If you see them bleeding while trying to tame them just heal them with a Snow Owl, they lose torpor slowly so its not a problem if you stop a bit so you can heal the Karkinos to not kill it.

So say if you come across one of these I will say get it if you want to knock it out I say use stone doors so you can get it in the cage and get out through the door to knock it out you have to use cannons and they are good for attacking and they are good to get to higher places butt they do move slow so put all the points in speed and attack so it won't be hard to kill and it be so slow.

Hey have you ever tried to tame Karkinos? Well then this tip is for you!

DO NOT USE TRANQ DARTS! Only cannon balls work. Like if thsi was helpful.

Up this tip if you think I should make a mod that lets you knock this out with arrows and darts.

Ignore all of the other people who are saying you can’t use Tranqs, you only need 500 tranq arrows.
