Encountering Tips

How do I kill a carnotaurus? carnotaurus encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I'm new to the game so I haven't leveled up and gotten access to op stuff but I kept getting spawn camped by one. No matter how hard I tried, a normal bow couldn't kill it before it killed me. So I decided to run between the legs of a broncho and she took care of it for me and now I have to deal with a spino
Having a carno is almost required early game get one ss fast as you can, then just shred through early game
Carnos have a “blind spot” where they have trouble hitting you. If you get under their chest, then they have trouble attacking. Sometimes they’ll put you in their blind spot on their own and just stop attacking. I’m on mobile btw, so idk if it’s the same on console/PC
I have a alpha carto by my base so I’m trying to tame a lot of cartos and make them fight to the death
First day on Fjordur I had a campfire going and some meat cooking, next thing you know a a 140 Carno is chasing me 😭
theres no way I just witnessed a level 2 carno beat a full hp level 26 spino like wth 💀
Don't try to fight a carno with melee weapons. Use ranged weapons like bows or guns. Also, a carno will try to kill your Dinos before you, so be warned.
Alpha carno spell death last thing you see is its horns
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
Use a crossbow or a pistol and just pray that you don’t get eaten
If you need to find carnos for the "pro hunt: no bola, better run" pursuit, then go to the tundra and find yutyrannuses cause they will ALWAYS spawn with 3 carnos.
If you are asking these questions then I have replies:
1. Are you serious?
No, I am not serious
2. Is this a joke?
Yes, this is a joke
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
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
I have two. One called Toast and one called Waffle. FABULOUS!
Just have 130% movement speed and you can run circles around the carno
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
One is at my base and spawn camping me😖😭🤬🤕
The Redwoods on the Center is the best place to find high level Carnos. Most of them are in the upper 90s, with the exception of a few level 45s.
Carlos are really great all around if you can get past their horrendous stamina recovery
Use high level trike to kill alpha or normal carno by its knockback
Use a pike to kill it Anyways pike
