Knockout Weapons

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the R-Gasbags 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-Gasbags first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Procoptodon to airlift it into a pre-built trap.

Required Narcotics

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the R-Gasbags 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 R-Gasbags bleeds 0.1 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 R-Gasbags 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.
