Tips & Strategies

What are tips for carnotaurus? Tips and strategies for carnotaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
for context: i only have 30 hours playtime. Most of which are wasted away on deleyed files bc spinos spawn and i don’t wanna mess w them. Barely watch gameplays because i’m stubborn and wanna figure this out game as most as i can on my own. that being said…
here i am, on the beach. level 20, trying to time a level high trike so feel somewhat safe. i had died several times because tranq arrows were failing me. so i decided, why not climb up this suspicious path to this cliff, and get convenient high ground? well… i get to the high ground. look down. carno. i had seen it earlier, but it was up on the cliff far away and decided to tuck the worry away. there shouldn’t have been anything to attract it, right? wrong. there it was. on the beach. by the trike. killing a parasour. i decided to hit it with tranq arrows. read somewhere about 8 should knock it out….. nope. got ultimately destroyed. Gonna go soon and try to either
A) Lure it back up the cliff and away from my temp start up base
B)…Take my chances, spam tranq arrows, and push stacks of raw meat…. Stupid? Maybe. Impossible? Probably. Very Probably. Certainly. But if it works? Genius.
Very easy tame
1: do lava cave with tiny save
2: tribute and get good crossbow dam=400
3: search good one make trap and trap carno
4: fire tranquilizer arrow and kock carno
5:feed him sooting balm and put meat or prime meat
6:carno tame and give him saddle and ride
Thanks for reading u like so up
If you encounter a Carno, you can go into some sorts of deep water like a deep river or ocean because they are not good swimmers. If you are prepared to tame one I would recommend kibble and Trang darts out of a longneck rifle. They are fast so a trap such as on with doorways and a ramp. Another idea is sacrificing dinosaurs like Parasaurs and small dinosaurs then shoot it while it is distracted with the other dinosaurs.
Large bear trap it knock it tame it and then boom just note there run is annoying
Get to a high spot and shoot at the carno and when it run go after it
WILD Carnos are just 0.5 units faster than a player with no points in speed, 892 vs. 892.5
If you have one point in movement speed, you should just be able to outrun wild Carnos, but don't count on it.
In reference to carno kibble: you can use cooked fish meat in place of normal cooked meat. Fun fact!
I just found level 27 alpha Carno it’s a good level I’m on easy easy and then searched up why my tranqs don’t work then realised you can’t tame alphas 😭😭😭😭 wasted a ton of tranqs
The first thing I tame once I get tranq arrows and a bow.
Just build a trap out of stone (or wood if You don’t have stone yet)
shoot it with in the head with tranqs, feed it raw mutton and narcotics, You have a Carno now!
They’re great with Raptors or even Dilos if you don’t have the saddle unlocked yet. They can even take out Rexes or low level Basilisks if there’s multiple.
Besides, they can go inside your base for defending it since they’re not too big.
Just get the high ground a rock should work
if you see a alpha (with particles and fire on it) RUN even if you have a pack of raptors you will lose
There’s an old ALfu one near me please help
Carnos are super damn loud and they sound like stomping and a Motor machine
Coming back from 200m from my base in the foot paw, I saw one attack a wild parasaur, then come after me. I’m a noob so I died.The moral is to never try to tame dilos 😭
8 tranq arrows from a crossbow knocked out my carno she was lvl 33 used 7 narcotics and 30 +/- raw meat (not prime) took about 15 mins give or take she was extremely close to waking up but i was going to get crystals not a carno so i wasn't prepared 😅
For killing the alpha:There is a height in which you can hit it with your flight without being noticed even.My Lv80 Argent with 1500 stamina can easily kill one with several turns of rest and attack.Also valid on alpha raptors.INVALID on alpha rexes.They are so fast and their attack radius is huuuuuuuuuge so their is almost no way you hit it without being re-attacked.
wait to get a pteranadon to attack it. these dinos are really easy to kill. just make sure to keep an eye on stamina and for any surrounding carnivores.
