Aberrant Dodo Taming Calculator
To tame the Aberrant Dodo, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Torpor bleeds at 0.1/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.

Taming Results
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Dodo based on your settings.
Required Narcotics
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Dodo unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.1 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Starve & Torpor Timers
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.
