Worked out from its stats

  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Carbonemys — Detailed Guide

The Carbonemys is a large, slow turtle with a shell that soaks up a lot of damage. It is an easy early tame and one of the first water-capable mounts many players get. Tribes also use it to absorb turret fire.

Where to find it

It lives near water on most maps in both games, including The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction and Genesis Part 1. In ASA it is notably common on Ragnarok and Lost Colony. In ASE it also spawns on Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Genesis Part 2 and Lost Island.

Taming

A knockout tame. In ASE it is listed as defensive and in ASA as passive, so it only fights back when attacked. Knock it out with a slingshot, clubs or tranquilizer arrows and feed it berries, crops or herbivore kibble. The saddle unlocks at level 10.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Temperature: 30 to 34 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 23 hours at 1x.

Uses

  • Tank: its shell reduces damage, so it can soak turrets and stand in front of a fight.
  • Water travel: a sturdy early mount for crossing water.
  • Drops: Raw Meat, Hide and Keratin.

Tips

It is very slow on land. Level health first if you plan to use it as a tank.
