Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the R-Thylacoleo at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the R-Thylacoleo sedated throughout taming. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. With Torpor draining at 1.85/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
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.
