Tips & Strategies
To tame your own Pyromane, kite it to a body of water so that it acquires the Doused debuff. Continue to attack it to bring its health down to below 50%. Once sufficiently weakened, you should be able to interact with it to mount it. Once mounted, attack nearby creatures to apply a burning effect, then use Flame Absorb (ctrl-secondary) to absorb the flame to progress the taming meter.
On Scorched Earth, Pyromane spawn in the wyvern trench, around which are no bodies of water. However, a wyvern is capable of carrying a Pyromane, so you'll need to pick up your target and drop it in the nearest body of water (for example, around the Red or Blue Obelisk) to tame them

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.
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
On PS5 hit R1+R2 to tame it when at 100%
The extinguisher grenade works for putting out their flame ππΌ
Donβt take these down to the bottom of the ocean as they will explode
To tame these guys you need to get them below 50% health (I might be wrong it could be lower) and apply the βdousedβ 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 youβll 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
For PS5
R2 attak
R1+L2 return fire, restore health
Hold R1 press R2 to finish tamming then bar on 100%
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 itβs free eats.
