R-Daeodon taming calculatorKnockout
Taming the R-Daeodon requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 1.8/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

More about taming the R-Daeodon
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the R-Daeodon 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 R-Daeodon at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the R-Daeodon first with Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the R-Daeodon 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 R-Daeodon bleeds 1.8 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. 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 R-Daeodon is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
The R-Daeodon has 873 base Health - quite durable. Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the R-Daeodon brings respectable melee power to the table. Stamina sits at 250 base, providing decent staying power. A base Weight of 400 means generous inventory space.
Taming the R-Daeodon requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the R-Daeodon earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
