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

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

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Pachy first with Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Pachy 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 Pachy bleeds 0.27 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Pachy is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Misc group.

With 100% base Melee Damage, the Pachy has solid damage output. Health-wise, the Pachy sits at 165 base, making it on the squishy side. Stamina sits at 150 base, providing moderate endurance. A base Weight of 150 means a reasonable inventory size.

Taming the Pachy requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. For best results, use Simple Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Pachy is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 24°C and 28°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.12 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
