So I found a pretty silver one and I tamed it. Then I had to leave the game, though. When I came back it was brown. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, can you tell me how to turn her back to normal?
My favorite cave mount. I have been breeding them for months, my 776 melee outputs as much damage as a wyvern bite at 500 melee, plus bleed. Put an MC or better saddle on one and it will wreck any cave. They absorb otherwise rider inflicted damage, they can jump to clear gaps, they're fast, they output massive damage, and can hit more than one target at once with their attack. What's not to love? (Low health and weight which also makes them painstaking in baby stage)
Wait till they start breeding then disable wandering. I got twins my first time and both my females got pregnant first time. Feed babies berries

So annoying as a baby... the sounds they make make you want to kick them into next year where they'll be grown up
KEEP IN MIND!!! THE FEMALES DONT HAVE AN ATTACK BUTTON!!! ONLY THE MALES DO!!!
Best way to tame these guys is with a bola and a tranqs, then use mejo berries.
After that you have a really great gatherer of thatch, and a great speedy mount.
Keep them away from cliffs
How to tame: Megaloceros
You will need: Argy with saddle, a bola, berries and a base fairly close to the redwoods. (maybe in southern islets?) Step 1: Hop on your argy and fly to the redwoods. Step 2: Find a female megaloceros with no creatures charging at it or attacking it. Step 3: Pick up the female megaloceros. Step 4: Land at your usual stamina regain spots. Note that whenever you land, you will drop the megaloceros. Make sure to pick it up again. Step 5: Once you're at your base, if you have spike walls surronding it, put the megaloceros in the middle so it won't die. Step 6: Bola it, knock it unconsious with your fists, and give it berries (50 is good, but if you have a berry plant, take all the berries from that plant and put it in the megaloceros' inventory.) Step 7: Wait until it's tamed. At your base, it's safe. Step 8: Name it, and i reccomend to breed females to get strong males, and fight with males. Don't get your males killed! Also keep females to keep the cooldown at bay. Please ^ if this was helpful!
To tame a Megaloceros, I would try to tame an Argentavis and carry it to somewhere warm. Assuming you have plenty of Mejoberries from any berry collector, or even by hand, or you could have Dimorphodon kibble you can begin taming. I would suggest using a bola, because these guys like to run. With a few tranquil arrows to their head they would be out quick. These guys don't usually need much narcotics. The megaloceros is amazing at collecting thatch, and they have a bleed effect, which is great for pvp and killing dinos.
Yes I love you
Will you be my pet
Right away Ima say the Female Version is completely useless, unless you’re mating them, other than that useless. The Male Version is a different story. They collect thatch and somewhat wood. Really good runners and they do pretty good damage like for example my Megalocero only does 55 damage(I have only upgraded weight and health and a bit of stamina) when you first attack something you do the basic damage but every attack after that it actually does twice the amount of damage because from each hit it strikes your opponent twice. Great animal to tame. -V
I got a apprentice saddle from a drop should I grind it or tame one of these - Ryden
