Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megaloceros in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Best in the game to obtain thatch. Takes 4 minutes to get a few thousand and its better than a bronto as it is able to move at a decent speed.

WARNING if they are provoked provided they will rise up and smite all who dare to attack with its mighty and only run away ability

The females are pure speed. They can't attack, however they can jump really far. I've had a few die that way. The males however, they sent as fast, still have the super jump. But they are the best thing to ever use for thatch gathering. Its worth it to get this as…

My first Deer tame was a male, i bola him, knock him out wth my fists, feed him mejoberries and keep him asleep with narcoberries

If you eat a rare flower near a female megaloceros (the one that doesn't have horns) then it will just stare into your soul as it has no melee attack.

They are very fast once taken damage from so try to hit them when they are facing a wall. If there is no walll nearby, bola is best solution.

Great tame for the obvious reasons but a muzzle would be nice since it's call noise is extremely annoying! Vote for a mute muzzle LOL 😆

Easy tame, just use bolas, trap/protect it with spike walls, feed berries, and use narcotics/narco berries to keep torpor up. I play on a small tribes server and tamed a max level in less than an hour with 3x.

The megaloceros is an excellent mount to ride into the caves , because it's able to tank damage from airborne creatures .

Information All that I know: 1. These things are speedy as heck. You need to be fast to catch one. 2. They spawn in Redwood, so be careful. Redwood is much harder to survive in, in my opinion. 3. You have to feed it berries, or anything avalible around you that is a berry, if…
