SIR-5rM8 Taming Calculator
Taming the SIR-5rM8 requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
 Basic Kibble | Infinity:NaN:NaN | -1668 Lvl (-1518) -2223.78% | |
 Archelon Algae | Infinity:NaN:NaN | -Infinity Lvl (-Infinity) -Infinity% | |
 Crops | Infinity:NaN:NaN | -Infinity Lvl (-Infinity) -Infinity% | |
 Mejoberry | Infinity:NaN:NaN | -Infinity Lvl (-Infinity) -Infinity% | |

Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the SIR-5rM8 at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the SIR-5rM8. 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 SIR-5rM8 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.
The SIR-5rM8, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It belongs to the Ignore category.
A base Weight of 500 means an enormous weight pool. The SIR-5rM8 has 10,000 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge.
You'll need to knock the SIR-5rM8 unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Basic Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the SIR-5rM8 serves as a living shield - ideal for drawing aggro in dangerous situations. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
