Mosasaurus taming calculatorKnockout

Taming the Mosasaurus requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 12.8/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

More about taming the Mosasaurus

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Mosasaurus 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 Mosasaurus at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Mosasaurus 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 Mosasaurus bleeds 12.8 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Mosasaurus tame in real time. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.

The Mosasaurus, a tamable, aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It belongs to the Water category.

Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Mosasaurus brings solid damage output to the table. At 3,600 base HP, the Mosasaurus is one of the toughest creatures in the game. With 400 base Stamina, the Mosasaurus has good endurance. A base Weight of 1300 means massive inventory space.

You'll need to knock the Mosasaurus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Mosasaurus is a versatile aquatic mount for underwater exploration and resource gathering. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Defeating one in the wild grants 15 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.88 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
