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 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…

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.
Use boulders on a catapult and aim for the back of its shell, this is where you will get the most torpor
Don't hit it on the legs or shoot it with a cannon, it will not knock it out: hitting the legs does almost no torpor and a cannon will instantly kill it
Use catapults to knock them out because cannons do to much damage and you will never get a perfect tame with a cannon
Can be fought by 3 main options:
Having at least 3 decently strong creatures so while it picks up 2 the third one will fight.
Have a mount that it can't pick up fight against it.
Shoot at it metal arrows to counter it's damage resistance from most projectiles.
A cannon KO’s a 150 with one shot, but make sure you only hit the center shell or else you only do damage and no torpor. A catapult works on low levels but it deals too much damage and not enough torpor for a high level, and a cannon kills very low levels instantly so use…

Has a massive throw that will help you to transport dinos and it can jump over behemoth dinogates(Good for rading)
