Tips & Strategies

What are tips for carnotaurus? Tips and strategies for carnotaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
EZ tame. Take crossbow with tranquilizer arrows. Equip Flak Armor. Go to Carnotaurus of your choice. Get on ground with it. Let it smack you while you tranquilize it. After knockout, place narcotics in inventory with raw meat/raw prime. Tame Carnotaurus. Bring home.
If you just knock it out with a tranq dart and give it meat it will take like two seconds to tame with smoothing balm but if it’s above 20 you might want to get something they like better then meat like a type of kibble
These are super easy to kill if you have a pike
If your a high level its like a dodo bird but If your 20 and less then just bola your Friend and you will be fine
I personally have tamed them in mass amounts using a ballista turret on a raft made just for taming, and have someone gun it down with tranqs.
low level Carnos are very easy to knockout with tranq darts from the longneck rifle. aim for the head. you can shoot from a distance by time they reach you you hope they are knocked out. if not run for the hills.
Use quetzal to drop them in a taming pen (2x3 worked for me) the you have a save, easy tame.
Took a level 42 carno down within 3seconds with 2 narc arrows! Highly recommend a good distance as very quick. Not to be underestimated !
Even when I was level 14 I managed to knock this out with a bow from the side of a cliff, then I could easily kill it. It gave me a ton of Xp and it was pretty easy
On MOBILE-
Great creature to have in any point of the game, I tamed a level 100, I think it got to like 120 after the tame, and I leveled it up to 4000 hp, 400-500% attack, and 800 weight, I took on a level 80 alpha raptor, now I'm just looking for a higher level mate for it to make some strong babies.
After dlc, they got better but way scaryer, with there main attack degenerating armor and there second doing that bleed, a trap is heavily advised
You don’t need taming pens to tame a carno. Just make some big bear traps and shoot it with tranq arrows. When it runs away just shoot some more arrows while making sure not to kill it and it will get knocked out. Then feed it regular meat and have some narcotics ready
Try and get a pteranodon and use it to get far away then load it up with tramways while it’s coming to you by the time it gets to your you’ll have 3-4 arrows and it will start to run when it does you know your close good luck
Really easy to find they spawn in red woods or in the jungles and a alpha spawns in the mountains pr the red woods
I have a strategy to build towers around my island on my single player game so stuff can’t reach me so I finally got a carno around my house and I got to to the top of one of my towers so I could tranq it and I seriously suggest this strategy :)
Use tranq arrows then put meat and bio toxin in bam carno
This thing is easy to kill when its alone. I didnt come close to dying I only wore hide armor and it was right after I knocked out a raptor. But I was using a powerful weapon. If one comes at you use your mouse powerful weapon depending on what level you are.
They are very fast lol
Plus there a damage bug in valgeuro atm
