If you see an alpha carno, DONT ATTACK IT. It does so much damage and I could only kill it with my level 240 pteranodon. It takes a lot of hits. Don’t attack alpha carnos

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

You know it's them when you hear those loudass footsteps no other creature in ark makes

If you find one attacking you while you're on a flier, lead it off a steep cliff with no way to get up, then fly up far and go to your destination.

Uh oh, I was just starting, and saw a carno eating. It finished its meal and walk away and saw…

ME!!!

I sprinted into the water, and the carno injured me. He swam away. But when I came back up for air, he killed me. Now I have to get the campfire materials all over again.

I found a 435 alpha carno in redwoods while trying to tame thylacoleo like wtf?, It had like 85k health

Big animal... made up of all HEAD

For the no bola better run it is pretty easy to kill them using a person 2nd alt move mine is a high level around 40 so be careful I would just go to the redwoods get on a big boulder with a flyable in case they could damage you and just spam it with arrows

Fun fact they are easily manipulated and fooled

What is the best strategy to kill alpha carno

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.

Just put levels I’m movement speed and shoot it with a gun works everytime

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 ;)

I hate these things more than I hate taxes. Get movement speed to a solid 134%. I've found that you can out run them with that. If you're in red wood run to a dire bear for safety even if it's wild just don't go too close. I've never seen a carno kill a bear. Collect the carno's prime after this and enjoy ;).

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 ;)

I am really new to this game I venture a little bit far from my base a carno started chasing me I have no pets what do I do I can't lure it to my base what do I do

Took two of these on the pro hunt no bola hunt. Didn’t get a bruise on me.

Terribly weak dino. Needs a buff badly, I'm not even intimidated by it in the wild... Could probably fist fight it and win... It essentially has same exact stats as Baryonyx but it's not equivalent to a God on land like Bary is underwater

I swam out to a rock and it got trapped then i shot it about 10 times with an ascendant bow

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
