Taming Results
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Grand Tortugar, 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 Grand Tortugar 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 0.1/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 Grand Tortugar tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Grand Tortugar: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Grand Tortugar as a tamable, omnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Soaker classification.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Health-wise, the Grand Tortugar sits at 1,050 base, making it solidly tanky. With 260 base Stamina, the Grand Tortugar has moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 2250, giving it excellent carrying capacity.
To tame the Grand Tortugar, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Giant Bee Honey for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Grand Tortugar pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 54°C–60°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.64 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
