Fire cannonballs at its head. It's immune to radiation, gives polymer when killed and harvested. Throws dinos and can jump high. Pretty good tame

DONT USE CANNON BALLS!! They drop taming effectiveness down to 63% boulders are the way to go. Place three stone gateways in a box shape. Put a large bear tarp in the middle lure him to it. Put the other stone dinosaur gateway to close the trap. Place a catapult on a paracer…

To tame have a soaker on passive and have the karkanos aggro it and place the catapult behind it and be sure to bring plenty of stone and metal.

If you are using a cannon it is one shot KO but dose look like 40% taming eff. Boulders for a lv 90 -150 is between 10-18

A level 150 takes about 12-16 boulders straight to the face,hit the body or your sad krabbo friend will perish forever.

(Idk about cannonballs btw)

Welp, I’m going to tell you how I and I think you should tame a Karkinos using this hopefully simple method, to begin with, you can only knock out a Karkinos with a cannon or catapult, nothing else, And they are omnivores, they spawn on valguero, aberration, gen1, Crystal…

Don’t try and use a club. They will grab you then use you like drum sticks

Don’t forget to bring a magnifying glass to make sure the torpor stays above the hp other wise you have a decent chance of killing it if it was recently fighting sarco or dimetrodon

Make sure that you hit it's back if you hit it's legs it will die and trust me you feel like a idiot if you kill it

Use stone dinosaur gates to trap it next to a bank or cliff. Build a catapult on high ground and hit it in the body with boulders. Be careful not to hit it anywhere else as a couple misses will kill it before it downs.

Knocking it out with a cannon is easier, but will cost you 30 taming effectiveness. Choose wisely. Also, only aim for the head/torso. Hitting it's limbs will NOT induce torpor, and may kill it if you hit them too many times.

My "trap" for a 140 consisted of 3…

Everyone says you need a catapult or cannon, but you don’t. It gives the WORST taming effectiveness, but you can use a rocket launcher. Find a karkinos lv. 12 or higher. If it is not, lv. 12 or higher, a single rocket will kill it. After you find one lv. 12 or higher, take a…

If you do too much damage when trying to KO. Use honey on last spot of hot bar and toss at its face for speedy hp recovery.

Shoot from the front with a cannon, catapults don’t work anymore.

Yo if you tame a Karinos you basically shoot with a cannon or catapult, you knock it out, feed it, and it loves you forever, after you shoot it in the face with a giant metal ball or boulder 🥺
