If you want the Lazy, Easy way of taming one of these, Get it to Agro onto a Diplo then use a Slingshot or Tranq Arrows/Bullets and You got yourself a easy carno tame.
I have a alpha carto by my base so I’m trying to tame a lot of cartos and make them fight to the death
Just go on a nearby cliff bruh ._.
I knocked it out with a club, just because. I do not recommend. But now I have a carno named Apex.
Fast and manuverable, these hardy soldiers are great for clearing out those pesky dinosaurs loitering around your land. With a decent health pool and damage, these guys can help with cleaning up your land from dinos. Be careful, though! Carnos can only do so much by themselves. Giving them help in any way makes them really effective! They are also adept at gathering prime meat, so they are great hunters overall!
I used an Iguanadon to outrun it whilst shooting it with tranq arrows.
There are 2 ways you can tame a carno,one can be used for people who has alot of points invested into movement speed,or you can build a trap which is much safer than the first taming method.
1-The first way is more dangerous but costs less and needs less peperation,but the second needs more preparation but is safer than the first),for people with alot of points into movement speed(like I said)how this method works is,first your movement speed needs to be atleast 130-150 or more,as they are a bit slower than a raptor,so,you first attract it's attention by using tranq darts or tranq arrows(for super low levels sling shots MAYBE can be used)but the wooden club is out of the question.
You atract it's attention,then start pelting it with your house or tranq ammo,then when it gets close to you run away from it,when it's atleast 5 meters away from you(about 3-6 foundations),start shooting it with tranq ammo,repeat this process and check it's torpor(it's process of getting knocked out/the purple thing that you view below it's hp with a spyglass),with a spyglass,when it's torpr reaches about 90% it will start to run and flee,then Persue it until it's knocked out.(SN:this method also works with a fast ground mount with some points into movement speed or a fast flying mount,example:raptor for ground mound and pteresaur/pterenadon)
2-build a 2x1 or 2x2 box with the walls being 1 wall high,atract it's attention,lure it into the trap(use a ground mount if it makes you feel safer,like raptor)once it's in the trap,pelt it with the tranq ammo of your choice.
2-whichever method you prefer,once it's knocked out,use narcotics or biotoxin(I prefer biotoxin imo)to keep it asleep,use either raw meat or prime meat for taming,and it ark mobile,use soothing balm with it,this is necessary if you want to tame a high level carno in ark mobile,this works in arks pc version,but thet no soothing balm there,idk what kibble in ark pc carno eats,but feed it,keep it asleep,and protect it with wooden spike walls if you want extra protection.
3-boom,you've got yourself a new and fresh carno,these guy's saddles unlock at level 46,and are monsters,slightly slower than a raptor but, better,more damage,more weight,and more health,if you want a good and powerful Dino in the early game,these guys are it,if have a high level carno,level 300+ preferebly,you can kill low level trexes eazily,but be careful,I think raptors can pull you off your carno with their pounce ability.

First day on Fjordur I had a campfire going and some meat cooking, next thing you know a a 140 Carno is chasing me 😭
Alpha carno spell death last thing you see is its horns
theres no way I just witnessed a level 2 carno beat a full hp level 26 spino like wth 💀
Don’t be scared of this little man.
I had a pack of level 10 raptors I just had gotten and we easily beat a level 2 Carno. Not only that but these dudes are such scaredy cats. You hit them a bit and they run as fast as possible when they are low.
Up so the noobs won’t be scared
If you want a good Carno, you are bound to find one in the redwood forest if playing on mobile. Pretty easy tame.
Don't try to fight a carno with melee weapons. Use ranged weapons like bows or guns. Also, a carno will try to kill your Dinos before you, so be warned.
Before my game got overrode I had two of these guys. They were absolute beasts, I would run around with them and farm supplies from dinosaurs. The best way to tame them is to him them once get on a flying mount get on high ground, and then pump them full of tranquilizers. They make great mounts too.
Taming a carno is easy but knocking it out is very hard because it runs away fast when it is about to get knocked out. Best strat is to make a taming pen 2x2 stone platforms surrounded by stone door frames(2 walls high) and wooden ramps.
I used this way on Tanya the carno
