VR Triceratops
Knock the VR Triceratops unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the VR Triceratops at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the VR Triceratops sedated throughout taming. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your VR Triceratops 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.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 20m 28s

The VR Triceratops is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.
Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. At 375 base HP, the VR Triceratops is moderately tough. Stamina sits at 150 base, providing moderate endurance. A base Weight of 365 means good carrying capacity.
The VR Triceratops is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the VR Triceratops is a versatile tame with a balanced stat spread, useful in a variety of roles. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–28°C temperature window. A wild VR 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.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the VR Triceratops. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the VR Triceratops first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Procoptodon can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
