Carcharodontosaurus — Detailed Guide

The Carcharodontosaurus is a large endgame carnivore that grows stronger with every kill. Its Bloodrage mechanic makes it one of the best mounts for chained fights and boss support. It came to ASE in 2022 and is also part of ASA.

Where to find it

In ASE it spawns on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Extinction, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Genesis Part 2, Lost Island and Fjordur.

Taming

It is not knocked out. You build its trust by offering it fresh kills, then ride it and keep killing prey while mounted to fill the taming bar. Damage the Carcha takes lowers the final bonus levels. It bucks the rider off at intervals during the tame. The Carcharo Saddle unlocks at level 96.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 2 days 2 hours.
  • Temperature: 37 to 39 °C.
  • Growth: a baby takes about 10.2 days to mature at 1x.

Uses

  • Bloodrage: each kill adds stacks of melee damage and healing, up to 175% at full stacks. Kills also trigger a short frenzy with extra speed and stun immunity.
  • Roar: turns stacks into a speed buff for nearby allies.
  • Roles: world bosses, Orbital Supply Drop defense, Genesis 2 hexagon farming and Tek Cave runs.

Tips

Use one or two at a time. Several Carchas split the kills and gain Bloodrage more slowly.
