Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the X-Cryolophosaurus at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics

Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The X-Cryolophosaurus bleeds 6.25 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
