More about taming the X-Mosasaurus
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the X-Mosasaurus based on your settings.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the X-Mosasaurus at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the X-Mosasaurus 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 X-Mosasaurus bleeds 12.8 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your X-Mosasaurus tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level X-Mosasaurus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
The X-Mosasaurus is a tamable, aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves. Melee starts at 105% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. With 3,492 base Health, the X-Mosasaurus is an absolute bullet sponge. A base Weight of 1300 means excellent carrying capacity.
The X-Mosasaurus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Exceptional Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the X-Mosasaurus provides safe and efficient underwater traversal with good utility. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Defeating one in the wild grants 15 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.88 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
