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! :-)

Completely useless during the day, and extremely powerful during the night. I personally think these things need to sleep less, but I like the fact that it curls up on your floor and sleeps. And it’s very fuzzy, which is adorable. Mine was hard to come by, as I HATE caves. Totally worth it, though.

It’s very rare, but I think they spawn in Vikings bay on ragnarok, because I was killed by one in that little bone thingy

Absolutely tame these guys during the day. Yes they wake up but they move much more slowly and seem to have a less powerful attack, although don’t quote me on that. I can tell you for sure that every time i tried knocking one out whilst it was awake at night, it tore through my armour me and then my tame faster than I could squeK

Do not leave ark while taming this,the cave will reset and it will gone!,from my experience,aw man,at least I find one with higher level :)

Damages wood structures. App is wrong. Use a stone taming pen.

See a light brown fuzzy looking rock?

Thats a sleeping Megalosaurus.

Be careful! These guys can grab argents. I didn't expect him to be able to grab something that big. I thought it was small dinos only. I boxed him in at a cliff face with 2 behemoth gates and started shooting, but somehow he scaled the small cliff face and snatched my passive level 256 argie up into his mouth and didn't let go until she was dead.

Best way to tame them on the spot is with raw prime

Titanoboas tend to spawn near them,knock out the megalosaur,kill the titanoboas, feed the megalosaur the prime meat and boom you got yourself a dino shaker 9000

These guys are absolute beasts on Aberration since it’s always night.

They are a solid, go-to tame and can be bred easily to make massive packs capable of completely pulverizing Reapers and I would even recommend bringing a few mutated ones into the Rockwell bossfight.

The Megalosaurus is very good for fighting the Dragon, possible better than the Therizinosaurs, when you bring them to the Dragon fight, they don't get attacked by the dragon, the dragon only locks onto, allowing them to deal damage without dying, to do this properly I would suggest riding a tanky Therizinosaur just in case and bring 19 megalosauruses (or 18 if you want a Yutyrannus, just make sure the Yutyrannus is following your Therizinosaur while on passive with "ignore whistles" activated) you could even do alpha dragon with megalosauruses if they're strong enough (NOTE: MAKE SURE IT IS NIGHT TIME WHEN YOU SUMMON THE DRAGON OR THE MEGALOSAURUSES WILL TICKLE HIM)

This is guy is op when night..like batman lol :)

Just eat some shadow steak(to see clearly at dark)then u and ur Megalosaurus will be hero of Gotham but on ark.like batman and robin

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.

Just knock them out when they are already asleep. It’s like waking someone up and saying “It’s time for bed” but it’s probably the most effective method. Just regular tranq and meat tame the end.

They can fit through double doorways, don't build your trap out of them on abberation

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.

If you’re on abb then look for high levels in the blue zone they are super common but pack a punch like a rex. Best abb boss dino for anyone looking to fo rockwell for the first time

One of the best mounts to start with in aberration

If breeding make sure to have lots and lots of meat stored. Must be awake at all times because when sleeping it won't eat and starves. Let it knock itself out to raise.

They can fit through double doors at least that is true to Xbox one players or it might have been a glitch
