ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
I understand that all the previous tips submitted were useful, but just in case it was not clear, hit the TOP OF THE CRAB, it will have a special animation if you hit it in the correct spot, and will take only a small amount of boulders to tame, even a high level. (Irrelevant with Cannons)
More Karkinos Taming & KO Tips
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.

Feed the babies spoiled meat... works great. Normally raw meat but these won't eat it, but spoiled meat did the trick for me
THEY CAN BREED NOW GOOD LUCK ON MUTATIONS π
Cannon balls discrease taming effeciency significantly! So for high tame level, always use boulders. Please let other people know! :)
You can net them. Trap isn't needed ;)
ASA: Catapult dont works in offical Servers. User a Canon and shoot at the Back. Build a Trap and good luck.
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
Cannons do not lower efficiency, one hit knock out, catapults are broken on ASA.
They sometimes have babies following them but mostly only seen in blue or red zones (Asa only)
Normal creatures require βlight torporβ to knock out and tame. But with the karkinos, astrocetus, rock golem and titanosaur require βraid torpor.β Raid torpor is dealt by cannons or catapults.
