Use biotoxin instead of narcotics, its better

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

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

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

There is quite literally no point of using guns on this game if you have a good level pyromane. The burn damage enough allows it to go into adrenaline and if you bite it goes faster. You can also heal off it, and even when it knocks out for some reason it takes zero taming effectiveness hit (probably because it goes to 0 food and to prevent it from taking starve damage which lowers taming) and you can feed it anything at 100% effectiveness. I’ve tamed a 214 (145 wild) and a 210 (140 wild) both with pyromanes quite easily. And if it blasts you away and then roars you can dash back.

Most fun taming I’ve had in a long time.

If you can, take a shoulder pyro. You can on the fly shoulder and Unshoulder it to get away if you need too.

1.Ride the pyro to the Acro.. Switch it to shoulder when your close to the Acro (on ps5 you hold R1 and click R3 stick)

2.Shoot the Acro till it is goes intonsheildnstance and keep shooting till it roars and run in and narc it. 3.Unshoulder the pyro to ride away far enough to shoulder the pyro again, and reload the weap (good shotgun) start shooting it again. Try not to let the Acro have enough time to leave its shield stance so it will roar sooner.. Rinse and repeat. If you mess up the narc Unshoulder the pyro and hide till it cools off. Also be wary that same button to narc the acro to throw your pyro off so only press that button once.

I don’t think the torp timer is more than 2hr like it says. Seems more like 30 min to me

The best way is to use pyro because u can instantly tame it because of fire that drains food and also it’s very practical

Tried several ways, but my favorite is a plain ol’ shotgun. Max shotgun should only take 2-3 shots for it to roar, run up feed it, run past, turn around and shoot again. When it does it’s fake roar shoot once to bring health down as it finishes roar, then continue with same routine. Corrupted riot gear also helps a lot.

So to tame this beast you will need:

Pump Action Shotgun (with Ammo)

Metal Gates

Definitely Narcotics (Depends on the level)

Giant Bear Trap

And another Pump Action just in case the first one breaks

So you will need this tame: Mainly Argentavis or a tanky and fast tame that can fit through metal gates

Tutorial: You need to find a Acrocanthosaurus, These mainly spawn on the RedWood, (Center,Island,Astraeos) Carno Island, (Island) and the Dunes, (Scorched Earth and the Biodome in Extinction),

So to finally tame this beast you need to get the Argentavis and build the metal gates near the Acro, you have to get its aggro and lead it to the gates, trap it with the giant bear trap, and place the final metal gate to fully trap it, use the shotgun to shoot it until it goes into a pose, that is the protection or shield pose, you need it to go into that, you keep shooting it until it roars, run to its mouth, and feed it the Narcotics, repeat this until it knocks out. Now kill some dinos or get some Raw Meat, but definitely Prime Meat to feed it and there you go! You tamed my Favorite ARK Modded and Official Tame! The Acrocanthosaurus.

Use Tek rifle or good shotgun, careful when in shield stance. Need lots of element for Tek suit or can use desmo then quickly land to feed bio toxin. Will need lots of bio toxin.

You can trap acros in a 3 by 3 and 2 wall high drop in trap

Max cap shotgun takes 4 shots once in shield stance

You should use bio toxin and a really strong sniper or rifle and I would recommend using a trap

You’ll kill more of these “dinos’s” than actually tame then you get to a certain percentage of torpidity then you just deal damage instead of it actually raising in torp whichever dev added this was clearly high when thinking of a taming method….

Absolute dog awful way to tame a dino don’t waste your time you’ll just be wasting armour and ammo when it does the wrong roar then get attracted to other tames

Tips worth considering:

#1: Bring a friend or play spitscreen.

#2: ALWAYS use bio token, not narcotics. They work, but you'll be there for literal hours.

#3: Use any gun other than the long neck. An upgraded simple pistol will work.

#4: Bring a very tanky tame that you can shoot of the back of. Examples like the thyla.

And #5: When you finally get it down, make sure to have metal spikes on you. I lost a max level to a carno because I didn't have spickes. The metal spikes are worth the investment of materials.

I hope this is helpful to some of yall out there!

I would highly recommend a 298% pump action shotgun on high level Acros. Use Biotoxin, it’s not hard to get. Make at least 200+ shotgun ammo. Shoot it and make sure it’s in the shield stance while you’re shooting it. If there are no Dino’s nearby then kidnap some babies and keep them in a cryo. If you mess up and it gets on low hp, throw out a baby and let it eat it. Then recontinue. I would recommend to practice in a single player world with creative mode enabled. Good luck!

Could you tame them with velos 🤔
