Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Aberrant Dimorphodon, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Aberrant Dimorphodon. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.83/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Aberrant Dimorphodon at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Aberrant Dimorphodon first with Bola or Bear Trap.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 6m 7s
Food to consume through starvation: 550
Target food level: 2600
