I use Managarmr to tame Acro. Use high health if not accustomed to taming this way. (Mine have 6k health and 2.3k dmg which is way too much) Use Ice breath in burst to know how much dmg you are doing. Tek binos make it easier. After the first initial feeding. The rest of the process is fast and simple. Ice breath til low health or until it roars. Rinse and repeat. Knock back doesn't effective mana as much

So far my tribemate and I have found the best way is an assault rifle and her playing tank and taking the dmg with an ascended riot sheikh while I shoot. Keeps her close for the bio toxin

i did mine by using my mastercraft fabricated pistol (preferably a sniper or pump works) my friend joined me and he held the bio toxin (narcs work too) and i shot it and it followe him then when it would roar after shield posing he would feed it, and now we have our female Acrocanthosaurus

If it don't have a clear walking path to you it will stop shield stance so my attempts at a trap have fail obstacles work for me

You can use a tame to tame the acro, recommend is rex or deino.

- Do NOT try to facetank it when taming, it no longer works.

- Avoid taming too close to sructures as it might not go into shield stance or won't roar.

- Also avoid taming in an environment with a lot of obstacles, if it gets stopped, trapped or slowed down by them then it tends to not go into stance.

- Clear area of wildlife and trees before initiating.

- Best approach is to keep out of its bite distance, if you are on foot, Focal Chilli and/or Battle Tartar is recommended to outpace the Acro, and Flak set is to survive the occasional bites.

Use a tanky, high drag weight tame to face tank the acro. The high drag weight means it won't get knocked back by the acros headbutt (I use Deinotheriums). Once the Acro is hot on your tame, dismount and shoot it with a powerful weapon, wait for it to adrenaline roar, and feed it a narcotic or bio toxin while it's doing it. You DO NOT have to aim for its mouth, so run up to its foot where the hit box is easier to hit.

Technically, you can also use your tank mount to damage the acro (or any mount) but it's riskier than just using weapons.

You can use tames instead of firearms to trigger the roar once they’re in shield mode. I recommend something that has a nice backing-up speed so you can bite without getting bitten.

Deinosuchus are what I prefer because they can’t be knocked back by an acro’s attacks or roar. They can be mounted again very quickly without requiring you to run far to the acro’s mouth. Only use the quick bite attack, not the giga bite (for fear of killing the acro). The damage should be dealt carefully, and you should be tracking the hits. Any other tame with these qualities will do well.

This can also be done quickly on a Pyromane, but be careful not to use the Pyro on the last round of dealing torpor. I’m not sure if the burn can mess up the taming effectiveness, but I didn’t want to find out. I use a firearm or pike to tigger the last roar in this case.

Good luck!! <3

Great for clearing spam and turrete inside caves because of the 6x damage.

Has anyone found one on the island yet? I'm hoping to get one of these absolute units so that I can do more effective meat runs.

Pre Tek suit, the easiest method is using a Managrmr. Just walk backwards and spam your breath until it roars. Then run up to it, jump off the mana, and feed it biotoxin. Manas speed, range, and freezing ability makes it super easy. You can escape quick if you miss a feed and the low breath damage makes it easy to see when the acro is getting too low so you don't accidentally kill it too.

You can’t use tek suit flying around its face. The taming system breaks.

I tame all of mines using an ice wyvern with about 2k stam and %370 mele. Works just fine. Kite it back don’t let it bite you. Takes about 4-5 ice breaths between roars. I have never encountered the false roar people talk about while using this method and I’ve tamed a good amount of acros so far.

If you can transfer a managarmr to the map youre taming this on, mana's ice breath worked great for getting it low enough to roar without killing it. I used this method on PVE and it saves you a lot of time and a lot of ammo. Simply just use the breath til it roars while keeping your distance, run up to it when it roars, feed it then hop back on and repeat.

Shoot it's balls untill it gets into Shield Stance wait until it roars then put biotoxin in its mouth have it in your last inventory slot then repeat until it knocks out and feed it normally be careful it might have its head halfway closed when's it roaring if you get close when it's mouth is like that it'll bite you ONLY approach if it's mouth is completely Open

You tame them like Yo lings

(Sort of)

Clear the area. Use a mana with low melee like 300% but good health, like 12k and a good saddle - free it with the breath, until it roars, hop off and give biotoxin - rinse and repeat till knocked.

Fly above them with tek suit, shoot with shorty or tek rifle, drop down feed bio toxic.. well easy !

Hover over it with a tek suit and shot it with a shotgun gun, once it roars and starts glowing red feed it bio toxin which needs to be in you 0 slot on your hot bar. Once unconscious feed it exceptional kibble.

If you're going to tame it, use bio toxin instead of narcotics—it's more effective. Also, it's preferable not to use stone, as the Acrocanthosaurus can break it quickly. Be careful with the roar bait—it can stun you for a few seconds if you don't recognize it
