ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
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!
More Karkinos Encountering Tips
Karkinos can perform a grab attack that will pull you off of almost any creature. However, they can only do this grab if they are standing in water. Even the slightest puddle of water will let them grab. For your own safety, donโt fight them while they are standing in water, unless you would like to be slammed into the floor repeatedly by a giant spider crab.
Iโd say Iโm having pretty bad day. So, I just bought Abberation and I was so excited, so I went over to the water. I donโt know much about Abberation, so I thought the Karkinos was just a kind little crab. Oh boy was I wrong.. I went closer to the water, as I was thirsty. But the Karkinos comes running up to me, picks me up and shreds me to pieces. Letโs just say I took a little break from Abberation 1 minute after I bought it.
It's a Giant crab that can throw it's enemies far away
They spawn in Genesis in several caves in the Lunar biome
Make sure to carry around grappling hooks
If picked you can graple the crab and it will let go
Available at floating island caves in Crystal Isles.
They're very rare in there so be patient
In the wild crabs and spinos are buddies... they use the buddy system...
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.

They can walk over spiked walls.
If you want to kill one use a Dino or a crossbow. Don't use guns because it Tales less damage from them! Thank me later!
