Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megaloceros? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megaloceros.
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

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
I’ve seen nobody say this but you can bola them, im taming a lvl 100 and I just used a bola and 3 trank darts
Funny story, just recently I tamed myself one of these. Before I left base I crafted the saddle for it in my smithy then made my way to the snow biome. (Yes, I know there is deer in the redwoods too I just didn’t want to have to deal with raptors and terror birds), anyways so I tame the deer, and put the saddle in its inventory, only to realize I crafted a megalosaurus saddle instead of a megalaceros saddle lol 😂
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
Please note that females do not attck AT ALL. Boost speed, stam and weight and theyre the best mule ever though...
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.
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.
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 you don't have one. 4. These things can eat eggs if they are tamed. Fr, literal dino eggs if they are tamed. 5. You got to be strong, because these deers also can have health that can take long to take down. 6. Try not to kill em, they make good pets in my opinion. -Mobile, 2022, TinaZ. You dont need much, its very simple to knock em out.
Bola it it’s a deer a literal DEER YOU THINK IT NOT BOUND AWAY BOLA IT
Good for getting the thatch to crank out those costly gates

They are Very fast so fast you wouldn't whant to fly off of a cliff like i did
If you are a starter and you don’t want to die of dangerous dinos get full clothes cloth or hide so you don’t freeze to death and bola the megalosaurus then you nock it out with a club or a bow of tranq arrows or your fists once it is unconscious feed it berry’s or kibble I hope my tip helps.
To tame one of these you will need to bola it because they run really fast.Once you have bolaed it shot it with tranq arrows
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
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
I got a apprentice saddle from a drop should I grind it or tame one of these - Ryden
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!
