Variant
X-Triceratops Taming Calculator
Taming the X-Triceratops 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.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
 Simple Kibble | 20:28 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.8% | |
 Archelon Algae | 24:01 | 74 Lvl (224) 98.77% | |
 Crops | 1:36:01 | 62 Lvl (212) 83.32% | |
 Mejoberry | 1:35:52 | 55 Lvl (205) 73.77% | |
    Berries | 1:35:42 | 41 Lvl (191) 55.59% |
Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the X-Triceratops at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the X-Triceratops. 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-Triceratops tame in real time. 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-Triceratops, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It falls within the Variant classification.
With 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Triceratops has decent hitting power. Health-wise, the X-Triceratops sits at 364 base, making it decently sturdy. Its base Stamina of 150 gives it moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 365, giving it good carrying capacity.
Taming the X-Triceratops requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. For best results, use Simple Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the X-Triceratops is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 22°C and 28°C. Killing a wild X-Triceratops yields 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
