More about taming the Pulmonoscorpius
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Pulmonoscorpius, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Pulmonoscorpius across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Pulmonoscorpius first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Pulmonoscorpius sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The Pulmonoscorpius bleeds 0.3 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Pulmonoscorpius: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Pulmonoscorpius as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Misc group.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Health-wise, the Pulmonoscorpius sits at 280 base, making it on the squishy side. Its base Stamina of 200 gives it decent staying power. It carries 200 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.
To tame the Pulmonoscorpius, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the Pulmonoscorpius earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 12°C–16°C temperature window. Killing a wild Pulmonoscorpius yields 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
