I find the pillar technique is the best. And it’s much cheaper than this

[@field8669]

Something I learnt, you don't need to hold the food while it eats it for the bar to go up. If you wanna tame it without a trap, you just have to drag the food as close as you can to it then drop it and run when it starts sniffing. I don't recommend this this though because it constantly attacks other creatures and sometimes tricks you into thinking it's after the food you dropped but it's really just after another dino.

[@Nutz2002]

pro tip right here!

[@aliciagrey4382]

I actually don’t tame them with a trap and instead kill everything in the area and make a pen for my cryosick diplos and then kill a baby Rex and walk up in full ghille and hand feed it. I’ve never died doing it that way. It’s even easier if you have a sanguine elixir.

[@mistere5857]

I dont think so. I tried this and it constantly ran after me or ignored me altogether leaving the dead dino on the ground.

[@SaltedEggSoap]

no it doesn’t trick you it does a short roar and will run much faster if its actually aggroed while it will sniff and slowly walk over if it wants the corpse

[@Zaid11328]

Something I learnt is that the bigger isn’t necessarily better as if u have a army of dilos to dodos it can prove much more effective than one bronto

[@Nutz2002]

very true, although it might take longer!

[@duckydictatertots]

​@@Nutz2002actually it only takes about 8 swarms of bugs to tame

[@alejandronero4368]

​@@pietmulli8321no, its numbers that count not big dino

[@gurgleblaster2282]

​@alejandronero4368 no because dinos attacks are AOE so if you throw 100 dilos at a Rex they all die in one hit. Rather certain dinos have an advantage for swarming. But this is not universal.

[@Nate-ld7zj]

You can also use the baby rexes after you feed it, put out a bunch and unclaim them, then kill them with the Carch

[@rsk3469]

Also worth mentioning that dinos like diplos are ideal as taking damage lowers taming effectiveness, a few hits wont do anything but after that you will start losing levels

[@okatori795]

It is way easier to tame without a trap because with one can be buggy at times in both games. Just use a Ghillie suit and feed the creature you’re using for step 1 directly.

[@kurokagator4567]

I found a 135 one in Ragnarok and I was so excited. You have no idea about the terror I felt walking up to it with a dead Ovis on my shoulder and see it sniffing, then walking towards me. I didn't manage to tame it, the taming percentage went down faster than I could gather corpses, and the corpses I started piling before feeding them to the Carcha weren't nearly enough before the entire plains was empty. A sad day. I'll get my Carcha soon enough, I'll just have to find a breeding pair of rexes first :)

[@lukasasberg9158]

Do the traps work on them now, i remember on small tribes, i trapped one, but after it got trapped, the ai got messed up. It didnt want to sniff at all

“Works 100% of the time.” Yeah right!

[@legendarygigan9855]

Yeah fr you said yeah right so it does work

[@gauzythrone]

The taming is based off of the health, not the drag weight, its a simple misunderstanding since drag weight is typically higher with the tankier dinos, use diplidocus's or brontos for the best effect

[@woae..]

i used 2 baby spinos and that was enough for it to trust me as well, rex, brontos and spinos, anything that weights a ton when adults works

[@stanziolad]

A lvl 50 one wiped me and my whole squad of 4 level 200+, Argis when I tried to kill it last night. Will be trying to tame tomorrow, wish me luck

[@roronoazoroelmejorespadach3489]

ok this might be too late but here's how someone that has been one month in ark does it consistently, I use baby diplo or baby spino wich are easier to tame as rexes for a early carcha, traps bug them so they sometimes don't ear when trapped, solution is too go out of render and if your lucky enough he will bug out of the trap and ruin your trap, so they way I do it is way easier, us a ghillie suit drag the Dino to him when not on rage let him get the sniff animation once he is going towards you drop the body and he will eat it, make sure that when you ride it you have food and water, you don't want to die of starvation due to cold, remember you might die once you tame him so make sure you have a flier at your base too

[@madilovesdragons1281]

I killed a wild adult trike, it works as well. You can use anything you can drag

[@alexithymia6288]

If anything, and I mean anything, does any sort of damage to the Carch while you're running around eating stuff with it, you will lose taming effectiveness. It'd be a good idea to queue up a bunch of rex, trike, or galli eggs to hatch for that part of the taming process.

