How to find and tame Fasolasuchus in Ark Survival Ascended

You cannot use the traditional taming routine for the Fasolasuchus in Ark Survival Ascended. Instead, you will have to engage its unique taming mechanics by driving it headlong into objects - sort of like Rhino fights in Spiderman games. Brute force doesn't work, as it can simply kill the beast without ever raising torpidity.

Released with the Scorched Earth expansion, the Fasolasuchus is the first community-voted new creature added in a DLC, and as such, a great trophy dino. Taming a Fasolasuchus in Ark Survival Ascended is a tricky thing to get used to, but this guide will explain everything you need to know - including where to find it.

Taming strategy for Fasolasuchus in Ark Survival Ascended: riding minigame explained

Fasolasuchus is a hyper-aggressive creature with a few ranged attack options, requiring players to be cautious while taming it.

• You can use a fast land or flying tame in Ark Survival Ascended to locate a Fasolasuchus without having to worry about its repertoire of attacks.
• Fasolasuchus is not a passive tame and must be tamed aggressively with a knockout.
• Once you locate the monster, you have to drop its aggro and hide. Once the Fasolasuchus thinks there are no threats nearby, it will bury itself into the sand. Wait for a mound to appear, and use an explosive on the mound to stun it. You can, for example, use C4 Charges or Grenades.
• You can then ride it, which is a unique minigame of its own.

Once you are mounted on it, there is a Control Meter and a Torpidity Meter. You have to get the Torpidity meter to full to tame it, like any other dino.

• Control slowly declines as the Fasolasuchus tries to knock you off its back, but it can be reset by hitting small rocks, salt rocks, and even certain smaller debris.
• The Torpidity Meter rises ever-so-slowly when you hit larger rock clusters, but this also declines Control.
• The trick is to simply stay in the desert, and maintain Control until you wear it out slowly. If you get out of the desert terrain, it can simply jump out of the surface, knocking you off instantly.

After you knock out the monster, feed its preferred food to start the taming process. As it is a carnivore, it prefers Meat, Prime meat, and fish. Once the taming bar is full, you will have your very own Fasolasuchus in Ark Survival Ascended.
