To knock out a lvl 150,you need 17 boulders +/-. The maths are simple: boulder give 400 torpor to karkinos each good shot.
(torpor to lvl)/400 = number of boulder (round up)
Like so dododex will know now.
Karkinos
The Karkinos is a massive crab-like creature in Ark: Aberration that can grab and smash creatures and players. It can also throw them at great lengths. Using its strong legs, the Karkinos can leap to impressive heights.
How ARK players tame and knock out the Karkinos: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
Can you add what kibble it takes on both the animal profile and the kibble chart.
Don’t use old kibble on this it only goes up by .1% per kibble.
If available, use a quetz with a catapult. Makes it a pretty simple tame.
When trying to KO the krab and if you do too much damage from hitting the legs accidentally like me lol..put honey on the last spot of your hot bar and toss it at him for fast health recovery, faster than dragging corpse to it.. use a ballista , took about 12 boulders for me to…

Having a crab already makes getting more crabs easy. Make a trap, lure a crab into the trap with a parasaur. (Aggroing it on you will work, but it's not 100%, better to grab a parasaur or something like that) then get the wild crab stuck in one section of the trap so it…

(Body block with your own crab, it most likely won't even attack your crab)
Bam. Easy lure, easy body shots.
Use a catapult to KO a cannon lowers taming efficiency just dont hit the legs or face they take a lot of damage if you do
Hitting it in the body and head will do torpor damage in the claws and legs it wont do torpor damage
Keep an eye on health when trying to knock out with catapult. If it gets low, throw herbivores in trap to boost health and keep from dying. Works great!
Having your catapult at ground level is much easier than aiming from above. The boulder will land a little bit above where the counterweight rock at the end of the catapult.
I recommend building a trap and using a catapult because if you hit the crab on its pinchers or legs... bye bye karkinos!
Make four stone Dino gates and get a friend to lead it in to the trap then you go behind it and place the 4th Dino gate to trap it. Then get your other friend to agro it so he can shoot the catapult at its back. Put catapult 3 pillars high
You need to have a catapult,some pillars,stone gates, after that DONT shoot the catapult at the head, aim for the body after that feed it spoiled,fresh,fish meat
Keep your distance and DO NOT GET TOO CLOSE! The crab has the ability to grab a player and slam them into he ground repeatedly. The crab also has the ability to jump.
I believe the cannon deals more torpor than the catapult. Saw syntac drop a lvl 100 with 1 cannonball to the head
Very similar to rock elemental tame. Hit with catapult in the body to do torpor
YEAT YEAT YEAT is what this is called
If you mess up any boulder shots and it looks like it’s gonna die, use a snow owl to heal it then carry on, killed about 4 before I realised I could do that lol
This was super easy to tame on the back of a paracer platform with a friend and a catapult. Our settings are slightly modified but it only took approx. 10 boulders per tamed crab, with imperfect throws, and lots of dead crabs.
You can knockout one by shooting with catapult then feeding killed
