More about taming the Aberrant Parasaur
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Parasaur based on your settings.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Aberrant Parasaur at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Aberrant Parasaur first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Aberrant Parasaur 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 0.3/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. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Aberrant Parasaur: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Parasaur as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
Its base Stamina of 450 gives it respectable staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it respectable melee power. Starting at 192 Health, it's not particularly tanky. Weight capacity starts at 480, giving it generous inventory space.
To tame the Aberrant Parasaur, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Aberrant Parasaur earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Aberrant Parasaur is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
