What are tips for megalosaurus? Tips and strategies for megalosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I recommend using 10 x soothing balm for this creature as if you do the tame time is 6 minutes for a low lvl
2 or three piece O meat for a low lvl and soothing balm.
A must have tame if you're on abberation! These guys are always awake on abberation and are comparable to a rex in power and hp so you must tame these on your abberation save of the game
Just to add my input, megalosaurus is real easy to tame, may take a little while but oviraptor kibble really works. I literally waited days to finally go out to tame one but I crafted 10x the kibble jus in case and only took 3, so I first build at least 8-9 stone pillars in front of the Megalosaurus’s emntrance to keep it from attacking you and tranq it. *MAKE SURE DAY RESETS FO MORNING BEFORE ATTEMPTING TI TAME OR IT WILL WAKE UP AND GO FULL BROLY ON YOUR ARSE* ( up this so ppl actually have a good strategy plan)
Certainly one of the most deadly carnivores on Scorched earth, grouping together into massive packs in caves killing whatever disturbs them whilst sleeping. Lives in caves to avoid harsh sunlight and massive t-rexes which could easily overpower them in day, maybe that’s why they’re weaker in day.
I dont know were to put this under so yea do not breed unless you have lots of food im imprinting one right now for me it will barely eat anything idk if it has to be night or what he seems to be eating the raw fish meat but really slowly
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.
Apparently they can spawn in the hunter cave because I encountered my first one there a few days ago when going to tame a dung beetle
Don't fight in a cave I learned that the hard way
For easy tame, use grappling hooks onto a ledge, stay grappled even after you find a good and high ledge so that you can reel down and back up when needed (Never crouch). its easy this way. Have fun
They can damage wooden structures even though the calculator says it can't. Be sure to use stone or a hill!
These creatures live in caves and have a stupid amount of health.
If you stumble across one of these sleeping during the day, take note of where it is. Once night falls it is a beast, stay very clear.
The best place to tame these are on Ragnarok in the carnivorous caverns.
Dont try taming it on surface (ragnarok) or atleast get some kibble, you need to make it really fast because they lose all the torpor at night. Mine was 87% tamed and suddenly it destroyed my friends and grabbed me, then it killed our pteras, it was a 145 lvl
