Narcoberry — Detailed Guide

A berry that raises Torpor

Narcoberry is a black berry in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, gathered by harvesting bushes, and it pushes up Torpor in whoever eats it. The game puts it this way: "This fairly common black berry makes you sleepy when you eat it. Bitter, but can be used to make black dye."

Effects on survivors and creatures

Every berry adds 7.5 Torpor over 3 seconds. Given to unconscious players or creatures, that keeps them out for longer, which the ARK Wiki highlights as a help during taming. A survivor who eats one regains 4.0 Food and takes the same 7.5 Torpor.

Spoiling and weight

Narcoberries spoil after 10 minutes. One weighs 0.1 and a stack holds 100, so a full stack weighs 10. The wiki considers Narcotic often more useful for taming than the berries, because Narcotic does not spoil.

Recipes that use Narcoberry

According to the wiki, the berries combine with Spoiled Meat in a Mortar and Pestle or a Chemistry Bench to make Narcotic, and several dyes need them too. Our recipe records differ between the two games:

ASE: 12 recipes, among them Narcotic (5 berries), Stimbull Juice (10) and dyes such as Black Coloring (15) and Slate Coloring (12).
ASA: 16 recipes, all of them dyes, for example Black Coloring (6), Slate Coloring (12), Wisp Coloring (6) and Royalty Coloring (4).
