method, in order
Giant Bee Honey, then ridden: throw honey down, mount it while it eats, and steer where the arrows point until it accepts you. Quirks
- To tame an Andrewsarchus:
1. Wear a Ghille suit. 2. Put Giant Bee Honey on your hotbar and use it to throw the honey onto the ground. 3. While it eats, approach and mount it. 4. Steer left and right as indicated by the arrows. 5. You will then be thrown off of the Andrewsarchus. Repeat.
Note that the number of required honey varies depending on how perfect you steer the Andrewsarchus.
Holding it still
Chain BolaFired from a Ballista or 
Harpoon Launcher. Grounds flyers and pins them where they land.
Large Bear TrapSame idea as the 
Bear Trap, sized for the big stuff. Bait it into walking over one.That's the full list — nothing else immobilizes a Andrewsarchus, per the game's own immobilizer table (drag weight 250).
