BaldBudgie Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 https://ibb.co/bZK6HGhttps://ibb.co/jc9TWb Hope this can help you all. I visited an official server earlier and was amazed to see all those expensive huge ass behemoth karkinos traps. I'm one lazy sob myself, so i made this minimalistic trap with (at least for me) 100% success rate. I just aim in the middle of the trap and spam the fire button on the catapult. The best thing about is that you just kite it over the ramp and down the trap. No gates you need to close or anything. And when its tamed, you just equip a saddle and jump it out.

AnAncientOrder Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Looks like a good minimalistic design. As long as they line up correct that should work great. I'll set one up to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pillars opposite the ramp is 1 higher to stop the crab from walking over the gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proxis Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'd like to try this but I'm fairly new. Could you tell me what you used between the ramp and the pillars ? Foundation plus ceiling ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdligerAdler Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 You think that is lazy? Some people do it with only 3 dino gates and the turret placed on a cliff. I watched nooblets.com's video on karkino trap, and damn, that's one huge and expensive trap. No way I'm going to build that. Dude makes great videos but in that case I think he was a bit over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but 3 dino gates still allows the karkinos to move around and you to miss the shell in my experience. Yes I agree about Nooblets. His reaper trap is hella big too. But awesome!

Kraken Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Pah, you call that minimalist? Ramps? Six ceilings for your catapult tower? Unnecessary flash and gaudiness! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnecessary flash and gaudiness! ;-) Yes I called the trap minimalistic. You could build it near a cliff and put 1 foundation and a catapult on. You could probably get away with just 1 ceiling for the ramp and 1 row of ramps. Please show me your cheaper foolproof karkinos trap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please show me your cheaper foolproof karkinos trap Chill Winston, just joshing with you. personally I don't bother with ramps, just lead the crap into the 3x3 and plop a pillar in behind him, and I just have the one ceiling on top of my tower. Means I normally fall down when I dismount the catapult but I'm hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
