Giganotosaurus Taming Calculator

Taming the Giganotosaurus requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 120/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Required Narcotics

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Giganotosaurus. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 120/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

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 Giganotosaurus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
