The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the X-Argentavis at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the X-Argentavis. 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 X-Argentavis. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). 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 X-Argentavis tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level X-Argentavis: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
