What is a carnotaurus used for? carnotaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
One of the best starter tames for a new survivor on Abberation. You can outrun lots of dangerous carnivores if you upgrade a little movement speed, and they are perfect for working your way up to taming a Spinosaurus. If you’re ever struggling to choose to tame either a Sarco or this, choose this.
CAREFULL WITH THAT PRIME MEAT even though the spoil bar doesn't go down in a carno inventory they do spoil in his inventory just as fast as your inventory I learned this after me and my pod of ichthyosaur killed a basilo and got its meat put it in Carno and boom its gone and I knew he didn't eat it cause there where like 20 spoiled meat and his regular meat stack I had for him was still the exact same from when I had put the prime meat in

— The Wyvern King tm
This creature is often overlooked as people who want power Tame Rexes and people who want speed tame allos
this creature is probably the cave mount anyone could ask for: it’s fits in to 6/7 cave (exception cave of the sky lord) and is powerful enough to take every creature in that cave. (Not true for the ice cave)
Outclassed by Allos somewhat but a good early-mid game mount (especially since Allos can be very hard to tame considering how hazardous the regions they inhabit are).
They are fast and have a slim profile making them great for traversing the forests and the coastlines, their bleed lets them tear through otherwise tanky dinos with some work. However they are not good for handling the bigger dangers on the Island since they don’t get any pack benefits and are pretty frail, luckily their speed lets them escape most dangers.
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.
These guys make creatures bleed like the Deinonychus I had about five that were high level and we managed to kill a Giganotosaurus! It was about level six. Two of them died, their names were Strike and Smash. Please up this tip to encourage me to look for more Stolen Headstones so I can give them a personal gravestone. Sniff Sniff
