Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megalania? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalania.
These guys can be found in caves. Make sure you have Bolas and Bio Toxins on hand, and a small weapons compatible mount. You'll waste Narcotics if you use those instead of Bio Toxin.
I personally find them in the Carnivore Island cave on sparse occasion, and it's nice to find them there as you'll likely have Prime Meat. They cling to the walls and ceiling, and are so quiet you can't often rely on an audio cue. I often eliminate them by accident fighting off Onycs and bugs.
Good luck taming one, hunter. Once you do, you've got an amazing stealth unit and cave explorer.
i saw this thinking i need a lot of narcs
a level 15 took abt 75 and 20 minutes with mutton on rag
found near volcano on rag where the whales are
abt 17 70 good luck

Can be found in the valley below the snow castle (dark fern) on lost island.
If you want to get an instant tame on a Megalania there’s a glitch right now where they can’t hit dodos and the Volcano beach on Ragnarok has spawns for both of them and the Megalania can’t hit dodos so they wast their stam which uses there food quickly so you might want to get one quick before it’s patched. I got a level 140 male instantly on a single player world on Xbox it might be a thing on PS4 but I’m not sure about PC.
Torpor drain rate is much slower than the timer shows.
If you see one I’ll give you a hint RUN!!!
Need narcotic for these.
Was taming a 25 and had to shoot it 4x with shock darts to keep it unconscious.
This is easy to knockout if u got kapro u can grab and shoot it
Have exordinary kiddLe and have fun taming it
Do the giga tame method with normal doors and a normal bear trap in the cave with a ceiling
I think taming them are glitched now. I’ve tamed some before the update and they were fine and now they all die when attempting to tranq with low level things as well
To tame them you need kibble or prime meat
Ghost aka Ternus420 says “ you can tame Abberant Megalania @coordinates 41.5Lat/31.4 Long , just bring scuba and dive a little until you see the tunnel leading to the Hidden Grotto on Fjordur map”
This is an amazing tame. It is powerful and easy to knock out. Bring lots of narcotic and biotoxin because it wakes up and it won’t be happy. Level up its stamina And bring to caves because you can climb the walls past everything making it a lot easier. Get it you won’t have any regrets!
Don’t use narcotics, use bows or slingshots to kill jellyfish and harvest up dem bio toxins m8
Do not let this guy bite you unless you fancy mega rabies
Can also be picked by a Pteranodon. Went to pick a friend to save him from mega aids and picked this thing instead.
Megalania is known as “dino dog” in ark for it’s rabies,( true fact: it may not look like a dog, but it has 5 SRP (Sharp) claws on each foot) the word “mega” in it’s name is because it’s related to the Onyc bat in Ark. Megalania does rabies, Onyc does mega-rabies. The megalania is not a dino-dog at all, instead, it’s known as “sharp clawed lizard” for it’s sharp claws🦞
I was in carno island cave mining artis and found one, so to pass the time between respawns I found one to tame, then as it reached 100% it came out of its sleep wild and attacked me. Still had about 75% torpor left
Barry kibble does indeed work for the switch, they just take a bit to eat it
