Don't use the Megalosaurus as Boss Dino. Unridden, they make 90% less damage!
Megalosaurus
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.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megalosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Extremely easy to tame with tranq darts.just go tame it in the daytime
Damages wood structures. App is wrong. Use a stone taming pen.

When raising one from an egg it is best to have it on follow that way when you're feeding it it will not sleep it will go unconscious but you can continue to feed it while it's unconscious and when it wakes up it repeats the whole process over again because if it falls asleep and you feed it you'll notice your food goes down so fast this is my best way to raise a BABY
If paired with night vision googles, it makes an excellent raiding mount. Super strong and can carry other tames.

“It’s Just A Rock” I said, few seconds later, i was eaten.
You can find these in cave under volcano they are sleeping in cave, yeah sleeping you can go past them they don't get up until you hit em
Megalosaurus are the giga of the night troodon is the rex
Remember that it has to go to sleep from time to time so don’t go into a raid or massive fight with it until you check the time when it needs to sleep you can let it sleep whenever you want so you don’t have to always wait for the timer
yo i guess on old ark mobile he aint wake up until hes tamed so no more double knocking out needed on mobile i hope
If you make the best mutations for meg alo, it might do even more then syntac's perfect thylacaleo, misteque, (sorry if I spelled it wrong,) so it's recommended to start mutating yo Megs.
On ark mobile you can only find them in the middle chamber and maybe dungeons
If a creature or player becomes bugged out in its mouth (i accidentally grabbed a player and a pter in one bite, refused to drop the pter) simply tranq whatever it is holding to sleep, it will drop it.
Starve it because it will wake up when it turns night and you will have to knock it out again, but it's food will still decline like it was when you first knocked it out.
On mobile it only takes 3-6 tranq darts to knock it out
Fun fact: for all the admins in mobile, if you level something up ~* While it's unconscious and you have put food in it *~ The dino will start eating automatically (works for everything)
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…
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! :-)

I may be a bit late in submitting this tip, but if the Megalosaurus wakes up from torpor-inflicted sleep, the taming progress does not disappear. However, if you do not knock it out quick enough the taning effectiveness drops very quickly once it has actually been knocked out a second time, so bring taming food immediately before knockout (maybe when it's torpor running). Also, don't use sanguine until food is in it's inventory for the second knockout as the 30% drops very quickly
Probably the easiest apex creature to tame on abberation. It is much stronger than the spino at the cost of being vulnerable to more creatures.
Don't tame one in the transition of day-night. I was feeding him kibble, he was about to be tamed and darkness fell... He got up, I had to re-tranq him and even though he didn't lose a lot of the taming bar, my kibble disappeared :(
