Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carcharodontosaurus.
Easy Carchar taming method that I like using:
Use your throwaway tames, or tame diplos.
Level points ONLY into health. The more points into health, the more quicker you can tame the Carchar.
Next, find a Carchar, DO. NOT. TRAP. IT. It will not eat the corpses you bring if it is in a trap. It will also bug out, better to do it without one.
Now you have 2 options, use a throwaway tame or use any Dino in the area to feed the Carchar.
The best way I found, is to use an unclaimed tame that has a lot of points into health - preferably 100k.
Next, drag whatever corpse you chose to the Carchar, and WAIT for the sniffing animation. It doesn’t matter if you also walk up to it after it finished sniffing the air, it will solely focus on the corpse, make sure you run away asap though.
The more the corpse has health, the faster the Carchar will let you ride it. Please remember that.
After dragging the corpses and the Carchar is letting you ride it, you can either go around on a murder spree OR use your throwaway tames.
I used my throwaway rexes that had 100k health in them - here’s the fun part.
Instead of focusing on your Carchar munching away at the rex for 5 hours, you can whistle passive (before bringing taming the Carchar, recommend doing it before you start bringing the corpses) unclaim, then damage your tame till it is VERY bloody.
Once you did that, bring over your Carchar and make sure you are RIDING IT; manually attack your unclaimed tame, and boom. Taming efficiency goes up a bunch.
Highly recommend diplos or rexes with over 100k health as it will tame so much faster, don’t forget to damage them enough so it only takes a few bites for your Carchar!
TDLR: more health on dinos = faster Carchar taming.
Hope this helps!
Once you find one kill anything and drag the dead body over to it(do not drop it or when it eats the dead body it will not up taming) once fed enough you can start the riding mini-game where you need to ride it and kill everything you can find until tamed
If you drag food and it walks away DONT CHAS E IT!! It will come back..
Sacrificing 3 Diplos with around 78k health each will give a perfect tame. Did this yesterday on a single player world and managed to get a 150 male Carcha (tamed 225), only issue is you've got to surround the carcha in metal gates and place a behemoth gate and door in between the Carcha and Diplo in order to prevent the Carcha from eating the Diplo without you mounting it
Use a baby rex for 100% trust if you dont have any just find trikes
If you're on the killing spree part of the tame, stay away from deep water at ALL costs!!! I just lost a perfect 150 Carcha in the snow biome (The Island) at around 70% taming because a yuty's attack knocked the carcha off a cliff and into the ocean (messed up physics, I know) and no matter how hard I tried to salvage it it still ended up drowning. Additionally, for all on ARK UME single-player, one yuty baby is enough for 100% trust (which is what I used). However, I noticed that sometimes the carcha will eat the corpse and not gain any trust, but going out of render distance before feeding it the second yuty seemed to work. Good luck everyone!!!
To Perfect Tame a Carcha you must need to gain its trust meter using babies of these
Diplo
Yuty
Rexes
Now for the Rampage it was TESTED The Higher the Health in Levels the Better Effectiveness use DIPLODOCUS for 0 dmg and high hp for best taming
Just don't let it get hit for taming effectiveness mostly, idk how many I've tamed thinking that it wouldn't effect the efficiency.. just tamed a 130 at 98% efficiency with sanguine elixer and not letting it get hit. X.x
No trap necessary! I’ve tamed 6 now and no trap is easier than dealing with the trap. Mate high level rexes, hatch eggs, and cryopod the babies. Find Carchar, kill ALL dinos in the immediate area. At a safe distance but in sight of carchar get high level baby rex(s) out of cryopod, kill them, drag to carchar and let them sniff and eat. Number of baby rex needed is dependent upon carchar level and your server taming rates. I recommend only killing one rex at a time otherwise carchar may end up going over to your pile and eating them and that will do you no good, trust me. If on extinction I recommend luring the carchar back into the snow biome if it has ended up out in the wasteland. The random spawning of corrupted can really add another level of difficulty to this tame.
In theory, you could use a mind wipe tonic, pump most your stats into weight and kill some adult rexes at the sight to use for feeding. I haven’t tried that though so experiment at your own risk.
On Extinction they spawn regularly on the outer edge of the snow biome from the southeast to southwest corner of the biome. I’ve found them on both sides, just inside or just outside of the biome.
They take forever to raise and imprint but they are well worth it if you can get some high level breeders. They are a giga on steroids with a better turning radius, a stamina boost, and a blood rage buff that drastically increases melee and heals them faster than they can take damage. I raised 6 that started around level 150 and got them mostly imprinted. Just riding one I am unstoppable, I can handle a purple supply drop up to wave 5 and not even be close to losing the carchar or dying myself. Unfortunately I lose the drop because there are more Dino’s spawning than one person and mount can handle.
