More about taming the Maewing
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Maewing at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Maewing across various creature levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Maewing first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Quetzal can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Maewing. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Maewing as a tamable, omnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Breeding group.
Health-wise, the Maewing sits at 700 base, making it quite durable. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. Stamina sits at 450 base, providing solid stamina reserves. It carries 400 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
To tame the Maewing, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Basic Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the Maewing is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–26°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.31 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
