Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a pyromane? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a pyromane.
On ragnorkock I have been able to tame many of these early game by using other peoples water traps or finding a low lvl and taming with a bow ik the rain then using that to damage better ones below 50 percent, if attempting to get them in trap be aware of their flame leap as it does good damage and allows them to cover distance fast
You can grab them with an argy. Just don't attack them and even if they attack you before you can grab them they won't hurt you while your carrying them off to the ocean or a puddle to give them the doused debuff and allow you to damage them enough to get to the taming process. 30 seconds is tough so make sure your in an area with lots of stuff to kill close by
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.
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.
Build a trap, lure a ton of wild dinos in, get pyro to rideable state, munch and absorb flame
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 😁
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
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.
Ignore anyone who says lure it to water the easier and safer way is to just wait until it is raining
If you play on Xbox use RB + LT when taming to absorbe fire and keep timer up
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
Literally the easiest thing to tame drag it to some water hit it with a spear while swimming and ride it i recommend taming like an lvl 20 first then 150 ect so you have the lvl 20 to lower the high one
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
You can’t use alphas to tame pyros it literally doesn’t event let you do damage to it.
Basically a fire shadowmane fire damage 10 / 10 if you get a high level maybe better than a Rex that is the same level taming maybe tame it with a tanky raptor shoot with pump action shot gun relatively easy tame but yeah maybe use them for the boss but there is water or is that ase I forgot but other than that they would be good for the boss
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
Was able to carry with an Argy.
Way easier to tame on the center because there is more water where they spawn
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.
