Encountering Tips

How do I kill a carnotaurus? carnotaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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.
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.
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
Whoever said “tame a jerboa and use it as carno bait,” you are a monster.
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.
You know
As a 5 year old
I loved carnos in ark mobile really much and I still kept it when I moved to pc
And lemme tell ya
Every time is see a carno
WAS TO TAME IT
I M NOT KIDDING
MY LOVE FOR CARNOS IN ARK IS INEVITABLE
Bastards killed my christmas coloured argie. RIP Peppernint.
Get a jerboa and name it carno bait, if one aggros on you, toss it and boogie
I saw on of those beasts on mobile it was lvl30 that could've been a big win but when I was hitting him I I accidentally hit an iguanadon so it killed me and tried to kill hull my turtle so I told him to attack the iguanadon only but hull ended up killing the carno by accident and till that day I swore to destroy every iguanadon in ark
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
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 and we all got absolutely destroyed..
RIP - Heisenberg (the rex)
RIP - Cornelius
RIP - a random unnamed carno.
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
Ummm I don’t know if this is normal but I was flying around on my pt when I saw a CARNO and a SARCO teaming up and going on a killing spree. I watched from a tall rock for a while and they never attacked each other 🙁🤷🏼♀️ huh
theres no way I just witnessed a level 2 carno beat a full hp level 26 spino like wth 💀
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 ;(
Aladar ain't gonna help you this time buddy. Be safe, bring a friend-as a distraction, of course.
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 know at the time was that carnos can damage wood (what my cabin was made out of). Therefore it smashed through my wall, killed my dodo, and then killed me (ouch 😑) Up = rip for odin (my dodo), and/or my wall
