Dodo Taming Calculator

Knock the Dodo unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. Torpor bleeds at 0.1/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.

Required Narcotics

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the 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

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Dodo: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
