Tips & Strategies

What are tips for carnotaurus? Tips and strategies for carnotaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
In my experience the best way to tranq ones is in the red woods or just build a tame trap and make sure to starve it then add meat it works a lot better
When I knocked one out another carno cale up to me but did not attack mine, maybe because it wanted me more, but I drove it away with my bird
I had seen them around and always been careful around them before (pretty hard to miss and easy to avoid), but my first actual fight with one actually happened inside the base of a tribe I just joined. It spawned INSIDE THE BASE.
I let it chase me into a room and locked the door behind me, only to realise that it was the same room as the tribe fabricator.
It set a bad first impression on the tribe leader and I got kicked out later on for other reasons, but yeah. Don't build your base too big or these guys could spawn in while you're at the smithy and wreck everything inside.
Since they cannot damage stone, it is best to make a taming pen made of stone. A dino gateway with stone doorways and walls on top of those makes for a quick in and out dino taming experience. Safely knock out and tame the carno this way.
I’m on mobile and this guy’s hunger bar takes way longer to deplete than my patience bar, how do I tame it?
Up = just wait
Down = use soothing balm
Carno:hey allo
Allo:yea carno
Carno:what if there was a Ceratosaurus
Allo:hmm I never thought of that thought would be interesting
Carno:it might have a special bone brake ability and get rid of 15%of all defensive and offensive stats vary with how many ceratos and the size of the dino
name a more iconic duo then sabertooth and carno
Can you teaming carno to me please
Bro with the alpha, I’m feeling you u should make sure u at least have a sleeping bag at base, unequip evrything and run next to and away from it. If ur fast enough u should lead it away. I have ten on speed tho so be careful cus I’m faster
I find a dangerous area get my crossbow with tranq arrows and narcotic and raw meant and I tame it
These guys are GREAT! They are great early-mid game tames and can catch up to fast dinosaurs. They have a secondary attack on mobile but I don't think it bleeds out the target. Sad. Despite that, great fenders from smaller dinosaurs and take down tanks as well. Stamina regen is kinda slow so you might wanna put some points into that. They are also great at gathering prime meat.
If you want a Caron or Rex go the center spawn at lava island (hard) and you will find it
EASY
TIPS
When I started a carno was stuck on a rock near my house
Get a very strong dilo pack and kill kill kill!
Make sure the carno is aggro on another Dino like a moschops then shoot 2-3 tranq arrows at it with a decent bow (I used ascendant but other bows will work aswell) then feed raw meat and boom tamed carno
These guys aren’t scary give em a nice slap across the face and they will be on their way!
Do you want to time a carno? Well if you do then read this!
Carnos are great early-mid game tames! They can even be used in endgame.
Utility Roles!
Carnos are great meat gatherers. Like an early game giga.
They are pretty solid mounts too! They protect, they defend, but most importantly.. they attack. They looks super cool.

Now let’s get to taming!
In order to tame this dino. Your going to need lots of meat, they prefer prime meat though. Also make sure to get around 10-20 tranqs depending on the level. I small level carno gets knocked out fast. So you may need even less! At least bring one narcotic. In my experience I didn’t need one. But I tamed a low level.
Now you need to find one. I’ve seen one spawn at south province one, but it was lucky. I tamed mine in between the red woods and the swamp. I fought two but I only got to tame 1.
Once you find a carno you going to either want to do one of the following:
You can use large bear traps I think. But bringing a couple doesn’t hurt.
If you want to be cheap or then just get on a big rock or a ledge and fire away! When it runs chase that thing down like usain bolt.
Oh, so you want to be fancy? You can create some elaborate trap by using door ways and ramps and platforms.. but I’m not that type of dude.
Now just tranq that boy down and you got yourself a carno!
My name is Etheral and my last “how to tame” was the dilo!
KILL OR TAME GET A GET5 TO 6 DINOSAURS AND MAKE THEM FIGHT WHEN IT GETS LOW MAKE THEM STOP THEN TRANq IT AND BOOM YOU GOT A CARNOTORAS
If you’re ever being chased by a carno run to the nearest ocean or body of water that’s somewhat deep and you just need to swim down because the carno can’t follow you and eventually it gives up and leaves.
If you're on a online server there's usually traps everywhere for taming dinos
