What are tips for andrewsarchus? Tips and strategies for andrewsarchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When using Andrewsarchus under water, be careful as most aquatic life can still catch up to you. Eels still stun, but won't dismount you. A must have for water exploration and general mobility mount that isn't outright overpowered or under appreciated. Not to hard to tame, and easy to use. Perfect for large maps!
I love these guys and they are good for fighting
Carry honey on fishing rods as it will have no timer . Also carry glow sticks painted white, handy for taming that special 150 in the dark. Keep a desmo in the first slot of hot bar to make quick getaway, make sure its on passive first.
Get too close and it will try to scare you off and it will attack. If you stick around after that and are under prepared, I would find just where you want to put your casket.
When taming watch the red bar, hop off just before the bar fills up, back away from it while crouched and throw more honey. Rinse and repeat!
When going to near these creatures, make sure to be careful since these guys are neutral and will attack if you’re close to its proximity. Although I recommend building a cage or bring a tame with as a back up plan.
How do I gather pearls with it on ps5
Wear gillie armor otherwise ur gonna die.
It’s a passive tame you can tame it at level 1 all you need is a pick to harvest honey and then find one you want to tame and then throw the honey in your hot bar not your inventory because it will not work once you do that it will start walking to the honey and once it starts eating it SPRINT TOWARDS THE CREATURE and then hop on it but then you need to follow these arrows and if kicks you off SPRINT AWAY FROM IT and once it’s like “ight dude I forgot you” run back and repeat the process and BOOM you have a big doge
You don’t actually need a ghillie suit; just make a break for the creature after throwing honey without it aggroing onto you

High level is worth it, Hop on, steer, no less than ten minutes. Kill everything dangerous around first as well.
Hello fellow survivors! If your finding trouble on Fjordur, then these guys are a blessing. They don't require a saddle to ride, so you can tame them as soon as you get some honey. I would recommend spawning near the beaches so you can find some supply crates, then once you find them and look them your practically set for the first part of the game. Go make a small temporary base to store your items, and I'd also recommend quickly working your way up to hide armor. Afterwards you can explore until you find some hives, don't fear, you can use you pickaxe to gather honey from them. Then the Andrew is wrapped around your finger. It shouldn't be too hard to find, just travel until you find one. I do believe they spawn in clusters, so you may have to get creative and lure one away sneakily.
After you have one separated from his comrades, quickly sneak up to him and drop some honey on the ground, and jump on his back. Similar to a horse, you will be given a challenge of staying on this beast until he has given in. If you want, you could even get a pack with your leftover honey, just know you'll have to keep up with all of them in the early game.
Once they are tamed, you have a wonderful well rounded mount, just know they won't be able to gather any useful early-game materials. They can deal a serious bite to threats, and run quite fast when in danger. They are also not bad it water Incase you need to go there, but I wouldn't recommend it. And once you learn how to craft it's saddle, you have an incredibly useful ability. You can shoot at your foes! Given that you keep the ammo well stocked.
In short, one of these is a great help in the beginning of your journey, but if you stick with them, they can be one of the best things that has happened on Fjordur. Good luck out there, and have fun with your new best friend.
