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.

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.

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.

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.

U can get one early game doesn't matter your lvl as long as you got a sling shot.

So first craft 2 sling shots yes two.

Put them in your hotbar and farm rocks along beaches or hit large rocks with a hatchet, next find it carno don't attack yet find high ground high enough to where it can't climb keep smacking it with ur sling shot and slowly but surely it will go down it'll take about two minutes then feed it some prime meat or raw meat it honestly doesn't matter and feed it some narcotics or bio toxins or in my case I gave it soothing balm and yeh that's it there are great creatures nice base stats great speed good health destroying melee attack can't wait till I get a saddle for it
