Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Aberrant Dire Bear, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Aberrant Dire Bear. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Dire Bear unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Aberrant Dire Bear bleeds 0.9 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
