VR Stegosaurus
VR Stegosaurus Taming Calculator
Taming the VR Stegosaurus requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. The VR Stegosaurus loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
 Regular Kibble | 40:56 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.8% | |
 Archelon Algae | 48:01 | 74 Lvl (224) 98.77% | |
 Crops | 3:11:25 | 62 Lvl (212) 83.37% | |
 Mejoberry | 3:11:16 | 55 Lvl (205) 73.83% | |
    Berries | 3:11:24 | 41 Lvl (191) 55.61% |
Taming Results
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the VR Stegosaurus, 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 VR Stegosaurus. 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. 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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the VR Stegosaurus is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.
The VR Stegosaurus has 650 base Health - quite durable. With 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Stegosaurus has decent hitting power. Stamina sits at 300 base, providing average stamina. A base Weight of 500 means massive inventory space.
Taming the VR Stegosaurus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the VR Stegosaurus fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 22°C and 28°C. Killing a wild VR Stegosaurus yields 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.29 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
