Tips & Strategies
If you got a bat make an elixir and put it in your last hotbar slot. When you throw the honey and he walks up to eat it. Walk up to ride it like you’re supposed to and you’ll see the elixir light up in the hotbar when you get close enough, drink it before you hop on and start riding to give yourself a nice 30% boost and less rides.
It gunna be OP. Mini gun saddle plus rampage = LET THERE BE CARNAGE!!!
You don’t actually need a ghillie suit; just make a break for the creature after throwing honey without it aggroing onto you

These things should drop prime meat when killed.
Wear gillie armor otherwise ur gonna die.
If you on a cluster then use a sino to fly away
It's a pretty easy to tame, I tamed mine on day one and all you have to do is throw down some honey back away then while it eats run up to it and start riding it then there will be arrows and you need to turn it the direction the arrow is pointing. There will be a red bar at the bottom and it will get bigger, you need to jump off before it's at full. Then repeat the process until it is tamed. I hope this was helpful.
To tame these early game, just spawn in Vardiland North. As you travel up the shore, you’ll find a shipwreck, you can get metal tools there. With a metal pick you can collect honey from the honey rocks with 200m of the shipwreck. You WILL be in andrewsarchus territory near the shipwreck. You will easily find andrewsarchus near the shipwreck too. Just throw honey, mount the little guy, and play the minigame. You can get a good andrew even if your level is sub 10. Good Luck!
Actually simple tames, if you tame in Asgard! I was going nuts, super annoyed taming on regular map, but saw a tip to tame in Asgard! All flat land, and tons of them spawn super quick. Get rid of the lower levels, and more spawn within minutes. Use ghillie!! You won’t be seen when you dismount. Use A & D keys (not arrows). Taming effectiveness only goes up when you’re pressing them during the mini game and the arrow lights up green. Jump off right BEFORE red rage bar fills fully. Took 2 honey and 2 rides for me to tame levels 143-165.
If you use cactus broth, you can tame it without killing off all other andrews in the area, and it won’t aggro if you get bucked.
✨The easiest and fastest way to tame an Andrew :)✨~ First, you must have honey in order to lure it, or else you will be unable to ride it. You can usually find some honey crops (they look like square stones with honey combs sticking out) around the area you’ll find an Andrew (they usually spawn around certain open fields, go to google to find some spawns) once you spot a Andrew, make sure you single one out, make sure there isn’t another one near by, or a deadly predator to close either, they could distract the Andrew and/or kill you. Once you have the opportunity, put honey in your hot bar and press whatever button you need to use it, the honey will be thrown decently far from you (MAKE SURE YOU'RE CROUCHED AND NOT TO CLOSE TO IT). If it is close enough then the Andrew will slowly walk towards it, once it’s head goes down to eat it sprint up to it and ride it like you would a tamed creature, two arrows will appear on your screen, when one lights up (it will look bright white), turn your joystick or press whatever button you must to turn it in that same direction. Keep a close eye on the RED bar under the other bar with the taming progress on it, once the line is close, leap off (if you don’t, it will kick you off and attack you) then, throw out more honey and repeat the process until it is tamed! (Tip: if you get kicked off and are chased off or die but are able to spawn close, go into your tame section in your inventory (it will be one of the boxes at the very top) and click on the Andrew you’re taming, it will track it and show you its stats tame-wise!) - DJ Fox
You don't need a full set of ghillie I did it with only 3 pieces and crouched
Have honey in your hotbar, crouch behind/ near it, use honey in hotbar to throw it, ride andrewsarchus, to steer use left analog stick or A and D for PC, lastly make sure to jump off before the taming bar gets fully red to prevent it kicking you off and aggro on to you. Goodluck!
Also how does it harvest silica pearls?
