Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megaloceros? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megaloceros.
My favorite cave mount. I have been breeding them for months, my 776 melee outputs as much damage as a wyvern bite at 500 melee, plus bleed. Put an MC or better saddle on one and it will wreck any cave. They absorb otherwise rider inflicted damage, they can jump to clear gaps, they're fast, they output massive damage, and can hit more than one target at once with their attack. What's not to love? (Low health and weight which also makes them painstaking in baby stage)
How to tame: Megaloceros
You will need: Argy with saddle, a bola, berries and a base fairly close to the redwoods. (maybe in southern islets?) Step 1: Hop on your argy and fly to the redwoods. Step 2: Find a female megaloceros with no creatures charging at it or attacking it. Step 3: Pick up the female megaloceros. Step 4: Land at your usual stamina regain spots. Note that whenever you land, you will drop the megaloceros. Make sure to pick it up again. Step 5: Once you're at your base, if you have spike walls surronding it, put the megaloceros in the middle so it won't die. Step 6: Bola it, knock it unconsious with your fists, and give it berries (50 is good, but if you have a berry plant, take all the berries from that plant and put it in the megaloceros' inventory.) Step 7: Wait until it's tamed. At your base, it's safe. Step 8: Name it, and i reccomend to breed females to get strong males, and fight with males. Don't get your males killed! Also keep females to keep the cooldown at bay. Please ^ if this was helpful!
Quick tip about the megaloceros the males are the only ones that can attack while females are good for fleeing downside is they can't attack and can be killed easily hoped this helped.
Guys you can bola it and it’s a really easy knockout you can use five to ten tranq arrows with a crossbow
Yes I love you
Will you be my pet
All 3 died tragically. I had them come into the house because a dinosaur was attacking and they ran to the roof, jumped off and died 😭
To tame a Megaloceros, I would try to tame an Argentavis and carry it to somewhere warm. Assuming you have plenty of Mejoberries from any berry collector, or even by hand, or you could have Dimorphodon kibble you can begin taming. I would suggest using a bola, because these guys like to run. With a few tranquil arrows to their head they would be out quick. These guys don't usually need much narcotics. The megaloceros is amazing at collecting thatch, and they have a bleed effect, which is great for pvp and killing dinos.
YES! Finally learned how to breed and am know waiting for a fawn, or two, or three!
It’s better if you use an arge to pick up the moose and bring it to your taming pen you built. Then tranq it out. Then you got yourself a fabulous Rudolph.
I was flying around and saw a pack of terror birds killing everything so while they were killing a male I led the female father away used my bola knocked her out used mejoberries but collected more and then flew her to my base
Here is a great tip for taming these. When you fly to the redwoods, MAKE YOUR FLYER AN ARGY! When you knock it out and the area seems safe, note that other creatures (purlovias, terror birbs, carnos etc) can spawn and kill your megaloceros! With an argy you can protecc your megaloceros, by killin' dem carnz, Killin' dem Terror birbz and killin' all dem tingz who come near ya moose! I was taming one while flying on my argy, and i had to kill: like a million terror birb packs, one carno and one purlovia, all to protect my moose. Her name is Sprinkle, and she is pregnant now, and safe thanks to my argy. Argy's also have great stamina, so you can hover over your megaloceros and protect it. Pteranodons can't protect very well, don't have great starting stamina etc. USE AN ARGY TO PROTECT YOUR FUTURE TAMED MOOSE! P.S One like=one hope sprinkle's future baby is female!
I tamed one when I spawned in the cold I knocked it out with fists and I died because it was cold and I was naked. But it was taming and I spwaned near it and tamed it
Hey, how do you breed these? I have a buck (greystone) and a doe (ophilia) and i want a fawn.
Great at collecting sap and boys have antlers
Now I am on a mobile device, and this maybe was my imagination, but while taking one of these fellas, I fed it a rare flower, it tamed a bit faster until the taming went up, so I fed it another, it helped!
Also, if you can’t find rare flowers anywhere, go to your local beaver dam and open it, beware though, the beaver will attack you for stealing stuff from their precious babies… anywho, they give you rare flowers.
Also, if you have an argintavis and a tree platform, pick it up with your argie, place it on the platform, bola it, and use TRANQ ARROWS! Tranq darts to more melee than the arrows, also the bolas only last for 30 seconds! So be quick!
Happy taming!!
Yes I would love to adopt you pretty please
These make great tanks. Every one I had went the distance with almost anything! Plus they’re good no leaping and fall damage. Another difference than other tanks is this one is fast.
This is a tip to let u know only to tame the ones with antlers. The one with antlers are male. The ones without are female and do literally nothing. The males however can do stuff so don’t tame the ones without antlers
Use soybeans in prim plus for quick tame
This guy actually collects alot of cactus sap to idk why thats on the chart
