Mega Mek taming calculatorKnockout

Taming the Mega Mek requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. The Mega Mek loses Torpor at 0.3 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

More about taming the Mega Mek

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Mega Mek across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Mega Mek first with Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Mega Mek unconscious through the full taming duration. 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. 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. 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.

The Mega Mek, a tamable creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the DMG group.

With 9,000 base Health, the Mega Mek is extraordinarily tanky. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Mega Mek brings solid damage output to the table. Its base Stamina of 1000 gives it outstanding staying power. It carries 9001 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.

Taming the Mega Mek requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor.

After taming, the Mega Mek is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
