOU TO SEE THIS TIP :)

OUR PREVIOUS PRO TIP:- The Supreme Spinosaurus

Watch Syntac's video for taming this creature is the best advice I can give. Best of luck.

The person who said it’s only tamed for ten minutes is wrong they just didn’t understand the taming process you feed it creature bodies (gallimimus is favorite) then you can ride it but it’s not “your friend” you have to kill things with it wile you ride it then it’s tamed forever this person just didn’t do the last part of taming

Carch give almost 4x more xp than a giga.
