Knock the X-parasaurus unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. The X-parasaurus loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the X-parasaurus. 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.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the X-parasaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.

Health-wise, the X-parasaurus sits at 194 base, making it on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it solid damage output. Its base Stamina of 450 gives it respectable staying power. It carries 480 base Weight - good carrying capacity.

To tame the X-parasaurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Basic Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the X-parasaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. Killing a wild X-parasaurus yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.

Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the X-parasaurus, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the X-parasaurus across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the X-parasaurus first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
