What are tips for carnotaurus? Tips and strategies for carnotaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Probably your first canivore and it will make you feel like your the best of the best, or is that just me!?!?!
Me: let’s go get some fish!
Me: sees spino.
Me: oh no! Goes the other way.
Caro: zooms in from nowhere.
Me: runs.
Carno: is speed.
Diplodocus: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA CARNO FIGHT ME INSTEAD
me: thank you massive dino.
Get it stuck in trees. That’s how I tamed my first Carnotaurus!
Drop a large bear trap, stand behind it, aggro the carno with a ranged weapon, draw into trap and just backup and down it.
HOW TO TAME A CARNO
PREPARATION
At least 20 or so tranq arrows, (get as many as you need, check Dododex’s KO section), use a crossbow if you can to speed up the process. Get regular kibble, and if you don’t have one, then get a lot of meats, preferably prime meat. You do not need a trap for the carnotaurus; level up your speed and stamina a bunch of times and you can outrun the Carno. If you think this is dangerous, use a quetzal with platform saddle, or use a natural terrain like a small cliff.
KNOCK OUT
Here comes the intense part, knockout. Even if it may seem intimidating, knocking the Carno out is fairly simple. All you have to do is to find a spot, go on a quetzal with platform saddle, or run while shooting tranq arrows at the Carno. When the Carno is running away, chase after it, if you are on foot, this is where your speed comes in to play. Keep a safe distance away from the carnotaurus though because sometimes they fight back and fake you out. Shoot another few times until it’s knocked out.
FEEDING
Once it’s knocked out, you can feed it the kibble or the meats you have. You can stay next to it while it’s asleep or take the safer option, go away from it since they usually stay in dangerous areas. Once you are far away from the Carno, the server will stop making creatures attack each other. Use Dododex’s taming timer and wait until it’s done. Go back to it and voila! You have successfully tamed a Carno. (Unless you are like me and a Spino suddenly spawned and killed my Carno the first time)
WARNINGS
Do not use bolas on him, it does not work. Get him to a safe area before attempting to tame him because he is not the strongest nor smartest creature in ARK. Only use bows, crossbows, and other high torpor low damage weapons like longneck with tranq darts. Don’t think taming a Carno makes you the boss of ARK, raptors can still jump you from the shadow realm and pounce you off.
FEATURES
The Carno is a great harvester of meats and is a good early ~ mid-game tame to have. It is a great fighter, protecting you in many scenarios. If you live in the southern part of the island, you will be completely safe (mostly).
And that’s it for how to tame a Carno, hope this helps and wish y’all a great day.

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
The secondary bleed attack was a massive upgrade to this otherwise overlooked dinosaur. The bleed can deal up to 5% of a target's health over 10 seconds (regardless of your mount’s melee stat), applying to wild creatures and Alphas alike. On creatures with big health stats, no matter how big, you’re still guaranteed a kill in less than 200 seconds.
It has become my favorite Alpha and Giga killer (over the Thylacoleo and Deinonychus) due to its early game accessibility and criminal knockback. Of the three tames, the Carno has the best knockback while attacking, making a significant difference in the damage taken during battle between the three. I’ve eliminated Alpha Rexes by being slightly uphill and spamming the bleed attack without getting hit a single time.
Though perhaps not the most flashy tame, the Carnotaurus definitely a nostalgic weapon honed for a mighty purpose, the clawhammer in every toolbelt. I still scope out every pod of three that I find, hoping for 150s.
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.
Get a jerboa and name it carno bait, if one aggros on you, toss it and boogie
While setting up a base, a lv 40 alpha carno came out of nowhere to fight. I watched the fight with little emotion as this game has numbed me down so much. Luckily, I only lost two pterodons. Sadly, one of them was a lv 170
I actually knocked one out with a slingshot
Hello it’s kai the Dino guy . Thx for 23 on the Karpov tip ok here’s how to tame a carno 🔥🦕🦖
1.locate the carno you’ve Ben watching make sure he’s a loner by him self
2 you could craft a large bear trap it’s very pricey . Ok here’s the method to knock it out . Use a bear trap and club him or tranq him. Or you could stay on a rock and tranq him. I like using the belezbufo method just hit him until he knocks out .
3. Carnos can take a while to tame . They’d prefer prime meat but it would not hurt to have raw mutton
4 .keep its torpor good if you remember my last tip I use bio toxin but you could use narcotic here’s the list of most effective 1 is worst 3 is best
1narcoberries 2 narcotic 3 bio toxin
Well I hope this helped this one I had to rush
I’ll do how to tame a trike if dis hits 30
ON MOBILE-
DEFINITELY a creature you need for early to mid game. I have a level 173 female that was tamed at level 100, it gained 40 levels so the 33 levels were me leveling it. I put a decent amount of attack and got her to 4000 hp. She makes quick work of EVERYTHING, I've taken on 4 different alpha raptors (not at the same time), she makes quick work of rexes, brontos, and like I said, alpha raptors. There is an alpha rex kinda sorta near my base in the forgotten lakes, imma try and kill it tmm😜and also, be careful around the forgotten lakes, raptors, therizinosaurs, and alpha raptors will spawn near by. you all think the creator of this app should add a section for good base spots and stuff of that sort.

run into shallow water that you can walk in and go prone and the carno will lose agro this works for terror birds to.
