Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Tek Giganotosaurus at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Tek Giganotosaurus 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 120 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.
