Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a karkinos? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a karkinos.
Torpor on L1 = 800, +40 Torpor per Level.
1 Hit with the Catapult = 430 Torpor.
So that means:
- L 150 Topor:6.8K Hits: 16
- L 140 Topor:6.4K Hits: 15
- L 130 Topor:6.0K Hits: 14
- L 120 Topor:5.6K Hits: 13
- L 110 Topor:5.2K Hits: 13
- L 100 Topor:4.8K Hits: 12
and so on.. ;)

Many karkinos can be very hard to tame because they can have very low hp in comparison to torpor. If you play with awesome spyglass it makes this easier. If you don't you might need to try with multiple karkinos or be extremely accurate with your shots.
Ninth step feed the karkinos. This is fairly easy as almost nothing attacks a karkinos.
I had to take a lot of them in my many tries to get rock drake eggs.
First step is taming a paracetherium.
Second step is making a catapult turret and munition, platform saddle and place it all on the paracetherium.
Third step is taming a spino.
Fourth step is finding a karkinos and clearing the area with your spino.
Fifth step is placing 3 gates and a bear trap in the middle in this formation. |_| .
Sixth step is baiting the karkinos into the bear trap and puting a fourth gate down to form a cube.
Seventh step is walking the paracetherium to the trap. You want to be fairly close to it and if possible on slightly higher ground. If you have the trap close to the river this should be easy to accomplish.
Eighth shoot the karkinos with the catapult. You need to hit either it's back or the small head. If you hit one of the legs or claws no torpor will be applied. The karkinos will sometimes move a lot which can make this hard. What worked well for me was to shoot in in rapid fashion. (1/2
