First time I tamed I was taming a pachy and I go to get narcos I come back and this thing is ravaging my pachy so I start hitting it with a club then it falls unconscious so I put meat from pachy and bam I got a Red Bull dino

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

While it can be overshadowed by more useful alternatives (argentavis) or stronger predators (Rex, Spino, etc), it is a very accessible tame early on if you need something to protect yourself and run around with (looking at you Aberration). Even with a bow, you don’t really need that many tranq arrows and it can, at high levels, shred everything you encounter, except maybe other tamed dinos or gigas (Would not recommend for bosses either), which helped me commit genocidal war crimes at the spino river in Aberration to level up fast.

I had a small outpost for a bass and I got the attention of a Carno and just played ring around the rosei, my advice keep something between u and bata Rex

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

how to tame a carnotaurus in ark:

step 1: have a structure trap for medium dinos

step 2: have a crosbow and tranquilizer arrows

step 3: find a carnotaurus and trap it in the structure trap and shoot it

and so you get a carnotaurus

After tlc the carno can now kill rock golems easily

Not to strong but will help in your ark world and make it go somewhere it can't get distracted or aggroed off of you and if u have one I suggest leveling up its hp,melee or speed

Use the secondary attack on stego. It never attacks, safe and easy prime and good for levelling

A female one attacked our damn Jeep whilst we were searching for gallimimus there

I fought a high level alpha carno my argen couldn't kill it so I got my lv. 151 thylaceo(thyla) to help me and she easily killed the alpha

for context: i only have 30 hours playtime. Most of which are wasted away on deleyed files bc spinos spawn and i don’t wanna mess w them. Barely watch gameplays because i’m stubborn and wanna figure this out game as most as i can on my own. that being said…

here i am, on the beach. level 20, trying to time a level high trike so feel somewhat safe. i had died several times because tranq arrows were failing me. so i decided, why not climb up this suspicious path to this cliff, and get convenient high ground? well… i get to the high ground. look down. carno. i had seen it earlier, but it was up on the cliff far away and decided to tuck the worry away. there shouldn’t have been anything to attract it, right? wrong. there it was. on the beach. by the trike. killing a parasour. i decided to hit it with tranq arrows. read somewhere about 8 should knock it out….. nope. got ultimately destroyed. Gonna go soon and try to either

A) Lure it back up the cliff and away from my temp start up base

B)…Take my chances, spam tranq arrows, and push stacks of raw meat…. Stupid? Maybe. Impossible? Probably. Very Probably. Certainly. But if it works? Genius.

Very easy tame

1: do lava cave with tiny save

2: tribute and get good crossbow dam=400

3: search good one make trap and trap carno

4: fire tranquilizer arrow and kock carno

5:feed him sooting balm and put meat or prime meat

6:carno tame and give him saddle and ride

Thanks for reading u like so up

Large bear trap it knock it tame it and then boom just note there run is annoying

Find yourself a rock thats hard to get on and hope that he doesn't knock you off i tamed mine with a crossbow and tranq arrows, really good base defense and overall tame

It is actually easy to kill just tame some dilos and wait for it to attack a big turtle then shoot it with a bow (keep the dilos on passive while shooting)

Get to a high spot and shoot at the carno and when it run go after it

Fly up to a cliff or ledge that it can’t reach and use tranq darts. Tranq arrows will work too it will just take longer

Carnos are excellent mounts and hunting and battle companions. At mid-level, my pack of five have speed slightly superior to a raptor and strength comparable to a low level Rex. Focus on building melee, speed and stamina. Combine them with a couple raptors, a Rex and a Trike and there will be very little you can't overcome.
