Boaratos is a large carnivore with a focus on damage dealing. It excels at harvesting a wide variety of resources while ridden, making it a versatile gatherer in combat and resource farming roles. Its signature ability to gather double yields from numerous resources sets it apart from other creatures. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across the map.

Taming a Boaratos requires a knockout method. Use a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it. Immobilize it first with a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to prevent escape. The best food is Extraordinary Kibble, which tames it fastest. Raw Mutton also works well if kibble is unavailable. The process takes about 7 minutes and requires approximately 37 Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
