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

Grab two arthros with bobs on em and let em destroy any base you want.

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.

To escape there claw press and hold A ir simply press A it worked for me ps4 players use the green button idk what else I'm on xbox one try it it works bote its important

You can trap it inbetween two Dino gates then shoot it with a cannon, 1 ball works if you hit it in the top of the back

Get one of these upgrade speed and weight and get 2 doedics pick em up and they’ll gather stone easily

Theri and doed combo in its claws is a great combo for making stone structures if you got an inventory full of thatch

If you see these guys in the wild the aren’t as difficult to kill with a ledge and few arrows to the legs you’ll be set.

This huggry boy takes yellow kibble Exceptional kibble.

Using the cannon is better. Make a trap and get a markings in there to see where and how you can manipulate its direction,once u figured it out put the cannon at a safe place.build the trap a little higher makes it easier to aim.90-135 are a single cannon shot.

HOW TO KEEP IT ALIVE, draw a body to it while it attacks still. Magnifying glass is super helpful for this tame

To knock out, no exact number, but about 20 on 2x, (about 40 normal) for a 150 using a catapult.

See something small want to tame it Need THIS GUY

Trap it with 2 Dino gates and a behemoth gate and door and use fence foundations (all stone) to help you make a triangular shape for the trap. Then have it chase you into the trap and close the behemoth gate and knock out with a paracer w/ a catapult on one side of the platform saddle

When knocking out if it’s health gets to low and you can’t get it’s agro throw honey in front of it and a dead corpse so it will heal fast and then you can continue shooting it

So far the only way i have been able to knock it out is with a catapult

If you agro/kit a pracer to one it will kill the crab and you will get all the chitin that solved my Chitin/cementing past problem early on (they drop 300 Chiron) in aberation I am now taming a spino to get Chitin faster

Although you can knock out the crab with one hit using the cannon, you may loose about 40 percent taming efficiency. Recommend using a catapult with a trap to retain the levels.
