Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carcharodontosaurus.
After you trap one you can use a pachyrhinosaurus too attract a bunch of wild stuff to you then kill them and feed it for the taming.
You don’t need a metal gate to trap one stone gates, does the job done feed it and you have a new carca
It may look easy or might be easier to tame.
You just need at least creatures with drag weight, mainly
•𝐑𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐬, 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐬
•𝐆𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐬
•𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨
• 𝐘𝐮𝐭𝐲
Or anything that's an apex predator or a creature around and above 500 drag weight
Though you might need to get their baby variants via tamed creature breeding, for those who might not have cryopods (like me) you might wanna pre-hatch the egg (Keeping the egg incubation at 5 or more) then kill once it's ragdolled, and slowly but steadily sacrifice the baby to rise the trust meter if it's drooling (passive state with head close to her body) if it sniffs, it's good to drop the sacrifice and back up a a few meters away because you'll never know when she'll jump or not, make sure to at least keep carnivores away from the sacrifice corpse because they'll eat it (why keep them away alive? Because you need it for the second phase)
Once that's done and allows mounting, just jump at least any creature, (mostly the bigger ones with health) and try not to get hit because if you get hit or accidentally jumped off the landscape (due to it's speed) that decreases the taming efficiency and since the Carcha has a hell lotta damage it might be easier, though It'll be reduced by 80% once tamed but to tame it you'll have to avoid reaching 100 kills, getting damage on the Carcha too badly or letting the time run out because they will get the Carcha buck you off and bite you.
(I just realized this could be shortened)
Its found at mountains ( except the redwood mountain ) now to tame it? trap it with gates then feed it (dont make it a bit spacial it like to roam) or just have bodies nearby (make sure you dont feed it too close to the bodies or it may eat all of them) once you gain its trust kill large dinos (rex,bronto,diplo,etc) or dinos that are in groups (hyenadon,stegos,dire wolves,trikes,etc) trap it = expensive
nearby bodies = risky
Trap it, kill and drag a couple woolly rhino corpses to it. Do not drop the corpse, it will sniff then eat. You must make the kills. You can then ride it briefly and kill things to give taming progress. You can sacrifice tames for this. Doesn't seem to work with babies. Use caution, it's highly aggressive during the entire process and can hit you while you're feeding or dismount you while riding and attack you. As it makes kills, it gets a bloodrage buff that massively spikes damage output.
Seems to get a larger friendship boost from dead carbonemys, trikes are pretty close second....definitely recommend killing your own tames for food because if you hunt the friendship timer goes down way too fast
One baby yutyrannus also fills the trust bar
If you got a baby, maeguanas cant pick them up to raise them so you gotta do it the old fashion way
It is actually a very simple tame
1.place 3 metal billboards sothat it looks like an n
2.place 2 large bear traps inside
3.lead the carch into the trap and place the last billboard
4.kill animals and feed it to him or you can feed him a baby Rex they give 💯 trust.
5.once the trust meter is full you can ride it and kill animals until the taming is full
6.give your carch a saddle and name ( saddle unlocks on lvl.96)
7.upp sothat I can rest my fingers from this long tip 😢 😹
Bugged as hell. Prepare to die lots and spend hours raging trying to tame these asshats. If anything can go wrong, it will. Enjoy
If you have no moral compass you can trap the charchar and kill your baby yuty to feed it that will probably make the fill the trust meter up fully and get a few of your high HP diplodocus and kill them with the charchar and now you have a charchar
Step 1: trap it with help from bear traps
Step 2: get a stock pile of dead bodies (turtles and Andrew worked best for me)
Step 3: tame it
Note: my server has 5x taming and a 30min decomp time
I completed to tamed.First trape with 4 metal dino gate then you go outside the distraction range of Carcha, then feed a one baby Rex you breed.
To tame a Carcharodontosaurus you will need 1-5 baby rexes cryod in cryopods. When you will Finder a Carcha, you have to kill 1 rex, and grab him to the Carcha. Carcharo will eat the body, and will gain friend tracking. When the tracking is green, ride it and kill everything in sight
You may ask, how many baby rexs will i need for the entire taming process? Well, its 1 for 100% trust, but your most likely not to complete the entire taming process in one go, so here’s a list: (i still recommend extra rexs incase there is a lack of creatures in your area)
Lvl 1-40: 1 or 2
Lvl 40-80: 2-3
Lvl 80-150: 2-5
It really depends on how many and what creatures are around, but its never guaranteed for a one and done, so good luck and happy taming.
Craft a mindwipe potion if your high level put lot in health get 634 weight then you can drag a rex,paraceratherium,rhynio,spino but still can't drag a yuty
I really like these guys there one of my favs. The best way to tame these guys is by putting down 3 metal Dino gateways in a way to look like a box missing a wall. Then lead him in the trap by having him chasing you then when he is in place another metal Dino gateway then bring dead Dino’s to have him feed. Then a trust bar will appear and when it’s full he is tamed and they don’t need a saddle to ride but you can give it one. Hope this was helpful plz up this to spread the word!
Taming these is easier than it seems, you don't even need a trap, depending on the settings you might only need one baby rex.
Cryo the baby rex, find the carcha and kill the rex and drag it to the carcha and the trust meter should be full.
Baby rexes and full grown ones full the bar completely
I’ve experimented with taming these multiple times. It’s pretty easy once you have the hang of it. What I do is build four behemoth gateways and attach the gates to them (people say dinosaur gates work too, but I haven’t tested them yet so I don’t know). Make sure they are made of metal so that the carcha doesn’t damage them. Have a space where you can escape and also so you can enter and exit (this is relevant later). Open the gate that you want the carcha to enter, and at the end of the trap, put large bear traps down. Then, shoot at it or whatever to lure the carcha into your trap and make your escape through the small space. When it’s in the bear trap, SHUT THAT DAMN DOOR AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Make sure there are NO gates open. Now that the hard part is done, get an army or a flier that carries stuff and scatter a bunch of animals around. Get as many as possible. This is relevant later. Then, kill a ton of animals and drag the corpses into the trap where the carcha is. Get out of render distance so it’ll eat the corpses, and after eating, the carcha will be a little ornery. This is normal. Keep feeding it corpses until the trust meter turns green. With the animals you scattered, kill them while riding the carcha until it is tamed. If you have to search for more animals to kill, do so.
If you tamed the carcha, congratulations!! You’ve done it!
If the time that the dinosaur is chill is running out and it’s not close to being tamed, ride the carcha back into your trap and close the doors. Repeat the process.
This is how I did it throughout all my experiments and taming my pets. They’re cool asf and worth the stress and heart attacks.
