Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • High health but modest damage — outlast it or kite while chipping it down.

Alpha Carnotaurus — Detailed Guide

The Alpha Carnotaurus is the alpha form of the Carno. It glows red, has much more health and damage than a normal Carno, and roams the same areas. It is killed for loot, not tamed.

Where to find it

  • ASA: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Genesis Part 1 and Lost Colony.
  • ASE: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction, Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and both Genesis maps.

How to get one

You cannot. Alpha Carnos are not tameable, rideable or breedable.

Uses

It drops the Alpha Carno Arm, plus Raw Prime Meat, Hide and Keratin.

Tips

Its red aura makes it easy to spot from a distance. Engage it with a strong mount or from a high position.
