Malwyn Taming Calculator
The Malwyn is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.5/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Malwyn at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Malwyn. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.5/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Malwyn as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the DMG category.
The Malwyn has 850 base Health - solidly tanky. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. With 350 base Stamina, the Malwyn has solid stamina reserves. It carries 425 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
To tame the Malwyn, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Raw Mutton - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Malwyn is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Defeating one in the wild grants 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.58 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
