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!

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 the Center, the volcano island in the north has a south beach where a lot of Pyromanes spawn for me and if your in the water already, they can't set you on fire.

So what I do:

1. Sit in the water, get close enough to agro them or just shoot them with a crossbow.

2. Make sure you can withstand their damage while you damage them

3. Once they do the roar, you want to quickly get on it. For me, the ride pop-up is small but just spam it as you get close enough to it's side

4. Attack any and all land dinos, you have to be on fire to start the tame, it's based off the fire you CONSUME from your attacks and from killing dinos.

Note; ctrl+LMB to consume fire from living creatures, I've seen this give tame progress and reset the 30 second timer so you don't get kicked off.

Once you get one, it's easier to get another since they protect you from fire while on your shoulder or while riding.

On PS5 hit R1+R2 to tame it when at 100%

Don’t take these down to the bottom of the ocean as they will explode

The extinguisher grenade works for putting out their flame 👍🏼

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

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.
