Taming Results
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the DodoRex, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Required Narcotics
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the DodoRex sedated throughout taming. 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. With Torpor draining at 0.73/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your DodoRex tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level DodoRex: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
