What is a megalania used for? megalania battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I love these guys. Don't think of them as standard battle mounts. I use mine to have a really fun time tracking and hunting down creatures in the Ragnarok canyon. Because you can shoot from it's saddle, you can wait to ambush potentially dangerous creatures from the walls and bridges. By far my favorite hunting mount.
Brought 6 to abberation. 3 males 3 females. Felt absolutely broken but that’s how you get rock drakes with fully imprinted speed and Stam mutation. And if you are in abberation, recommend get it at megalania beach in rag and tame all of them. Don’t mind the level because they are all OP as hell. Now I am the alpha with tons of rock drakes and reapers all because of these guys. Have one fully purple and imprinted. And for some reason was in abberant form. Some glitch maybe.
Hope this was helpful;)
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.
