Knockout Weapons

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Aberrant Dire Bear. 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 Dire Bear first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Procoptodon to airlift it into a pre-built trap.

Required Narcotics

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Dire Bear unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Aberrant Dire Bear bleeds 0.9 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
