Taming the X-Argentavis requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Knockout Weapons

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the X-Argentavis. 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 X-Argentavis first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap.

Required Narcotics

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the X-Argentavis. 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

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your X-Argentavis tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level X-Argentavis: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
