Im finnaly back guys! Average ARK player is back

Today we will look at the utilities and abilities of the Megalosaurus! So lets start and not waste time...

1.) BUFFS- Megalosaurus has a few tricks of its sleeve, despite being quite slugish during the day, in night you should really fear them since when its night this creature will have upgraded stats on its major stats like: Health, Melee Damage, Movement Speed. Which makes it more practically powerfull. So basically if you encounter one in night your just dead like acctually you can also find them on Mobile but only spawn in the Chamber Cave (Location: Middle of Map) and only seen in the pool of waters and near the Artifact, thats why some night tribes A.K.A (Night Raiders) often use these guys during sunset since they get their buff at 10:00 in the ARK Time.

2.) ABILITIES- Ok so lers move on to this guys abilities. So basically this creature is one of the first land dinos to pick up other creatures (not to mention the Mammoth, and Karkinos) so it could pick up a Dodo-a Baryonyx which is pretty ideal if you dont have a flier yet and best of all you can yeet them away from your jaw with a cool animation.

3.) TRIVIA (CUSTOM)- Did you know that Megalosauruses name in Old Greek Mytholigy in Latin stands for " Great Lizard"? And also did you know that Megalosaurus is the first dinosaur to be discovered! At first Scientist found a tooth which resembled like an horn/crest so they thought Megalosaurus was a 4 legged lizard but in the early 2000's we now know that Megalosaurus is a 2 Legged Carnivore.

Thats it for today guys!

Have a great day

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

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.

Best boss carnivore of The Island, maybe better than theris. This things SHREDS bosses and doesn't need that great of a saddle due to bosses not targeting it, which keep in mind they are big enough for the boss to get stuck, but small enough they don't pull aggro.

Rexes have around 1.1k base HP and 62 damage

Megalos have around 1k and 75 damage ( at night )

If you can find these at a good level, which is kinda hard considering spawn rate, locations and spawn cap of ( iirc ) 4, it is worth it to use them for bosses.

Megalos are the best Island boss killers, rexes are overrated. Just remember to start boss fights as soon as they wake up, you REALLY want to time it correctly. " What about the Dragon? " They sneak under it and since they are not it's target, just keep away with your yuty and you shouldn't need to worry about the fire breaths. The Broodmother minions can sneak up to your yuty, bring a megatherium to sit by your side and help fend them off.

Megalos are a great option for boss fights, they work on other bosses and maps too but the night limitation makes them more useful on maps with shorter fights, they also don't really do much at the TEK cave, so pump your way out of the overseer fight or bring a specialized army for it.

Tip by Vinícius. Hope this helped and gave you a great Island ( and other maps) boss creature. This took some good time to make, so, if you liked the tip, you know what to do.

Ran across what I thought was one of these sleeping while playing with my bf. We realized what it was without waking it up so we made a plan to tame it. As soon as we shot at it it jumped up and we then found that it was TWO sleeping meglos! One on top of the other!! Needless to say we still went through with our plan and managed to knock them both out… but then for some reason the game CRASHED! We’re currently heading back in to see how much, if any of our progress was saved and to do it again I guess if we have to. Wish us luck!
