Only took my whole hot bar filled with slingshots and about 1200 stone but that lvl 6 is out cold now!
Karkinos
The Karkinos is a massive crab-like creature in Ark: Aberration that can grab and smash creatures and players. It can also throw them at great lengths. Using its strong legs, the Karkinos can leap to impressive heights.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Karkinos in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When you are raising the juvenile forms of these, they only eat RAW meat. They will starve if you try to feed them cooked meat from feeding troughs.
When on a tame don't shoot at it otherwise it'll pick you instead.
Duel weild a couple mate boost high damage baryonyx on aggressive, super fun!
If you don’t really need him for fighting and just want him to carry your anky to farm metal then just claim a wild baby and farm metal with that then you can get a higher level later because you will have plenty of spare metal for a cannon or catapult
When u pick up velons and u put on agro and turret mode with high stam u basically got crab with miniguns
HAVE FUN WITH UR RAPID FIRE GUNS
Catapults don’t work atm on Asc. 1 shot with a canon drops high level.
The boulders in ark have very bad hit tracking. You can still tame the karkinos with it however you just have be very patient and have a lot of them. A snow owl is also highly recommended so you can heal your crab when it inevitably gets super low. A magnifying glass is also…
The boulders in ark have very bad hit tracking. You can still tame the karkinos with it however you just have be very patient and have a lot of them. A snow owl is also highly recommended so you can heal your crab when it inevitably gets super low. A magnifying glass is also essential to see if your hits are even doing torpor.
Always check its health because it can be surprisingly easy to kill them on accident. Let the death of my AMAZING crab learnt from.
I just got mine so basically make a stone dino gate way with door open and a large bear trap and lead into it and it will get stuck then place one stone dino gateway on its side then another one behind it make them close as possible and then make sure they all have reinforced…
I just got mine so basically make a stone dino gate way with door open and a large bear trap and lead into it and it will get stuck then place one stone dino gateway on its side then another one behind it make them close as possible and then make sure they all have reinforced doors then in between the gaps make a stone foundation and place a catapult and have your friend leading it in circles and hit it in its butt and eventually It will get bloody so make your friends or dino get eaten for karkinos to heal and then fire a boulder and it should get knocked out they like spoiled meat and their torpor takes while to drain
The Karkinos can NOT be picked up by a Quetzal. I tried 20 times on Valguero. It doesn't work. Either that or I'm doing something wrong

Hello survivor, if you are reading this that means you want to learn more about the karkinos and how to tame it! Welcome to the ARK taming and egg stealing guide for all ark creatures!
What you will need:
ok so this is kind of complicated because I don’t know the trap by heart just go to a captain fatdog tutorial on YT and you should get the trap, otherwise don’t bring tranqs bring a catapult and boulders, a 150 take about sixteen of them
How to tame:
The karkinos is kind like of like a rock elemental except you want to hit it in the back right on top of its shell because if you don’t it will take damage and not torpor. Once knocked out feed exceptional kibble or spoiled meat are the two best
Good job you now have your very own karkinos!!
Hope this was helpful
Good luck in your adventures

Note if the if it’s too low of a level knocking it out probably will kill it if it’s any lower than level 20 there’s a good chance you’re gonna kill it.
This thing can hold dodis so you can have to tribe mates in your claws auto harvesting stones as you walk around one your crab, this also keeps the team safe so happy harvesting ;)
Tame stego and put on aggressive then pick it up with a karkino enjoy your sword
Don't follow into the water, don't use tranqs and don't hit its legs with a catapult
Best method to knock it out but a little bit expensive for low level players is too Have 2 parasaurtheriums one with a ballista turret equipped with chain bolas and one with a trebuchet bring sweet vegetable cake in case of emergency. Get on one chain Bola the karkinos get on…
Best method to knock it out but a little bit expensive for low level players is too Have 2 parasaurtheriums one with a ballista turret equipped with chain bolas and one with a trebuchet bring sweet vegetable cake in case of emergency. Get on one chain Bola the karkinos get on the other move to the front of the karkinos with the trebuchet facing the front of the ,arkinos and fire you may have to bola it more then once if its a higher level good luck survivers!
Um just tell your dinosaurs to follow you and run if your an early player
If you are playing on valguero and happen to have a snow owl from a transfer or mod that allows snow owls. You can tame them the normal way but not have to hit the back every time. You can heal them with snow owls so they don’t die.
On PS4
If you tap the inventory key as fast as you can while airborn on your karkinos, it will glide almost forever.
Over long distances it'll almost be faster than a rock drake as it keeps on building up speed using this trick.
