Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Carnotaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Underrated but incredible, specially when you are starting.

When taming one just use the Classic 2x2 trap, o recommend to use more door frames since a carno can get out of the trap.

You can also use them to fight all sorts of alpha dinos.

To destroy alpha carnos and…

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

I am currently taming a carno rn so here’s some tips for new players: low levels need like 7 tranq arrows! Use carb (the turtle) for tanking hits or use iguanadon to jump onto a rock and shoot there! DO NOT USE BOLAS THEY DONT WORK!! Use normal kibble or raw prime meat (in my…

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.

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!

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

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

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

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…

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…

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…

Lwk very easy to tame on mobile, tamed a level 250 in 6 ark days and level 42.

1. Do the exterminator quest for OP armor.

2. Do the hunt Dilophosaurus quest for an OP bow.

3. Save the game and get tranq arrows.

4. Fire tranqs arrows while it’s hitting you and you should…

Very useful mid-late game, I have a carno lvl 218 with 4 raptors lvl 180+ and they can escort me anywhere. They kill Rex's like is no big deal. The only thing we can't defeat are titans. The day will come......

Carnos can be used for cave expeditions, especially central cave where they can right click attack everything. Just get out before night!

Carnos are a good start for tames that deal good damage. If your a high enough level and see a whole pack of these, not a big deal, mow it down but if you even see a glimpse of a alpha carno.. please run. I brought my lvl 14 Rex and two carnos to carno island to get obsidian…

A simple way to get these guys is to simply distract them with something delicious. Command something tanky (Ex. Carbonemys) to attack them, then set them to passive so they don’t kill the Carno. Then, you can pelt it with a slingshot or bow and tranq arrow until it goes…
