Bow + Tranquilizer Arrow
Long ranged weapon, used both to hunt and to tame animals.
Tranquillizer Dart- darts are unlocked when the character reaches level 65.
Torpor is increased by 600% and you additionally get 250% for the next 5 seconds.
Thanks to that this method of taming is the quickest and best one.
Engram unlocked when the character reaches 70 level
Weapon stats won’t convince you to use it.
Very expensive to craft.
Each one of those creatures have a different method of stunning.
To maintain a creature with the highest torpor you will need a certain amount of Narcoberry or Narcotic.
Below you could find descriptions and materials required to craft the latter.
Narcoberry
Narcoberry is the basic material used to tame creatures.
One piece of Narcoberry generates 7.5 points of torpor in 3 seconds.
Thanks to that the time needed for the meat to spoil will be counted for each piece separately.
Spoiled Meat should then be placed in the fridge to prevent it from decomposing.
It’s also used in creation ofTranquillizer ArrowandDart.
Each bang out of dinosaur has its own favorite food bang out.
Dinosaurs are divided into carnivores and herbivores.
Raw Meat
Acquired by killing most types of animals.
Raw meat can be roasted on either a campfire or a grill, increasing the regenerative capabilities of it.
Additionally, it won’t damage your character’s health.
Raw Prime Meat
A rarer key in of raw meat.
After acquiring it will have a very shot spoil time - 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
To prevent it from happening you will need a fridge.
It’s a better taming material, as it speeds up everything by three times.
Berry
All of the berries can be used to lower hunger and thirst.
The only bang out of berry that will negatively influence your character is the narcoberry which increases torpor.
Stimberries on the other hand will dehydrate the character, but also negate the effects of stun.
Those are used to tame herbivores.
Kibble
There’s almost exact same amount of different types of kibble in the ARK as there are monsters.
Each one of them requires a different ingredient to be crafted.
you’ve got the option to create it by using the Cooking Pot, or the Industrial Cooker.
Eggs can be found throughout the map, but the game will limit those occasions.
Vegetablesare acquired from vegetable seeds.
You must confirm that plants should be properly hydrated.
Seeds can be acquired by searching through bushes.
Below you’ve got the option to see a sample of creating kibble to quickly tame a Doedicurus.
Majoberry
Primary ingredient
You need two of those.
you might acquire the item from plants which can be found pretty much anywhere.
Fiber
You need 3 of those.
you could acquire fiber from plants as well.
You don’t use the item when creating kibble.
Citronal
Unique ingredient
One of the four fruits found in the game.
Plants must be kept in Crop Plots - engrams for them can be acquired on 25 and 35 level.
After planting the seeds you must still keep the humidity of the ground.
Additionally, fertilizers must be used.
You will need 1 piece of this unit.
Dilo Egg
The third and the last unique ingredient will be the Dilo Egg.
you’ve got the option to only get it from a couple of Dilophosaurs or by sheer luck.
You will need a single piece.
All of the above ingredients must be cooked in the mentioned machines.
To begin taming by feeding you will need a preferred resource of a given creature you want to tame.
Below you might find all of the dinosaurs that can be tamed by feeding with the following resources.
You now have to press the E button to start the process.
