If he smiles at you And comes closer RUN ACAP
It’s not the melee that kills you, it’s the disease.
If you want to tame one of these DON'T leave the area until it's up. I just found a lv60, knocked it down, got attacked by spiders and scorpions, used stims, went to get more water and it was gone when I got back, not happy :(
Also, use a bear trap or 2 cause these things are quick 👍
If you see one on the ceiling, force it down. It can't climb back on unless it's a tamed one. Careful on Extinction, if you reach the Trench in the city, they are all around there. I landed my Griffin once for rest, and there it was, on the wall, chilling as if a big griffin wasn't even there.
If you have a tribe mate have them hold it with their wyvern and shoot it from underneath and you won’t get the rabies disease 😁 learned the hard way 😅
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.
Won't attack you if you come up from behind. I spawned on the recommended beach on Ragnarok came up behind it wondering what it was and it just sat there.
A quick tip for ragnarok players, there's enormous amount of megalania in Highland near dragonmalte tranch - beach entrance. Once you on there don't you dare to run especially if you have a high speed stats, since this thing's height is almost the same as moschops so you wouldn't reflect to avoid one of these, don't worry, unless you never get too close to them you will never gets agroed by them, the agro meter is really low even lower than a theri.
You can bola them, but if it chasing you you'll need 2-3 bola in order to get them stay in place.
Watch out for these guys mega rabies it sucks I died trying to get my stuff from my dead body so many times because it stays in you dead body so be careful
These guys are amazing mobility and stealth units! Yeah they're slow and can't jump, but they're very quiet, can climb up walls, and can tank attacks from a lot of different creatures. My advice is add 4-6 HP ups and pound the attack stat ups afterward, adding stamina and weight as needed.
One time, I was shooting tranqs at a lv95 Rex while my best friend was over, and his mount took heavy damage while was using my Megalania to cling on the wall just above the Rex's head. My crossbow was bad and I didn't have enough Tranq Arrows... and we eventually lost sight of him. Oh well.
Torpor drain rate is much slower than the timer shows.
Equus back kick i found best knockout and then make sure u have a lot of naco and keep collecting nacoberries with ya equus. Does the job on a level 105
This is easy to knockout if u got kapro u can grab and shoot it
they CANT be bola'd DESPITE WHAT THE DODODEX SHOWS
Have exordinary kiddLe and have fun taming it
They can not give you mega rabies while on a mount.they don’t all was give it to you
Need narcotic for these.
Was taming a 25 and had to shoot it 4x with shock darts to keep it unconscious.
Don’t use narcotics, use bows or slingshots to kill jellyfish and harvest up dem bio toxins m8
