I'm playing mobile. My base is on the western peninsula by the red obelisk. There's a level 240 alpha carno chilling across the water from me. She has 46k health. God please save me.

How to kill a carno

Please note: this strategy only works if the carno is next to raft accessible waters

You will need: arrows, bow, and raft

1: based on the level difficulty, get as many arrows as you think you need

2: find a carno* on a raft and get within shooting range. Remember not to get to close

3: dismount your raft and prepare your bow

4: shoot it down

Hope this helps! This strategy worked for me with the no bola, better run mission.

* best place on mobile for carnos is the dead island

If you get one aggro on you, just find the nearest dino and book it. They are kinda tarded and lose interest when other dinos are nearby.

Whoever said “tame a jerboa and use it as carno bait,” you are a monster.

Quick tip for new/replaying people, TAME A CARBONEMYS. They are super easy to find, very easy to get food for, easy to tranq, only kinda hard thing is getting a saddle for them. But if you get past that bit, you get a early game tank that can solo raptor packs. Now for the tip on the carnotauurus, get two carbonemys,(or one high hp one) and shoot tranq arrows at it while mounted on one. Put one of them on neutral, and let it attack the carno to distract it, and just shoot it over and over. Don’t get off the mount though, or else you die. If you got only one, you might just be fine shooting it while mounted if it’s got 3500+hp

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

So back when i was a new ark player i tamed 8 raptors just for defense, later on i spotted an alpha carno walking down the beach towards my base, and not wanting my newly tamed sarco, and trike to die, I did something any normal person with 8 raptors would do. Me and the pack and charged into battle, lets just say i lost all but one, Silver. Shes still alive today and happy, And we did kill the alpha carno.

My friend who is a noob was playing with me on mobile. I was helping them not die. I turn my Head for ONE second and they got killed by a carno. So, yes….. they thought it was a parasaur……how?

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.
