Every number in this card is at official 1× rates, with the fastest food. Taming speed and food consumption multipliers change all of it, and most servers are not on official — the calculator at the top of this tab takes your rates, a Sanguine Elixir, and every other food this creature will eat.

Effectiveness is what decides the bonus levels: every unit of food eaten costs a slice of it, so the food that needs the fewest units finishes at the highest level. That is why kibble is worth the trouble — not that it is much faster, but that it is fewer feedings.

Torpor drains at 0.3 per second while it is unconscious, so on a long tame you will need Narcotic to keep it down. The calculator works out how much.

Taming Method

The Grand Tortugar is a simple knockout tame. Use a Longneck Rifle with Tranquilizer Darts or Shocking Tranquilizer Darts. Aim specifically for the head or soft underbelly. Avoid hitting the shell, as it has high damage resistance and will take significantly less torpor. You can also you can knock it out in the water or lure it to shore. Since it has no oxygen stat, it will not drown while unconscious.

For a safer taming method, you can use a simple 1x1 stone box trap or lure it into a small enclosure.
