Terror Bird Taming Calculator

Taming the Terror Bird requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Torpor bleeds at 2.25/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 Terror Bird. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 2.25/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

Starve & Torpor Timers

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Terror Bird 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.
