More about taming the Tek Parasaur
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Tek Parasaur, 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 Tek Parasaur across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Tek Parasaur 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 Tek Parasaur sedated throughout taming. 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. With Torpor draining at 0.3/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Tek Parasaur 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 Tek Parasaur, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
Stamina sits at 450 base, providing respectable staying power. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Tek Parasaur brings respectable melee power to the table. Starting at 200 Health, it's on the squishy side. A base Weight of 480 means good carrying capacity.
You'll need to knock the Tek Parasaur unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Tek Parasaur earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 24°C and 28°C. Killing a wild Tek Parasaur yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
