Variant
To tame the VR Allosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Torpor bleeds at 0.8/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.

Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the VR Allosaurus based on your settings.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the VR Allosaurus sedated throughout taming. 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. The VR Allosaurus bleeds 0.8 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
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.
The VR Allosaurus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Allosaurus has respectable melee power. Starting at 630 Health, it's quite durable. Stamina sits at 250 base, providing average stamina. A base Weight of 380 means a solid weight pool.
You'll need to knock the VR Allosaurus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the VR Allosaurus fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 26°C and 32°C. Killing a wild VR Allosaurus yields 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.53 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the VR Allosaurus across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the VR Allosaurus first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Quetzal to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 23m 5s
