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.
Whoever said “tame a jerboa and use it as carno bait,” you are a monster.
If you aggro a carno, just run like the devil towards another Dino. They often will lose interest in you and attack the Dino instead.
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?
When I get on the game I walk along the beach and there’s this carnotaurus just chilling killing a turtle I look at the health, the thing has 3,400 Health with a matting boost, save me pls
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.
I encountered a Alpha and the last thing I knew I was a bag.
Crossbow cooks low level carno but level 30 is where it gets tricky
Get a jerboa and name it carno bait, if one aggros on you, toss it and boogie
Bastards killed my christmas coloured argie. RIP Peppernint.
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
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.
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
Dont be scared, just pelt it with tranqs while standing on a tall cliff, these guys just look frightening
OH and a thing you should know is these guys have have eagle ahh eyes so watch out while grinding with these mfs near.
Aladar ain't gonna help you this time buddy. Be safe, bring a friend-as a distraction, of course.
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
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 ;(
How to kill a carno
Please note: this strategy only works if the carno is next to raft accessible waters
You will need: arrows, bow, and raft
1: based on the level difficulty, get as many arrows as you think you need
2: find a carno* on a raft and get within shooting range. Remember not to get to close
3: dismount your raft and prepare your bow
4: shoot it down
Hope this helps! This strategy worked for me with the no bola, better run mission.
* best place on mobile for carnos is the dead island
