Revenant Taming Details
Revenant is a knockout tame. Its most effective taming food is Kibble (preferred).
Alternative foods: Species-appropriate food.
Taming Steps
1. Prepare your gear
Bring Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts, a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle, Narcotics or Narcoberries, and bug repellent.
2. Locate the creature
Find a wild Revenant on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
3. Knock it out
Revenant is a knockout tame. Use a Crossbow, Longneck Rifle with Tranq Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts. Aim for the head for bonus torpor and keep distance to avoid aggro damage.
4. Feed the right food
Place Kibble (preferred) in its inventory (alternatives: Species-appropriate food). Higher-tier food gives faster taming and higher level bonuses.
5. Maintain torpor
Watch the torpor bar. Feed Narcoberries or Narcotics to prevent it from waking up before the tame completes.
6. Claim & saddle
Once tamed, Revenant will follow your commands. It cannot be ridden.

Revenant — Background & Lore
The Revenant is a Lost Colony enemy in ASA: the reanimated remains of a survivor or 
Thrall, raised by Edmund 
Rockwell. Revenants are dangerous because they come in hordes, not because a single one is strong.
Where to find it
Revenants are very common on Lost Colony and gather in large numbers in the Aberrant Spread, sometimes with wild 
Gloons. They also turn up in outpost defense missions and during Gloon taming.
How to get one
Revenants cannot be tamed, ridden or bred, and they are immune to torpor.
Uses
Harvesting a body gives 
Spoiled Meat and 
Medium Animal Feces. The 
Alpha Hulking Revenant drops 
Alpha Zombie Brains.
Tips
- Variants: Skinny Revenants are weak, Bloated ones explode on death and can hit mounted riders, and Hulking ones have a lot of health.
- Counters: wide-area or knockback creatures such as the
Ossidon, 
Reaper or 
Therizinosaur keep the horde back. 
Shotguns and other ranged weapons work well.
