More about taming the X-Paraceratherium
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the X-Paraceratherium based on your settings.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the X-Paraceratherium 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 X-Paraceratherium first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Tusoteuthis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the X-Paraceratherium. 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. At 0.9 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your X-Paraceratherium 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 X-Paraceratherium is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
Melee starts at 105% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the X-Paraceratherium sits at 995 base, making it quite durable. Stamina sits at 300 base, providing average stamina. Weight capacity starts at 850, giving it an enormous weight pool.
The X-Paraceratherium is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the X-Paraceratherium combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. A wild X-Paraceratherium is worth 12 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.66 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
