Carcharodontosaurus Taming Calculator

Kill things and drag the corpses to a Carcharodontosaurus. Clear every wild carnivore nearby first, Argentavis above all, because anything that eats your offering first wastes it. You will know it accepted when it rears up, sniffs the air and walks over. Once its trust meter is full you can mount it, and from there the tame runs on Bloodrage, the buff it stacks by killing while you ride, so keep hunting. Leave it fifteen minutes and the stacks rot, and every stack you lose costs effectiveness as well as progress.

  • Keep it fed. After 15 minutes without a new stack it starts shedding 5 progress a second, and every stack you let lapse costs effectiveness. One corpse can be worth several stacks, so the count here is stacks rather than bodies.

The Carcharodontosaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the DMG category.

At 70,000 base HP, the Carcharodontosaurus is extraordinarily tanky. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. With 480 base Stamina, the Carcharodontosaurus has good endurance. It carries 650 base Weight - massive inventory space.

Once tamed, the Carcharodontosaurus pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 37°C–39°C temperature window. A wild Carcharodontosaurus is worth 750 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
