Tips & Strategies
This is a general tip for any mobile players looking to tame one of these: head to the central cave (located between the two mountains north of the Redwoods) with a mount of your choosing (A baryonyx is very useful), and brave the cave up until you come across a megalosaurus. Then, you can either:
A.) Kill it, take its implant, and revive it in a safe location to tame
B.) KO it then and there, and tame it while in the cave
C.) Lure it out of the cave, into a trap or just into the open, and KO it.
I would highly recommend A, although you will need to have a revival platform and a large cage around it, as well as ancient amber. For less paranoid players, taming it then and there probably won't be as much of a hassle, but I personally don't like taming things in dangerous areas. Hope this helped :)
More Megalosaurus Taming & KO Tips
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.
