Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Andrewsarchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Hop off it right before it forces you off when taming, this avoids his back kick stun which avoids damage, and as a bonus, if you do this while wearing ghillie it completely ignores you once you hop off.

When taming, there is a red bar where the taming effectiveness is. It will build up as you are riding the Andrewsarchus and, when full, it will kick you off and try to kill you. If you manually dismount before the bar is full you can avoid them aggroing and trying to kill you.…

Get ready for a lot of honey since you will need it for this method aka early game just starting

I have .8 rates or .4 not on single player settings since I’m lonely but you get a metal hatchet and get a lot of honey around maybe 20 you find the one you like I got lucky…

Don’t stress this tame this is easy since all you need is Giant bee honey.

Final. Get Giant bee honey take it to the Andrew use ghillie armor just in case.

Then after a while it’s all yours. Good luck!!

Very good tame even for a new player, got mine like at level 5 just wearing cloth, you dont need ghillie. Just gather honey from the honey rocks, place them on your hot bar and use it to toss it on front of him then just atear it.

This things biggest weakness is a giga or thyla. Thyla does giga Bleed and this thing dies extra fast to that for whatever reason and takes fall damage like the basilisk.

Absolutely broken. Incredibly easy to tame, saddle is broken. It makes your survivor immune to damage, dismounts, drowning, radiation, poison, everything. Your survivor is basically in god mode while riding it with its saddle. It’s incredibly tanky too. Even took it on boss…

For some reason alpha dinos will not agro to you when you are in the water firing 750 rounds of advanced rifle bullets in their face per second for 5 minutes straight,

I managed to kill 3 alpha Raptors with a wild tame one of these guys and a prim saddle because they went in…

You can use him to go to swamp cave. Saddle can protect you from poison and desmodus (also you won't lose oxygen).

Think of a Tek saddle he already has a minigun saddle though we probably won't get one a Tek minigun saddle that uses a new type of element would be cool -Raven72
