Tips & Strategies
To battle and escape the megalosaurus you need very strong armor, a giant trap, and some nice arrows to knock it out. If you want to tame it, you need very strong armor to protect yourself. Then you need a giant trap a bunch of tranq Arrows Wait, 3 to 5 seconds before you shoot another arrow. Make sure to have multiple traps just in case escapes. I’ve learned from my mistakes. Trust me. ( you died from a lvl 150 megalosaurus)😭😭😭😭😭
When I tried to trap a Megalosaurus,it literally fazed its way through the stone door.(my honest reaction 🤔🤨💀)
It's easier to tame one during the day, since they will be sluggish. Find one in the Chitin Cave, and shoot it while it's sleeping.
I tamed one. It just sleeps all the time
How do they know if it’s day or night on the island if they spend all of their time sleeping in caves?
Just so everyone on mobile knows megalos spawn in the middle chamber cave I found out the hard way after falling on one.
During the day, these giant beasts are gonna be sleepin, and they will also be slow, I’ve learned that thanks to taming one, and how it acts on the days and nights, so if it’s the day, raid the cave for the intelligent 👍
Only true savage will try to tame this with cooked fish meat.
Be ready to knock it out twice on for the day and then again at night. It does keep the food level you had it at right before it go up for the night.
Day: Have a flying tame ready. Tranq it, fly somewhere high (a cliff or rock or smth it can’t get on), keep shooting until it runs. Make sure not to lose sight and keep shooting it until it goes to sleep.
Night: have a flying tame ready (one you can shoot while on it), tranq it, and do the same as day.
Incase nobody told you, this guy will grab your argy right out of the air, knocking you off the bird, then proceed to eat your bird in front of you. Un-bothered. Reason #1 to always pack ammo. Hind sight.
This Dino is found in the cave in between volcano in big mountain. It’s not that hard to find in mobile.
Taming megalo on ragnarok
1. Find a sleepy boi in the Viking bay
2. wait until it is exactly morning
3. use tranqs (for low level ones you can throw boomerangs at them to ko then)
4. feed it lots of stimulant (it’s torpor drops slooooow so you can starve it out easy
5. get mutton or prime
6. Profit
I've seen them in the central cave on the island.
While its day time u could trap it while it is sleeping
When taming a high level megalosaurus, you need to put down right when night starts. It sounds counterproductive because it's stronger, but it allows for maximum starve time since you will need to put it down again the following night. If you don't do it this way, you may end up needing to put it down a third time, which could very likely be the death of it since it won't regain any health over that time.
Also, tame with a friend because the megalosaurus will pick you up into its jaws which makes it very hard to do solo without dying. Your tribe mate can attack the Dino and cause him to drop you.
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.
