Depends on level, but it took me about 30 to knock out a level 20ish one. But, thats letting the tranq effect affect it.

But remember, they are herbivores. So feed it the right stuff (berries/veggies).

well that happens if you don't read the wiki. there is the exact rate the dino loses torpor, the exact amount of narcotics you need and all the stuff... read and prepare before you try to tame something

I put tons of narcotics but Ark crashed so I couldn't feed it the narcotics in time.

Just use a taming calculator to figure out how much arrows/darts you need to use.

I second this. Dododex is a good one, and you can change the settings to match your server rates for taming and hatching.
always take a bit more than you need though, mistakes and accidents happen.

A level 5 takes 8 arrows from a crossbow, a level 15 takes about 13 or so. I tamed those exact levels so I can confirm the arrows needed.

But yeah, look up a taming calculator so you know exactly what you need before hand. They wake up every 5 to 7 minutes at level 5 to 7, so if you're playing on official rates you'll need several hundred narcotics for high level ones.

Also if you use narcoberries instead of narcotics, you can effectively keep the animal knocked out a little longer, as it takes twice as long for the animal to "buffer up" the torpor with narcoberries. Very useful for certain tames that have high torpor drop, like Galli.

For example my level 15 Therizinosaur dropped it's torpor from full to zero in about 7 minutes. If I fed it about ~150 berries at a time, they would take about 6 minutes to raise its torpor to full. So in essence i had 13 minutes before it would wake up, after refilling the berries. While Narcotics would only take 3 minutes to reach full torpor so it would sleep for about 10 minutes before waking up.

you could download dododex app on your phone/tablet and it has all the info there you'll ever need, you can even fine tune it depending on the quality of the weapon, and it also lists how much narco's is needed, and they even just added bio toxin as means of keeping your tameknocked out and the new shock darts

i want to ask, has anyone tested the actual numbers for kibble for theriz? i tamed like a 108 one and it took almost 50 mega kibble to tame, and that is on a 4x server, just want to verify if this is only me or not
