Thought I would hate the taming method until I went and fought a max level with my bison. Just make sure your bison has ~10k health and 300% melee, fight it until it roars while making sure to feed it corpses or disposable tames when it’s low and you’ll have a easy time. (Extra note do not use the charge attack of the bison, the simple headbutt will suffice and if you mess up throw a disposable tame or simply run until it heals and calms down)

- 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.

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.

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

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

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.

You tame them like Yo lings

(Sort of)

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

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 !

This Dino is meant to bridge the gap between the rex and the carchar / giga, so it is going to be quite strong, I suggest the following items to make sure your taming process goes as smoothly as possible.

1.) Full ascendant flak (or anything stronger than flak) armor, the better armor rating the better (will protect you a decent amount if you get stunned off your mount by a microraptor)

2.) an agile creature with a decent health pool with the ability to shoot off the back of it while riding (I've heard trapping doesn't work with this creature)

3.) an ascendant 200+% damage pump shotgun (this creature is a knockout tame, but it requires damaging it heavily until it roars at you and glows red, then you can feed it a narcotics / biotoxin to knock it out)

4.) loads of biotoxin (try to bring atleast 300+ just to be safe)

5.) they spawn commonly in the redwoods, so be extremely weary of thylas and microraptors during the taming process. if you can, try to lead it away from the redwoods

anyways that's all for this tip, I hope it serves you well !^^

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.

Use biotoxin instead of narcotics, its better

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

For an ascended shotgun 200+ damage for high 145-150, 5 shots will do to bloody it.

Unfortunately on some servers the lag will require to wait for those shots to register with the acro. Because of this I used a tanky deinotherium(high drag weight), health pumped to about 40k with a solid saddle blueprint to eat the acros damage and keep its focus in passive.

Position yourself far enough behind the acro and shoot its rear. Once the required shots have been made, wait for it to leave shield stance and it will 99 percent always go into its adrenaline mode. Run up behind it and feed the bio toxin then step away. Rinse n repeat. This method also removes the fake roar it does.

If this seems too much I think some ppl are using the managarmr method.

Best way to tame it is with mana trust me

When it roars and stuns you, it is NOT in adrenaline mode. You can go back and keep damaging it

Taming :you have to shoot it with a sniper/pump shotgun/assault rifle preferably in a good quality so it doesn't break or bring more than one gun then shoot it until it does a weird walk you shoot it more then it will roar and you'll go to it's mouth and put narcotic in hotbar number 0 so you can feed it repeat until knocked out then feed it mutton

Tips :Bio toxin does double the torpor and if you're scared that it might die everytime you feed it the narcotic/biotoxin it fully heals you could also feed it a corpse and finally there's a fake roar you only feed it on the same roar it always does

Be careful with the bait roar—if it catches you, you’ll be stunned and the Acrocanthosaurus will enter rage mode. During this time, it won’t use its defensive stance, meaning you’ll have to wait before continuing the tame

The easiest way to tame them in my opinion is just to use a good deinosuchus
