Method

Special tame

This taming method isn't supported yet.

Steps

Find a Carcharodontosaurus and clear nearby threats.
Use large creature corpses as offerings (drag/bring the corpse close enough for it to eat).
Back away and let it eat the corpse; do not spook it while it is feeding.
Repeat offerings until you can safely approach and mount it.
While mounted, keep it calm by continuing the method (e.g. hunting / maintaining the required state).
When the tame completes, get it to a safe area and secure it.

Notes

This tame is highly situational; use the wiki link for the exact method and restrictions.
