1 shot from a cannon and it's lights out Mr Crabs

On PVE I noticed knocking out with cannon no longer effects the taming effectiveness, so if your are trying to tame make sure to use cannon

I have ran into these things before... If you find them I would RUN FASTER THAN YOUR TRIBE MATES

Z fruit is useful might just be luck but every time I've been grabbed and tossed a fruit I was dropped immediately by the wild ones

Hey guys, Mana here, Syntac has a good Karkinos trap, here is what you need:

-triangle foundations 3x (metal works best)

-door frames 4x (metal again)

-large bear trap 1x

-signboard (yes, metal)

-catapult

-boulders (depends on the karki’s level)

OPTIONAL (but recommended):

-pillars 1-3 (wood or above, stone recommended)

-ceiling; at least 1 (wood or above)

-ladders (however many pillars you brought)

To make the trap, you need to:

1: place a triangle foundation down

2: place the other two so they are in a trapezoid shape

3: place the doorframes so they are going out the longer side of the trapezoid

4: place the bear trap

5: place catapult

6: lure the karki into the trap (make sure you don’t get grabbed)

7: when the karki gets trapped, run behind it and place your metal signboard

8: make sure your hitting the karki on its shell (the spot behind its head) to do torpor, anywhere else will only do damage

If your missing a lot and its health is low (you can check with magnifying glass), kill a creature (don’t harvest it), drag it to the karki, and let it eat the corpse, this will heal it.

OPTIONAL STEPS (recommended):

Before you place catapult (does not affect steps 6 and 7):

1: place you pillars in a tower

2: place a ceiling on top (or more if needed)

3: place catapult on top

4: place ladders to get up

Reason why to do this:

If you tower up, if the karki moves or starts torpor running, it’s shell (the part you have to hit to do torpor) gets hard to hit, so with the height advantage, it is easier to hit.

That’s all, hopefully this will help anyone trying to take a karkinos. :)

teachers game too has a good video for a trap with metal triangle roofs that i use religiously on rag asa

Those guys are so good on aberration!! They make your life so much easier, gathering resources like stone, wood, metal and crystal is relly fast when combined with an Anky, roll rat...

They have pretty nice stats, with health, weight and stamina being really high!!

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.

It'll drop you if you log out.

If you are playing on asa breed two high levels and boom you have a poly farm

Feed the babies spoiled meat... works great. Normally raw meat but these won't eat it, but spoiled meat did the trick for me

This is a angry crab that you should not get near or it will rip your toes off and use your lungs as a doormat

You need more chitin and organic poly than you can use? Kill some and hit the bodies with a good chainsaw.

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.

I killed one with just a bow and movement speed back up shoot turn around and run a little turn and shoot easy way to kill plus lots of chitin and organic polymer easy just bring enough ammo

with the new DLC and the net gun i’ve found that you can net a crab and that will give you time to place a catapult and trap for it. or you can place a catapult lure it infront then net it, it should give you enough time to KO it

I find it a little dumb that they can’t break stone their a big ass crab for crying out loud they can break the toughest animals shells with one pinch

Best mount for getting rock drake eggs, can jump right next to the eggs.

Do you have a bp you need crafted? and not enough polyemr to make it, take a rock drake a chain saw and good shotgun, and head to abberation youll be makeing that bp in no time.

Best raider ever, a catapult a rex a prison and a parachute/glider launcher all in one
