Encountering Tips
How do I kill a megalosaurus? megalosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
You should probably run if you step on them. Especially when you jump on the “rock”
During the day, they are very sluggish and attack slow. At night they are a frightening sight with much higher speed and attack. Beware when encountering them at night.
Pet it or draw a mustache on its face and then get the hell out of the cave
Can be found in Carno island cave, south west lava cave, south east cave near Stonehenge, Central cave near volcano, and possibly others. They are very rare spawns but if checked regularly you can encounter them if looking to tame.
QUETZALS CAN PICK THESE DOODS UP BHT ONLY ONES THAT ARE AWAKE IT WONT SHOW UP ON DODODEX SO SPREAD THE WORD!!
(Ark mobile) They can be found in the cave to the east of the volcano around loc 40, 46 ish. I just found one past the first set of bugs and snakes. All curled up.
I found mine sleeping in the jungle near vikings bay on the ragnarok map.
SINCE WHEN CAN THESE GUYS SPAWN IN RAGNAROK VIKING BAY
Encounter at night? RUN
These are no joke a level 15 killed my 240 wolf in well under a minute, use extreme caution when around them
When they sleep just remain calm don’t wake them they are like cats fine when asleep but when awake are savages they are always awake if they are aberrant variant so all you need includes bola a friend and speed so you can BOLA YOUR TRIBEMATE AND RUN if you miss just make sure you have a higher speed stat as ark once told me
You do not need to be faster than the dinos only your friends
Fun fact:if you jump on one they wake up. And if you’re on it’s back u live if not opposite.
On aberration, megalosaurus normally stay in one place unless they see another Dino, so if you are trying to get a quick megalo tame set up a small trap and then shoot the megalosaurus
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
Found my mega near Viking bay on rag
I was just playing around in creative mode when all of a sudden a megalosaurus starts chasing me.. I’m riding on an arthropluera and I get off the arthro to put it on a cryopod, as I do that the megalosaurus grabs my arthro and shows it to me like it’s a little boy getting a toy on Christmas... I watch my arthro fall to the floor, and to avenge it I will tame this mighty beast and lock it in a prison for my fallen arthro.
Watch out they will grab your flyer, throw you off it, and whip the flyer around in the air like a dog with a rag!
“It’s Just A Rock” I said, few seconds later, i was eaten.
To anyone who finds these in Viking bay on rag, they don’t spawn there but there’s a nearby cave that they do spawn at and they wander off into the actual Viking bay
They will knock you off your mount if you look at them too closely. (They're very self-conscious.)
