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

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…

Having a pack of Dilos is a good way to combat one early on: they can slow it down with their spit attack, they can be generally hard for it to consistently hit, and carnos focus more on dinos than humans so if you get ambushed chances are it might change focus to your dilos.…

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

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…

Wanted to write this for a year but never got around to it. While riding your carno, you are still prone to getting knocked off it by a wild Raptors pounce attack. Not sure how it's possible, but I found out the hard way.

so one time i was in my house and i was crafting a behemoth dino gateway and i hear battle music play i look outside my house and dead carno my dinos killed it in less than 2 seconds

Now, your probably wondering what do I do to tame a Carno?

1. Make some tranq arrows, about four

2. Find the Carno of course

3. Shoot it on the neck bit but you can on the body

4. This gets tricky, you can feed it raw meat but if it’s over the level of 2, you need…

Large bear traps are the most under used thing in the game. Get like 7 or 8 of the large variety and when you see a carno put one down between you and it, agro it, shoot transfer and rinse and repeat till he's down.

Pretty good beginner dino, tamed a level 1 one just now-took 1 traq arrow from a cross bow to knock, 5 regular raw meat to tame, and I didn't even get hurt in the process. As well as doing a sufficient amount of damage to protect you, it has an ability to knock creatures…

These guys are not good swimmers lol. My first carno named Ravager (yeah, like the Aberration dog) drowned when I lead my creatures up a cliff in Ragnarok. He couldn’t find the way up, so he ran into a small lake, ran out of stamina, and drowned. RIP Ravager, too stupid to…

Great first carnivore tame. Pretty easy to knock out, strong, fast, and has a saddle that is fairly easy to make. Definitely recommend.

So i was walking down the shore line near my cabin looking for a dilo (i was planning on taming one), when out of nowhere, a carno comes running at me. I immediately stopped what i was doing and made a break for my cabin. I quickly ran inside and shut the door. What i didnt…
