Allosaurus taming calculatorKnockout
To tame the Allosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.8/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

More about taming the Allosaurus
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Allosaurus 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 Allosaurus at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Allosaurus first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Quetzal to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Allosaurus 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 0.8/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Allosaurus tame in real time. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Allosaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the DMG category.
The Allosaurus has 630 base Health - quite durable. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Allosaurus has respectable melee power. Stamina sits at 250 base, providing average stamina. It carries 380 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
Taming the Allosaurus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Allosaurus is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 26°C and 32°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.53 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
