ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
1. Find one sleeping in the daytime
2. Go take about 50 tranqs and a crossbow
3. Shoot it, run for a bit, shoot it again (must be dine in daytime, they are a lot slower, don't get too close, it will pick you up and then there won't be any escape)
4. Let it lay unconscious til the next day and get some prime meat/mutton (don't come at night, it wakes up even if it was unconscious)
5. Knock it out again
6. Put the meat in its inventory, many hunger will be gone and it will tame realy fast.
7. Enjoy your night tame (I used this strategy to tame my 130, its bite did about 350 points of damage and had 6000 health, really good to farm leather, meat and carry small animals)
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.
Day: Have a flying tame ready. Tranq it, fly somewhere high (a cliff or rock or smth it canβt get on), keep shooting until it runs. Make sure not to lose sight and keep shooting it until it goes to sleep.
Night: have a flying tame ready (one you can shoot while on it), tranq it, and do the same as day.
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
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.
I jumped on top of a sleeping one thinking it was a rock...
Find one sleeping, tranq it, run, tranq again until unconscious. I totally thought mine was going to wake up once the sun set, and I was about to pee myself when it didnβt wake up. Theyβre not hard to tameβ¦ itβs just scary to go in caves.
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.
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
