Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megalosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalosaurus.
I play on mobile, And I will give advice for mobile players. Megalosaurus spawns in caves. He wakes up at 20:30 game time. You need to tame him after 20:30.Otherwise, he will wake up and all taming progress will be reset.
I had trouble figuring out if aberration made it that megalos woke up during taming or not. To clarify the do not.
Is anyone else having trouble taming these things on Lost Island? They won't eat raw meat or prime meat. Seems like they only eat mutton
Eats kibble at 135 instead of 80. Tame bar does stay if it wakes up, but it's possible to lose your kibble. Be careful.
1. Yes it will wake up every single night instantly at 20:30 server time
2.. It can be re-knocked out each time to continue taming, the progress WILL stay. This is what the devs made happen with their "fix", making it look like the waking up is a intentional part of the tame and a wanted feature for it by them.
3. When it wakes up everything in inventory gets deleted, you need to take food out before this happens.
4. 3 hour starve tame is the way to go pretty much, no narcotics needed as torpidity goes really slow, just keep knocking out.
Hope this helps <3
Lure in 3x3 stone trap with 2 high stone doorframes and knockout with boomerang make sure you don’t get close even if it’s in the trap it can still grab you and even if you get out of it’s jaws you fall in the cage you made with 2hp and die
don’t ask how I know
Can someone give me a step by step of how to find and tame one of these for mobile? Also coordinates for the right cave. I really want one, but none of the tips are specific enough for me. I’m three quarters of the way through the game, and I feel like I should have one of these😂

In ark mobile they don’t wake up at night while you are taming it up so noobs can see
Tame them during the day or else they will wake up instantly
People say they are so difficult to tame. Just knock it out through the day you’ll more than likely out run it, found mines in a juggle ran down to the beach so no saber would see me n I knocked it out. Simple?🫠
When taming a Megalosaurus make sure you knock it our first thing in the morning. Do not put Raw meat or Kibble on it inventory right away (let it starve). If you plan to tame a high lvl one make a trap for it and let it starve all day. They wake up at night. No matter how much narcotics you put on this creation it WILL wake up. Do not attack it, wait for it to be day time. Get it unconscious again and wait again for it to starve. Once you reache your starving goal feed it before it gets dark again. Taming isn't hard if you have the time and patience for it. The Megalosaurus sleeps all day and wakes up at night. Have fun taming one!
These babies are always in clever artifact's cave
Sorry for this not being much of a tip, but this IS useful for some people to know. The megalosaurus is virtually useless during the day, and is a decent mount when not burdened by debuffs, so don't spend your time trying to tame one unless you really need a mount that won't always be usable. I tamed one and barely use it for those reasons, it just isn't always convenient.
Always tame at day ! It’s easier in day than night 🤓!
DO NOT TAME CLOSE TO NIGHT TIME! We knocked this guy out with tranq arrows in the early afternoon of the game. He was about a third of the way tamed and had only lost 10 points of consciousness - when he stood up! Legitimately got up and decided to chow down on my Parasaur like it was a chew toy!?!? He woke up and chose violence- he was not going to be tamed today.
Scared the literal crap out of me.
Useful tip for everyone: Ark’s day and night cycle is 1 hour in real life (on normal settings).
That means if you shoot the dinosaur right out at 8:30 p.m., it will wake up in real time in one hour at 8:30 p.m. the next day. For each past hour you have to subtract 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Example: you knocked him out at 10:30 p.m. -> he will wake up in 60 minutes - 2,5 - 2,5 = 55 minutes
At level 26, it is the first time that the Megalosaurus needs more than an hour to be tamed.. So be prepared to knock him out twice or three times
If you are playing on Ragnarok try to find Megalosaur in/nearby viking bay and in jungle nearby viking bay
I’m on mobile and the mega did not auto-wake at 20:30. Wasn’t sure if they took this out of mobile, is a glitch, or what it is, but I had bad anxiety expecting it to get up at any moment.
These things are op for getting rock drake eggs they cant take any radiation damage and do alot of damage so if i were you i would tame one of these guys.
They look cute ,when they are sleeping.
Knock them out early morning (game time), they are very slow and won't wake up during taming process.In Ragnarok there is a mountain cave between lava biom and Viking bay. You can find them there .fly through sea area the cave will be easily spotted .
