The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Triceratops at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Aberrant Triceratops at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Aberrant Triceratops 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.
