Pyromane Taming Calculator
Douse a Pyromane, either by kiting it into water or with an Extinguisher Grenade, then damage it down to about half health and it will let you mount. From there attack nearby creatures to set them alight and use Flame Absorb to pull the fire in, which is what fills the bar. It throws you off periodically, so douse it again and get back on. On Scorched Earth there is no water near where it spawns, so carry it to some with a Wyvern.
How this tame works
No feedingFill the Fire Energy bar 9 times.
- Progress only counts while it is doused and you are riding it. Water, rain or the ocean applies the soak it needs.
- Fire energy comes from what it burns while you ride. Once the bar work is done, trigger Fire Boost to finish the tame.
