More about taming the Tek Giganotosaurus
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Tek Giganotosaurus 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 Tek Giganotosaurus at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Tek Giganotosaurus first with Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Tek Giganotosaurus 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 120 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.
