ITS FINALLY OUT

How to tame from what I know so far, you might want to trap it like a giga, then you must drag it bodies like a fjord hawk and after that process is done, you will be able to ride it. Then you must go around and kill things while riding it. It will then tame. Enjoy the new Dino! I know this tip is kinda vague but it’s only been 2 hours since it came out as I write this. You can sub to my Channel on yt it’s Xtra May0

Enjoy your carchars!

Okay, the Carcha just came out officially during today's update (on PS4/PS5 at least, November 5th, 2022) I put one to sleep but no taming options, so... Does anyone have an Idea on how to tame this thing? Tip: don't waste time and narcs putting it to sleep, not the conventional taming. (!)

If you followed my tip when I said I forgot to tell you to add large bear trap…DO NOT DO IT!! I’ve heard that if you trap it they will not eat ever again instead bring it a baby Rex,brontosaurus, spinosaurus , etc by dragging it until it sniffs in the air, then run and repeat to trust bar is full. Though I do think it is cruel to kill the baby dino :(

DONT TRAP THEM it messes with their ai horribly! instead take a baby rex (newborn) and wait a few seconds if you let it out of a cryo so it doesn’t mesh then kill it and drag it’s body to the carcha let the body go and run when it does the sniff animation it should be instantly trusting towards you and all you have to do is ride and go on a killing spree to tame its a lot easier than people seem to think

Whatever trap you decide to use just make sure it gives them enough space to "move" or else their AI will get super weird and make the taming process more miserable than it needs to be. I ended up using 9-10 metal billboards (on flat ground!) to just make a large pen and it was enough space for them to go through their animations. The other traps I tried ended up being too small and required multiple de-renders to fix the carch so it could start the eating animation. A pre-tenderized diplo (pump health stat only) and rex babies made this a super easy process (+ an elixer if it's available).

So first find a charcha they can be found wherever gigas spawn then kill some dinos like argys Or other things baby rexs give it 100% trust rember that when you taming it then when it's fed ride it and kill wild dinos Or you could tame something and kill it before you star taming it and then cryo it and give it to the charcha and then when the meter is full boom you got a charcha

How to tame

The Carcharodontosaurus is a very powerful dinosaur

But you only need a few things to tame this dinosaur

1: two tyranosaurus rexes, [both need to be opposite gender]

2: cryopod [or just make the baby rex follow you]

3: four stone dinosaur gates

4: one to three large bear traps

5: [optional but highly recommended] fast mount such as raptor, gallimimus or deinonycus

Note that the carcha cannot break stone dinosaur gates so it has the same affect as metal dino gates

Step 1 needs items from section three, four and five

Step 1:Place the stone gates into a square shape BUT only place three sides of the square and save one gate place all your bear traps in the center of the gates and

Bait the carcha via shooting it.

Run from the carcha and jump over the beartraps through the gate the beartrap will trap the carcha and give you enough time t run around the trap and place a gate behind the carcha

now youve got it trapped!

Step 2 needs items from section one and two

Step 2: make the two adult tyranosaurases have their "intimate time" and hatch the egg. Dont get to attached to your adorable killer you need to cryopod the baby rex and bring it to the trap i recommend staying away from the carcha so it doesnt kill the rex

Uncryo the baby rex and wait a second

You need to wait for about 25 seconds since there is a glitch that happens when you kill an uncryopod dino the second you uncryo it.

After the recommended wait time blast that thing to its grave and drag it infront of the carcha

Wait for the carcha to dk its smelling animation walk up to it with the body drop the body of the dead baby rex and step back the carcha will eat it

Now you have its trust!

Now finally since it fully trusts you you can demolish the gates and ride the carcha [W/O saddle but you need tk craft saddle later on]

Now go on a rampage kill anything that moves with the carcha and you got yourself giga 2.0!

Sorry for the long list but i hope it was helpful!

To fill the friendship meter, you must bring it corpses. The amount of friendship gained from a corpse is dependant on the corpses drag weight. For example, a managarmr with 250 drag weight will fill up the friendship meter by half, where as a yutyrannus with 500 drag weight will fully fill up the meter. (Note that this works with baby creatures) I’m fairly certain that the actual taming of the carch (killing creatures) is based on their health. So the more health a creature has, the more taming affinity it will reward. Hope this helps :)

You don't need a trap if your using a Rex baby, just hold the body of the baby Rex in your hand and walk up to it, it will sniff the air which means it wants the body your holding, and I found out that a lvl 55 carchar gets 4.5% per baby Rex. So if you wanted to, breed 23 baby rexes, 24 if you include the first offering, and throw them all out on the ground and unclaimed them. Cryo sickness don't matter. And boom, you have a carchar, no wandering about and killing what you can find. I am on a dedicated server using 2.5 taming rates
