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.
You need to have a catapult,some pillars,stone gates, after that DONT shoot the catapult at the head, aim for the body after that feed it spoiled,fresh,fish meat
Keep your distance and DO NOT GET TOO CLOSE! The crab has the ability to grab a player and slam them into he ground repeatedly. The crab also has the ability to jump.
I believe the cannon deals more torpor than the catapult. Saw syntac drop a lvl 100 with 1 cannonball to the head
Very similar to rock elemental tame. Hit with catapult in the body to do torpor
How much health would a alpha 174 karkinos have.
In my opinion I think they should buff this creature it’s a amazing creature but I would love if you could make it
So where you can breed them and make it to be able to carry more creatures for example it can carry a stegosaurus but Can’t carry Argentavis. It’s…

So where you can breed them and make it to be able to carry more creatures for example it can carry a stegosaurus but Can’t carry Argentavis. It’s probably because of the hit boxes but still doesn’t make much sense. It’s an amazing creature but I feel like (Wild card The developer of ark by the way) should give this creature The attention it needs.
YEAT YEAT YEAT is what this is called
If you mess up any boulder shots and it looks like it’s gonna die, use a snow owl to heal it then carry on, killed about 4 before I realised I could do that lol
This was super easy to tame on the back of a paracer platform with a friend and a catapult. Our settings are slightly modified but it only took approx. 10 boulders per tamed crab, with imperfect throws, and lots of dead crabs.
This is a magnificent crab that can help you during metal runs, he can literally throw overweighted creature so far!
Very good utility tame. Can carry two dinos at a time. They can also carry the tames even when you aren’t riding them and have them set to follow. I used them for metal gathering with ankys,.
You can knockout one by shooting with catapult then feeding killed
I advise against putting traps in sarco heavy areas. The crabs won't have enough health to be knocked out.
have this thing duel wield velonasaurs and watch the massacre
For metal get a anky ride one fill the Wight and pick up with a crab 1 got about 10 stacks of metal
Finally tamed, tried all different traps but main thing is to let the crab eat you if its health is too low and come back to pounce on him again. You wont lose too much torpor and he will get about 30% of its health
need metal on abb but your anky is to slow pick it up with a crab and take it where the metal is rich
Do not I reapeat not use anything that shoots projectiles enless it's a cattapult , ballasts ect. It takes 10% damage from those I'm not sure about bows and cross bows.
As it's a good all around dino except for the speed it's still possible to be torn off it's back by a raptor.
