Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Karkinos in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If he grabs u, throw a z semen blend grenade and it will let u fall, only chance to survive, if the crab grabs u. *no pun inteded*
One of the best turret soakers. In hardened plate mode with a high level you'll have no problem draining all your neighbors turret rounds before you kick the door down
Hey guys just realized that you can tame with a sling shot. But it takes a crap ton of rocks and you have to land every shot every time. But that’s how you get Heath crabs
Use a owl to heal it once you have hit it anywhere with a catapult. Hard work made simple.. catapult can be fixed or mobile on a platform saddle... 100% every time
on crystal i found this really good trap that uses three dino gates and some fence and it cant move the krab then i lured it in and had a catapult right in front of it easy rame
Shown spider
Cannons are so much easier the catuples use a cannon is a 1 shot
MAKE SURE and hit the crab in the top of its body, on the top of its back, anywhere else will kill it. Use a catapult and it should do an animation when hit in the sweet spot, pace your shots to about 10 seconds between each!
400 torp every boulder. (Use a magnifying glass to check his stats while youre trying). You need to be expecting a few misses because the hitbox on this is cancer. Seems like you cant let him drop beneath 1100-1200 health because he wont get angry and feed on you for health.…

He can fit through a behemoth
7 catapult took down a lvl 50, I'm gonna compile the data with my friends and I'll keep adding
You can pick something and keep training the thing
What is the torpor for the cannonball and boulder vs the crab?
Sadly they cannot be carried by a quetz as stated, unless ontop of a platform saddle. Just a heads up.
Grab an anky...mat gathering is a treat!
The lowest level I would recommend taming is a 90.they have a good weight and damage, and it doesn't take long for its health to get to 20,000. Then, if you want, you can usually get it's damage to about 300%
Lvl 10 took 2 boulders from catapult to KO
You can one shot it with a one time with a cannon no matter the level but will have crap effectiveness or shoot it several times with a catapult and have great effectiveness
Level 100 took 1 cannonball to drop
Can’t pickup anything bigger than a stego
