Cosmo Taming Calculator
Cosmo is hand fed, but only when it says you may. It glows green when you can walk up and feed it, and red when you have to stand completely still. Move while it is red and it webs you and runs off. Plant Species Z Seed is worth eight times what Chitin is, so bring seeds. Any damage at all, from anything, wipes the whole attempt rather than costing you a round, and one of your own creatures wandering nearby counts as movement.
How this tame works
No knockoutBring 5 Plant Species Z Seed. About 4 seconds at level 150.
- Cosmo begs for Chitin before it will play. Hand some over within 120 seconds of the dance starting, or it wanders off and you begin again.
- Move while it is watching and you lose 50 progress and take 5 web balls to the face.
- The game runs for at most 3 minutes, so keep the pace up.
- One hit from anything ends the whole attempt, not just the round, and so does letting either timer run out. Clear the area before you start.

Starve & Torpor Timers
Use the feeding timer to know when the Cosmo will accept its next meal. No more guessing between feeds.
The Cosmo, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It belongs to the Shoulder Pet category.
Stamina sits at 100 base, providing tires quickly. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Cosmo brings decent hitting power to the table. With 115 base Health, the Cosmo is extremely fragile. A base Weight of 70 means not built for hauling.
After taming, the Cosmo earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 4°C and 12°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.05 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
