Karkinos Taming Calculator

The Karkinos is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. The Karkinos loses Torpor at 0.5 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Required Narcotics

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Karkinos 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 0.5/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 Karkinos tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Karkinos: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
