Required Narcotics

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Megalania sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The Megalania bleeds 3.6 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Starve & Torpor Timers

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.
