What are tips for carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies for carcharodontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you've got one trapped, and it sniffs but doesn't eat, for whatever reason it doesn't like being trapped??? (Imagine that). You can try leaving the area, and letting it re-render but it may not work. My tribe and I ended up having to let it out of the trap, leaving to let everything re-render, and dragging corpses over to it (while it was running around free - so yes, mildly terrifying), then proceeding with the tame.
Pro-tip for feeding: one of the tribe guys is obsessed with breeding and mutations so we had some very OP rexes. We just cryoed abunch of babies, let it out (with cryosickness is easier), unclaimed and killed it, and it literally only took 1 baby rex to let us start riding. Then repeat to let the Carch eat the corpses while you ride, and viola. Your very own spikey giga.
Depending on the server, you can also use baby rexes or spinos to tame one (bringing up it's trust) that can make it go full or most of the way (again depending on the rates) so it'll be much faster then. Just make sure ya trap it 1st
Hope this helps!!!
My taming Method:
1. Trap him
2. Kill any Dino and carry it to him
3. Kill BABY Dinos
4. Kill more (Baby) Dinos
5. Finish
Wear Flak,use shadowmanes for friendly meter and there ya go .
THIS THING IS NOT A KNOCKOUT TAME! Its a passive tame, all you gotta do is use a giga trap using metal gates (don't use stone or weaker) to surround it, once you trap it kill any creature that you can drag and bring over to the carchar, once you get closer it'll turn towards you and sniff the corspe you brought, when it sniff just drop the corpse and it'll eat it and a taming bar will appear above it, just keep bringing it corpses until that bar is filled, once its filled you'll be able to ride it without a saddle, you'll have 10 minutes to kill as much creatures as possible to increase its taming, once the second taming bar gets filled it'll be tamed and you'll get dismounted so be careful.
NOTE: Wild Carchar has around 70K health very similar to the giga.
As of right now it's out. The way to tame it is by trapping it with metal gates and feeding it dino corpses (the bigger the better). Once you do that a hexagon thing will appear. keep feeding it until hexagon turns green then ride it and kill everything you see. Bam! You got a new dino buddy!
Same spawns as a Giga, bring it a dead dino to eat, like mammoths. Mount and kill other creatures. Once done it will be tame. Lvl 96 for saddle. Very similar to a Giga in stats.

Alright so what I used for my 145 charcar was 2 trikes and the trust was full. P. S. Trikes give a little over half trust
Their eggs make yellow Excptional kibble.
so a lot of people seem to not know how to properly tame a carch. you have 2 options; feed it a baby rex (which gives it full trust) or, have fun by killing tons of dinos. I prefer the second method, after that you ride it and kill a ton of creatures, and no, it's not smart to use tamed creatures, as it's faster to kill a ton of small creatures. in extinction it's extremly easy to get 100% effectiveness when taming. by the way, if it has 40% melee starting out, and if you have a giga that has 30% melee, it's mainly because if you tame anything lower than level 30 or so it doesn't have any points in melee.
You don’t need to build an enclosure around the Charcaro to tame it. If you stand slightly outside it’s aggro range, you have plenty of time to kill and drag a baby Rex for it to eat. It will always go for the dead Rex first.
If you bring extra baby Rex’s in cryopods, you can pick up any wild Carcharos you come across without planning.
I heard it’s really good for PVP fights and if it was with a Yuto you’re army would probably be one of the strongest on the server. It has some sort of buff roar by the way. It probably could shred through mid sized creature’s.
It’s not a giga remake but ok.stop being annoying
For those of you who cannot find this magnificent beast trie checking the mountains were gigas spawn if it’s just a giga, kill the giga if you can and then just wait and wait and wait and one of these magnificent beasts should appear but if it’s a Giga again just kill it again if respond if it’s this magnificent beast your looking for trap it in metal cause It can break stone if this helped you find this amazing giga killer You can just it’s not up to me but if you want you can up but if you don’t really wanna do anything just don’t do anything. Cause I don’t really care I’m just trying to help you out
Baby Wyverns work as well, and also try to kill snow owls with it it takes faster
Pve official strategy:
When hunting take with you cryofridge, generator, gas, 2 foundations, 3 babies rex and ofc metal gates and trap (I don’t really use trap with bug). Once it is in the trap, place the foundation and everything, you’ll have 0 issue to fill the bar.
Yw!
