Hard knock out tame! Best food extraordinary kibble or spoiled meat. Shot it at the body not legs.
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.
Can be used to tame aggres-passive dinos (e.g arthropluera) more easily by grabbing them since it doesn't drop them when you dismount like argentavis.
When utilized correctly, they make for awesome small raiding parties. Use launch to throw gliders to the air.

so these things are easy to tame. It’s easiest to do in multiplayer but also is pretty easy in single player just requires more work. So in multiplayer how did it (in aberration) got my friend to agro onto him, so i could catapult it in the back of the shell (⚠️DONT DO IT ANYWHERE ELSE BUT THE BACK OF THE SHELL⚠️) and it knocked out fed it and boom. Now onto single player, So how i did it was get something that can tank A LOT of hits such as a carbonemys and place the catapult behind the karkinos and shoot it until it knocks out. and that’s about it!
This thing is hell to tame without nets.
Walking Turret:
1. Grab dino
You can use different Dinos for this:
- Dilo (Low DPS) (slower Speed and Bad Vision)(Low damage)
- Velona (High DPS) (Medium damage)
- arthropluera (Low DPS) (opponent Armor destruction) (Medium/High damage)
2. Put the Dino on turrets Mode and…

Crab and anky by far the best mining on abberation
Had more luck with the catapult but instead of spacing shots out just violently shot it with the boulders (body) until knocked out. Spacing it out resulted in dead Dino after 50 boulders. Spamming resulted in 16 boulders and knocked out.
It prefers Exceptional kibble, let everyone know till dododex updates
You can net them. Trap isn't needed ;)
If you intend on fighting a Karkinos with a creature that can not be picked up, make sure to never attack the Karkinos from the back of your mount. Ex, crossbow, rifle, etc. If you do the Karkinos will agro onto the player at witch point it can pluck you right off your mount.
Easy Tame. Used catapult and stone gates, though I had to use an owl a couple times. Very cheap like 320 metal for the whole thing.
Don’t make my mistake, make a catapult not a cannon to tame it.
If Mr. Krabs can pick up stegos, WHY CANT THEY PICK UP TRIKES!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Pick things up with this, and tranq them with rifle, u can do it while mounted, or, thing u want to tame in one claw, snake in the other. Boo yah! U are welcome.
If you want to knock it out with out trapping it have a parcer with a platform saddle it must have at least 2000 health to be safe place the cattpult at the back faceing the back also bring like 15 boulders to be safe and something that you could use to kill one if things get…
If you want to knock it out with out trapping it have a parcer with a platform saddle it must have at least 2000 health to be safe place the cattpult at the back faceing the back also bring like 15 boulders to be safe and something that you could use to kill one if things get out of control. Lastly you need to make sure there are no alphas nearby in the water because I have encountered a couple before.aim for the abdomen and good luck!
YOU CAN RIDE IT! AWWW YYYEEEAAAHHHHHH
When the crab gets low and another boulder might kill it, just hop back to your base and fetch some crappy babys or any other crappy dinos you might want to get rid of and chug them right in his face. Due to cryo sickness the crab will kill them quickly and it restores a ton of…
When the crab gets low and another boulder might kill it, just hop back to your base and fetch some crappy babys or any other crappy dinos you might want to get rid of and chug them right in his face. Due to cryo sickness the crab will kill them quickly and it restores a ton of health! I fed 10 to 15 bad megalosaurus babys to a 150 crab and healed it from under 1k to full 6k health in 1 minute. Just take off with a flyer so the crab actually aggros to the „food“
Don't listen to the guys who said easy kill with a bow as these take 1/10 damage from bullets and arrows not sure if that includes compound bows but that mean they take 10 from each auto turret bullet!
If you dont wanna put up with this guy running make a trap it's in YouTube I looked up how to trap a karkinos in ark go to the one that looks like an explorer note it worked for me
Don’t forget to take a break off the hame once in a while and eat healthy and drink water just a friendly reminder 😃
