How to Tame a Dinosaur
Creatures on the island can be tamed and used for various purposes. Uses for tamed animals include riding, item transportation, storage, hunting, harvesting, resource production, and defending property while you are offline. Items placed in a tamed creature's inventory usually take much longer to spoil than they would otherwise.
Knock-out Taming (KO)
1.First, render the creature unconscious. This can be achieved through the following methods: •Punching the creature with your bare hands. This is the most basic, albeit least effective, way to knock out dinos, and lowers your health. •Using a Slingshot, Wooden Club, Electric Prod, Bow/ Crossbow/ Compound Bow with Tranquilizer Arrow, Harpoon Launcher with Tranq Spear Bolts, or Longneck Rifle with Tranquilizer Dart or Shocking Tranquilizer Dart. Crossbows/Bows/Rifles with Higher damage will result in more Torpor per shot. The Crossbow and Harpoon Launcher can be used underwater. •Stinging the creature with a Scorpion •Head-butting the creature with a Pachy •Licking the creature with a Beelzebufo •Kicking the creature with an Equus or Unicorn •Shocking and biting the creature with an Electrophorus •Biting the creature with a Basilisk or Titanoboa •Punching the creature when unconscious can make its Torpor stay up, but you will lose taming effectiveness. 2.Once the creature is unconscious, open its inventory and feed it an appropriate food item by dragging food into its inventory and waiting for the creature to eat it. The food needed to tame it will vary based on the creature you are trying to tame. Keep plenty of food in the animal's inventory while taming; if the creature runs out of food, the taming bar will begin to go down until it gets more food. Force feeding them anything other than Narcoberries or Narcotic will fill their hunger but will not affect the taming bar, effectively making the tame take longer. •Every time the animal raises its head to eat, the Taming bar increases. Herbivores will eat Berries when their hunger falls 20 points (30 points for mejo berries) and Crops when it falls 40 points. Carnivores will eat Raw Prime Meat, Cooked Prime Meat, Raw Meat, Cooked Meat, Raw Fish Meat, Cooked Fish Meat, Raw Prime Fish Meat, Cooked Prime Fish Meat, Spoiled Meat or Cooked Meat Jerky when their hunger falls 50 points. All applicable creatures will eat Kibble when their hunger falls 80 points (for a few creatures it is 135, 120, 53.3, 25, or 20). For other food see the table in the section Taming Effectiveness. •If a creature's preferred food is in its inventory, they will wait for their hunger to decrease enough for them to eat it, even if other food is present. •Royal Griffin will only eat food in its inventory while unconscious if the survivor that knocked it out meets its requirement to be respected. 3.Keep the creature unconscious throughout the process. The Unconscious bar decreases with the creature's Torpor, and can be refilled with Narcoberries or Narcotic. Narcoberries will raise torpor by 8 points over 3 seconds, and Narcotic will raise it by 40 points over 16 seconds. It also stops the creature's fight against the torpor in this time, so torpor will not fall in addition to the raising. The creature will not voluntarily eat these items, and so they must be force fed by hitting the use-key (E, , ) in the creatures inventory when hovering over the item.
Non-Violent Taming (NV)
Most of the creatures below can be tamed non-violently. Diplodocus can be tamed with both methods. 1.Put the food you plan to feed to the creature in the far-right slot of your hotbar. •Araneo prefers Spoiled Meat over Raw Meat •Arthropluera prefers Broth of Enlightenment over Spoiled Meat and Raw Meat •Basilosaurus prefers Exceptional Kibble over Meat and Fish •Chalicotherium takes Beer (also Stimberries but with extremely low taming effectiveness) •Diplodocus prefers Regular Kibble over Crops and Berries •Dung Beetle prefers Feces over Spoiled Meat •Giant Bee prefers Simple Kibble over Rare Flower •Gigantopithecus prefers Regular Kibble over Berries •Ichthyosaurus prefers Simple Kibble over Meat and Fish •Lystrosaurus prefers Rare Flower over Crops and Berries •Manta takes AnglerGel •Mantis prefers Deathworm Horn over Woolly Rhino Horn •Mesopithecus prefers Basic Kibble over Berries •Moschops asks randomly for Tintoberry, Mejoberry, Giant Bee Honey, Organic Polymer, Rare Mushroom, Rare Flower, Raw Prime Meat, Cooked Prime Meat, Prime Meat Jerky, Raw Prime Fish Meat, Cooked Prime Fish Meat, or Cooked Lamb Chop •Onyc takes Meat and Fish •Otter takes Raw Fish Meat (on Mobile) •Vulture prefers Spoiled Meat over Raw Meat •Charge Light-specific dino ( Bulbdog, Shinehorn, Featherlight, Glowtail) prefers Plant Species Z Seed , but takes in their specific Mushroom. •Crystal Wyvern prefers Primal Crystal over Crystal •Sinomacrops takes Chitin over anything else. 2.Approach the creature and press the use key (default: E, , ) to feed it when prompted. •Lystrosaurus and Moschops are peaceful and not scared, you don't need to hide yourself. •The Ichthyosaurus is curious, it won’t run away. •For all other Ghillie Armor is recommended. •If touched during the taming process, Gigantopithecus and Manta will attack and Mesopithecus will run. •Diplodocus wants to play with you and shoves you around. •You need to have Bug Repellant applied to yourself to tame an Araneo, Arthropluera, or Onyc and can be helpful to tame the Dung Beetle and Manta, as these creatures are aggressive and will otherwise attack you on sight or on being touched. •Ichthyosaurus, Lystrosaurus and Moschops can be touched without penalty, and will not attack you under any circumstance. 1.Wait for the creature to become hungry enough up to roughly 90% of its hunger ex:36000-40000 to eat again. This can take varying amounts of time depending on the creature in question and the food you are feeding it. 2.Repeat this process until the taming bar is filled.
