Aberrant Araneo Taming Calculator
Taming the Aberrant Araneo requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
 Superior Kibble | 6:38 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.1% | |
 Spoiled Meat | 15:34 | 65 Lvl (215) 87.22% | |
 Raw Meat | 30:41 | 10 Lvl (160) 13.41% | |
 Raw Fish Meat | 38:16 | 1 Lvl (151) 2.43% |
Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Araneo at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Aberrant Araneo. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Starve & Torpor Timers
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
