Do not try to tame if you don't own the DLC, just spent 5 mins dragging it to water just to find out 😂

This creature is hands down THE best tame in the game. I have been following ark since 2018 and I've never seen anything like this, I just took down a 150 alpha Rex with just this guy. Get one immediately they are so so good

On ragnorkock I have been able to tame many of these early game by using other peoples water traps or finding a low lvl and taming with a bow ik the rain then using that to damage better ones below 50 percent, if attempting to get them in trap be aware of their flame leap as it does good damage and allows them to cover distance fast

Tame when it’s raining. The rain douses their flames so you don’t have to lead them to water.

For PS5

R2 attak

R1+L2 return fire, restore health

Hold R1 press R2 to finish tamming then bar on 100%

They can be found in a map without owning the dlc however the dlc needs to be purchased before being able to tame it

To tame these guys you need to get them below 50% health (I might be wrong it could be lower) and apply the “doused” effect to them, which you can do simply by having it rain or putting it in water

After that you must ride the Pyromane and fight creatures/absorb fire (ctrl + right click, and I think L1 R2 for console)

Upon riding you’ll notice a timer, this is until your are dismounted and put at risk of attack from the Pyromane however it will reset upon killing a enemy or absorbing fire (unsure about killing enemy)

This creature can be a difficult and confusing tame however it is worth it

The pyromane is an extremely useful tame found in Ragnorock by the shore where the ground is black, the spawn probably as uncommon, but stand out from other creatures in the area due to the fire that they have. Preferably mount a high level because keeping them alive can sometimes be difficult.

If you have a Wyvern, build a pen and go grab small animals with your wyvern and drop them in the pen, then once you are riding the Pyro to tame, jump in the pen and it’s free eats.

For Xbox

Take to water

Pike until it lets you ride

Go around swiping stuff once in fire RB+LT to absorb flames rinse and repeat until dead.

Move on to next wild dino keep doing this until 100% then RB+RT to complete the tame.

Update what this thing can be affected by NOW. Dododex said this could not be bola'd, so I went to PVP some guys in their cave and SURE enough, first thing they did was bola the pyromane and it knocked me off the Pyro. I ended up being killed along with my pyro. This happened to me last night in Ark Ascended.

PYROMANE's ARE AFFECTED by BOLA's in BOTH ASE/ASA.

1:Choose your Pyromane

2:Lead it to ANY source of water

3:Hit it till it roars

4:Ride it and let it kill some dinos till it's taming process is at 100%

5:BAM YOU HAVE A PYROMANE 😁

Build a trap, lure a ton of wild dinos in, get pyro to rideable state, munch and absorb flame

Pyromanes and probably the most useful tame at least to me, these tames can take out most creatures in the game especially with their powerful fire abilities, they give great cold and heat resistance also make cooked meat for you without any cost, very convenient because they can fit on your shoulder and then be released

Definitely worth the five bucks

If there is no water nearby and you dont wanna use/dont have access to an extinguisher grenade you can carry it via wyvern or argy and it wont attack you unless you attack it. You can then safely lead it to water to tame

One direct counter to killing tamed pyromanes with riders is getting a meaglosaurus a raptor and a pike or gun

The megalo is for picking up the pyro and eating it up

To en the raptor guy will chase the pyro rider and pounce him. Then the raptor guy will jump off and use the pike or gun and start killing him

Then hopefully they die.

(If the megalo can’t kill the pyro bring another tame to help kill it do NOT use a low level megalosaurus because when pyros die they explode so make sure you have flak armour and your megalosaurus high hp)

Absolutely walks all over lava golem and ice worm queen with 5K hp (even easier if you mate boost, also won’t die to lava golem fire

It is carryable by rhyniognatha

Ignore anyone who says lure it to water the easier and safer way is to just wait until it is raining

The button combo on Xbox to transform it while riding is down on right joystick and right bumber
