Xiphactinus Taming Calculator

Knock the Xiphactinus unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 3.13/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Required Narcotics

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Xiphactinus sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The Xiphactinus bleeds 3.13 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Starve & Torpor Timers

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Xiphactinus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
