During the day, they are very sluggish and attack slow. At night they are a frightening sight with much higher speed and attack. Beware when encountering them at night.

I found mine sleeping in the jungle near vikings bay on the ragnarok map.

Can be found in Carno island cave, south west lava cave, south east cave near Stonehenge, Central cave near volcano, and possibly others. They are very rare spawns but if checked regularly you can encounter them if looking to tame.

I had trouble figuring out if aberration made it that megalos woke up during taming or not. To clarify the do not. Try to get this to the top to let people know

Can be used to wreck a Rex. How does a carno sized Dino wreck a Rex? Dunno

Found my mega near Viking bay on rag people need to see this so ^vote

Encounter at night? RUN

These are no joke a level 15 killed my 240 wolf in well under a minute, use extreme caution when around them

Imo one of the hardest tames in Ark, especially on the island (he is 3 times on the map to the same time and possible spawns are upper and lower south cave, central cave, carno cave and lava cave and he is very hard to see because he sleeps during the day)…but he is really worth every second of taming, my personally favorite…

If you find one be prepared that you just get him out of 2 caves on the island (lower south and central cave or you tame 2 in the others and breed an egg) or maybe through glitches

For fighting: knock him out when night starts, sounds stupid because he is much stronger then…but if you use a grappling hook on he spot where he can’t attack you…you can knock him out easily...the good thing is that he sleeps through the morning till it gets night again, so he won’t wake up that fast and maybe you just need to shoot him down for one time...but if you knock him out during day, be prepared to knock him out again when it becomes night again…good luck survivor! :-)

They are at night really good and have a buff but on Day they have to sleep. When u ride them on Day they will lose stamina and torpor is growing fast.

Extremely good for night raiding, if of course you manage to find one AND tame it

When out at night, be sure to take this with a raft or quetzal with platform, so when it is tired, you can get it back to base without it being attacked. Just a tip to ensure that your prized Megalosaurus doesn't die whilst you are out.

On abberation they don't sleep and are very powerful

Imo the most underestimated creature (only use him during night) great for farming leather, great dps, great meat and prime meat farmer and very funny to grab other creatures with rightclick and eat them very fast...give this dinosaur an own TV show

you can find them at the cave of "artifact of the clever" they are sleepibg inside and when prepared well you can easily tame one

Wakes up at night automatically

Only found one on ragnarok lvl 50 by the ribcage cave at viking bay

When raising one from an egg it is best to have it on follow that way when you're feeding it it will not sleep it will go unconscious but you can continue to feed it while it's unconscious and when it wakes up it repeats the whole process over again because if it falls asleep and you feed it you'll notice your food goes down so fast this is my best way to raise a BABY

These guys can hold things such a parasaurs and argentavis in their mouth without damaging them. This is great for bringing smaller creatures to a safe taming location.

They will knock you off your mount if you look at them too closely. (They're very self-conscious.)
