Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carcharodontosaurus.
Use baby Rex to tame 1 is enough to fill friendship meter I’ve tamed 5 in a few hrs this way
You can cryopod high level baby Rex's unclaim then and use the charch to kill the Rex's to make sure taming effectiveness is high
For best taming strategy see the wiki.
This thing gave me a devil of a time taming it. The first thing you should do it to make an enclosure that will trap it. DO NOT USE BEAR TRAPS, they are ineffective and only trap it for a short amount of time! Make sure that there is a small hole for you to walk though. Leave a space big enough for the carchar to enter. Lure the carchar over with a corpse. Trap him in. Kill more dinosaurs and bring them in through that hole you made. When the bar is almost full bring that final corpse MAKE SURE HE SNIFFS IT and demolish some of the walls. Ride it, kill everything you se and viola! Carchar at your service!
Once you have this bad boy trapped give him a few Andrews as a sacrifice then slaughter all who stand in your way and you will have a fine berserker at your side for many raids and your journey to valhalla thor be with you brothers and may Odins wisdom guide you
I tamed on and they are a pain to take I wish you could just knock em out instead of passive tame but you can force tame them but if not trap them in a 1×1 metal gates plus place 3 down first then large bear trap once car triggers trap place #4 down then take bodies to it preferably Diplo's and throwaway rex's once bar turned green go ride it and kill things DO NOT TAKE DAMAGE or the taming gos down 👇👇
What I did was build 2 metal beh gates at either end and 4 metal Dino gates between for length. Just a long box basically. The circle trap was causing the carcho to get stuck in a falling state so make it straight. Have sanguine elixir on hand and don’t stray to far from your trap because you will definitely have to retrap on higher levels. Remember your max weight is what determines what dead Dino’s you can drag.
Keep in mind that the taming bar is based on the drag weight of the creature your feeding it, so one of the best is using rhinos and trikes
Use stone or metal gates and place a lot of them
Ok so what i do to tame this beast is if i see one i drag a dead trike or stego and feed it and just power boost away with tek armor and keep repeating these steps in tell this beast is tamed👍🏻
You do not have to trap at all if you breed your boss rex and kill the babies. I get a full friendship bar with one and hop straight on Carchar as soon as they eat the one. Just hatch and cryo babies till needed. Most people have 18 or so boss Rex.
build a trap with 4 small metal archways and a behemoth archway, then kill 1 of your babyrexes, and drag him to him.. if he doesn't eat open the door and get him back in the trap. when riding only kill animals that don't do too much damage to you. approx. 5 times 20% taming step at x1. it is wise to put it back in the trap shortly before it expires. much luck
Trap it like a giga to feed it corpses, once the meter is full you can ride it and kill stuff for 10minuts in an attempt to tame it. Lower hp but otherwise same stats as a giga but with great abilities. Gotta say it's a really nice tame
If your lazy and just want to test it out (like me) just use this command: SDF Carc 1 150
Hey just for those who don't know about this strategy yet but me and my friends had used ghille suits and left a large bear trap when things get sticky but hope fully this was helpful
If you bring 100 max level boss dodos this guy will make them into kfc
Uses same spawn as giggas so kill gigga and wait for one to spawn takes a while
Trapping a charchar on console seems to cause it to not really eat anything, so my best advice to the PlayStation players who lack tek armor, would be to use ghillie, cactus broth, etc to make it not see you, or a fast tame very nearby somehow, it’s tricky.
By using baby boss rexes, a 150 lvl Carcharodontosaurus only needs one and the bar is instant full for you to ride. We killed the baby it with a lightning wyvern and just dragged it to the Carcha. He was happy and it was way quicker than killing wild dinos to drag. Do not trap it since there is a "bug" that can prevent them from taking the snack from you until they are set free again.
Use 3 metal dino gateway and a large bear trap. Once inside, close with a 4th gateway. Kill a baby diplo or bronto and offer the sacrifice, may take 2 sacrifices but be ready. Once over the creature and out of the trap, try to kill large creatures like diplo, after every kill it gains damage immunity for a few seconds but try to not expose the dino to attacks and you maybe tame it with 100% effectiveness.
Do these spawn on gen 2?
