What are tips for karkinos? Tips and strategies for karkinos in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
If u want to tame just build a 3×3 stone foundation ang put stone doordrame aroint the foundations exept for the entrace in whick the karkinos will come in and just put a large bear trao ang lure it in and after it will get caught in the vear trap and run around to out a stone dino gat ang badabing bada boom karki os traopes and the rest wll u know what to do catapalut recommended noc cannon
If you've already got a crab, get your to-be-tamed crab in a taming pen and use your tamed one to get it stuck in a corner, makes all future crabs a piece of cake!
Drops organic polymer grabs you and smashes you on ground
It's knocked out with cannon or catapult, DONT waste the arrows like I did..
I was happily walking along the shoreline, it was a warm and sunny day, and I was feeling good about my new raptor tame. Suddenly, my tribemate comes running out of the blue and then he gets smushed by giant Mr.Crabs. Please be careful, especially when around streams and water. Like mentioned earlier, they will SMUSH YOU WITH ONE SMACK OF THEIR CLAWS.

Even though it was a big difference
Fire cannonballs at its head. It's immune to radiation, gives polymer when killed and harvested. Throws dinos and can jump high. Pretty good tame
DONT USE CANNON BALLS!! They drop taming effectiveness down to 63% boulders are the way to go. Place three stone gateways in a box shape. Put a large bear tarp in the middle lure him to it. Put the other stone dinosaur gateway to close the trap. Place a catapult on a paracer platform saddle and only aim for the head. If it rotates in the trap just keep moving around on the paracer until you get some shots on him. A Max level takes 16 boulders to the head to get knocked out. If you do it right when it gets knocked out the taming effectiveness will be 100%
Then I told the police he grabbed me...
How are these omnivores?
(YOU NEED CHEAT COMMANDS AND IT ONLY WORKS ON ABBERATION) Note: IF YOU SUMMON A TAMED ALPHA/MEGA KARKINOS AND GRAB A DINO IT WILL MAKE THE DINO BIGGER THE MORE YOU GRAB AND THROW THE DINO OVER AND OVER WILL MAKE IT THE BIGGEST DINO IN THE GAME. good thing it doesn’t make the game that big.
To tame have a soaker on passive and have the karkanos aggro it and place the catapult behind it and be sure to bring plenty of stone and metal.
In the Crystal Isles, there's a large floating island with a massive river. There's at least six of them throughout that river. Get a couple high level aquatic or amphibious tames, I use a max level baryonix and Deinosuchus (modded), but a sarco might work. Don't just bring one creature, these things have no issues teaming up on their prey. Anyway, EXCELLENT resource for chitin and organic polymer, best I've found yet! Beware, though, you're not safe just because you're hovering over the water on a flyer, those things can JUMP!
If you are using a cannon it is one shot KO but dose look like 40% taming eff. Boulders for a lv 90 -150 is between 10-18
If you pick up a wild dino in the claw you can get off the crab and it will still be held. So you can grab something like a ravager and it will be chilling there while you make narcotics and such. Also for ravagers you can pick up the alpha without angering the others just don’t attack or it makes things harder.
