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..

Whacky catapult of a crustacean. Throw your dinos throw your friends even your enemies!

How are these omnivores?

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

(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.

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...

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!

Pick up a stego with it then stand near a titanoboa/pulmonoscorpius congrats you got a free Stego no tranqs needed. When your done just pick up the titanoboa/scorpion and go to another stego. Works with anything from dodos to pachyrhinosaurus.

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.

Welp, I’m going to tell you how I and I think you should tame a Karkinos using this hopefully simple method, to begin with, you can only knock out a Karkinos with a cannon or catapult, nothing else, And they are omnivores, they spawn on valguero, aberration, gen1, Crystal isles, and gen 2, they eat spoiled meat, normal raw meat, raw fish meat, and basilosaurus exceptional kibble, now for the trap your going to need 3 stone pillars, 2 stone dino gateways, and one large bear trap, for my method I just go for the kibble, I would prefer taming a Karkinos with a catapult rather than a cannon mainly because the cannon takes away the taming effectiveness and has a chance to kill the Karkinos, catapults do not take away any taming effectiveness and have a lower chance of killing the Karkinos, and for the cannon method you will only need 1 cannon ball, for the catapult method about 12 boulders or more depending on the level, now, find a place that has a hill and a flat area, put a thatch platform on the small hill and put the catapult on there and load it, and then place 3 pillars in a way like this, one hugging the middle of the hill, and the two others lowered a little bit and far away (not too far away) from eachother, and then place the large bear trap inside of the pillars, find a Karkinos of your desire and then agro it, lure it to the large bear trap and once it’s stuck put two dinosaur gateways behind it, start knocking it out with the catapult, aim for the body and not the legs since if you hit the legs you will kill it, once it’s knocked out enter inside the trap and feed it whatever it likes to eat, after a bit you will have you own Karkinos! It’s saddle is unlocked at level 65, 🆙 if this helped you :>

I don’t see this a lot but if you pick something up, you can knock it out while the crab is holding it. I nicked out a Dodic this way and it worked pretty whell. If wou get one with high health you can probably use it to get a ravager or raptor.

Don’t try and use a club. They will grab you then use you like drum sticks

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

A level 150 takes about 12-16 boulders straight to the face,hit the body or your sad krabbo friend will perish forever.

(Idk about cannonballs btw)
