This big guy is (in my opinion) one of the best utility mounts in the game. This is because when using hogs wrath whenever you attack a source of wood like a tree or driftwood its harvests charcoal. This has made making ammo for guns EXTREMELY helpful in my current save.

It's a standard knockout, yet you should be aware that higher levels are very strong.

I recommend to either bring a Pyromane or the best idea is to build a trap and lure it into the trap. As soon as Boaratos start firing, just get out of his fire attack radius and snipe it with darts from a distance.

Boaratos can easily kill you with its flame attack, so anything to extinguish yourself or avoid fire damage, is a good idea.

Very basic 3x3 1 height stone enclosure trap is enough to tame. Based on your server settings, bring a lot of narcotics as it seems torpor goes really quickly down, like Giga's does. If you let it attack multiple times before putting it into sleep, you can deplete a lot of his hunger and tame it quicker.

It's also a good idea to kill any nearby Boaratos you don't want to tame, as they are very aggressive and have really huge AoE range for fiery attack. It drops Beacon after killing it and it's being spawned on Therokis (the centered lava island on Astraeos map).
