Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a carcharodontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a carcharodontosaurus.
This will probably be a new go to creature
Feed it gallys that’s all I can say
THEY ARE VERY POWERFULL
Cage them and then ride them after you kill stuff and have it eat that
If you trap one feed it 1 baby yuty because they give full friendship then ride it and things that attack back will ruin taming effectiveness and baby wyverns are best for taming it up. I hope you enjoy your new friend
The trust part of taming goes by drag weight. A rex will give it 100% trust, Yuty is 75%, Stego and Trike are 50%. On the killing part of the taming it goes by XP. So higher level and bigger dinos tame faster. Just avoid taking too much damage and roar at 99 kills or it will kick you off and have to do friendship again. Good luck and hope this helps.
Can take it in boss fights ?
With high level army
From experience: If you don't fill the trust bar in one feed the Carchar WILL aggro on you. Have a flier ready! These don't do well trapped. Once it sniffs the body/notices your offer, drop the body and book it back to your flier.
Here's a little tip, whatever you do DON'T try to tame a carcha on fjordur if you don't want your roitine for the next irl week to be boot up ark and fly around 3 spots with no effect. Try. On ragnarok or the island instead
Beware when taming a high level you will probably need to gain their trust multiple times it took me 3 tries
Alright so what I used for my 145 charcar was 2 trikes and the trust was full. P. S. Trikes give a little over half trust
If you've got one trapped, and it sniffs but doesn't eat, for whatever reason it doesn't like being trapped??? (Imagine that). You can try leaving the area, and letting it re-render but it may not work. My tribe and I ended up having to let it out of the trap, leaving to let everything re-render, and dragging corpses over to it (while it was running around free - so yes, mildly terrifying), then proceeding with the tame.
Pro-tip for feeding: one of the tribe guys is obsessed with breeding and mutations so we had some very OP rexes. We just cryoed abunch of babies, let it out (with cryosickness is easier), unclaimed and killed it, and it literally only took 1 baby rex to let us start riding. Then repeat to let the Carch eat the corpses while you ride, and viola. Your very own spikey giga.
Depending on the server, you can also use baby rexes or spinos to tame one (bringing up it's trust) that can make it go full or most of the way (again depending on the rates) so it'll be much faster then. Just make sure ya trap it 1st
Hope this helps!!!
My taming Method:
1. Trap him
2. Kill any Dino and carry it to him
3. Kill BABY Dinos
4. Kill more (Baby) Dinos
5. Finish
Wear Flak,use shadowmanes for friendly meter and there ya go .
THIS THING IS NOT A KNOCKOUT TAME! Its a passive tame, all you gotta do is use a giga trap using metal gates (don't use stone or weaker) to surround it, once you trap it kill any creature that you can drag and bring over to the carchar, once you get closer it'll turn towards you and sniff the corspe you brought, when it sniff just drop the corpse and it'll eat it and a taming bar will appear above it, just keep bringing it corpses until that bar is filled, once its filled you'll be able to ride it without a saddle, you'll have 10 minutes to kill as much creatures as possible to increase its taming, once the second taming bar gets filled it'll be tamed and you'll get dismounted so be careful.
NOTE: Wild Carchar has around 70K health very similar to the giga.
As of right now it's out. The way to tame it is by trapping it with metal gates and feeding it dino corpses (the bigger the better). Once you do that a hexagon thing will appear. keep feeding it until hexagon turns green then ride it and kill everything you see. Bam! You got a new dino buddy!
Same spawns as a Giga, bring it a dead dino to eat, like mammoths. Mount and kill other creatures. Once done it will be tame. Lvl 96 for saddle. Very similar to a Giga in stats.
Info from Raasclark
Just give a baby Rex (don’t do if u only have 1 breeding pair) and feed to carchar, than run away and trust should be full, come back and kill everything you see.
I think u can kill ur own games to get the meter up but I’m not gonna be the one to try 👍👍
Their eggs make yellow Excptional kibble.
so a lot of people seem to not know how to properly tame a carch. you have 2 options; feed it a baby rex (which gives it full trust) or, have fun by killing tons of dinos. I prefer the second method, after that you ride it and kill a ton of creatures, and no, it's not smart to use tamed creatures, as it's faster to kill a ton of small creatures. in extinction it's extremly easy to get 100% effectiveness when taming. by the way, if it has 40% melee starting out, and if you have a giga that has 30% melee, it's mainly because if you tame anything lower than level 30 or so it doesn't have any points in melee.
