The Acrocanthosaurus is a brutal frontline attacker born for the heart of battle, becoming more powerful the longer the fight lasts. It boasts strong defensive capabilities, turning injuries into momentum and refusing to back down even when other creatures fall. Taming methods can involve traps or on-foot approaches, with the key being the use of Biotoxin. This dinosaur has the potential to bring significant changes to the boss fight meta. ⚔️ Trap Taming: Set up a trap with 7 Metal Dinosaur Gates and 1-3 Bear Traps, then lure and trap it. 🎯 Using Biotoxin: After trapping it, use a shotgun to provoke a defensive stance, and when it performs a true roar, press 'E' to feed it Biotoxin and increase its taming progress. ⚠️ Beware of Fake Roars: Be careful not to be fooled by fake roars, which have a slow animation, knock back players, and deal significant damage.

Efficiently gathering key resources in ARK: Survival Ascended is essential for survival and progression. For Organic Polymer, harvesting plants with a Sickle or bare hands in the Rockwell Boss Arena is best. For Metal and Stone, defeating Rock Elementals in Scorched Earth is effective. Wood can be harvested with a Giganotosaurus after the Forest Titan mini-game on the Extinction map, and Charcoal can be automatically collected using the Pyromane DLC. 🌿 Organic Polymer: Secure large quantities by harvesting plants with a Sickle or bare hands in the Rockwell Boss Arena. ⛏️ Metal and Stone: Lure Rock Elementals into a trap in Scorched Earth, defeat them with cannons, then harvest with a Stone Pickaxe. 🌳 Wood: After the Forest Titan mini-game on the Extinction map, use a Giganotosaurus to chop down unique trees. 🔥 Charcoal: Purchase the Pyromane DLC, place a Mortar under the Pyromane, and let its burning droppings automatically turn into charcoal for collection.

Taming a Pyromane can seem difficult, but there's an efficient way to tame it solo without traps on the Astera map. First, you need to extinguish the Pyromane's flames with a Fire Extinguisher Grenade or by luring it to the beach. After the flames are gone, damage the Pyromane to mount it, then the key is to defeat nearby creatures within 30 seconds and repeat 'Flame Absorption' to increase taming progress. 🗺️ Habitat Identification: Pyromanes can be found across specific islands on the Astera map; scout the locations of nearby creatures before taming. 💧 Flame Removal: Use a Fire Extinguisher Grenade or lure the Pyromane to a beach or water's edge to remove the flames from its body. 🔄 Repeat Flame Absorption: After mounting the Pyromane once its flames are removed, defeat nearby creatures within 30 seconds and repeat 'Flame Absorption' to fill the taming progress.

The Acrocanthosaurus and Easter event were unexpectedly delayed by 24 hours on their release day, anticipated to launch around 5 AM on April 2nd. The official reason for the delay was 'discovering several things that needed to be checked during final update adjustments,' but given past precedents, there were speculations of other reasons, such as platform approval issues. Particularly, there's a risk of MOD-related data loss due due to the update delay, so MOD users need to exercise special caution. ⏳ Release Delay: The Acrocanthosaurus and Easter event were delayed by 24 hours and were expected to launch on April 2nd at 5 AM (KST). 🚨 MOD Data Loss Risk: A phenomenon occurred on April 1st where MODs were automatically deactivated upon login, so be sure to check your MOD application status before logging in to prevent data loss. 🗓️ Event Duration Extension: Official servers extended the event period from April 2nd to April 16th as compensation for the delay.
