Tips & Strategies
Looking to tame a megalania? Here’s a good way how to!; step one supplies! I recommend bringing lesser antidote as anytime it bites you u get mega rabies, antidote cures it, but it’s best not to get to close, I recommend tranq darts, bring 200 narcs, and also some kibble or some mutton, (prime works too) bring some decent flak armor as well because if your playing on lost island, you are going eithor to the redwoods or the volcanic oil deposit! I find my megalanias in the oil deposit they will be hanging arround the shores of the deposit, or in the redwoods, they live in a cave behind the waterfall assuming north west? Of the castle, well it’s somewhere next to the castle with the water fall that u go to, I never actually found any there but I figured you might wanna give it a shot? Ok here’s how to knock them; maintain distance, the only reason is if you get ambushed from behind if your too close to the megalania it will just bite u, so if you maintain distance it will give you time to get rid of the creature tryna impede on your quest, next make sure it’s aggro on you, shoot it in the head with your tranq darts until knock out. Look for any possible Dodics that it tried to kill and get rid of them, as they will still be aggro on the megalania, feed it mutton or prime, and occasionally feed it narcs (by occasionally I mean every 30 seconds or so). Congrats you have tamed this venomous lizard solo! But for what purpose? Here what they are good for!; Transport, arriving in style is always important for a survivor, also safety! Also a very good tame on pvp, as it’s venom even when tamed will get a enemy tribe mate infected witch will get his or her tribe infected with mega rabies, and the antidote is expensive! Pvp it’s a decent cave mount, of course it isn’t the best per say, but it’s a good idea to have in mind, also there eggs make good kibble! Thanks for reading and happy taming!
More Megalania Taming & KO Tips
I was trying to tame one of these boys once, but I didn’t know that they gave an effect called Mega Rabies. Long story short, I got the effect and died shortly after it was knocked out. One up = one F to pay respects
Straight from the land down under, but this time its a satan spiderman lizard, can climb walls, ceilings, got a deadly poisonous bite, and is a very powerful mount. Unlike the liopluerodon, this magical creature is actually worth taming.
So I was on ragnarok and saw a 140 megalania so o thought ooooooooo gimme dat so I got my cross bow and 113 tranquil arrows and shot one and only one.......THAT THINGS FASTER THAAN SANIC BUDDY BOI THERES NO OUTRUNNING DAT THING
Easy to tame with the net projectile. Walked right up on him cuz I didn’t know wth it was. He didn’t even try to attack me
Spiders cant climb walls in this game but this fat lazy looking reptile can, whats next? Argys that cant fly and penguins that will fly faster than wyverns XD
Do not leave the cave when taming or it will respawn.
How to tame a megalania on fjordur:
(based on own experience)
Go to volcano island
You will need:
•A X bow or a longneck rifle, together with 20-30 tranq arrows or darts(i tamed it with arrows it was not that hard)
•A TON OF NARCOTICS, They wake up so goddaammm fast(i had nothing when taming mine, i almost killed w tranq arrows)
Where to find:
I found plenty of em in the volcano part where huge flows of lava go downstream to meet the sea, where there is a huge rock just before the oil lake.
How to tame it:
GET. THE. HIGH. GROUND.
its as simple as that. Find somewhere high and vertical so that the megalania doesnt get to you, never saw one climb before being tamed(maybe because im not that pro of a player) and i can almost guarante that with a few good hits, it can be very easily knocked out.
WARNINGS AND NOTES
Feeding it can be pretty tricky, i found that being next to it until it tames is the best choice, as tranq arrows can take a lot from megalanias health and is torpor drops uncannily fast.
ITS BEST STATS ARE: (in no particular order)
1.Health
2.Damage
3.Stamina
4.Speed
Hope you liked it, sorry if not as useful, always trying to improve, peace outtttt

Knocked a level 5 feamale out with about 10 tranq arrows was not prepared for the speed of torpidity loss bring lots of narcotics
So I’m in rag at jungle/volcano. See one of these tings and think ooh sarco. I’ll tame that….. well it tamed me and ate me about 10 times over. I’ve decided to go back to taming dodos they are a little less complicated!!
This thing can climb on everything. Its better in climbing then the thylacoleo and a good mount to have
