Tips & Strategies

If you tame it on crystal isles, you have to spot it at night first, and then wait for the next night while you preparing for the food and the trap. The night time on crystal isles start at 20.38 server time. You have to immediate knock it out. If the taming time is more than 1hrs(which is 1 night+1day server time), you have to put at least 3/4 amount of their required food. Because no matter how you try to maintain the torpor, when the night time come, they will wake up. So you must knock it out again, and put the food again with the same amount. Donβt worry, the taming progress will continue and you wont lose the taming effectiveness . Good luck.

If you play abberation tame on. Due to it always being half day, half night it gains it's night buff all the time. This making it sooo much better than it usually is.
Now you dont lose the taming progress when they wake Up!!! Devs fixed that. You can re-knock em down again with no loss of effectiveness or taming progress! Dec 2021
Don't put kibble on until it's fully starved! It will wake up when it transitions to night (20:30) and you'll lose your kibble.
I went to the central cave and knocked out a level 300 female megalo, but it went into the water before unconsious and then died there due to oxygen. Now I have it's implant of level 300. Should I revive it with the cost of 31 Amber's? Is it any worth to invest that much of ambers for it? If yes then up and if no then down.
Do people even tame these dinos anymore. They are amazing but don't get the recognition they deserve.
Make this more popular if you want the megalosaurus to be noticed more.
If u donβt let them sleep then their torpor will increase and will fall unconscious hope you found this helpful
Tame the mega during the day! It is extremly slower during the day due to wanting a rest. It is a very strong dino, it has been tested to be even stronger than the allo! Be careful if you tame it at night ;) caw
People say that is easy taming on day rather than night, but thats not truth because they always wake up, no matter how much torpor they have at 20:30 in game, that will cause you to lose all your taming process, I always tame these guys by starving them 2 times and then the 3rd knockout I put the food on its inventory, thanks for reading
On the Center, I have normally found that they often spawn at the enterance of the cave by the pond at around 56 lon, 62 lat. Updoot so others can see!
It's easier to tame one during the day, since they will be sluggish. Find one in the Chitin Cave, and shoot it while it's sleeping.
