Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carcharodontosaurus.
Best way to tame is bear trap and baby rex once u get trapped throw baby rex and kill it and feed it then use rare flowers to attract everything in the area
If I see one more person call this a giga I'm going to scream! Wildcard doesn't have to make anything for us because ark is already a great game but here they are giving is this beauty and ark 2 so i don't care you wanted a bison just deal with it you haven't even seen ot in game so yoi have 0 reasons to be complaning!!!

Guide: Find High Level Carcha (150 or higher) (Any level if you want) Get your Rexes and Breed them (If you don't have rexes tame a Male and female to breed) Breed them and get any gender Baby Rex and Cryopod it (If you want to) Find the Carcha again and Trap it in metal gates Feed it the Baby Rex when it does a sniffing animation, It will have a green circle bar above it's head and you can ride it (DISCLAIMER: Get rid of the metal gates first then ride it) Ride it and then kill many, MANY Dinosaurs until it is tamed (ANOTHER DISCLAIMER: There is a taming bar below when you ride it) and that is the Guide to The Carcha Taming! Thank you and Good Day to you!
To tame just kill a bunch of Dino’s. Drag em Ina pile. Get it Ina trap. Once it sniffs the floor drag a Dino and let it eat. Do it till the bar is done. Then mount it and kill everything in ur sight and bam.
Not going to lie, my Carcher was the one of the easiest things I’ve ever tamed, lol.
Don’t cryo sick them… sleep for hours
I have done this before so this is how to tame.
1. Prepare
Large bear trap
Four metal dino gateways
3 cryopoded baby rexes
4 cyropoded dinos with HIGH health
a flier
2. Locate
Look around mountains only one can spawn at a time so look hard!
3. Set up
Set three dino gateways making a box with one open side put bear trap in middle
4. Lead the carchar into the trap and then place the final gateway
5. Get a baby Rex cryo sick, unclaim it, and feed it to the carchar DO NOT TRANQ THE CARCHAR
6. Get one of your high health dinos cryo sick, unclaim it and mount the carchar and eat it
7. Ride the carchar into the trap and repeat
8. If you run out of big dinos to feed run around the wild and kill wild dinos
9 Enjoy your carchar!
Thx for reading, this took a while to make, so if it was helpful you know what to do!
People who says this is really just a giga remake your wrong it has a completely different ability’s and probably size and it got 2nd in two creature votes If I new how to vo.te this is what I probably would of voted for and Wilde card is doing it for us so respect this update also I heard the tameing Method includes a shotgun I think and a shield I think you have to make it lose its teeth some how Plus I have a feeling it will be like the ark additions acro hope this helps people to respect this creature more.
For the first taming stage, it is based on drag weight. A baby Rex is good for getting 100% trust. Keep more than one dead baby Rex on hand. If it’s trapped, sometimes it will bug out and it won’t get the friend bar after eating it. Either try again if you have enough baby Rexes to spare, or leave render, come back, and try again.
The second taming stage is based off max health of the Dino you kill. It doesn’t matter how much health that Dino has lost, just what the max health is. Baby brontos work very well for this because they have a high max health at high levels, have low health when hatched, and don’t fight back.
The first thing is to find your carchar. I play on 5x taming at level 9 (max Dino level being 270), that roughly equates to 3x taming at level 5. Do be aware that anything less than 5x taming speed will kick you off when you reach a certain percent of taming. At 1x it’s 20%, 2x 40%, 3x 60%, and 4x 80%. This scales with taming level, not difficulty level. If you’re playing on anything less than 5x, have someone else there with you because you will need to bring it back to the trap and re-trap it before being kicked off at whatever percent and whatever taming. To put it like this: if you are on 1x settings, bring it back to the trap before reaching 20% and continue to chomp on things while in the trap until you are kicked off. You’ll need to feed it another Rex to make it friendly again. If you get kicked off due to running out of time, you will lose a large chunk of taming effectiveness. If you get kicked off because of blood rage or percentage, you will lose very little taming effectiveness. If you fat finger and dismount you’ll lose a good chunk of taming effectiveness.
Once you have your carchar and you know your settings, breed together Rexes for babies, and ideally some at or near max level brontos. Next, using either a dimetredon, otter, ac units, or the egg incubator, incubate the eggs until they have about a minute left on the timer. Pick them up/remove them. If you don’t remove it from the egg incubator in time just pick up the structure and they will drop in a bag. Put all your Rex eggs and bronto eggs on a flying Dino with a high weight stat (argys and dreadmares are good for this, if you want you can put it on a different Dino and black hole that Dino if you have a dreadmare and don’t want to worry about weight)
At your trapped carchar, build some two by two foundation squares with decent spacing. Place railing on three sides. I usually build anywhere from 5-10 of these, depending on the level of the carchar. Using an ac unit (you’ll need a generator with gasoline to run it), otter, or dimetredon, throw out 5-6 bronto eggs into each pen and hatch them all the way. Do this before you do your Rex eggs. When all your baby brontos are out, hatch your Rexes and claim the one you are going to shoot. It stops the rest of the babies from fleeing. Bring your bay over to the carchar and feed it. Pick up one of the gate traps and immediately hop on, don’t let it attack any of the babies yet. If it does, it will raise the blood rage but not the taming meter. You’ll have to wait for it to go back down. Go to the first pen and eat the baby brontos there. Keep an eye on your rage and taming meter, and how much the babies in that pen raised it. That will give you a rough estimate on how many you can eat before you have to wait for it to go down again, like if six babies brought your taming to 15% and your rage to 26, you can chomp on 12 more babies before having to wait to chomp again and bring your taming to 30% (if you’re on 1x rates you need to go back to the trap). If you’re on anything below 5x, bring the carchar back to the trap and have someone bring things to you to chomp on. Ideally you want to be kicked off due to percent or blood rage. Wear good armor for the tame so that if it decides to nibble at you, you don’t get one tapped.
Baby Diplos give 100% trust so tame and cryo one
The 6 triangle foundation with double door frames and triangle roof trap doesn't work.
stop saying he is a copy of the giga, he will have different abilities just look at the carcharodontosaurus dossier
I'm not gonna lie to you so please take this into mind.I think these bad boys are better than gigas.HEAR ME OUT.Gigas take loads of tranqs to knock ot and they wake up REALLY quickly.Where as charchars you don't even have to knock out.Plus charchars have a frenzy buff that allows them to do more damage and have increased speed. I like the giga but I think Charchars are just better.
NOTE: IF YOU CRYO A CHAR DON’T THROW IT OUT UNTIL YOU DROP ALL YOUR ITEM OR STORE THEM AWAY. THE ITEM WILL GET DELETED OR YOUR FILES GET CORRUPTED IF YOU THROW THE CHAR OUT. THIS MIGHT ONLY APPLIES TO ARK MOBILE.
If your wondering how to spawn in the CarCharo with command it is (gmsummon “Carcha_Character_BP_C” 150) *what ever lv you want”
^ for noobs to see
Just kill everything you see that’s not a them spikey small Dino’s that you attack does dance back
You do not need to trap, just drag dead baby rex and you'll be fine. Bring Tek suit just in case
Does not need to be trapped to be tamed! Baby Rexes are amazing for trust.
Everyone says use baby Rex which is true but if you are playing asa then don’t bother breeding Rex’s like they say simply find a wild one with a baby kill it imprint to lead it closer to char ha then kill it and feed this also works with diplo if your on 2x server rates
I don't know why (and it's also like this for giga for me), when i tame them they always have 50% melee not 100%.
Use the votes to indicate if this happens to you as well. (This is ark survival evolved on custom settings)
