Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a karkinos? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a karkinos.
I recommend just using a cannon, even though it may miss and decrease efficiency, it is a lot cheaper than using boulders.
Put kibble back no brontosaurus or giga on ab to make exceptional kibble. Fail wildcard
Knocking out takes 4-6 boulders with the catapult.
I KOed a 130 with 1 cannon ball to the shell
For knocking out you will need at least 65 boulders. I do not know the exact amount so that amount is all guess. And second always aim at their back because hitting the limbs will do massive damage and will possibly kill it. After it is knocked out you should load it with narcotics and carbo kibble, spoiled meat, or raw types of meat. Good luck!
Use a 3 by 3 and set up 3 ramps have a door and on the left and right of the ramps make the walls 2 high then across the ramps place the cannon/catapult on a roof then on the left and right of the cannon/catapult place walls and have at least 14/15 boulders or have 2/3 cannonballs
It has to be over 6500 to not kill anything lower will die
Mutton for tame, not Exceptional Kibble.Up Up for info/update
Make sure u hit it in the face I killed mine by accident because I missed his face 😂
Hit it in the stomach to knock it out faster!
Knocked out a 120 with one cannon ball
I highly recommend taming for soaking bullets in pvp. Why they take more damage if hit on the legs well because people who are reading this tip you can pick up stegos or trikes to soak the bullets for your karkinos so technically not a soaker but very officiant at makeing other creatures soak for you I guess. When your done soaking yeet the creature’s you were soaking with into there base and let them do some damage and distract them while you break in and destroy the base. And if you don’t believe me I only post true information about creature’s I have ether tested or seen in game or in a yt video. Warning they get bounced back if shot by tek turrets. Everyone watch rassclark I saw his video on tanky tames which helped supply some of the information to be more pacific it was the warning about the tek turrets so you should definitely subscribe to rassclark if you haven’t already. Hope this helps and see you in the next tip ;) - A.L.N.A
The karkinos is like a titanosaur but much weaker
I dare you to tame with raw fish meat.
I’m having trouble taming one I trap it with pillars and leave to make a catapult but when I come back he is somehow out
I used 1 canon on it 112 and didnt knock out and I hit its face and then again and it died u need to work on updation this stuff
Catapults no longer work on official must use cannons.
Superior Kibble tier after update!
They will only take torpor damage by headshots with a catapult (haven't tried cannon yet). It adds around 450 torpor but does 250 damage per hit. so if it's health gets low, drag a body or carcass next to it and it will eat it and heal it for a large amount of health, but it's torpor will remain the same. A magnifying glass helps with determining it's health and torpor levels, also it does an animation when hit in the head from what I have seen.
