Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megalania? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalania.
Do the giga tame method with normal doors and a normal bear trap in the cave with a ceiling
I think taming them are glitched now. I’ve tamed some before the update and they were fine and now they all die when attempting to tranq with low level things as well
Do not let this guy bite you unless you fancy mega rabies
Can also be picked by a Pteranodon. Went to pick a friend to save him from mega aids and picked this thing instead.
Base damage is 10, good for killing people with mega rabies and climbing everywhere bad at anything else
This is an amazing tame. It is powerful and easy to knock out. Bring lots of narcotic and biotoxin because it wakes up and it won’t be happy. Level up its stamina And bring to caves because you can climb the walls past everything making it a lot easier. Get it you won’t have any regrets!
If you see one I’ll give you a hint RUN!!!
How to tame these guys 1. Get bola 2. Get tranq arrows 3.find the giga lizard in its habitat 4.bola the lizard 5.tranq it 6.kill carnotuarus 7. Feed the lizard prime meat 8. Meet your new giga lizard!
To tame them you need kibble or prime meat
Pulmoscorpios can take hits from this all day long. Just a few torpor hits and this goes down without any threat. The problem is the torpor drop rate. Bring stacks of narcotics.
Knocked out a level 150 after spending 20 minutes carrying it over and it biting my argy the entire time. Knocked it out in my pen, went to get the kibble, came back to its torpor being at 200. Attempted to save it by punching it a lot, didn’t have time to get narcos. It woke up. Killed it and it had eaten my kibble too. So bring narcos before hand, even if your house is 2 spaces away from your taming pen
Bring double the biotoxin that dodoex says to bring had to use 500+ when dodoex said “285” for a lvl 57
Megalania is known as “dino dog” in ark for it’s rabies,( true fact: it may not look like a dog, but it has 5 SRP (Sharp) claws on each foot) the word “mega” in it’s name is because it’s related to the Onyc bat in Ark. Megalania does rabies, Onyc does mega-rabies. The megalania is not a dino-dog at all, instead, it’s known as “sharp clawed lizard” for it’s sharp claws🦞
I was in carno island cave mining artis and found one, so to pass the time between respawns I found one to tame, then as it reached 100% it came out of its sleep wild and attacked me. Still had about 75% torpor left
Barry kibble does indeed work for the switch, they just take a bit to eat it
Dododex says they arent carriable by the tapajara, but they are.
Topor goes down fast be careful and then you have a giant lizard that is kinda just a slow thyla
Thy can be hard to spot so bring a snow owl and it’s heat vision
They will attack/be attacked by their fellow cave dwellers, so be mindful that you have to defend them while downed. You can bola/bear trap them when they're in a safe location to pin them there.
I'd do at least half tranq darts and the rest arrows because their torpor pool is high, and hp is a bit low. Torpor drain rate is faster than a mosa, but not quite as fast as dime (or giga).
