What are tips for carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies for carcharodontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Wanders around aimlessly or just stays idle when you trap it :/
In order to tame it, you need to kill and bring Dino corpses to it(it will do a sniffing animation). It will then feast on the corpse and you will see a friendship meter, bring dead dinosaurs to it in order to fill up that meter. Once full, you will have a max of 10 minutes to ride the Carcharadontasaurus and kill all dinosaurs in site in order to raise it's taming bar, just know it loses slight taming effectiveness when taking damage from dinosaurs, it loses a great amount of effectiveness when you get thrown off, if this happens, simply just do back the first step until the meter is full again. It has a bite which induces a thrash effect which slows down healing, it's second ability is a tail swipe or spin. Good luck.
First step: Trap in large bear trap to make this easier, drag over and offer it dead dinos.
Second step: Jump on and make it eat all the things.
Not sure if it was just me, but I think there’s a minimum size of creatures that you can feed to the Carcha. I found that out when I tried feeding it a Doedicurus. Hope this helps!
If i am right it means that it has the power of a yuty, the power of a megatherium but with everything and over time and is the size of a giga (more or less) this could easily replace some certain tames in boss fights or PvP raids,
but the power could easily be nerfed or they could easily make it very hard to tame as a balance.
This will probably be a new go to creature
DIPLODOCUS are the best for finishing stage 2 of taming, because the effectiveness is based of LEVELED HEALTH ~ Obito Uchiha
Feed it gallys that’s all I can say
Just as a tip for the second stage I would recommend unclaimed diplos since they don’t do damage you won’t be at risk of losing that precious taming effectiveness as well as that they give a lot in that second stage!
If you trap one feed it 1 baby yuty because they give full friendship then ride it and things that attack back will ruin taming effectiveness and baby wyverns are best for taming it up. I hope you enjoy your new friend
When it roars and begins chasing you find a big Dino and make the car hit it then run off
This is actually deceptively easy to tame if you do a little setup. You will need of creatures with super high health you don't mind losing (cryopodded), a baby yutyrannus(cryopodded), a large bear trap or two, and 4 metal dinosaur gateways. Once you find your carch, place down 3 of the gates in a \_| shape, with the opening facing your carch. Place your bear trap(s) inside. After that lead the carch into your trap, preferably with something that's fast and can take hits. Once it's in the bear traps, place a final dino gate completing the square. Once that's done, put all your carnivorous creatures on passive, and slaughter the baby yutyrannus. Drag it's corpse over to the carch wich should sniff the air and then eat it. Beware of argentavis, as they will steal the corpse. Once it has eaten the corpse, the carch will temporarily become ridable. Dismantle one side of the trap and walk it out. Next, you'll want to uncryo your high health tame and make sure it is cryo-sleeping. Once it is, unclaim it and then mount the carch and eat it. Repeat the past two steps until your carch is tamed.
The trust part of taming goes by drag weight. A rex will give it 100% trust, Yuty is 75%, Stego and Trike are 50%. On the killing part of the taming it goes by XP. So higher level and bigger dinos tame faster. Just avoid taking too much damage and roar at 99 kills or it will kick you off and have to do friendship again. Good luck and hope this helps.
These things are VERY fast, faster = more lethal. Don't mess around with land Dinos nearby this creature
THEY ARE VERY POWERFULL
Cage them and then ride them after you kill stuff and have it eat that
From experience: If you don't fill the trust bar in one feed the Carchar WILL aggro on you. Have a flier ready! These don't do well trapped. Once it sniffs the body/notices your offer, drop the body and book it back to your flier.
They spawn basically every giga spawn so in rag they spawn in the highlands desert and 30 20 ish
Catch are not good without rage buff, full rage buff and easily 1v3+ a giga BUT ONLY WITH FULL BUFF
Can take it in boss fights ?
With high level army
