ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

Imo one of the hardest tames in Ark, especially on the island (he is 3 times on the map to the same time and possible spawns are upper and lower south cave, central cave, carno cave and lava cave and he is very hard to see because he sleeps during the day)…but he is really worth every second of taming, my personally favorite…
If you find one be prepared that you just get him out of 2 caves on the island (lower south and central cave or you tame 2 in the others and breed an egg) or maybe through glitches
For fighting: knock him out when night starts, sounds stupid because he is much stronger then…but if you use a grappling hook on he spot where he can’t attack you…you can knock him out easily...the good thing is that he sleeps through the morning till it gets night again, so he won’t wake up that fast and maybe you just need to shoot him down for one time...but if you knock him out during day, be prepared to knock him out again when it becomes night again…good luck survivor! :-)
More Megalosaurus Utility Tips
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.
The megalosaurus is one of the strongest therapods, but its nocturnal sleeping pattern make it significantly less effective during the day. The megalosaurus can bite and even latch onto enemies — including humans — and swing them around, hindering their ability to move. This carnivore is stronger than a Carno or a Rex at night, but during the day, it is much more slow and sluggish.~Steel Cookie 123
The Grizzly bears of Ark on the island. These dinosaurs may be hard to find on moblie devices, on moblie this thing is only found sleeping in caves. Cave of the clever is the most frequent spawn of this guy. DO NOT TAME AT DARK: they are twice as fast and can murder mounts as fast as a arthropluera ( the giant centipede ) also be careful as while its sleeping, it may look like a rock, make sure not to jump on a “ rock “ with a few tufts of fur.
