Tips & Strategies
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.
More Pyromane Taming & KO Tips
1.find one. 2.shoot it with pump shot gun(best option). 3.when it roars it should say ride so press ride. 4.kill dinos until you can use flame absorb. 5.keep attacking it and pressing flame absorb. 6.now when you done it and the bar is full at the bottom it should say tame with some buttons. Please like I spent a lot of righting/good luck
1. Find the pyromane you want to tame
2. Let it agro on you
3. Lead it into any type of water (I’m not sure but should work with all types of water.)
4. Once you lead it into water start damaging it
5. Wait for it to do the roar animation
6.Start kill creatures with the flame attacks and keep doing this until it tames
7. Enjoy your shadowman- I mean pyromane!

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
A good strategy is to scout the area first to make sure there are some dinos around. Then find the pyromane you want damage to 50% in water and ride it when you see the roar animation. Then go attack dinos and absorb the flames. If you don't see any more dinos around but are currently attacking one. Just hit the dino so it catches flames and absorb to reset 30 sec timer, then start riding away while the dino you were attacking aggros you. As you keep riding away only turn back and hit the aggroing dino and absorb flames if your 30 sec timer is running out. Keep repeating this until you find more dinos. Rinse repeat. If you think this was helpful. Sky high please
Be careful when cryopoding your new pyromane if you left important gear on it expecting it to drop a bag. As of the moment the bag disappears in 0.5 seconds deleting anything in it. I hope this can help people to not lose important items.
You don’t have to use a shotgun I just used a griffin to get mine to roar
You can use the Extinguisher Grenade to give him the doused debuff
Controller button for drain flames is RB + LT Xbox and R1 +L2 for PS.
Then to tame it fully its RB + RT (R1 + L2) for some reason so it puts you in 1st person dino mode.
On PS5 hit R1+R2 to tame it when at 100%
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.
