R-Velonasaur Taming Calculator

To tame the R-Velonasaur, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Knockout Weapons

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the R-Velonasaur at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the R-Velonasaur first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Karkinos to airlift it into a pre-built trap.

Required Narcotics

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the R-Velonasaur. 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. At 0.1 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Starve & Torpor Timers

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your R-Velonasaur tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level R-Velonasaur: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