[@slavsamulaattori998]

while riding the dino in the taming process, keep in mind that it is better to go for quantity over quality or just something that wont attack back as getting hit while riding it will reduce your taming effectivenes

[@peppapog8376]

So anyone know if this work still in ASA? I tried it with a level 50 carchar in Official Smalls and a trike only seemed to give it ~25% friendliness and it fell really quick, almost back down to 15% by the time I dragged the second corpse from 10 feet away

[@thecorrupted3217]

I have a question, since you tame it by killing stuff like after you ride it after breaking trap, will baby dinos work like what if i hatch some rexes or other dinos and kill them while riding it. Will that work?

[@asayai]

Tamed 2 on Fjordur recently but somehow they both managed to get out of the trap while it being fully secured. Lured the first one into a cliff then put a new trap on (which worked). Lured the 2nd to my Basilisk trap thingy on the volcano and built behemoth gates so it cant get away (Which also worked). But the must bs thing about the tame is the smelling mechanic because i can wait however long and it wont eat the trikes and stegos, yo i have to drag new ones over to that place with my lightning wyvern and start all over again

[@yofukashi7700]

What is the recommended weight upgrade to carry dead dinos. I’m planing to tame Trikes and use them as food.

[@Nutz2002]

the dino's carry weight doesn't change the taming speed! The drag weight changes it. Each dino comes with its own drag weight, so a trike might be 150, where a rex is 175, the higher that number the faster it will tame. You can find more in depth info on the ark wiki!

[@yancury6500]

''oh,carcharodontosaurus'' yay you did it

[@erkl8823]

When you say "drag" weight, what is that?

[@1495978707]

You have to do it 5 times for a 150 tho. So your trap needs to be broken down and set back up, and you're going to clesr all the dinos near the trap on your first run

[@fireirisdoesart]

Just to help anyone that gets the trap bug where it will either flee until freed or only attack the trap, if u just walk rlly far away and then drag it a dead rex baby and run for your life that works pretty much 100% of the time, at least for me tho the server I play on has higher taming rates

[@RPBz_]

"It works 100% of the time" Baron🍷🗿:CAP

[@reduxys4819]

Do you actually have to drag the dead Dinos to it, or do they just have to be killed by you? I don’t think my character can drag high weight creatures like a bronto lmao

[@23Raind]

You have to drag it. So, Rex babies are best, but if you don't have the stats for it, then you need to respect.

[@mickenziecruse9505]

Don't forget, try to fight things that don't fight back as any damage it takes lowers the taming bonus

[@haydenkim7381]

Honestly you don’t need a trap just strap on some gillie walk crouched with your baby red and it’s rideable. I also suggest bringing a sanguine potion so you can tame it on one ride.

[@Will.boneham5]

Do you need a saddle to bring to ride it? Obviously there is the saddle that you unlock at like 95 or 96 but for the taming process do you need it?

[@Tomatillo12]

Not for the taming process

[@BlankTheBoy]

@@Nutz2002 I see thank you I wasnt confident before but now I am

[@Just_Jolly]

If the the carcha kills a wild creature this means it will NOT eat any dragged food for 10 seconds after it killed the wild dino, it will try to kill you instead.

[@danielkephart7319]

Do Ovis Work better to feed them well mutton it's better tame giga and other big Dinos

[@Nutz2002]

no unlike other dino's the carchar's taming rate is based on drag weight. So basically the bigger the dino is, the faster it will tame.

[@JaquanJingle]

Or you can feed it a baby diplo aswell, anything with a high drag weight similar to that of a rex. Then just kill a bunch of brontos or a lot of dinos in a highly populated area that the carcharo can one shot

[@Jstylin2]

The last step, send our baby rexs and unclaim them so the charch can kill them. If you group them up its bassicly an instant tame

I tried taming these guys a couple times but they always glitched out inside the traps and wouldn't eat :(

Left out the part where they glitch and won't eat corpses and you have to leave and re-enter render distance over and over for 2 hours and watch the meter drop, unable to do anything.

[@Valentino83792]

[@Nutz2002]

oh that's tricky. You'd have to unclaim your dino then try to kill it.

Doesnt its tame progress go off of the max health if the dinos you kill with it? I was told to just have a bunch of high health diplos that are unclaimed and only on about 5% health to tame one. The 5% health let makes them fast to kill while their max health is one of the highest in the game so it tames uo real fast
