How to survive, fight, and kill a wild Karkinos, from players who have done it.
I’d say I’m having pretty bad day. So, I just bought Abberation and I was so excited, so I went over to the water. I don’t know much about Abberation, so I thought the Karkinos was just a kind little crab. Oh boy was I wrong.. I went closer to the water, as I was thirsty.…

I don’t know much about Abberation, so I thought the Karkinos was just a kind little crab. Oh boy was I wrong.. I went closer to the water, as I was thirsty. But the Karkinos comes running up to me, picks me up and shreds me to pieces. Let’s just say I took a little break from Abberation 1 minute after I bought it.
ALPHA Karkinos can GRAB and DISMOUNT you off of a ROCK DRAKE.
They spawn in Genesis in several caves in the Lunar biome
Make sure to carry around grappling hooks
If picked you can graple the crab and it will let go
In the wild crabs and spinos are buddies... they use the buddy system...
On ragnarok there is a secret under water cave with karkinkos high levels I tamed a level 190
They can walk over spiked walls.
Karkinos do NOT spawn on Ark Ultimate Mobile Edition Ragnarok map. They only spawn on Mobile Aberration.
If you want to kill one use a Dino or a crossbow. Don't use guns because it Tales less damage from them! Thank me later!
Available at floating island caves in Crystal Isles.
They're very rare in there so be patient
I know they’re crabs but my arachnophobia says otherwise
Alpha version can damage stone. Everything is lost.
Karkinos can perform a grab attack that will pull you off of almost any creature. However, they can only do this grab if they are standing in water. Even the slightest puddle of water will let them grab. For your own safety, don’t fight them while they are standing in water…

Will rip you off tame I repeat TAKE YOU PFF YOUR TAME AND KILL YOU EASY
If they are in water the can crab you, which leads to a certain death. Not so dangerous on land. (Pun intended)
Has a slow reaction time and you can usually avoid it attacking you by running under its legs.This might change in later patches
I should have known u can’t tame Alpha Karkinos… my mistake😂😂😂 I spawned it with admin commands and it cooked me DID YOU KNOW IT CAN GRAB YOU??? Nah
Kill and use chainsaw for organic polymer or even better use a moschops spec’d into organic farm to really increase that organic poly farm easily
They often spawn near the lake by the portal in aberration so if your looking for one be careful and don’t swim to deep!
