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

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Homarus 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 Homarus sedated throughout taming. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. With Torpor draining at 0.5/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.

The Homarus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps.

At 1,200 base HP, the Homarus is among the tougher creatures. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Homarus brings respectable melee power to the table. Its base Stamina of 600 gives it exceptional endurance. A base Weight of 800 means massive inventory space.

You'll need to knock the Homarus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Exceptional Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Homarus is best used as a pack animal, hauling large amounts of resources between locations. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between -75°C and 75°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.5 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
