R-Brontosaurus Taming Calculator

Knock the R-Brontosaurus unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. The R-Brontosaurus loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Knockout Weapons

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the R-Brontosaurus across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the R-Brontosaurus first with Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap.

Required Narcotics

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the R-Brontosaurus. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

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.

The R-Brontosaurus is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.

Starting at 2,209 Health, it's a proper tank. Melee starts at 105% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Stamina sits at 240 base, providing moderate endurance. It carries 1600 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.

The R-Brontosaurus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the R-Brontosaurus pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 28°C–31°C temperature window.
