Boaratos Taming Calculator
Taming the Boaratos requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 100/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Boaratos at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Boaratos. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. At 100 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Starve & Torpor Timers
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Boaratos: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
The Boaratos, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the DMG classification.
Health-wise, the Boaratos sits at 1,050 base, making it quite durable. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Boaratos has decent hitting power. Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves. It carries 500 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.
You'll need to knock the Boaratos unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Extraordinary Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the Boaratos is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Killing a wild Boaratos yields 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
