To tame the X-Woolly Rhino, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.9/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the X-Woolly Rhino sedated throughout taming. 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. With Torpor draining at 0.9/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level X-Woolly Rhino: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the X-Woolly Rhino. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the X-Woolly Rhino first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Quetzal to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
