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)
Day: Have a flying tame ready. Tranq it, fly somewhere high (a cliff or rock or smth it can’t 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.
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.
When I tried to trap a Megalosaurus,it literally fazed its way through the stone door.(my honest reaction 🤔🤨💀)
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.
Completely useless during the day, and extremely powerful during the night. I personally think these things need to sleep less, but I like the fact that it curls up on your floor and sleeps. And it’s very fuzzy, which is adorable. Mine was hard to come by, as I HATE caves. Totally worth it, though.
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.
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.
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.
Pet it or draw a mustache on its face and then get the hell out of the cave
I've seen them in the central cave on the island.
While its day time u could trap it while it is sleeping
