More about taming the Scrap Elemental

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

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Scrap Elemental. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Scrap Elemental unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.33 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

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.
