On ark mobile the males inflict a bleed effect, 1% health lost every second, lasts for 15 seconds. Up this so mobile players see this.

Mine is very powerful and makes me feel like a Canadian when I’m riding it

Don’t jump from high places as appealing as it seems because it will die! Please share to save many megaloceros lives.

These do NOT have any sort of bleed effect..

These little antlered freaks are amazing at caves, anything that flys will be hit out of the air like a WWII biplane vs. A flak cannon

These guys deserve more attention! Great harvesters, powerfull-ish if it's a high level, fun to have around, and if you are a Canadian you NEED to ride it!

Keep in mind they are fast. Not aggressive . Also, the females do not collect thatch.

It does NOT do bleed dmg on ark mobile, trust me, i have never had it do that. Hit the good button so more mobile players can see this.

Mobile players, it doesn't do any sort of bleed damage! Don't trust the guy that said 1% bleed every second!

My best tips to offer are,

1. If you have an argy use it to pick up one(it won't attack you when you pick it up)

2. Carry it to a safe place where you can ko it or where a trap is( I just chased it and and used a crossbow)

3. Feed it simple kibble for easy taming time( I used berry's and it tamed pretty quickly)

4. Watch over it and don't let anything kill it

5. Bam put a saddle on it and ride around

6. Males can attack but females can't

7. Have fun

Pls up so other people can see and if this helped you also up thank you for reading

These guys are absolute beasts, tame one as soon as u can, these guys are very versatile and can be used for scouting, travelling and killing any pest that might ruin ur day (that pest also includes lvl 90 Rex literally) my megaloceros killed one without even losing 25% health on a primitive saddle, these guys are the safest ground travellers that u could use, 👆 this is helpful

On Christmas Eve tame 7 of these and call them Santa’s reindeer and put a c4 on Rudolph’s nose

Great for thatch, I have a level 181 and about 7 high level terror birds approached him, he makes it look like art when smiting them back to hell.

DO NOT upgrade the female's melee damage. From my experience on console they do not have ANY sort of attack

If this was helpful then ^

My fastest mount. Best for taming because you can shoot tranqs from the back of it while keeping your distance. Then when the animal your taming decides it's time to turn tail and run you can chase it down and shoot tranqs at it. I love the moose! Females are fastest.

116 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Dec 28, 2021   Report

Just get your longneck and two tranq darts, hop on your argy with a friend on his/her argy and go to redwoods, get super close and shoot it, then get 20 tintoberries and feed it to the Megaloceros, the males have antlers and the females don’t have antlers, up this so all can see

They are very good combat and transport mounts. The males can attack, which allows them to gather thatch very efficiently. The females have no attack, but are a little faster, as there are no horns to weigh them down. There's also something satisfying about riding a moose. WHEEEEEEEEEE

124 points   🔧 Utility   Nov 15, 2020   Report

They should get a kick attack. Especially since the females cant do any attack. Anyone that have seen a mum deer or moose with babys know they can do a hell of a damage even though they got no antlers.
