Tips & Strategies
KO them at the beginning of daylight, right when they're supposed to sleep and starve them. They will wake up depending on level so be prepared to KO them again. Don't worry, they keep the amount starved unless you let them kill and eat something. But remember not to keep any materials on them until fully starved or those items will be lost when it wakes up. (It always wakes up at around 20:30). They're pretty fun at night, but trash during the day. Watch out for the "Sleep Bar" number if you're carrying it back to your base as you can't carry them when they're sleeping. Good luck out there, and be careful. They will destroy you and your tames. Distance is to be kept.
More Megalosaurus Taming & KO Tips
If you play abberation tame on. Due to it always being half day, half night it gains it's night buff all the time. This making it sooo much better than it usually is.
Now you dont lose the taming progress when they wake Up!!! Devs fixed that. You can re-knock em down again with no loss of effectiveness or taming progress! Dec 2021
I went to the central cave and knocked out a level 300 female megalo, but it went into the water before unconsious and then died there due to oxygen. Now I have it's implant of level 300. Should I revive it with the cost of 31 Amber's? Is it any worth to invest that much of ambers for it? If yes then up and if no then down.
I jumped on top of a sleeping one thinking it was a rock...
Don't put kibble on until it's fully starved! It will wake up when it transitions to night (20:30) and you'll lose your kibble.
Find one sleeping, tranq it, run, tranq again until unconscious. I totally thought mine was going to wake up once the sun set, and I was about to pee myself when it didnβt wake up. Theyβre not hard to tameβ¦ itβs just scary to go in caves.
Do people even tame these dinos anymore. They are amazing but don't get the recognition they deserve.
Make this more popular if you want the megalosaurus to be noticed more.
If u donβt let them sleep then their torpor will increase and will fall unconscious hope you found this helpful
Tame the mega during the day! It is extremly slower during the day due to wanting a rest. It is a very strong dino, it has been tested to be even stronger than the allo! Be careful if you tame it at night ;) caw
People say that is easy taming on day rather than night, but thats not truth because they always wake up, no matter how much torpor they have at 20:30 in game, that will cause you to lose all your taming process, I always tame these guys by starving them 2 times and then the 3rd knockout I put the food on its inventory, thanks for reading
