Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megalania? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalania.
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)
Incase you’re trying to find one in fjordurs caves, they spawn on the shores of the volcano island
Go into a cave with a kaprosuchas and carry one out, then tranq it while it's still in its mouth
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!!

It's not a 'powerful mount with a deadly bite' at all. It's quite weak like a raptor. It climbs well, but will get wrecked by bats if you're not careful, it can't escape those.
Confirmed ability to grab Lizard off walls of open caves with Argentavis.
It's a wall climbing lizard that I guess Is used to getting drugged. I turned around for maybe two minutes to fight off bats and when I turned back around and it killed me. SUPER TORPOR
Ideally in a taming pen. Keep your narcotic (extra) handy apply 100 narcotic(40x100= 4000 torpor) *quick maths* torpor goes down incredibly fast but rises very slowly so gives you time to move around or tame another in a separate pen. When torpor drops repeat narcotic step.keep fridge with the mutton near by. Salt and /or preserve bin too if it wakes try again. Worth it Ez don't get bit. Tame from outside pen. Use stated number of darts plus a healthy extra incase of missed shots or miscalculation. HIV+ on PrEP
Easiest way to tame it is by pulling urself under the cave ceiling with grappling hook and feel free shooting it.
If you tamed this with cooked fish meat, you are a legend.
Supplies for taming: Bola or bear trap (about 15 of them), About 50 tranq darts, longneck rifle, narcotics or bio toxin, and lots of meat.
To tame these beasts, you will need to find a cave, the highlands beach in ragnarok, you need tranq darts or arrows, I prefer darts, get bolas or bear traps, it really doesn’t matter. Bola or trap it and shoot it repeatedly until it gets knocked out, you will need a far distance from them and you need loads of narcotics and/or bio toxin. Once you tamed it make Shute to get out of the cave
Really, really nasty torpor drop when knocked out. Like dimetrodons but much more fun.
Decently experienced ark player here. When they say the torpor drop for this thing is high it is very high as when I knocked this thing out it woke up in a second. To put simply carry some bio toxin with you.
Use Tek helmet or rare flower to lure out. Like thyla, if you shoot it will fall
WARNING
If you are tameing them in a cave, you can’t leave or they will be despawned!!!!!
For easy KO : bring a Kaprosuchus in the cave with you, it can grabb the lizard , just dismount when grabbed and you can tranq it very easy. Just be ready with tons of narcos... :)
Always found on Ragnarok everywhere on Highlands North seriouslyBest tame ever😍 very venomous ☠️ 🦎🤮
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.
Remember level ones take 87 narcos so bring a ton
It's basically a giant komodo dragon.
