Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a andrewsarchus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a andrewsarchus.
I can't seem to find any after looking for 2 hours pls if anyone can help let me know
I know in dododex it gives info telling you to use Ghille suit but you don't need too, just throw honey in its path, I did this and it worked.
If you whistle a fast ground mount behind you and set it to passive you can get the maximum tame percentage by going until you get kicked off. It is riskier, but it works.
Really easy tame if any of the castles are Emory on your server. Drop one in side the walls and drop the honey, do the direction mini game until just before the red bar fills and dismount. Rinse and repeat. Super quick don't forget an elixr for that extra 30%
To tame this beast wear a ghillie suit ( < -optional) and throw honey in his path, as he stops to eat the honey rush over and jump on his back when on his back he will charge and you must steer depending on the corresponding arrows on your screen after that he will throw you off and you will have to repeat the process , it should takeva few tries to tame.

To tame one you have to get honey from honey rocks[use a hatchet for more honey] then put the honey on your hot bar and then throw the honey near the andrewsarchus and run to it from any direction while it is eating the honey and press e and you have mini game [watch the rage meter] repeat it a few more times and u have an andrewsarchus.
Put honey in front of the thing and ride it around
To tame you will need honey and ghille throw the honey on the floor jump on it and dismount before the red bar fills up
When taming them I recommend having atleast 13 peices of honey.you have too through the honey in front of it then when it's eating it you can run up to it and jump on it then you have to play a mini game but as you go the way the creature wants you to go the rage meter behind the taming bar goes up you wanna jump of just before the rage meter fills up and repeat the process
You don’t need grille it just make it a lower chance if it noticing you
The way to tame a andrewsarchus is put the honey down near the one you want to tame. When the andrewsarchus eats the honey hop on it. Drive it the way the white arrow points. At the bottom of your screen you will see a red bar fill up it’s the rage bar. As soon as the rage bar fills almost to the top hop off and run wait five seconds then repeat.
While taming, ride until the third buck then jump off. This seems to be as long as you can ride without being bucked off and aggroed/stunned.
Also spike walls will reset taming so jump before you hit them if any are in the area.
For anyone building a trap for it, they can walk through double door frames.
So if your on xbox, like me, then this will help.. find an andrew, kill all the ones in the area, also make sure to bring honey, you can normally find some nearby their spawns, then put the honey in the last slot and when your nearby, not too close though, hold down the honey, don’t tap the d pad to eat it, hold it, then the honey should be thrown and when the andrew is eating it, ride it and follow the instruction arrow things
Ghillie is not required, you can drop honey down from the back of a pteranodon and then quickly fly down and hop onto it whilst it's still eating
These things are bugged af, do not put them near any building when trying to tame. Even with full ghillie they’ll decide to aggro the building and will never stop no matter how far away you take them. It’s crossed the entire island to get back to my base.
Bring parachutes, taming these while it runs around cliff edges are dangerous, you get "thrown off" when it tames. -nightwraith
I would suggest getting it trapped on rocks so it can’t run off a cliff
The best way of taming one of these is placing a 2-4 beds near the andrewsuchus ( depending on how many honey you need to tame it ) , place a storage box , put all of your items inside the storage box except for one honey , go to it , do the first ride and just let it kill you , respawn in the beds , grab another honey and you can just re do it without any trouble , the taming won’t reset and he won’t agro to you , keep on doing it until its tamed :) , it is the best way to do it early game , i tamed a high level first try with 5 rides only , it should’ve been 4 but i missed up the controls a bit and had 2% left at the end
Personally I feel like they should be earlygame tame because you just play a little mini game to tame then witch is so easy
