How do I kill a carnotaurus? carnotaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you are trying to escape one, running on land is a bad idea so swim through a river and keep running, they are way slower than you in water and will lose interest if you are by other dinos
Do not run away in a straight line. Use the terrain and make turns to slow its charge.
Runs away after just a few shots/hits, depending on the level. Generally flees very quickly. Would be easy enough to kill. In the early game though, it's a pest to low-levels. You can tell you're being chased by the iconic pursuit sounds of its feet. My advice is, steer clear until you have the crossbow, or at the very least a bow.
Big animal... made up of all HEAD
If you are low level and see one far away, turn around and run. It's a good tip, except there are big passive dinos nearby. Then, just cross, and if it gets aggro on you, lead it to a big dino.
Avoid! Faster than Tyrannosaurus rex and that makes it almost as dangerous.
Watch out for these guys they can do bleed damage (im pretty sure) they also wont stop untill they kill you and camp your body but they are also very dumb if you have any flyer you can just lead them of cliffs and be on with your day.
To you scared of the alpha Carno, build 4 stone foundations and place them in a line facing the river, carno. It needs to look straight forward. On either sides, place stone walls that go up 2 blocks. Build 2 ramps and place them agains the wall, facing out where there are no foundations, and have them follow each other, like this.

The will be more horizontal in the game. Then close yourself in with more stone walls. Carnotauruses can’t break stone, so you will be ok. Get a trap set up ( infront of the top ramp but on the lowest floor, build a stone foundation and surround it with walls ) it may be grindy, but you, in a lot of time ( 20 days probably ) will farm up enough arrows. I’d say 1000 will do. Once everything is set up, lure the carno into the trap. Make sure you have a lot of wood and fiber on you to repair the bow you are using, and bam! You can kill the carno. Hope this helped ;)
If ur on a single player use another controller and make it split screen use that to be a bait pump the health and make it a bait whe ur player tranq it just make sure that it get aggro on the bait player which is the second controller player ;)
to kill build a tall ramp and put spike walls at the bottom so it looks like this /. put a tamed flying creature with a saddle at the top get the carno to charge up the ramp hop on your flying boi and fly away the carno will fall on the traps and die you might want to put the spikes a bit away from the ramp so it doesn’t miss because of momentum. this works with all charging creatures
You can kill this guy with a level 60 Raptor, he is distracted easily so he'll hunt other dinosaurs so if it fight other dinosaur you fight him too with a raptor, best way to kill.
You need a 110% speed to out run a carno but when taamed can kill a low level rex if the carno is medium level
tbh. These things are easy to outrun, just have a bunch of skidish creatures around it
So I was walking up a mountain looking for some gold when I saw a tail I thought 💭what is that?💭but when I went past it hoping to sneak around but I looked and it had horns I was like CARNO! It looked like it was feeding on a Dino corpse so I was planning to sneak around but I was done feeding and it went around the rock and saw me I attempted to run but I got caught between some rocks and it bit me I ran out of those rocks and down the mountain with my shoulder bleeding.I ran around a sharp turn hoping the carno would fly off the mountain and die .but it chased me and injured me with my leg broken and me moving very slow I still ran over to a mountain right before I jumped it snatched me back onto land and ate me alive.so look out for these if your new to the game
Took two of these on the pro hunt no bola hunt. Didn’t get a bruise on me.
If you see this guy then get away ASAP super aggressive and they charge at you from nowhere... If caught off guard then use all resources and do not back down... These guys become easy to kill when you have swords... Some raptors or a tanky tame is recommended to bring it down swiftly before it can do much damage
Once I was taming a raptor. I’d managed to bola one and was about to knock it out, when a carno came running straight at me. I was low level, so I ran like d#cks until it the battle music stopped. The moral? I hate carnos. ( I did kill it later though when I had a sword
If you so happen to have a horse with over 290% melee then just run up and start hind kicking and level 40s run in 7 hits
When if alpha or regular carno you need a longneck or compound bow
To kill it you need a couple of ramps that spike wall thing and a flying creature make a ramp put spike down the back and have your flying creature at the top with saddle get the Carno to run to the top (with you as bait) get on your boy fly slightly of the edge Carno will chase you and fall onto the spike repeat until killed(note this works with all charging creatures)
