ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
While it can be overshadowed by more useful alternatives (argentavis) or stronger predators (Rex, Spino, etc), it is a very accessible tame early on if you need something to protect yourself and run around with (looking at you Aberration). Even with a bow, you donβt really need that many tranq arrows and it can, at high levels, shred everything you encounter, except maybe other tamed dinos or gigas (Would not recommend for bosses either), which helped me commit genocidal war crimes at the spino river in Aberration to level up fast.

These guys are not good swimmers lol. My first carno named Ravager (yeah, like the Aberration dog) drowned when I lead my creatures up a cliff in Ragnarok. He couldnβt find the way up, so he ran into a small lake, ran out of stamina, and drowned. RIP Ravager, too stupid to survive.
My one went through the ground
Be careful raptors can pounce you off of them
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.
If your bad like me just full box him and injoy your new Caron
Itβs gonna get a TLC! Itβs gonna be a little better and can break through armor a little easier. Itβs gonna do a bleed attack, like the deinonychus and ravager.
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.
I have a level 92 carno and it is my GO TO mount when I need to go on a hide run. The funny thing is it is not even a level 100 and yet it wrecks brontos and pretty much everything else in the general area. Try to get a carno as soon as you can because if you put in the time to level them up they are a force to be reckoned with.
People who say this is useless on mobile, STOP!
My carno Isabel ran me through hunter cave without any problem, and defended me against a spino. Also, she has great stam like over 1500.
She does 124 damage now, and is my fourth tame, behind my pt black pearl, which I sadly lost to a giga just yesterday.
Conclusion: find high level, tame high level.
I got a carno with 1500% on melee
Best carno ever
