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…

Little tip if the game is deciding to not do torpor even tho your hitting it in the adomen then there’s this little trick called a command to tame it cause it’s honestly dumb how the hit boxes can f up the whole tame

we had a trap with a lvl 95 and had 15 catapult ammo and then we hit body shots and it died like ark fix the game

If you want to force tame it press the button near the esc then type code then if done tap enter and it’s force tamed also only works in single player PC

Note for Survival Evolved players: crabs still can’t be bred, even though Dododex and the ark wiki say otherwise. Thanks wildcard for never finishing that!

Will throwing boulders with ferox work to knock these out? Up if yes!

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.

I couldn’t get my catapult shots to count so I used tranq darts it worked ASA btw

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

So, I don't know how much this will help others, but personally a cart with a cannon on top did wonders for taming this oversized crab. If you line it up right you can do it in one hit. Hope this helps someone!
