How do I kill a carnotaurus? carnotaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Please help! What do I do? A carno has killed me near my house and I don’t know how I can get back to the house!
So I was in a forest and saw a raptor run by me. I thought he was attacking me so I got out my assault rifle and was ready to shoot. I then realized that it didn’t come back. It just kept running. Then I saw why. It was charging at a lvl.11 male carno! I then remembered I had enough material to make a carno saddle right there. Not to mention I had a lot of raw meat on me. I decided to kill the raptor, (which I did.) and get out my tranq gun. After killing the raptor I only had time to shoot one dart at the carno before it attacked. I almost died. I had no choice but to kill it. I wouldnt be as disappointed if it was common for me to see these guys. Only it’s not.
Oh well. Maybe next time.
I actually found a carno that had no stamina, easiest tame of my life
Alright so I had just discovered the hidden lake and there WAS THREE CARNOS JUST WALKING AROUND SLAUGHTERING THE LOCALS, one starts running at me and it was about to headbutt me when a para spawned next to me and saved my butt, thank u para, may u Rest In Peace
I didn't know about anyone else but be careful. My first encounter way by a river and one of these game out of the woods and attacked my Parasaur at same time a raptor worked with it and took me off my mount and killed me. Never thought I'd see two different species work together.
So, who doesn't love a carnotaurus? They are amazing, and pretty easy to tame. BTW, if you want a lot of hide, go to the beach on the right side of the map, and there's an alpha carno that literally kills EVERYTHING. Go ahead and get close to it. It's probably killing a Parasar, and won't notice you.
I was fighting some dodos with my new tamed Carno and then a Theri attacked me. Whith the knockback attack i easly took him out! Use it and you‘ll be able to fight anything!
One was near my base today my paracer stomped it to death:[
Does anyone know in what area I can find alpha carnos?
My lvl 458 daeodon named Pumba with 50k+ hp and 2k+ melee killed the lvl 198 alpha variants of this thing like it was nothing lmao
Since nobody understands that this section is for tips, not stories, ill give my best advice. At a low level, these things will be pretty dangerous. If you can't avoid them, get up on a rock, and shoot it until it's dead. Once you hit a certain level, they become little more than a nuisance. They're fast, so be prepared for them being able to outrun you.
Carnos spawn most often in: the element falls region of Aberration. The mountains of scorched earth are also a good place to look.
Bruh I'm in an Herbivore Island then I saw this kind of devil killing all Dinosaurs in that Island so I just ran in my House because wtf I'm a newbie it's like a TRex...
Carnos are weak they ran after me and I shot it down with a psistol I was a level 48 but know I think I may end up taming one
I was trying to tame a carno,i made a giant bear trap and much narcotics and arrows but when i decide to go with my two balls,It banish,mhm he was scared of me
Go to the creature and run find a high place like a big Rock or something that is high enough that it is out of reach of u then just fill it with
Trance
You might confuse carnos with allos but I know that allos make a snarl, grunt, snarl snarl and carnos make a snarl, snarl, grunt, grunt grunt sound. Also allos glow when they are alpha and carnos do the opposite of allos.

When I encounter my carno I use my crossbow with Tranq arrow and it kills me. And when I came back I go under it and I punch it until it gets knocked out.
There is both a alpha carno and a alpha raptor near my fjordur base, and I tried to kill them but they killed me and I can’t get it back
Do you want to have a peaceful life without these mfs? Well I have the solution for you!
1st get around 18-20 Primitive arrows
2nd find some low level annoying ahh carnos (check the jungle they usually spawn there)
3rd get on a rock
4th find a carno attacking a pack of raptors or attacking a trike
5th shoot the carno with your arrows
6th make sure that the aim is good or you’ll miss a arrow and that arrow might be the arrow you need later
7th 7 arrows should kill it
8th do the griddy infront go the dead carno
9th use a axe or metal axe to harvest the corpse which should give you lots of raw meat ( I got 6 groups of 40 raw meat )
10th use the raw meat and turn 2 groups into cooked meat and turn one group into rotten meat to make narcotics
11th now go look for more and once you find more do my steps starting from 3
