Anglerfish Taming Calculator

To tame the Anglerfish, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 2.8/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Required Narcotics

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Anglerfish 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 2.8 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Starve & Torpor Timers

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Anglerfish tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Anglerfish: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
