Tips & Strategies
Normal creatures require “light torpor” to knock out and tame. But with the karkinos, astrocetus, rock golem and titanosaur require “raid torpor.” Raid torpor is dealt by cannons or catapults.

Tranq Arrows/Darts DO NOT WORK!!! To knock this out you need to use a catapult and shoot in only on it's back. If you shoot it on it's legs it will kill it.

Cannon balls discrease taming effeciency significantly! So for high tame level, always use boulders. Please let other people know! :)
When you are raising the juvenile forms of these, they only eat RAW meat. They will starve if you try to feed them cooked meat from feeding troughs.
THEY CAN BREED NOW GOOD LUCK ON MUTATIONS 👍
Pretty easy to tame. Trap it in a circular form of stone Dino gates, place catapult low if catapult is high the crab will die. Then shoot it with a catapult. Cannons insta kill the crab, do not use cannons
Whoever said these things breed lied.
ASA: Catapult dont works in offical Servers. User a Canon and shoot at the Back. Build a Trap and good luck.
Cannons do not lower efficiency, one hit knock out, catapults are broken on ASA.
Due to the new AI Findpathing It's very hard to trap him, I tame it with a Yi Ling with sap, Slowing it down and trap it between stone gates.
If you are missing with your catapult and it's dying, drag dino corpses to it and let the karkinos eat the corpses. It will heal him up a lot then try again with the same torpor you left off with.
