If you try to tame when raining it will already have its flames extinguished.

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

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

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

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.

To tame, bring to water to extinguish its flames makes it easy to be able to ride you want to hit it couple times, then it’ll do a animation which is a little roar that’s when it’s ready to be ridden make sure there are dinos around high level will be better cause they’ll last longer and keep hitting away at them if your timer gets low just absorb flame then it’ll shoot back up to 30 secs the more of the bar you fill on the dinos you hit the more it’ll fill the tame bar

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.

I usally pick it up with an argy (when it’s picked up it won’t attack u unless u attack it) bring to somewhere with a lot of dinos then start shooting makes the taming process a lot easier and safer

You can tame it right at the start with spears. Lure it into water deep enough for you to get comfortably under it, then hit it until it roars. It may take a few attempts.

It’s also easier to tame a higher level one because it’s less likely to die during the taming process.

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

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.

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.

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

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 😁

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

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

It is carryable by rhyniognatha

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

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

Wait for the rain. If it’s snowing it’s raining by the pyromanes.

Find the one you want and attack it with your tame.

Kite it to a place where there are brontos or other fattys.

Boom easy.

If you are having a hard time with the timer just keep something alive and kite it along with you while you find more wilds. Only pull flames when you need to reset the timer until you’re close to other animals.
