More about taming the R-Carnotaurus
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the R-Carnotaurus based on your settings.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the R-Carnotaurus. 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 R-Carnotaurus 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 R-Carnotaurus. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.3/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
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.
The R-Carnotaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.
Melee starts at 105% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. With 407 base Health, the R-Carnotaurus is decently sturdy. Its base Stamina of 300 gives it decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 300, giving it good carrying capacity.
The R-Carnotaurus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the R-Carnotaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 26°C–32°C temperature window. A wild R-Carnotaurus is worth 18 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
