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. Wait a few seconds before trying to mount them again to let the bar lower.
Call in the hog ridaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I just went to an underwater cave with my new amphibious mammal.
And guess what? there’s a ton of sea scorpions in this cave… I’m seeing signs of this giant pig to be really good at collecting black pearls off their corpses.. maybe it’s just a fluke, so far he picks up more than me.
More testing needed.
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.
Make sure their isn’t to many other creatures around or they will eat the honey and not the Andrewsarchus.
You can tame one at level one! Here’s how!
Get honey and feed it to andrewsarchus then mount. Before rage bar fills up dismount and run away and it won’t aggro. Check the taming tracker to make sure it’s the level you want if you don’t have a spyglass and repeat the process. It won’t ruin taming effectiveness either. Good luck getting ur pew pew piggies!
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 fights.
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 the water after me but then floated still and let me shoot them for 5 mins straight without even attempting to attack
