Tips & Strategies
Whatever you do, do not get close to it with pretty much any medium dinos or fliers because these thing can pick up fricking argies and monch them to death so keep a good distance between them, you and your tames. Trust me on this i lost a lot of things to these monsters.
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.
I tamed one. It just sleeps all the time
How do they know if it’s day or night on the island if they spend all of their time sleeping in caves?
Just so everyone on mobile knows megalos spawn in the middle chamber cave I found out the hard way after falling on one.
Only true savage will try to tame this with cooked fish meat.
Incase nobody told you, this guy will grab your argy right out of the air, knocking you off the bird, then proceed to eat your bird in front of you. Un-bothered. Reason #1 to always pack ammo. Hind sight.
Be ready to knock it out twice on for the day and then again at night. It does keep the food level you had it at right before it go up for the night.
Taming megalo on ragnarok
1. Find a sleepy boi in the Viking bay
2. wait until it is exactly morning
3. use tranqs (for low level ones you can throw boomerangs at them to ko then)
4. feed it lots of stimulant (it’s torpor drops slooooow so you can starve it out easy
5. get mutton or prime
6. Profit
This Dino is found in the cave in between volcano in big mountain. It’s not that hard to find in mobile.
These guys can be introduced to you on The Island and Scorched Earth within caves. During day they sleep by night they are awake. They are much more of a threat if you encounter them on Aberration as they are awake all the time like any other dino. They are kind of like an allo with kapro’s grab. Megalos are primarily found within Aberration’s red and blue zones.
I've seen them in the central cave on the island.
While its day time u could trap it while it is sleeping
When taming a high level megalosaurus, you need to put down right when night starts. It sounds counterproductive because it's stronger, but it allows for maximum starve time since you will need to put it down again the following night. If you don't do it this way, you may end up needing to put it down a third time, which could very likely be the death of it since it won't regain any health over that time.
Also, tame with a friend because the megalosaurus will pick you up into its jaws which makes it very hard to do solo without dying. Your tribe mate can attack the Dino and cause him to drop you.
Do NOT TRY TAMING JUST BEFORE DARK! I've tried taming one of these and when it turned night, it lost its torpidity all at once, woke up, and murdered my mount.
You should probably run if you step on them. Especially when you jump on the “rock”
Tons of them in the central chamber in ark mobile.
