More about taming the Solwyn
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Solwyn based on your settings.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Solwyn. 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 Solwyn first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Solwyn unconscious through the full taming duration. 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. At 0.5 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Solwyn as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the DMG classification.
Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. With 650 base Health, the Solwyn is solidly tanky. A base Weight of 375 means a solid weight pool.
To tame the Solwyn, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Raw Mutton for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Solwyn is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. A wild Solwyn is worth 6 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.58 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
