Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carcharodontosaurus.
The only thing you need to do is SHOOT AN ALPHA IN THE FACE WHEN IT IS LOW drag its sorry butt over let it take a big wiff and then ride around killin any thing
Or if friendly fire is on have your tribe mates mind wipe tonic and level only in health and have a nice snack
CARCHADONTOSAURUS are awesome 😎
If you have a baby rex that you don’t want trap the carch an feed it the Rex. Ps it HAS to be a baby
A thing I noticed is that they only appear near or on an a mountain so yah
So it says that you need to trap it first. Then start building up its trust. A friend and I was able to just drag dead creatures to it and when it starts to sniff the air, RUN! LOL. Rinse and repeat. Then once it's trust is up, tame as normal.
Here is your one stop tip on taming the Carcharodontosaurus, the killing machine that is better than the giga for several reasons, but anyways here is how to tame with 100% effectiveness;
Firstly; decide how you will go about taming it from one of two approaches. You can either go for it without bringing and building a trap and just drag bodies you find from wild Dino’s. This could actually work but is more risky and will certainly take longer, but it can work and won’t negatively affect taming effectiveness.
Secondly; Lure it into your trap if you made one (trap is usually just like the giga trap with 4 dino gates and a large bear trap in the middle, when it gets caught you place last dino gate behind it.)
IF you have baby Rexes to kill, you should use them to gain the Carchars trust as they will shoot the bar up to 100% with one Rex!
Now go on a killing spree of course to get its taming up. However there are some things you should be aware of;
1. DO NOT TAKE FALL DAMAGE, taking fall damage while riding it will ANNIHILATE the taming effectiveness, so be careful especially on the island where they only spawn around the mountains.
2. If PvP is turned on, you could kill your own tames to guarantee a quick perfect tame, just be careful not to allow his kill streak to reach over 100 because you will get kicked off.
Good luck and happy kill streaks!

One rex is good enough to fill it's friendliness bar up all the way. Tested with a lvl 140 on x1. You need roughly 1k weight to drag one though.
just go on yt and search nooblets carcha tame the youtuber is called nooblets oder nooblet and then watch the ark 1 video its very helpfull
The person said Dec 28 we don't know if that's true or not and the taming because if I remember correctly the troodon is to intelligent to fall for knock out and feed
We don't know if carcha will have that level of intelligent
Please don’t eat me I don’t taste like steak 🥩.
Got one to half trust but then aggroed on me and lost my argy and my brother and nearly my own life
I just figured out tropical wyvern eggs give you a 75% respect bar for these big guys, And taking them into caves with massive Dino spawns is very effective! GLHF!
Baby spinos fill bar fully also, just go in a lake and kill all of the fish… and boom you have tamed a child eater.
From what i’ve seen so far is you have a baby diplo it’s an instant trust aswell as a baby rex
Baby brontos also fill up the bar on ASA
I fed it once, and it stopped eating. I tried again, same thing happened. Now im trying to feed it baby rexes bit it wont eat anymore.
Taming them is entirely based off the drag weight of the things it eats. Use a baby rex or spino (baby gigas dont work because you cant drag the body around) and it only takes one to completely fill the bar and then you can hop on to start eating things and this applies to every taming multiplier and also work on 1x for any level on official servers. Larger dinos or dinos with a higher drag weight will give a larger percentage towards tame but keep in mind certain things you eat count as more than 1 thing eaten towards the counter on the lower left. Once you hit 100 it will kick you off its back so try and pick a place that's easy to feed it another thing when it does this. If you do not fill the counter or you hop off it you lose 15%-20% effectiveness on the tame and the levels tank. You can also use an elixir but you have to be standing as close to its foot as you can get and you cant use it in your hot bar while riding it you have to be standing on the ground. Obviously, every time it gets hit it loses .01% and this also applies to when you are not riding it so if it boots you somewhere it's going to fight things the effectiveness will continue to drop.
This is literally one of the easiest things to tame, the animation for it eating a body is long enough to not need a trap as you can just shotgun another thing and take its body to get it into a new animation
after a few feeds you can ride it and start meatrunning all the wild dinos and after the 100th kill it will roar and knock you off making you kill a few dinos and feed it again
you can roar while riding it but the kill counter doesn't reset when wild and of you don't play on a boosted server or kill large dinos such as broncos only you will get kicked off
stat mechanics seem really similar to gigas including hp amount and the fact the melee goes up by 5 per point which would be 10 per mutation
The stam is better than gigas but still Regensburg slow however the amount gained per level is larger than a giga making it possibly worth 1 or 2 points in Stam on boosted servers but on low boosted its still probably better to do all melee (depends on what you want and how it scales with mutations and stuff I've only messed around with it for about 20 minutes)
Trap the dino the same as you would a giga. Kill and drag it sheep. As soon as it sniffs at you, drop the sheep and run away. Repeat till his trust bar filles up (blue icon above head). Then hop on and ride around killing things till he is your friend.
Drag dead baby rexes to it,then go to a swamp/river and kill all the fish fir easy taming, dont attack large creatures, jst multiple small ones
Trex baby is best for taming
Also the carch is just a better giga
