Quick answer:<\/strong> To tame a Carbonemys in ARK Survival Ascended you knock it out with Tranq Arrows to the head and feed it Regular Kibble (its favorite) or, if you have none, Vegetables or berries. A level 150 Carbonemys needs 16 Regular Kibble and about 20 minutes at official 1x rates; on Tharyon, with 8x taming, 2 kibble and roughly 3 minutes are enough.<\/p>\n

The Carbonemys is a giant turtle: slow, but with a huge health pool and a shell that cancels most incoming damage. It is an easy early tame that works as a tank, a water mount and a steady source of medium eggs for kibble.<\/p>\n

How to tame a Carbonemys step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Prepare Regular Kibble or, if you cannot craft it yet, a good stack of Vegetables or Mejoberries.<\/li>\n
  2. Bring a bow or crossbow with Tranq Arrows. A Slingshot works early on, but it takes longer.<\/li>\n
  3. Always aim for the head: shots to the shell barely do anything, and the legs and tail reduce damage too.<\/li>\n
  4. If it fights back, just walk away: it is so slow that you can keep shooting while backing off.<\/li>\n
  5. Once it falls asleep, put only the food you want it to eat in its inventory and keep an eye on the torpor bar.<\/li>\n
  6. Protect it from predators until the tame finishes, especially if it is near water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These numbers come from ARK’s taming formula for a level 150 Carbonemys. The 1x column is the official rate and the 8x column is Tharyon’s rate. They are estimates: hitting the sleeping creature or a game patch can change them slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    A level 150 Carbonemys has about 2734 torpor. With the amounts in the table you usually do not need narcotics on Tharyon, but bring a few in case it takes longer than expected.<\/p>\n

    Where to find the Carbonemys in ARK Ascended<\/h2>\n

    It is a large turtle that stays close to water: riverbanks, lakes, swamps and beaches. It moves very slowly and leaves you alone unless provoked, so it is easy to approach and set up the tame.<\/p>\n
