A few things from a guy (me) who spent nightmarish 2h on 145 lvl without gates and cryoed dinos:

- just do it with gates, as you will be torturing yourself because of his broken AI, but remember to make some free space, as when I made him a trap with 4 metal gates he refused to eat as well to bite me, just stood there and did nothing (might be a bug)

- his taming meter nor blue riding meter do not get reduced by attacking or eating wild dinos on his own (haven't tested damage, but getting hurt certainly reduces effectiveness, so it's on the other hand very easy to tame it on 100% effectiveness)

- as there's x3 now on officials, for 145lvl you will be dropped off his back on around 60%+

- not sure if it scales with taming multiplier, but his blue meter above head while feeding him corpses can get filled by (2 trikes) or (2 carbo 1 phiomia/para) (just test anything around as you have nothing to worry because...

- it will never attack you when you drag a corpse, and when it sniffs just drop the body and stay near it around 3-6 times of ur body length away to make it still eat it (as it somehow ignores the body when I instantly run away some distance from it) and be ready to run away (you certainly can do so when it's got an audio of eating)

- if it sniffs the body and goes for a walk (stupid **** AI) you can always safely stay here near the corpse no matter what until 1 of 2 options happens: a) it will be stupid enough to just flee from you 200m+, which will reset the sniff thing b) will make a circle or just walk around you - never stay then IN the body, as it has already sniffed it and after the walk it can get near and eat it, so be ready

- carcha easily gets aggroed on structures - metal things are good, cus it can t destroy them (somehow stops aggroing on before placed structures after first ride)

- be cautious as when it gets enraged (after eating a wild dino) and you don't have a body (to make him peaceful) its speed increases drastically and is able to catch you very very very easily

- don"t stress yourself out about the drops off its back during taming itself, as it does throw you far enough to let you run away from it

- the taming after he drops you off its back does stay for pretty long time no matter how many wild dinos it will hunt during the process, and when it actually starts to decrease, the amounts by which it goes down are very niche

- not sure how hitboxes work, but it broke my leggings after one bite (you can still have 1-2 pieces of flak on yourself and live a bite if you have 200hp like me)

- during riding I realised that everything of trike size and smaller give around identical taming values (killing armies of meganeuras and titanomyrnas are very stonks) (remember I was dealing with wild dinos only)

- if you find yourself on terrain with low to medium amounts of dinos around you don't have to worry, as the time it gives you while riding is exactly enough

Honestly, my tribemates and I have had minimal luck and low taming efficiencies using the trap method.

So we use the cryo baby method or have a two team, one feeding, one killing and dragging who switch off to keep a constant flow of corpses to an uncaged Carchar. You have time, not long so move fast, to get out of kill range after feeding the Carchar solo. For the tag team, usually the other player is bringing in another corpse as the first is finishing a feeding and the Carchar goes from eating to immediately back into its sniffing animation.

Using this method we have had more than a little luck getting 98+% efficiency with Carchar taming. Not to mention, no prep work building a cage, taunting the beast in and having it go on a foodstrike when you're trying to become friends! Frustrating and SO much time lost!

Hope this helps!

On the center:

Spawn at top right volcano sometimes in center (or gigas, their spawns are interchangeable)

*Can also spawn top left snow biome (usually left side under cliff area near cave or bottom (left) ish area)

*Can also spawn right side of bottom snow (only if the others are blocked usually)

*Doesn’t need, nor should use a trap, get an argy and pick and kill babies, kill then a decent amount out of vision range of the carch then bring it to the carch (drag body), it’ll sniff then eat.

*(wild or tamed rex, paracer, and cerato babies insta 100% worthiness)

(All besides spawns are the same, the island they usually spawn on the volcano, near metal mountain, or on one of the snow mountains (usually blue ob)

After spending hours trying to figure out how to tame this brute of a beast, my wife and I found a way that worked like an absolute charm.

First, get a team of at least two people. One person must be wearing ghille armor and get into the charcis area. Be sure to fly in or have at least one decent Argentavis with you.

Second, start a kill pile of animals that can be dragged such as Carnos, trikes, and parasaurs. The bigger the better.

Third, have the player in ghille armor approach the charchi with a kill in hand to activate the handshake. DO NOT use a metal cage or traps as this will cause the charci to bug. Once the charchi begins ro sniff, drop the kill and run away. Repeat this step until the handshake stage is complete and turns green.

