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.

I encountered a Alpha and the last thing I knew I was a bag.

Aladar ain't gonna help you this time buddy. Be safe, bring a friend-as a distraction, of course.

After the TLC, Carnotaurus has become not only a more powerful mount but also a very dangerous encounter especially with their Yutyrannus leaders. The secondary attack causes a nasty bleed effect that drains the targets' health significantly. This paired with the significant knockback can easily kill many creatures with high health pools such as brontos and stegos. A fully imprinted, mate-boosted and mutated pack of carnos are a force to be reckoned with and can even take out Alpha Rexes.

I got a carno with 1500% on melee

Best carno ever

Steps to tame:

1.get somewhere high

2.start attacking it with bow/crossbow tranq arrow/arrow

3.when it runs away follow it but lead away from any deep mass of water

4.shoot it while your running

5.when it’s knocked out feed it normal meat/prime.narcotics shouldn’t be necessary.

You now have a carno!

I was scared to shoot these things with tranq arrows and tame it but I shot it and knocked it out

It died due to drowning, lesson learned never knock a carno in the middle of a lake

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 shadows 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.

I had one named stubs she was great until a therizino threw her off the red obelisk platform then megs finished her off R.I.P ;(

If you have a flyer get on a rock the carno can't reach or on multiplayer get a friend and a flyer and grab your friend and let him/she shoot the carno with anything that has torpor

I swear when I just spawn in the game IT LITERALLY spawn next me I ran and it’s so fast I couldn’t even out ran it it was very scary

A low level carno is actually easy to knock out I shot a lvl 10 3 times with my crossbow and boom, it was out I knocked out a lvl 90 with a crossbow and a longneck rifle. PROTECT THE NOOBS!

My level 223 carno regularly kills level 150 Spinos, therizinosaurus, and rexes. Sometimes multiple at the same time. Tame a high level and get your melee around 500%+ and you have an alpha killer.

Rookie taming method (worked first time):

1. Craft a larg bear trap (and about 15 tranq arrows)

2. Find a carno out In the open and easy to see/fire at

3.get carno to aggro on you (somehow) and walk into the trap

4. Tranq it quickly before it breaks out

5. Tame!!!

Word to the wise. When raising a baby Carno, remember they require more meat than baby Raptors. I lost a level 150 Carno while I was sleep lol

Because I’m an idiot, I forced my tribemate to help me kill an Alpha Rex I found. Well, that wasn’t a great idea. We landed on a cliff overlooking the Alpha and its turmoil, and began shooting with our crossbows. I HEAR STOMPING, OKAY, AND I TURN TO RUN TO MY PTERANODON BECAUSE I RECOGNIZE THE FOOT PATTERN—A Carnotaurus knocks us both off of the cliff and down where the Alpha is and I think you know what happened next..

I have a lot to say about these Dino’s bc they’re so great, I tried shortening it but this is helpful info so plz read...ENJOY ;)

They’re great takes all around, just upgrade its stam, they can get really OP so I suggest getting one when you can, super useful early-game through realty any game

: encountering : if u encounter a wild one don’t try to outrun it try to outsmart it, it will lose intrest and just go attack other animals, or if it doesn’t get off your tail run around a few rocks and you should be fine, but it doesn’t go after raptors so don’t try it,

They’re spawn is kinda everywhere, I find that they’re usually surrounded my raptors but it’s kinda random with these guys, they spawn is forests, swamps, snow, all sorts of places

They don’t take slow but not fast either, you don’t need a lot of narcs....like I used two but I only needed like one sooo they’re great tames

GET ONE OF THESE DINOS!!!! 4 AND A HALF STARS! Lol

I'm my opinion carnos are super good at being guard dogs and as a transport mount thier long range attack and the knock back on the head but move is super good at killing alpha raptor you should pump a level 1 with 10 levels

4 to health

2 to weight

3 to stamina

1 to movement speed

Just killed a Carno with a pike by running around in circles with it #Legendary

It says that they don’t fit through double doorways but they can and I kinda found that out the hard way
