Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Riftcrawler based on your settings.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Riftcrawler at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Riftcrawler. 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 0.5 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Riftcrawler 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 Riftcrawler, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps.

With 600 base Stamina, the Riftcrawler has massive stamina reserves. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Riftcrawler has decent hitting power. Starting at 1,200 Health, it's a proper tank. It carries 800 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.

Taming the Riftcrawler requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Giant Bee Honey is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Riftcrawler has the carrying capacity to serve as a reliable transport mount for heavy loads. A wild Riftcrawler is worth 10 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.5 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
