More about taming the R-Gasbags

Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the R-Gasbags, 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 R-Gasbags across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

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

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the R-Gasbags 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-Gasbags bleeds 0.3 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your R-Gasbags 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 R-Gasbags, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.

Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the R-Gasbags brings respectable melee power to the table. The R-Gasbags has 631 base Health - solidly tanky. Stamina sits at 600 base, providing outstanding staying power. Weight capacity starts at 3000, giving it excellent carrying capacity.

Taming the R-Gasbags 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-Gasbags is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.72 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
