If taking in southern cave around 80/50, make sure he doesn’t retreat into water. He will keep running from you, and if you knock him out he’ll drown. Try luring one into a trap.
Megalosaurus
The megalosaurus is one of the strongest therapods, but its nocturnal sleeping pattern make it significantly less effective during the day. The megalosaurus can bite and even latch onto enemies — including humans — and swing them around, hindering their ability to move. This carnivore is stronger than a Carno or a Rex at night, but during the day, it is much more slow and sluggish.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megalosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Don’t walk away at all. Watch it until done
Fast little fu..cker i lead it out of cave and hoped on my yuti this fu...cker smocked my yuti lvl 145 meg fu....cked my 311 yuti wtf
Go into the Stonehenge cave or the Chitin cave with a Bary, clear the cave (making sure to get the prime from the sneks) shoot on the back of Bary,
Put your Megalo on the lowest follow, bring out, wait till night, bring it home
In Ab, build a trap two stone doorframes high, ramp, and dino gate on other end. Get high level spino with health and aggro and have it chase you into trap. Spino can walk right through trap. Megalo gets stuck.
They live in caves.
I recommend using mutton instead of kibble, as long as you have an available supply of it.
This way you don’t need to wait and you can just feed it the first time you knock it out. Otherwise you will be stressing about the kibble. I found that a level 100 eats about 6 kibble…

I got bored of trying to find this guy so I just made this command: Summon Megalosaurus_Character_BP_C
Trust me it's worth it.
If you're on aberration and you go down one of the paths that leads into the blue zone you can find them walking around, build a 2x2 doorframe trap with a gateway on one side and lure it in for an easy knockout and tame
If you're a small mount be very cautious around these dinos, because they will knock you off of it.
A workaround for the ai’s attempts to grab attack is to stay a large distance away (though you can still see them) at all times. For whatever reason, it stops doing the grab at this range, preserving its effectiveness in boss fights.
Tested on console.
Make sure you find a permanent base when getting this guy. I’m currently trying to transport one to a new base area across map. Considering it can’t move during the day, this is a nightmare.
One thing also to note including the Night buff on Aberration, Megalos on that map also deal more damage then a normal variant.
It's impossible to tame a megalosaurus with cooked fish meat bc it's just gonna fackin wake up
Me minding my own business getting blue gems on aberration with my tek raptor. MF sneaks up behind me picks up my precious raptor and killed him 😭. Anyway i set up trap and tamed it 😗
If I see this with 200+ ups I'll tame one at night in a cave with cooked fish.
If you don’t know what this thing is (like me), then don’t wake it up. I was looking around in a cave for dung beetles and eventually I saw this thing sleeping on the floor. I thought “hey why don’t I tame this thing it looks pretty good”, so I shot a tranq arrow at…

It easy taming them on day time and fighting them on the day time they really get weak on day time
So u stay far enough from them so they’ll won’t agro on u but u can render them and u wait till day so they will be weaker and fall asleep and then when they fall asleep ko them and make sure other things don’t spawn and u can stay close to the megalo and go kill some…

At day useless because his stamina falls to fast except he is high level but at night for sneak attacks at night brilliant
