Offer it 5 of your creatures. About 3 minutes at level 150.
No feedingWhat a possession is worth scales with how hard that creature is to tame itself, up to a cap. Anything needing 68,450 progress or more pays the full share; weaker ones pay less and you need more of them.
Creatures in this band: Brontosaurus, Titanosaur, Mosasaurus, Shastasaurus, Leedsichthys, Amargasaurus, Voidwyrm. All of them clear the threshold, so each one pays the full share.
How this tame works
- It only counts creatures that belong to a player tribe. Possessing something wild gives you nothing at all, and you cannot use the same creature twice.
- It inherits a share of how badly each victim was itself tamed, on every possession rather than only past the limit. Use your best-tamed creatures and the figure above holds; use poorly tamed ones and it will finish lower than shown.
- Each ride lasts 30s and a ride is capped however long it runs, so the rides alone come to 2:30. A creature it has just ridden refuses another for 40s, which is why they have to be different creatures.
- It never takes more than 20% from one creature, so 5 is the floor no matter how strong they are. Going past that starts costing effectiveness fast.

More about taming the Noglin
The Noglin, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Misc classification.
Its base Stamina of 100 gives it low stamina reserves. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Noglin brings solid damage output to the table. With 50 base Health, the Noglin is glass-cannon fragile. It carries 80 base Weight - very limited carrying capacity.
As a tame, the Noglin is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. A wild Noglin is worth 0.5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.07 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
