Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Mosasaurus at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Mosasaurus unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Mosasaurus bleeds 12.8 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Mosasaurus tame in real time. 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 Mosasaurus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It belongs to the Water category.
