Gallimimus
Knock the Gallimimus unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. The Gallimimus loses Torpor at 4.17 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Gallimimus, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Gallimimus 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 Gallimimus bleeds 4.17 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Gallimimus tame in real time. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Gallimimus across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Gallimimus first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Procoptodon can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Gallimimus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Scout group.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Starting at 150 Health, it's on the squishy side. Stamina sits at 300 base, providing decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 270, giving it a solid weight pool.
To tame the Gallimimus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Simple Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the Gallimimus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. Killing a wild Gallimimus yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.35 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
