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.

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.

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 :(

Shoot from the front with a cannon, catapults don’t work anymore.

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

Honesty it’s ability to carry is insane, you can dismount and it will still hold the creature you’re carrying, can carry two, can throw insanely far, and can even pick up stegos.

Make sure that you hit it's back if you hit it's legs it will die and trust me you feel like a idiot if you kill it

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.

Yo if you tame a Karinos you basically shoot with a cannon or catapult, you knock it out, feed it, and it loves you forever, after you shoot it in the face with a giant metal ball or boulder 🥺

Everyone says you need a catapult or cannon, but you don’t. It gives the WORST taming effectiveness, but you can use a rocket launcher. Find a karkinos lv. 12 or higher. If it is not, lv. 12 or higher, a single rocket will kill it. After you find one lv. 12 or higher, take a fast tame and agro the karkinos. Once angry it will follow you, move a small distance away, it will move toward you, showing it’s face, fire your rocket at its face. This will almost kill the karkinos, but it will deal lots of torpor. Now use your fast tame and kill something, get really close to the body. let the karkinos come to you and attack you but in the process of trying to hit you, it will hit the body. This will heal the karkinos completely, allowing you to repeat the process until it is knocked out, feed spoiled meat (as they like that the most) until tamed. Have fun with your new karkinos! 🦀
