Sarco Taming Calculator

Knock the Sarco unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. Torpor bleeds at 0.1/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.

Required Narcotics

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Sarco. 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

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.
