Taming the Beelzebufo requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.67/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Beelzebufo at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Beelzebufo 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 Beelzebufo bleeds 0.67 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Beelzebufo: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
The Beelzebufo, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. Classified under the Farmer group.
The Beelzebufo has 220 base Health - not particularly tanky. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Beelzebufo has solid damage output. With 190 base Stamina, the Beelzebufo has average stamina. A base Weight of 160 means average weight tolerance.
You'll need to knock the Beelzebufo unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the Beelzebufo is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between -75°C and 75°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.57 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Beelzebufo across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Beelzebufo first with Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
