Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megalania? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalania.
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
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!
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.
Can be found around 32.1 34.2 lost island
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
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
Knocked a level 5 feamale out with about 10 tranq arrows was not prepared for the speed of torpidity loss bring lots of narcotics
This thing can climb on everything. Its better in climbing then the thylacoleo and a good mount to have
Easiest way to tame it is by pulling urself under the cave ceiling with grappling hook and feel free shooting it.
Ok this is gonna be a hard but worth it tame. Here's how I did it:
1. I had a lot biotoxin from killing cnidarias so make sure you have around atleast 45-50 biotoxin (it's not hard to get cnidarias are really easy to kill)
2. Make a trap! If this thing bites you.. you're fu**ed it gives you mega rabies if it bites you. If you don't wanna make a trap well, this thing IS affected by bolas! So you can bola it.
3. Put the biotoxin and taming food in it's inventory (I recommend mutton instead of the kibble because it's just a few second difference)
4. MAKE SURE TO USE THE BIOTOXIN WHEN THEY'RE TORPOR IS LOW THESE GUYS HAVE A TORPOR TIMER OF 3-5 MINUTES. THEY'RE TORPOR DRAIN RATE IS FAST TOO.
5. It's gonna be a slow process but once you're done it'll be worth it!
6. Enjoy your new partner in crime.
Pick it up with an argy and drop it in a wooden box. It’s head and tail can be shot with tranq arrows through the wall. Bam EZ tame. (Note, you need about thirty narcotic lololol)
How the f*** can these thing be picked up by a pterodon Dododex
People are over exaggerating about taming these guys.
1: Enter a cave and look at the ceiling(they tend to hang upside down).
2: Get their attention.
3: They have a super weak bite that does 6-7 damage and using a DireBear or Thylo is recommended.
4: Just shoot tranqs from the back of your tame as they can’t contract mega rabies.
5. Prime meat can work but make sure to carry some before entering the cave because their torpor drains fast.
It doesn't seem to like leaving the cave, it'll sit at the entrance while you shoot it in day light
Easy tame if you bola them and then tranq. Watch their torpor though, it drops fast.
In the new valentines update they changed the torpor decrease by half.
What the f*k we have these in mobile!??corona ;-;*dododex says we have them*
Don't even blink while taming.... it'll wake up....
To easily tame it, bring a few bolas, lots toxic arrows with your crossbow or bow, lots of meat, also tons of biotoxin (which you can easily get by killing the shiny jellyfish thingy around the shores). Once you fínd a Megalania, use your bola and shoot ton of toxìc arrows at it, in between use your bola again so it doesn’t escape. When it’s knocked out (I’m sure you know the rest) feed it meat and biotoxin to control its torpor. WOLA! You’ve just tamed a MEGALANIA!!

Just run with your crossbow and shoot with tranq arrows these moschops from hell are slow so u can easily escape them but DONT GET BITTEN
