More about taming the Aberrant Araneo
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Araneo 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 Aberrant Araneo. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Aberrant Araneo first with Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Aberrant Araneo. 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.
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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Aberrant Araneo is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.
At 192 base HP, the Aberrant Araneo is not particularly tanky. Dealing 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Araneo brings decent hitting power to the table. With 150 base Stamina, the Aberrant Araneo has decent staying power. It carries 150 base Weight - average weight tolerance.
Taming the Aberrant Araneo requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. For best results, use Superior Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Aberrant Araneo earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 4°C and 12°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.04 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
