Just don't let up. After each feeding of narcotic or biotoxin. You can continue pumping damage into it. If the does the fake raor. Continue to shoot it while it does this. By the end of the fake roar it should do a real one. If you miss a feeding it will go into adrenaline stat. At which point it will NOT go to shield stance and you must wait for it to stop glowing red. I don't usually clear out wildlife as i use them to heal the Acro if I do mess up. Good luck and hope you get the best Acro's!
Awesome tame ,a little slow but it makes up for it with coolness!
I have seen it on island! Down from 50/50 there was like 6 there around that little pond oasis.
Biotoxin in your last slot. Goot shooter with good damage and ammo.
Find acro you want to tame. Clear the area of other wilds when its not aggroed shoot it untill it goes into stance/guard this means it walking towards you sideways slowly, a few more shots will make it roar. There are THREE roars only one you can feed on and its the roar where the acro throw it head up and back down qucikly and roars mouth wide open. Run and spawn interact, on playstaion its triangle PC 'E" if successful the acro will shake its head like it had a bad taste in its mouth. I run towards its tail ehich makes the acri turn to find ou giving you time to get some distance. Acro will still be in guard stance shoot it again untill you get a feed roar. Repeat untill it knocks out. BEWARE if you miss a feed it will rage and wont heal and trying ti shoot it back into guard will onky kill it. You need to lure it to a dead dino to eat and onky then can you continue the taming process. The low rumble roar with head low the acro will exit guard stance but you can shoot it back into guard stance after this roar.
Always spam interact when feeding narco/biotoxin as sometimes you can pick up stone or berries instead and miss a feed. Do not miss a feed. If you do give it time to kill somethine or you will kill it.
Shocking tranq darts don,t work
For me the most important thing taming these guys has been to have a large, open space. They seem to not enter the taming roar if they have to navigate around anything. Pick an open spot, but also clear trees and other blockers.
1000+ dura flak and capped shotty just run circles around it even with a wild 150, doesn’t inflict crazy damage.. Easy as
This is how I did mine. Works relatively well and simple. If you have an ice wyvern with low dmg and pumped stamina this can work:
1- make sure the surrounding area is isolated around the acro you wish to tame.
2- Stop a short distance from the acro within ice breath’s distance.
3- ice breath the acro repeatedly
4- acro will switch to defensive, then do the loud roar if it takes enough dmg (watchout for the low roar, it’s a bait roar)
5- while it does the load roar, run up the top of your ice wyvern’s neck to force-feed the acro narcotics (I used bio toxin)
6- repeat until it knocks out
Continue to watch your back so you don’t end up backing up against anything or any other animals that could possibly interfere with the process.
P.S.- as of it’s new release, trapping the acro does not work at the moment. It’s taming mechanic will not trigger if trapped.
Hope this helps!
Ice wyvern method did NOT work, rip lvl 145 acro
A level 145 takes 55 Biotoxin on 2x to knock if you feed every chance
I found one on extinction but no gigas and 1 carcha, I’m on day 86
No traps it won't roar near buildings or other survivors' buildings so tame it in the open away from other survivors' bases and use a soft but strong creature or weapon to hit it until it's bloody and what Until it roars then feed it if you miss it let it attack a creature to regain health and repeat the process carry light for quick getaways and stay alive as long as possible
The rhyniognatha can pick it up for the pvp people.
Yes you can find them on the Island. I found one while trudging through the swamps of all places.
Ok I saw a tip saying not too shoot it during its false roar. You absolutely SHOULD shoot it when it does the false roar because it will do the actual roar immediately after so you can feed it narcotic. Also don't use Primitive pump use mastercraft or Ascendant so you can put three to four shots in per roar. If you want a controlled space for taming download the Randi's animal trap mod and use the largest trap. Works wonders
Get a good stego and just fight it, when it roars just jump of toss drugs in its mouth and get back on the stego
Taming it I assume will be just like the mod, which is to damage it until it goes into a shield stance where you’ll need to damage it further till it roars, when it does force feed it narcotic/bio toxin and then rinse and repeat until it KO’s.
Do note that the Acro can fake the roar, it will perform a different animation with a different sound, so it is noticeable if you’re paying attention.
