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)

Absolutely incredible creature… half of the time. The sleep deprivation makes them utterly worthless during the day. At least they’re cute sleeping on the floor of your house, and hilariously powerful at night.

How to tame Megalosaurus(Mobile)(You could try this on pc and console I guess)

1.Be sure that the time of day you are taming this dinosaur is day, Megalosaurus are nocturnal and will gas(sprint)on you when they find you, when day, they are slow.

2.Load a crossbow with tranq arrows.

3. Get raw prime meat and raw meat.

4.Go to the Central Cave.

5.Attempt to avoid all giant insects, Onycs and Titanoboas.

6.If you see something lying down, that’s the megalo.

7.Shoot tranq arrows at Megalo.

8.When megalo falls down, immediately put meats in inventory.

9.While waiting, I recommend you hunting the other giant critters, just avoid arthropleuras. Hunt titanoboas and other insects.

10.When megalo is awake after taming it, you have tamed the rare megalosaurus!

On abberation they don't sleep and are very powerful

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

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.

Don’t wake it up but if you do, use a pistol or assault rifle and shoot it in the face

If you are playing on Ragnarok try to find Megalosaur in/nearby viking bay and in jungle nearby viking bay

I play on mobile, And I will give advice for mobile players. Megalosaurus spawns in caves. He wakes up at 20:30 game time. You need to tame him after 20:30.Otherwise, he will wake up and all taming progress will be reset.

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.

When i was exploring the island map i saw the chitin cave. I wasn't ready for the cave and i had to run out because i ran past 3 of these things. Good thing it was daytime. Go in the chitin cave during the day just saying

Super over powered and under rated, since I play on ark mobile ultimate edition these things can be found in lots of places on extiction.when taming one remember they wake up, but you should try taming From: Ant the Dino man

Found my mega near Viking bay on rag

you can find them at the cave of "artifact of the clever" they are sleepibg inside and when prepared well you can easily tame one

They yawn to let u know they are sleepy 😁

These guys can hold things such a parasaurs and argentavis in their mouth without damaging them. This is great for bringing smaller creatures to a safe taming location.

If paired with night vision googles, it makes an excellent raiding mount. Super strong and can carry other tames.

They look cute ,when they are sleeping.

Knock them out early morning (game time), they are very slow and won't wake up during taming process.In Ragnarok there is a mountain cave between lava biom and Viking bay. You can find them there .fly through sea area the cave will be easily spotted .

The aberrant versions of this dino require a lot more tranqs than the regular one, took like 15-20 arrows with a 198 damage crossbow to knock out a level 130 aberrant.

They CAN fit through double doors even though dododex says they cant
