Tips & Strategies

What are tips for carnotaurus? Tips and strategies for carnotaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It is actually easy to kill just tame some dilos and wait for it to attack a big turtle then shoot it with a bow (keep the dilos on passive while shooting)
Fly up to a cliff or ledge that it can’t reach and use tranq darts. Tranq arrows will work too it will just take longer
Carnos are excellent mounts and hunting and battle companions. At mid-level, my pack of five have speed slightly superior to a raptor and strength comparable to a low level Rex. Focus on building melee, speed and stamina. Combine them with a couple raptors, a Rex and a Trike and there will be very little you can't overcome.
If u see one RUN for Ur life. If I try to tame one please don't u WILL die.
How to tame carno
1 prepare
Bow
Tranq arrows (i would recommend bringing at least 20)
a trap (trap not needed if speed 200+)
2 locate
Carnos are easy to find i would recommend looking on beaches cuz on beaches there aren't many other threats
3 Tame
Shoot tranqs and lead into trap (or just run away from it) and keep shooting until unconscious
4 enjoy your carno
Thx for reading! If you liked it you know what to do!
Also with the carno situation there are 3 long neck things near my base should I run back?
I fought a high level alpha carno my argen couldn't kill it so I got my lv. 151 thylaceo(thyla) to help me and she easily killed the alpha
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
