Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Paraceratherium at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Paraceratherium 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 Paraceratherium bleeds 0.9 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Starve & Torpor Timers
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. 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.
