ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
I joined the ARK map for the first time and saw this creature. I looked him in the eye. He looked me in the eye. I smiled at him. He smiled back. Then he ate me.
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
Avoid to get bitter by them,
These a**hole give corona.
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.
Unfortunately, Megalanía is not in Ark Mobile...
Caves are where I abide
Though I often allude your eyes
Don't search the ground
Look up, not down!
Or I'll drop and leave you surprised.
If you do manage to tame one, be sure to sing the Spiderman song while climbing on ceilings :)
Megalanias are simply the best climber that isn’t a rock drake because thylas and deinonychus are extremely buggy when climbing. They’re great for caving and taming things by climbing around, just beware that their bite does almost no damage against tames. Utilize their rider weaponry and bring a shotgun or compound bow.
Every bite will give you a disease that lasts for 80 seconds called Mega Rabies. It's contagious, rapidly drains your health and stamina, and also curable if you have lesser antidotes or wyvern milk.
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
Narcoberries are more efficient than narcotics on megalanias and other creatures with fast torpor drop rates since narcoberries add less torpor over a longer period of time.
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
I was just going about in a cave when this thing dropped in and said "suprise motherf*****
These can be used as a deadly bioweapon against enemy tribes:every bite of a megalania has a chance of inflicting highly contagious health draining rabies, so just one bite from a megalania can kill many more players and the rider of the megalania is immune, that combined with their brilliant wall climbing ability means that they can sneak into an enemy base and spread a deadly plague which can only be treated with a lesser antidote which is incredibly difficult to get seeing as the best way to get it also inflicts a deadly disease only curable by it
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
