Variant
Taming the X-Rock Elemental requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.33/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
Sulfur | 8:23:13 | 5 Lvl (155) 6.71% | |
Clay | 13:58:04 | 1 Lvl (151) 2.53% | |
Stone | 59:52:29 | 0 Lvl (150) 0.56% |
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the X-Rock Elemental at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the X-Rock Elemental. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.33/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
