VR Lymantria
To tame the VR Lymantria, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. The VR Lymantria loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the VR Lymantria, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the VR Lymantria 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 Lymantria bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your VR Lymantria 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.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the VR Lymantria across various creature levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the VR Lymantria first with Bola or Chain Bola.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 42m 12s
