Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the VR Velonasaur at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the VR Velonasaur 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 Velonasaur bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.
