How To Tame the Pyromane in ARK: Survival Ascended

ARK: Survival Ascended meeting the new Pyromane – Introduction

With the latest update to ARK: Survival Ascended and the introduction of “The Center” map, players now have an exciting opportunity. There are many new areas to explore, creatures to discover, and challenges to overcome. One of the most impressive additions is the Pyromane, a fire creature that promises to revolutionize the way you survive and fight in the world of ARK. Here is everything you need to know about this curious feline, from its physical appearance to its taming process.

Pyromane

The Pyromane is a feline engulfed in flames found in the volcanic zone of “The Center,” one of ARK’s most iconic maps. This creature is part of the “Fantastic Tames” DLC, meaning you’ll need this additional content to find and tame this formidable beast. Before the release of “The Center” map, it was impossible to find the Pyromane in the ARK: Survival Ascended world. Although its design, movements, and attacks resemble other mythical felines in the ARK universe.

Taming

Taming the Pyromane is a challenge worth undertaking. Keep in mind that this creature is covered in flames and exhibits aggressive behavior towards players. Therefore, we will guide you through the process, providing the best tips to facilitate this potentially dangerous yet straightforward task.

Preparation

Before beginning your encounter with the Pyromane, you need to carry a powerful weapon, such as a shotgun, to deal quick damage and be aware of the nearest water source location.

Procedure

1. First, you will attract the Pyromane’s attention and run towards the nearest water source. It is important that the Pyromane extinguishes its flames upon contact with water; you can also achieve this by forcing it to attack until it runs out of fire energy, but leading it to the water is the safest option.
   
2. Once its flames are extinguished, you can attack until the option to mount this fierce feline appears.
   
3. When you are on its back, a bar will appear above your toolbar with a 30-second timer on the left side.
   
4. To tame it, you need to fill this bar before time runs out.
5. You will achieve this by attacking wild creatures, which will start to burn in flames. These creatures will also display a red bar that fills up as they spend time enveloped in flames.
   
6. By pressing “Ctrl + Right-click,” you can absorb that fire, reflected in the red bars on the creatures. Absorbing it will fill a percentage of the bar with the timer.
   
7. Once you fill the bar, you will have tamed the Pyromane.

Tips

• Although it may seem counterintuitive, try to tame a high-level Pyromane, as lower-level ones have little health and may die before you fill the taming bar.
• Try to clear the area where the Pyromane is located before starting the taming process to avoid attracting other creatures’ aggression and distracting your future companion.

Abilities

This fiery feline not only impresses with its appearance, but also with its unique abilities that can drastically change your survival strategy. Here’s a look at what the Pyromane has to offer:

• Fire Attacks: All its attacks are imbued with fire, causing additional damage to the enemies.
• Healing Ability: One of its standout abilities is the capacity to absorb the fire it leaves on enemies to heal itself.
  
• Fire Path: It can create paths of flames that damage any enemy that dares to follow it.
  
• Powerful Jump: The Pyromane has an explosive jump that not only helps it move quickly and far, but can also cause significant damage to anything in its way.
  
• Transformation: It has the ability to transform into a miniature version of itself that you can carry on your shoulder. This small version can use some attacks and provide heat protection.
  

Survival Support

The Pyromane is not only a powerful combat tool, but also provides daily survival benefits within your base and while exploring. Here are the most notable survival benefits:

Lighting Fires: It can ignite and maintain your fires, whether campfires or forges, as long as it’s near your workstations. This ability is remarkable because you won’t need extra materials to keep your things running, just have the big cat nearby.

Buffs and Resistances: Riding it grants you significant protection from heat and cold, and you can cross lava rivers without any problem. When in its pet version, you’ll have the same heat and cold buff but in a lesser amount, and it won’t protect you from lava.

Cooking Food: You can place raw meat in this feline’s inventory, and it will slowly cook while it’s there, making it perfect for expeditions and always keeping your food supplies well-stocked.

ARK: Survival Ascended meeting the new Pyromane – Conclusion

If you haven’t explored the “Fantastic Tames” DLC yet, now is the perfect time to do so and experience everything the Pyromane has to offer.
