More about taming the Tek Stegosaurus
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Tek Stegosaurus based on your settings.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Tek Stegosaurus. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Tek Stegosaurus first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Quetzal to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Tek Stegosaurus 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 Tek Stegosaurus 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. 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.
