I just found level 27 alpha Carno it’s a good level I’m on easy easy and then searched up why my tranqs don’t work then realised you can’t tame alphas 😭😭😭😭 wasted a ton of tranqs

The first thing I tame once I get tranq arrows and a bow.

Just build a trap out of stone (or wood if You don’t have stone yet)

shoot it with in the head with tranqs, feed it raw mutton and narcotics, You have a Carno now!

They’re great with Raptors or even Dilos if you don’t have the saddle unlocked yet. They can even take out Rexes or low level Basilisks if there’s multiple.

Besides, they can go inside your base for defending it since they’re not too big.

Once I found a 290 carno so I tamed it and I checked it's stats and she had so much points in melee so I took on a level 180 alpha raptor and won.

Just get the high ground a rock should work

if you see a alpha (with particles and fire on it) RUN even if you have a pack of raptors you will lose

If you encounter a Carno, you can go into some sorts of deep water like a deep river or ocean because they are not good swimmers. If you are prepared to tame one I would recommend kibble and Trang darts out of a longneck rifle. They are fast so a trap such as on with doorways and a ramp. Another idea is sacrificing dinosaurs like Parasaurs and small dinosaurs then shoot it while it is distracted with the other dinosaurs.

There’s an old ALfu one near me please help

Be careful, carnos come seemingly out of nowhere, are quite fast, and can kill your raptor before your raptor can kill it. I recommend a decent level trike with good melee and stamina, and a pteranodon to kill it.

Carnos are super damn loud and they sound like stomping and a Motor machine

Coming back from 200m from my base in the foot paw, I saw one attack a wild parasaur, then come after me. I’m a noob so I died.The moral is to never try to tame dilos 😭

8 tranq arrows from a crossbow knocked out my carno she was lvl 33 used 7 narcotics and 30 +/- raw meat (not prime) took about 15 mins give or take she was extremely close to waking up but i was going to get crystals not a carno so i wasn't prepared 😅

For killing the alpha:There is a height in which you can hit it with your flight without being noticed even.My Lv80 Argent with 1500 stamina can easily kill one with several turns of rest and attack.Also valid on alpha raptors.INVALID on alpha rexes.They are so fast and their attack radius is huuuuuuuuuge so their is almost no way you hit it without being re-attacked.

It's sad to see the carno been replaced bt so many better dinos I recommend getting a barynex or a dire wolf if you want all around mount

WILD Carnos are just 0.5 units faster than a player with no points in speed, 892 vs. 892.5

If you have one point in movement speed, you should just be able to outrun wild Carnos, but don't count on it.

In reference to carno kibble: you can use cooked fish meat in place of normal cooked meat. Fun fact!

Nice I am barely no known to know a lot more than I could

U can get one early game doesn't matter your lvl as long as you got a sling shot.

So first craft 2 sling shots yes two.

Put them in your hotbar and farm rocks along beaches or hit large rocks with a hatchet, next find it carno don't attack yet find high ground high enough to where it can't climb keep smacking it with ur sling shot and slowly but surely it will go down it'll take about two minutes then feed it some prime meat or raw meat it honestly doesn't matter and feed it some narcotics or bio toxins or in my case I gave it soothing balm and yeh that's it there are great creatures nice base stats great speed good health destroying melee attack can't wait till I get a saddle for it

Don't run into it at low level... you will die

wait to get a pteranadon to attack it. these dinos are really easy to kill. just make sure to keep an eye on stamina and for any surrounding carnivores.

This would probably be your first or second carnivore and it is not that useful in pvp except for the knock back.
