The X-Concavenator is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. The X-Concavenator loses Torpor at 1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the X-Concavenator, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the X-Concavenator unconscious through the full taming duration. 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. At 1 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
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.
The X-Concavenator is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.
Melee starts at 105% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. The X-Concavenator has 412 base Health - decently sturdy. With 350 base Stamina, the X-Concavenator has good endurance. It carries 325 base Weight - good carrying capacity.
The X-Concavenator is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the X-Concavenator is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 50°C–53°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the X-Concavenator across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the X-Concavenator first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Tusoteuthis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
