ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

Ptrefier has a great video on getting one early game. It's called starting on fjour or somethingng like that
You might wanna pack:
A nuke
A pegostamax to steal him
A literal N1 rocket
A boom box to play cringe nonstop
And a Carcharodontosaurus.
Andrewsarchus can be found in almost any field on Fjordur
Why is it easier to craft this things minigun than it is to craft a big beaver saddle
For the guy that asked,
We can’t have the indom or the indoraptor or the scorpious bc they are copyrighted by jw so ark can’t use them.:)
There better found in asgard rather then vanniland tell people about this
Did the Tek Cave Alpha with this beast. Fully mutated and a max. saddle.
So get some honey and feed it to the andrewsarchus and get close to it
And ride it until it’s tame and then boom you get a andrewsarchus
It’s only short tempered, not aggressive! the difference between this is that aggressive will attack on sight, but short-tempered will only attack if ur around it too long. For example u can breeze by on ur raptor without it attacking, but if u stay to, let’s say, cut down a tree or regain stam it will attack. If u attack back then leave and come back it will pursue you because it knows your a threat. This means you can NOT tame one you have punched before. It will try to kill you instead of eating honey.
After three easy andrew tames using this method figured I would share:
-Use a wyvern to clean out the area around the Helms Deep fortress.
-Drop the andrew inside. Natural trap with minimal exits.
-Use a grapple to escape when it kicks you off.
If it runs out either pick it back up with the wyvern or run it back inside if you have high enough speed.
-While waiting for it to de-aggro, check the surroundings, if something hits it taming drops to 0.
This method is way easier then running around
randomly.
So, you wanna tame an Andrewsarchus, huh? Here's how.
Step 1: Find a rock with a beehive in it, and harvest the honey with a pickaxe.
Step 2: Find the Andrewsarchus you wanna tame.
Step 3: Put the honey in your hotbar. If you're using a stack mod, make sure to only assign one jar of honey to each slot. I made the mistake of assigning over 800 honey I gathered and lost all of it when the Andrewsarchus ate it.
Step 4: Maintain a distance and throw the jar of honey onto the ground near the Andrewsarchus you want to tame. It should walk towards it and begin eating it.
Step 5: While the Andrewsarchus is busy eating the honey, run up to it and press the interaction button to mount it. It will begin a minigame.
Step 6: Use the directional buttons to turn in the direction the on-screen arrow is pointing (A & D for PC, but if you're on console, just move the left stick in the direction it's pointing).
Step 7: Pay attention to the red bar underneath the taming bar. That's the Andrewsarchus' rage meter. If it fills up all the way, you'll get thrown off, and the Andrewsarchus will aggro onto you, losing a bit of taming effectiveness. To prevent this, get the rage meter as close as you can to full WITHOUT COMPLETELY FILLING IT, then hop off before it's completely filled, and the Andrewsarchus will not aggro. You also won't lose taming effectiveness.
Step 8: Repeat steps 4-7 until it's tamed.
Boom! You have an Andrewsarchus. Hope this helped.
This is a rip for PVP
Players can hide inside the gun on its saddle while riding so just if you wanna speak up on people hide in it and chill until someone comes bc they can see you, the gun on its back takes any bullets I normally use the advanced rifle bullets and here is some controls for xbox
1.bite. Tap the RT button to bite
2. Buck. Tap the LT button to buck
3. Shoot bullets. Tap the button where u would usually move on ur Dino or just to run or walk with ur character then to shoot the bullets tap LT
And if you go in first person u can see through where the gun is!
Up if this helped :)
Get a lot of honey, have a desmodus handy, and make sure you have a sanguine elixir, cause you're going to have a bad time without them
Fort you need a chilies suit to make things as easy as possible, on Fjordur it’s not to hard to get a set. Then, get honey (there’s often hives lying around) and put it in your hop bar. When you find the Andrew you wanna tame, throw down the honey, wait for it to eat it, and then quickly run up and mount it. It will have arrows that tell you to steer left and right. Before the bottom bar can reach fully red, dismount so it won’t agro to you. Usually doing this 2-3 times tames it.
How to tame an andrewsarchus:
1. Throw honey near it.
2. Once it starts eating the honey, mount it.
3. After mounting, you will need to start steering left or right. There will be an Indicator.
4. Unmount before the red meter fills up.
5. Repeat until the andrewsarchus is tamed.
-Also their saddles protect you from radiation or lava, and gives you infinite oxygen underwater.
Hope this helped!
