Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a acrocanthosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a acrocanthosaurus.
The easiest way to tame them in my opinion is just to use a good deinosuchus
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
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
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 should use bio toxin and a really strong sniper or rifle and I would recommend using a trap
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.
Could you tame them with velos 🤔
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’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
Taming this thing is kind of easy or hard depending on your luck and what method you use.
What ur gonna need:
- Good dmging ranged weapon
- Narcotic or biotoxin (although I recommend biotoxin as it's more potent)
- Good set of flak
- A tame you can shoot off of (if you're free taming)
- Dino gates and large bear traps
- Raw Meat or Exceptional kibble
If you are using a trap to tame it, you just set it up like you are taming a giga and if you are using a tame then just kite around.
Steps to taming (this is with a trap but most of the steps will work with free taming too):
1. Locate the acro you want to tame
2. Set up the trap in a good location
3. Lure the acro into the trap
4. Shoot it until it goes into shield stance (stands kinda sideways)
5. Keep shooting whilst it's in that state
6. Once you've done enough dmg it will do a roaring animation at you, this is your chance to run in and feed it some narcotics/biotoxins
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until it knocks out
8. Put your taming food in it's inventory
9. Take your new friend for a spin!! :)
Use a prim shotgun it works wonders
