Encountering Tips

How do I kill a carnotaurus? carnotaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These guys normally spawn in grasslands I saw one hunting a Triceratops when one came to my area
I need help with killing this beast any tips. I’m only level 15
When it puts its head down, it's vulnerable to easy head shots, weather that be by ranged or melee. The best melee would be the sword especially with the knock back, and shotgun for burst damage.
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
Always (if using melee) go under the belly, it may seem like it’s attacking you. But it is only trying, my brother killed a level 34 with a primative stone pick that way!!!!!
Dont try to out run one, I found that out the hard way.
I tamed one of these guys on craggs island, they are quite good tames even without a saddle because they take on just about everything and their horns are natural sunglasses so they can fight in the summer!
I found a lvl. 20 when I was wandering around on my sarco, I decided to tame him (inspiration from Bruce Wayne’s story) it was a female so I named it grilled cheese (only people who watch nerve gaming crystal isles understand). They are pretty great they have decent stats all around plus they aren’t that hard to find. Good luck and remember, don’t DIE!
Can be picked up with Karkinos
When I first started, I tamed a mesopithicus as my first creature (not the best choice). Anyways, I was just walking around and this monster just decides to execute him right infomt of my eyes
if you see one go to the nearest trike stego or a carbo it will distract it
btw for some reason its "you have entered a dangerous area" goes away at lvl 51
One time I saw one and I was taming a peligurns and a carto came and was like dude don’t mine me just killing your tame
Just Get A Baryonix Its much easy to tame with just a bola and some tranq arrows or slingshot :)
If u see one RUN for Ur life. If I try to tame one please don't u WILL die.
run if you you new do not punch him
If you want to tame these, 100% go to Scorched Earth. Go to the mountains areas (I went to the north mountains) and find heaps of carnos. Kill the sabers and thorny Dragons (or whatever’s around) and get an easy carno tame. There are so many that I found a high level within 10 minutes (and high levels are hard to find on SE)
Happy Taming!
Also with the carno situation there are 3 long neck things near my base should I run back?
I found an alpha and it had 102,000 hp soooo it didn’t go well for me
Whoever said these don't agro on insect , DONT Believe IT It's all propoganda and lies , I very much got my ass handed to me when i tried to approach a carno on my Scorp , I was fortunate enough to tranq the carno before it killed my venomous buddy, Whenever these guys are around approach with Caution or get Horned
how to find a carnotaurus you may be wondering, but my friend calm down they are easy to find they are in open spaces at least on the island you can find them like this