Turret Taming
For certain creatures, such as the Titanosaur, Rock Elemental, Karkinos and Astrocetus, tranquilizers are ineffective. In order to inflict torpor on them, you will need to do damage to their head using a turret weapon. Because turrets themselves are immobile, one may have to mount said turret upon a platform saddle, usually the Bronto Platform Saddle, Paracer Platform Saddle, or Quetz Platform Saddle, or utilizing Unassembled TEK Hover Skiff . The most efficient weapon is the Cannon, as it's torpor-to-damage ratio will be the highest. Although you can also use the Rocket Launcher on Rock Elemental, and the Catapult Turret on the Karkinos. Although related, Rubble Golem can't be tamed.
The taming effectiveness indicates the amount of bonus the creature gets once it is successfully tamed. It does not have any effect on the taming speed of the dinosaur. The initial taming effectiveness is 100%, and decreases whenever the creature eats the food left in its inventory or takes damage while unconscious. Taming effectiveness decay is reciprocal, meaning that the lower it is, the less it drops. Basically the formula is TE = 1 / ( 1 + [number of food eaten] + [damage taken]), with some additional weighting multipliers, depending on the species and kind of food. Feeding a creature their preferred food will not only tame them faster, but also reward you with a higher taming effectiveness percentage. Most creatures also have a preferred Kibble, which will be the fastest taming food while only slightly decreasing the taming effectiveness. (Side note: Efficiency is not a synonym for effectiveness. The efficiency (how economical a method is) is not taken into account for the taming effectiveness.)
••
•Dinos/Creatures spawn with a level of 5 to 150 in official, or different depending on the difficulty level of the server. The following dino/creatures are an exception: (Other levels applies like every other dino based on difficulty setting however.)
•Wyvern and Rock Drake - 5 to 190
•Specific event creatures like GachaClaus - 50 to 90
•All Corrupted Creatures - 1 to 500+ (If spawned from Orbital Supply Drop or Element Node , depending on difficulty.)
•All Tek Creatures - 20% higher level (6 to 180)
•All Titans - 1500 to 2350
•One Narcoberry will increase an animal's Torpor by 7.5. One Narcotic increases Torpor by 40. A Tranquilizer Arrow fired by an ordinary bow will increase Torpor by about 100 (dependent on the body region), but deals damage and decreases Taming Effectiveness.
•To feed Narcotics or Narcoberries, use the E, , . -> R2/RT not triangle/Y
•In an emergency, if you run out of Narcotics and Narcoberries, you can punch or Slingshot the animal in the head to keep it unconscious, or shoot it with a Tranquilizer Arrow. However, this will damage the creature, thereby reducing taming effectiveness and the amount bonus levels gained. It could also kill the creature if you aren't careful.
•Be sure they have food at all times. If they run out of food, their taming meter will fall rapidly until it reaches zero.
•An unconscious animal will remain unconscious until the Torpor reaches 0. If it wakes up, you will lose all taming progress, plus any items that were in the animal's inventory(If an unconscious tame is killed however it will drop an Item Cache with all the items you had on it when it died).
•Different animals lose Torpor at different rates (for example, a Spino loses Torpor very quickly) and because taming takes longer for higher levels, more Narcotics are needed.
These tables give an overview of the needed resources to tame the Dinosaurs and Creatures of ARK. The numbers in these tables are meant to give a first impression on the needed resources and to compare to other creatures and so are only for a level 30 creature, fed with the standard food (i.e. Mejoberry for Herbivores and Raw Meat for Carnivores). For the Tranq Arrow number it is assumed they hit the body, if there are no other annotations, using a Crossbow. Targeting the head is more effective for most creatures.
For additional info on the food and time needed for each creature, visit their individual pages, as the needed resources vary largely depend on the level and used food.
Note that the values are for optimal cases, always bring extra supplies!
For a level-dependent count of resources needed, try an external taming calculator.
Not all creatures can be tamed. Most creatures that are tamable through certain ways have the prefix "Wild" next to their name. Untamable wild creatures do not have such prefix.
The following creatures are currently not tamable except by use of the forcetame command.
•Alpha Creatures
•Ammonite
•Bosses ( Broodmother Lysrix, Dragon, Megapithecus, Manticore, Overseer, Rockwell, King Titan and Alpha King Titan)1
•Any creature spawned in by the bosses.
