3. 🎯 Acrocanthosaurus Taming Methods
· There are three main ways to tame an Acro.
· On-Foot Taming: Always maintain distance and attack the Acro with a gun until it roars and opens its mouth. When it opens its mouth, run up and feed it Narcotics or Biotoxin. Biotoxin is more effective and is consumed 5 at a time. Don't forget to place it on hotbar slot 0.
· Mounted Taming: Sit on a mount (e.g., Phylacoleo) and attack with a gun. When the Acro roars, dismount and feed it narcotics. You need to move quickly to avoid being bitten.
· Trap Taming (Safest): Set up a trap using 5 Metal Dino Gates and place Large Bear Traps inside. Lure the Acro into the trap, then place 2 additional Metal Dino Gates behind it to enclose it. Before luring it into the trap, clear out surrounding wild creatures to prevent the Acro from attacking anything else.

4. ⚠️ Taming Process Precautions & Tips
· Once the Acro is trapped, start attacking it with a gun. After a few hits, it will enter a 'Defensive Stance,' significantly reducing incoming damage.
· Continue attacking until the Acro roars and opens its mouth. At this point, run up and feed it Narcotics or Biotoxin.
· Repeat this process until the Acro falls unconscious.
· Beware of Fake Roars: The Acro sometimes performs fake roars. Never approach it during this time; it can stun and knock you back.
· The Acro fully recovers its health when fed narcotics or when using a fake roar, so the chance of killing it is low.

5. 🍖 Post-Torpor Management & Preferred Food
· It's recommended to build structures around the unconscious dinosaur to prevent taming effectiveness from dropping.
· The Acro's favorite food is Exceptional Kibble, but all types of meat are also effective.
· When taming a low-level Acro, be careful not to kill it as its health is low. For safety, it's best to use a low-damage shotgun.

| C (Defensive Stance) | Assumes a defensive stance with damage reduction. In this stance, pressing the spacebar provokes nearby wild creatures to attack it. Left-click performs a bite attack, and right-click performs a push-back attack that shoves enemies away. |
| Adrenaline Mode (Rage Mode) | Adrenaline builds up when taking damage in defensive stance. When Adrenaline reaches 100%, press the spacebar to enter a powerful Rage Mode. In Rage Mode, movement speed and attack power increase, and it performs three stomp attacks. It is known that this mode can also damage metal structures.