Like all big Dino’s they don’t handle fall damage well so be careful there.
So friend and I tamed one this morning. Mated my rexes got 4 eggs to about 8% from hatching.(boosted hatch rates). Took the eggs close to where the carchar was, hatched one egg. Killed the rex and my buddy carried it up til it looked at him dropped the body and ran a little bit. Carchar ate the corpse and was ready to be mounted. No cage needed just got to have some massive balls.
Y'all don't actually need to trap it and prepare a baby Dino if U have a rhyniognatha, y'all just need to find a nearby rex or spino, carry it ALIVE to somewhere near the carcha but not near enough for it to notice U, kill the rex or spino U carried here and drag the body with ur rhyniognatha, it will be slow asf but trust the process. Once the carcha do a SNIFF animation just wait there for it to eat ur offering(btw if Ur wearing ghillie take it off just incase) and if it shows a green sign at top of it's head then congrats now just ride it and kill anything U see until it fully trust U(note that U might want a second flier or a parachute cuz rhynio won't follow U, maybe even a sleeping bag just incase ur didn't have time to react when it throws U off after tame)
Day 2: Charcharadontasauraus
Information:
The Charcharadontasauraus is one of the best Dino’s in the entire game with stats rivaling even the giga and has even more abilities and is an exceptional mount that can easily traverse the whole map and, with its amazing movement speed, very quickly. However, there is one major drawback: an extremely difficult tame and can eat right through any structure below metal. It has a wide range of different attacks including a basic front facing bite and I high power 360 tail spin that sends most creatures flying. It has one of the best abilities in the game, which is a stackable kill buff, and it stacks up to a hundred times, and with a full 100 buffs it can solo a wild giga.
Base stats:
Its health is absolutely incredible, ranking in at #3 next to only the titanasaur and the giga. Its melee is also astonishing with only 4 other creatures dealing more damage at 211 per hit on its base attack at level 1. The only major drawback to these amazing stats is that they get lowered an insane amount upon taming.
Taming:
The Carcharadontasaurus has an odd and unique way of taming that includes mounting it and killing other wild dinos, but before you can go off and kill other stuff, you need to trap it and feed it a dead dino. To trap it all you need is a flier, 4 metal dino gateways and a large bear trap. First, you will need to place down three of the four metal gateways in a U shape with one at the back and two on either side facing the same direction. You will then need to put the bear trap at the back of the trap, at the bottom of the U shape. Then, you will need to get on your flier and get the Charcha’s aggro and fly over the trap with it chasing you and lead it into the bear trap. You will then need to quickly run around to the back of the Charcha and place down the last gateway behind it, trapping it in the square of gates. The next thing you will need to do is, if possible, cryo a baby rex and bring it to your Charcha. You will need to throw out the baby Rex and kill it, then drag it to the Charcha and feed it to it. This will completely fill up its trust meter, allowing you to then destroy one of the gateways and mount the Charcha. If possible, try to get to a highly populated area with lots of dinos everywhere and kill everything you see. The bigger a dino is the more taming progress it will supply, but tons of small dinos can also be very effective. Once tamed, I would suggest putting four out of every five points into melee and the other one wherever you see best fit depending on you Charcha’s base stats, but that is just my recommendation, and if you want to do something else, feel free to.
What’s with everyone trapping these, they’re insanely easy to tame , just get a baby Rex or whatnot, then it’s a free Carcha!.
Typically they spawn where ever gigas spawn. Once found one you have to kill some animals preferably a wholly Rhino. once you have the corpse it's a passive tame so makes it better to tame. Slowly walk up behind the Cardo wait till it sniffs the air and run away so it can it can be eaten. When the the hexagon is full above it hop on it as fast as you can and kill everything till it's tamed.
Make sure not to take fall damage while trying to get your kills in. It lowers the taming effectiveness a lot!
I actually play solo because I can't figure out how to join a server(it always kicks me out :/) meaning I dont have a tribe and things to help me, so when I want to tame a carcha, I usually use a Rhyniognatha( you dont have to, any flyer works) because they are pretty fast and reliable, so I find a carcha(usually in the cold biome on The Island map), use keys to hatch a rex egg because its to cold to incubate, and drag it straight to the carcha without a trap because I dont have to worry about it attacking me, since baby rexes usually give 100% trust, meaning you can ride the carcha instead of it attacking you.
During the process you have to ride and kill stuff after giving it dead body's but to do the ride process try to make the carca be near the red woods because it gets tryst points for killing bugs and other stuff in the red woods
