To tame one-

1. Bring it to a body of water or get it wet, the flames should dim/ go away

2. Damage it until it roars/ stops taking damage. You’ll have around 4 seconds to hop on its back before it reaggros and you have to damage it more

3. Attack enemies and use flame absorb (controls on right side while riding) to absorb the flames you hit them with. You’ll have 30 seconds before it kicks you off but only about seven before taming effectiveness starts falling. Make sure to keep flame absorbing regularly to keep it maxed.

I’d highly suggest trapping a Rex or another tanky wild enemy before hand to attack with the pyro to get the taming effectiveness up effectively and safely, good luck.

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

If u want to accept wildcards mistake as a blessing or to sacrifice because of their mistake, pyromane can be found in blue zone on ab

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

If you play on Xbox use RB + LT when taming to absorbe fire and keep timer up

Breeding Timers: Shadowmane has the same data for babies growth time as the Pyromane.

They get instakilled in lava in Lava Golem Cave. Tried to transform in cave and it launched me into lava, so be careful!

U can’t tame unless u own fantastic tames mod I tried but I couldn’t

The easiest way to tame 1 of these (if you have an argy, which you should already). Pick it up and drop it into the water, hit it a few times and it’ll do a fake roar and stop attacking. Quickly jump on and go around and kill dinos. When its flame meter is full (left ctrl + right click for pc) it resets its timer, same as killing. These creatures are also immune to cave lava. They cook meat in its inventory, provide insulation and heat resistance, immune to fire whilst riding and can turn into a shoulder pet. 1 of the most important tames on ark. Pyro on your shoulder, a veilwyrn companion and riding a griffin. Ultimate combo

To get 100% taming effectiveness do not allow timer to reach 9 seconds remining absorb flames with RB+LT with your cross hairs on Dino the bar does not have to be full

Cooks raw meat in its inventory as it sits. Portable grill

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

You can’t use alphas to tame pyros it literally doesn’t event let you do damage to it.

Was able to carry with an Argy.

Way easier to tame on the center because there is more water where they spawn

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)

Honestly, these guys can be tamed relatively easy early one. Just lead one into the water and shoot it from above until you can mount it. The killing part might be difficult but if you’re taming a high level then it shouldn’t be a problem.

You need to buy a pack to tame it. If you dont have the pack you can see it, kill it and it can kill you but when you want to tame it youll need the pack. Hope this helps

IT CAN BE PICKED UP MY A KARKINOS

What I do is build a trap with gates on land and a bit on water in a circle and search for wild dino's,

Put them in the circle and place the pyromane in the trap and just let it kill everything and it will be tamed easily like this.

You can pick them up with a wyvern and just throw them in the trap
