Tips & Strategies
SINCE WHEN CAN THESE GUYS SPAWN IN RAGNAROK VIKING BAY
Tame them during the day or else they will wake up instantly
Encounter at night? RUN
When taming a Megalosaurus make sure you knock it our first thing in the morning. Do not put Raw meat or Kibble on it inventory right away (let it starve). If you plan to tame a high lvl one make a trap for it and let it starve all day. They wake up at night. No matter how much narcotics you put on this creation it WILL wake up. Do not attack it, wait for it to be day time. Get it unconscious again and wait again for it to starve. Once you reache your starving goal feed it before it gets dark again. Taming isn't hard if you have the time and patience for it. The Megalosaurus sleeps all day and wakes up at night. Have fun taming one!
Sorry for this not being much of a tip, but this IS useful for some people to know. The megalosaurus is virtually useless during the day, and is a decent mount when not burdened by debuffs, so don't spend your time trying to tame one unless you really need a mount that won't always be usable. I tamed one and barely use it for those reasons, it just isn't always convenient.
Always tame at day ! It’s easier in day than night 🤓!
These are no joke a level 15 killed my 240 wolf in well under a minute, use extreme caution when around them
DO NOT TAME CLOSE TO NIGHT TIME! We knocked this guy out with tranq arrows in the early afternoon of the game. He was about a third of the way tamed and had only lost 10 points of consciousness - when he stood up! Legitimately got up and decided to chow down on my Parasaur like it was a chew toy!?!? He woke up and chose violence- he was not going to be tamed today.
Scared the literal crap out of me.
Useful tip for everyone: Ark’s day and night cycle is 1 hour in real life (on normal settings).
That means if you shoot the dinosaur right out at 8:30 p.m., it will wake up in real time in one hour at 8:30 p.m. the next day. For each past hour you have to subtract 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Example: you knocked him out at 10:30 p.m. -> he will wake up in 60 minutes - 2,5 - 2,5 = 55 minutes
At level 26, it is the first time that the Megalosaurus needs more than an hour to be tamed.. So be prepared to knock him out twice or three times
People say they are so difficult to tame. Just knock it out through the day you’ll more than likely out run it, found mines in a juggle ran down to the beach so no saber would see me n I knocked it out. Simple?🫠
