Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megaloceros? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megaloceros.
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
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.
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!
Yes I love you
Will you be my pet
I got a apprentice saddle from a drop should I grind it or tame one of these - Ryden
It’s better if you use an arge to pick up the moose and bring it to your taming pen you built. Then tranq it out. Then you got yourself a fabulous Rudolph.
Quick tip about the megaloceros the males are the only ones that can attack while females are good for fleeing downside is they can't attack and can be killed easily hoped this helped.
All 3 died tragically. I had them come into the house because a dinosaur was attacking and they ran to the roof, jumped off and died 😭
This is how me and my friend tamed one.
1. Make a couple narcotics
2. Gather berries
3. Go to the redwoods
4. Find one and scoop up with argentavis
5. Hold it with argentavis over a safe spot and have your friend shoot it with tranq arrows every 5 seconds
6. Once knocked out feed berries and narcotics as needed!
7. Enjoy your new friend
Hope this was helpful! :D

YES! Finally learned how to breed and am know waiting for a fawn, or two, or three!
Here is a great tip for taming these. When you fly to the redwoods, MAKE YOUR FLYER AN ARGY! When you knock it out and the area seems safe, note that other creatures (purlovias, terror birbs, carnos etc) can spawn and kill your megaloceros! With an argy you can protecc your megaloceros, by killin' dem carnz, Killin' dem Terror birbz and killin' all dem tingz who come near ya moose! I was taming one while flying on my argy, and i had to kill: like a million terror birb packs, one carno and one purlovia, all to protect my moose. Her name is Sprinkle, and she is pregnant now, and safe thanks to my argy. Argy's also have great stamina, so you can hover over your megaloceros and protect it. Pteranodons can't protect very well, don't have great starting stamina etc. USE AN ARGY TO PROTECT YOUR FUTURE TAMED MOOSE! P.S One like=one hope sprinkle's future baby is female!
I tamed one when I spawned in the cold I knocked it out with fists and I died because it was cold and I was naked. But it was taming and I spwaned near it and tamed it
These make great tanks. Every one I had went the distance with almost anything! Plus they’re good no leaping and fall damage. Another difference than other tanks is this one is fast.
I was flying around and saw a pack of terror birds killing everything so while they were killing a male I led the female father away used my bola knocked her out used mejoberries but collected more and then flew her to my base
Now I am on a mobile device, and this maybe was my imagination, but while taking one of these fellas, I fed it a rare flower, it tamed a bit faster until the taming went up, so I fed it another, it helped!
Also, if you can’t find rare flowers anywhere, go to your local beaver dam and open it, beware though, the beaver will attack you for stealing stuff from their precious babies… anywho, they give you rare flowers.
Also, if you have an argintavis and a tree platform, pick it up with your argie, place it on the platform, bola it, and use TRANQ ARROWS! Tranq darts to more melee than the arrows, also the bolas only last for 30 seconds! So be quick!
Happy taming!!
You can easily tell the gender by the horns. (Horns=male, No horns= female)
Guys you can bola it and it’s a really easy knockout you can use five to ten tranq arrows with a crossbow
This guy actually collects alot of cactus sap to idk why thats on the chart
Use soybeans in prim plus for quick tame
Yes I would love to adopt you pretty please
