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

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)

Turret velos can become guns, get 2 high levels and a good crab and go ham

Don’t forget to bring a magnifying glass to make sure the torpor stays above the hp other wise you have a decent chance of killing it if it was recently fighting sarco or dimetrodon

On fjordur these can be found on the abberation cave near balheimr they need catapult turrets to tame these things are walking taming pens on pc they pick creatures using right or left click respecting each hands by c they'll throw the creatures they can jump super long but they are not fall damage resistant they will take damage.up of you found this helpfull.

Knocking it out with a cannon is easier, but will cost you 30 taming effectiveness. Choose wisely. Also, only aim for the head/torso. Hitting it's limbs will NOT induce torpor, and may kill it if you hit them too many times.

My "trap" for a 140 consisted of 3 large bear traps, me running for my life, and a stone foundation with a cannon on it in front of them. Then I just adjusted it and it knocked on the first hit.

Chain Bolas and Nets can also immobilise Karkinos. You can also use catapults to knock it out. If you don't have any kibble, you can give it spoiled meat.

Can harvest with chain saw for poly just tame a low level cloner or kill wilds but as far in know chainsaw best tool

Karkinos is also great at defense, is someone is trying to soak your turrets with stegos or turtles you can toss them away and win a lot of time while the atackers have to go take their tames back. Especially if near a ledge or cliff

You will encounter this in the floating Islands on the north eastern corner be careful they will tear you off your mounts

In my experience the karkinos is good for raiding bases and gathering resources.

Tip: Remember when fighting these things, they can pick you off a rockdrake :(

Walking harvesting tank. Dual wield doedics and auto harvest stone or have friends on them to really load them or an anky up

My friends and I tamed one and I then tamed an anky. Boom tons of metal, I just picked him and the anky up with the crab and then he would harvest the metal nodes

Use stone dinosaur gates to trap it next to a bank or cliff. Build a catapult on high ground and hit it in the body with boulders. Be careful not to hit it anywhere else as a couple misses will kill it before it downs.

Basically immune to status effects like pachy gas and dilo spit since they won't use their ability when picked up

Also drops chitin and organic polymer.

Aim for his butt with bolders. Also, be carful or you’ll end up dying if you Don’t have backup
