Karkinos are aggressive creatures in Ark Aberration, mostly wandering around the waters in large numbers. They drop very useful resources such as Chitin, Organic polymer, and Raw meat.
Once tamed, the Kakinos have many benefits such as it can perform many different tasks, can assist in combat due to their area control and sharp claws, and can act as an animal transporter as well.
The following guide highlights the location of Karkinos in Ark Aberration and provides detailed information on how to tame them.
How to Tame Karkinos?
To tame the Karkinos, you need to set up a behemoth gateway with several e-high stone pillars in front to block the front exit and a catapult facing the gateway. Once the trap is set, lure the Karkinos into the trap and close the gateway from behind.
The next thing is to knock the creature out using a catapult. Aim at the body of the creature not the arms or head.
Once the Karkinos is knocked out, put either spoiled meat or exceptional kibble to tame it.
