Overview
The Carcharodontosaurus is a large carnivorous dinosaur with a role focused on dealing massive damage. It features a special passive taming method and excels in combat due to its high melee output and ability to damage structures. Players tame it for its powerful attacks and utility in offensive raids.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

More about taming the Carcharodontosaurus
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.
Taming a Carcharodontosaurus requires the special passive method. Begin by trapping the creature using a Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap, then provide dinosaur corpses for it to consume. As it eats, a trust meter appears. Once full, mount it and hunt other creatures to complete taming.
The process takes about 40 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Carcharodontosaurus has a strong vulnerability to spike walls, taking +400% damage. It also suffers +120% damage from instant damage sources and +55% from metal melee weapons. Explosions and certain ranged turrets are less effective, reducing incoming damage by 50%. Avoid spike wall defenses when attacking.
The head has a damage multiplier of 1.5x, making headshots effective for faster knockout. All other body zones take standard damage.
Can break Thatch, Wood, and Stone. Build at least in Metal.
