Triceratops Taming Calculator
The Triceratops is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. The Triceratops loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
 Simple Kibble | 10:14 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.95% | |
 Archelon Algae | 12:01 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.69% | |
 Crops | 48:01 | 71 Lvl (221) 95.24% | |
 Mejoberry | 48:10 | 68 Lvl (218) 91.81% | |
    Berries | 48:00 | 62 Lvl (212) 83.32% |
Taming Results
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Triceratops, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Triceratops. 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
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Triceratops: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
The Triceratops is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Soaker category.
With 150 base Stamina, the Triceratops has average stamina. Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Starting at 375 Health, it's decently sturdy. A base Weight of 365 means generous inventory space.
The Triceratops is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Simple Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Triceratops is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Triceratops is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
