Tips & Strategies

how to tame annoying ahh carnos that kill most dino’s and you:
1. get bow (level 10) and tranq arrows (level 21)
2. make a trap for it (u can easily find on yt)
3. find carno and shoot tranq arrows while u run to ur trap and trap it
4. shoot tranq arrows until it is unconscious.
5. feed it meat (raw meat, raw mutton, prime meat,etc)
6. boom, u got a carno.
tranq arrows are unlocked at level 21 but need narcotics (level 6) which are craftable at a Mortar and Pestle with Nacroberries (black ones) and Spoiled meat (keep any meat in ur inventory for along time to make it spoil).
You know what you can just climb a rock and tranq it then you can feed it prime meat
Very easy taming:
Step 1 look for scorpions
Step 2 tame
Step 3 mount it
Step 4 look for carno, rex, etc.
Step 5 just attack they dont agro insects (evil laugh)
Step 6 watch as they fall unconcious
Step 7 shove prime meat down their throat
Step 8 wait or roam around the map
Step 9 tap yourself for a job well done in taming
Step 10 become the boss of the whole island (evil laugh)
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.
First giant carnivore I tamed, named it Jade.
I remembered that second, everything frozen, the alpha Rex’s bite, my bronto’s attack that finished the alpha Rex off… seeing all my tames lying on the thing that was my once indestructible base… Jade was at my side.
Starting over, traveling to the hidden lakes, almost killed by raptors… Jade’s final stand at the footpaw peninsula where I tamed her, me helplessly watching Jade and the spino both crash to the ground…
R.I.P Jade
Alright guys! Lord Fred saw that message you gave him. It’s time to tame a Carnotaurus!
Step 1: go locate a single one. It’s important because other ones will follow. DO NOT GO FOR A YUTY CARNO GROUP U WILL VANISH!
Step 2: this is a u can but u don’t have to. Build a trap with stone. It’s easy and leases the pain on u.
Step 3: tranquilize it. It is only tranq method.
And feed him and 123….. poof 💥 u tamed him!
If this gets pass 50, I’ll make one on a Rex. Signed, Lord Fred
DO NOT USE NORMAL BOLA, almost died due to a untrue tip
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.
If there low lv they make a pretty easy tame high lv they get anoying make sure to build a trap for high lvs
I highly recommend getting up high on a boulder or getting the carno stuck somewhere while knocking it out. Unless you are a high level, you will not be able to outrun it.
Taking a Carnotaurus is actually pretty easy if you have the right items! (For Mobile edition!)
1. Get lots of meat or prime meat (prime meat is faster)
2. Get a Tranq Bow and Narcotics
3. Trap the Carnotaurus in a large bear trap (craft 2 just in case it escapes the trap)
4. Feed the carno the meat and feed it the narcotics when the unconscious bar gets low
5. And done! You have yourself a Carno!
I use y trap on the carno and it work
Tamed carnos are excellent almost all around: their health, attack speed, and base damage allow you to take on most of the creatures on the island, including Rexes and Alpha Raptors. Having a mated pair greatly strengthens this quality. They run fairly fast and can carry a lot, making great transport mounts. They are a fairly good harvester of meat and prime meat.
Their only real disadvantage is a slow stamina regen, even when stood completely still.

Whoever said “tame a jerboa and use it as carno bait,” you are a monster.
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.
To escape: you can swim use a flyer use a raft or take your chances and run.
To tame: you can make it on a big rock with a ladder (what I did) or you can use stone but I'm not too sure about wood. Hopefully this helped.
PS: DONT LET IT IN WATER I killed my first one like that.
After you tame it upgrade its weight health melee damage movement speed and stamina as much as possible even by its self it can wipe out a group of raptors with its natural health and strength.
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?
