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

If you are taming this creature make sure to jump off if it runs towards water , otherwise the taming % drops to zero consistently. To not have him at the water again just go up on him and let it chase you, then run towards a big area again where no water is nearby , don't…

The saddle is a literal top part of a tank although your Andrewsarchus could be a tank the turret does roughly 40 damage at 100% damage, would be cool if you could use different ammo like pistol rounds with reduced damage but faster Fire rate and sniper rounds to increase…

Don’t clear the area of things that agro, trap everything so it doesn’t respawn mid tame. Then kill everything afterwards to reset the spawning for the next person. And keep the traps out of the way

Andrewsarchus is pretty Early game bc of how easy it is to get honey in the easy spawn area (they attack when they have an advantage). Try to be careful when you go get water(he will try to kill you)
