Yi Ling
Knock the Yi Ling unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. Torpor bleeds at 0.1/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.

Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Yi Ling based on your settings.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Yi Ling unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Yi Ling bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Yi Ling tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Yi Ling: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
The Yi Ling is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Wall Runner category.
Its base Stamina of 300 gives it moderate endurance. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. At 325 base HP, the Yi Ling is reasonably durable. It carries 140 base Weight - average weight tolerance.
The Yi Ling is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the Yi Ling is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 38°C–42°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Yi Ling at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Yi Ling first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
