Carbonemys
To tame the Carbonemys, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. The Carbonemys loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
Regular Kibble | 10:14 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.95% | |
Archelon Algae | 12:01 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.69% | |
Crops | 48:01 | 71 Lvl (221) 95.24% | |
Mejoberry | 48:10 | 68 Lvl (218) 91.81% | |
Berries | 48:00 | 62 Lvl (212) 83.32% |
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Carbonemys, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Carbonemys. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. At 0.1 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Carbonemys: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Carbonemys at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Carbonemys first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Procoptodon to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Carbonemys is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Soaker category.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the Carbonemys has decent hitting power. The Carbonemys has 700 base Health - impressively tough. With 200 base Stamina, the Carbonemys has average stamina. Weight capacity starts at 270, giving it good carrying capacity.
Taming the Carbonemys requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the Carbonemys is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 30°C and 34°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.64 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