The final step requires teamwork. One person must ride the charchi to begin killing animals to start the taming process. The other person must use an argentavis to fly ahead of the charchi and begin wounding large animals such as diplos, brontos, and allosauruses. This way, the charchi can get large kills with almost no effort or damage (which negatively effects the taming efficiency) while preserving as much stamina as possible. Having your teamate fly ahead also allows the player on the charchi to more easily locate prey.

We're on the our second charchi now and this has worked wonderfully. Happy taming!!

Ok so, in order to tame a car, you need 4 Dino gateways, a large bear trap, and a cryopod with baby wyverns in it ( if you don’t have any baby wyverns, a dead wild animal will work too! Just not as well), and a good saddle for when you tame it. You lead it into your trap, and once you have trapped it, kill your Dino of choice ( I recommend baby wyverns very effective!). Once that is done, you should be able to ride it. Just remember it is not tamed yet! Get it out of the trap and kill those baby wyverns. Make sure you get thrown off BEFORE the time runs out. By then, the tame is ruined and you can’t tame it. A good leveled high level car can kill a giga. I will be sure to post a good name on name ideas tab!

You don’t need to trap it….breed some rexes get egg hatch egg put baby in cryo pod take baby to carcharo kill baby drag baby keep ahold of it let charo bit it fills meter in 1 shot…hop on carcharo ride and kill till timer almost done then ride it to a trap put it in trap kill everything around it so it doesn’t lose taking effectiveness..kill another baby rex open door let charo out grab dead baby bring to carcharo rinse and repeat…also back up while chopping Dino’s that fight back to keep taming bar at 100%

To tame get one in a trap, a typical giga trap will work but have extras, and instead of using rhino or killing other dinos bring along some baby Yuti, kill 1 and drag to it, if it eats its an instant ride, dont use giga or rex they worthless use baby yuti, once able to ride tear down one dino gate, run and kill everything, now if timer runs out before tame run it back to cage amd replace gate then use another yuti, rinse and repeat till tamed, you are welcome.

Breed your boss rex. Even the ones I bred with my level one females give me a full friendship bar with one feeding on 1x. Basically, I only use 4 baby rex and one elixir to tame a 150 with 100% effectiveness. If you eat animals and get 20% taming before each timer runs out you will be thrown from Carcharodontasaurus on not lose effectiveness. If you have on Tex suit you can run away from Agro range and kill next baby rex before it gets close. Just pick up fresh kill and repeat with a full friendship bar with each baby rex you kill. I’ve tamed more than 15 this way and now have a nice line of imprinted Carchars. Please try this method.

Baby Rex’s fills it in one shot…hop on it and start killing…back up as you attack every hit from a Dino takes its effectiveness down…you don’t need to trap it…I still can’t figure out why people are trapping it…the desmodus potion works on it as well they last 4 hours so make one before you start hunting for a car….for some reason it kicks at random times so around 200 ish seconds try to keep the Dino in an area that has no other Dino’s if he attacks stuff while your not on him he will lose effectiveness if there is a trap close buy that’s unlocked try to get kicked off inside the trap then repeat it not time sensitive so just get to a safe place…if you have traps on a pve server unlock it so everyone can use it and they don’t have to make their own creating and endless maze of traps in every damn area it spawns lol

Taming in easy no need to trap it just walk up and feed it then run away to another dead body and drag it back to it repeat until it's ready to be tamed. Now as for killing dinos with it looks like it's 5% for ever kill. Also taking damage will reduse taming efficiency. Now ones it's tamed ever point should go into melee. U can take on a wild lvl145 giga if u have almost a 100 boost and u will heal almost as fast as ur taking damage. Best dino ever. Most likely will get nerfed sadly but we will see

Best dinos to feed them are baby Rex’s , spinos and magmasaurs they take one feed to be friends where as everything else’s I had to feed about 5 corpses or maybe more apparently it’s something to do with drag weight so might be other creatures that are as good. Also trapping seems to bug them out for me not sure everyone else’s experience but I let mine roam free. I’m not sure if it’s a bug but I seem to get kicked off the back of them anywhere between the last 60 - 200 seconds of the friendship buff and I still don’t know why yet it never gets to run all the way to 0
