They can fit through double doors at least that is true to Xbox one players or it might have been a glitch

Be careful in caves....I swiped it with my sword thinking it was a carcass but it was sleep on the floor. Kept chopping and survived but yeah...watch it

One of the best mounts to start with in aberration

They only don’t get targeted if you tame them in a cave.

I was having too much trouble taming one in the central cave on mobile, so I just killed it and took its implant and revived it. Now it gets attacked🥲

Run when you see it at night a lvl 20 killed my 197 argy within a min

Its base damage and speed are better than a rex’s, and hit points are the same, and yet it’s a quarter of the size..? It’s damage is better than a rex, spino, and a direbear, making it one of the most powerful Dino’s in the game

Step 1. Find one in a cave unless your on aberration the trap it

Step 2. Tranq it and give it food

Step 3. Make sure it is night unless your on aberration

If it's not night the megalosaurus could be sleep deprived and won't work and will be sharply debuffed so use them at night and again unless your playing on aberration.

I hope this tip was helpful if not I hope it gave you some info on a tame you might want

This Dino is good for the central cave, no one suspected me it's like a ghillie suit and bug repellent

He live in the blue area (Maybe in other cave area) on Aberrations, but never at "surface", just becarefull ! The Megalosaurus is always buffed and can't sleep on Aberrations ! If he catch you, end is near ! (He is irradiated, so it's a nice fighter in Rock Drake nest because he don't take any radiation damage)

These guys are absolute beasts on Aberration since it’s always night.

They are a solid, go-to tame and can be bred easily to make massive packs capable of completely pulverizing Reapers and I would even recommend bringing a few mutated ones into the Rockwell bossfight.

Are these things found in the same cave as that artho/centipede creature?

6 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Jan 17, 2023   Report

This thing is rare so don’t try finding one but I just found one in the central cave so go and look there.

14 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Mar 4, 2020   Report

I found my first Megalosaurus in the Cave of the Clever... I got sandwiched between Three Megalosaurus and 2 Anthroplurea and their minions and died.

Higher melee than a Rex but sleeps during daylight best thing to do is use it at night in the day it sleeps and when you wake it up it is slow and will eventually force its self asleep

7 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Aug 5, 2022   Report

Is it just me or do they just pickup your Dino’s and one shot them?

12 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Oct 1, 2020   Report

Don’t poke it... don’t just don’t

22 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Jan 31, 2017   Report

These guys are a pain in the butt do not go in caves unless you really prepared

6 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Nov 29, 2022   Report

Can someone please tell me where to find this on the island?

7 points   🔧 Utility   Jul 23, 2022   Report

You can pick up Megalosaurus using Quetzal in Mobile as long as they are awake (idk if the same works in PC or Console)

4 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Aug 21, 2023   Report

If you’re on abb then look for high levels in the blue zone they are super common but pack a punch like a rex. Best abb boss dino for anyone looking to fo rockwell for the first time
