Knock the Ice Elemental unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. The Ice Elemental loses Torpor at 0.33 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
Sulfur | 8:23:13 | 5 Lvl (155) 6.71% | |
Clay | 13:58:04 | 1 Lvl (151) 2.53% | |
Stone | 59:52:29 | 0 Lvl (150) 0.56% |
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Ice Elemental, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Ice Elemental 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 0.33/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.
The Ice Elemental is a tamable, minerals creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.
Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. At 25,000 base HP, the Ice Elemental is extraordinarily tanky. Stamina sits at 300 base, providing decent staying power. A base Weight of 660 means massive inventory space.
The Ice Elemental is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Sulfur for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Ice Elemental is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Defeating one in the wild grants 50 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.88 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 8h 23m 13s
Food to consume through starvation: 13825
Target food level: 7175
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Ice Elemental across various creature levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
