Tips & Strategies

What are tips for carnotaurus? Tips and strategies for carnotaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Rule of thumb. If these guys attack your tame while you are riding on it, that means that it is not an apex predator. Apex predators include the rex, spino, giga, carcharo, rhynio, and I guess megatheriums too, so only wild versions of these dinos will be aggressive to the tamed versions.
how to tame annoying ahh carnos that kill most dino’s and you:
1. get bow (level 10) and tranq arrows (level 21)
2. make a trap for it (u can easily find on yt)
3. find carno and shoot tranq arrows while u run to ur trap and trap it
4. shoot tranq arrows until it is unconscious.
5. feed it meat (raw meat, raw mutton, prime meat,etc)
6. boom, u got a carno.
tranq arrows are unlocked at level 21 but need narcotics (level 6) which are craftable at a Mortar and Pestle with Nacroberries (black ones) and Spoiled meat (keep any meat in ur inventory for along time to make it spoil).
Very easy taming:
Step 1 look for scorpions
Step 2 tame
Step 3 mount it
Step 4 look for carno, rex, etc.
Step 5 just attack they dont agro insects (evil laugh)
Step 6 watch as they fall unconcious
Step 7 shove prime meat down their throat
Step 8 wait or roam around the map
Step 9 tap yourself for a job well done in taming
Step 10 become the boss of the whole island (evil laugh)
I'm playing mobile. My base is on the western peninsula by the red obelisk. There's a level 240 alpha carno chilling across the water from me. She has 46k health. God please save me.
If you get one aggro on you, just find the nearest dino and book it. They are kinda tarded and lose interest when other dinos are nearby.
DO NOT USE NORMAL BOLA, almost died due to a untrue tip
Alright guys! Lord Fred saw that message you gave him. It’s time to tame a Carnotaurus!
Step 1: go locate a single one. It’s important because other ones will follow. DO NOT GO FOR A YUTY CARNO GROUP U WILL VANISH!
Step 2: this is a u can but u don’t have to. Build a trap with stone. It’s easy and leases the pain on u.
Step 3: tranquilize it. It is only tranq method.
And feed him and 123….. poof 💥 u tamed him!
If this gets pass 50, I’ll make one on a Rex. Signed, Lord Fred
I highly recommend getting up high on a boulder or getting the carno stuck somewhere while knocking it out. Unless you are a high level, you will not be able to outrun it.
First giant carnivore I tamed, named it Jade.
I remembered that second, everything frozen, the alpha Rex’s bite, my bronto’s attack that finished the alpha Rex off… seeing all my tames lying on the thing that was my once indestructible base… Jade was at my side.
Starting over, traveling to the hidden lakes, almost killed by raptors… Jade’s final stand at the footpaw peninsula where I tamed her, me helplessly watching Jade and the spino both crash to the ground…
R.I.P Jade
Tamed carnos are excellent almost all around: their health, attack speed, and base damage allow you to take on most of the creatures on the island, including Rexes and Alpha Raptors. Having a mated pair greatly strengthens this quality. They run fairly fast and can carry a lot, making great transport mounts. They are a fairly good harvester of meat and prime meat.
Their only real disadvantage is a slow stamina regen, even when stood completely still.
I use y trap on the carno and it work
*ITS OVER ANAKIN I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND*
Taking a Carnotaurus is actually pretty easy if you have the right items! (For Mobile edition!)
1. Get lots of meat or prime meat (prime meat is faster)
2. Get a Tranq Bow and Narcotics
3. Trap the Carnotaurus in a large bear trap (craft 2 just in case it escapes the trap)
4. Feed the carno the meat and feed it the narcotics when the unconscious bar gets low
5. And done! You have yourself a Carno!
Fun fact: on old ark mobile rexes were able to damage carnos and sometimes attacked them as prey, but now on ultimate mobile edition theyre best friends
Whoever said “tame a jerboa and use it as carno bait,” you are a monster.
So back when i was a new ark player i tamed 8 raptors just for defense, later on i spotted an alpha carno walking down the beach towards my base, and not wanting my newly tamed sarco, and trike to die, I did something any normal person with 8 raptors would do. Me and the pack and charged into battle, lets just say i lost all but one, Silver. Shes still alive today and happy, And we did kill the alpha carno.
It is sad to see the Carno for not getting too much love these days. Whenever I try to find mutated Carno videos, it only shows a few of them before showing off Rex, Thyla, basically everything else except the Carno, and I'm disappointed. Carnos are basically a nerfed apex predator. They have the power and health you would expect while being speedy as well. They are not too difficult to tame, just a simple knock out tame. Even though a TLC could spice things up a bit, I love it for what it is.
A really funny thing you can do with alpha carnos is to get a rhynio, lure an alpha carno to the beach, and get it to swim after you in the ocean. If it loses interest and becomes passive, then get close to it and dismount on your rhynio and it should start swimming after you again. Then when it gets too close you can fly some distance away, dismount, and it will start chasing you again. Do this a few dozen times and you can trick the alpha carno into swimming to herbivore island or any other crazy location since alphas can't drown.
You can also leave the alpha carno at sea then fly away from it until it disappears in your render distance and forget about it since it will never despawn, drown, or even move so you can go to it later to kill it.
This process takes 33% longer than with an alpha rex or raptor, since alpha carnos swim 33% slower than alpha rexes or raptors.
