Tips & Strategies

What are tips for megalosaurus? Tips and strategies for megalosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Im finnaly back guys! Average ARK player is back
Today we will look at the utilities and abilities of the Megalosaurus! So lets start and not waste time...
1.) BUFFS- Megalosaurus has a few tricks of its sleeve, despite being quite slugish during the day, in night you should really fear them since when its night this creature will have upgraded stats on its major stats like: Health, Melee Damage, Movement Speed. Which makes it more practically powerfull. So basically if you encounter one in night your just dead like acctually you can also find them on Mobile but only spawn in the Chamber Cave (Location: Middle of Map) and only seen in the pool of waters and near the Artifact, thats why some night tribes A.K.A (Night Raiders) often use these guys during sunset since they get their buff at 10:00 in the ARK Time.
2.) ABILITIES- Ok so lers move on to this guys abilities. So basically this creature is one of the first land dinos to pick up other creatures (not to mention the Mammoth, and Karkinos) so it could pick up a Dodo-a Baryonyx which is pretty ideal if you dont have a flier yet and best of all you can yeet them away from your jaw with a cool animation.
3.) TRIVIA (CUSTOM)- Did you know that Megalosauruses name in Old Greek Mytholigy in Latin stands for " Great Lizard"? And also did you know that Megalosaurus is the first dinosaur to be discovered! At first Scientist found a tooth which resembled like an horn/crest so they thought Megalosaurus was a 4 legged lizard but in the early 2000's we now know that Megalosaurus is a 2 Legged Carnivore.
Thats it for today guys!
Have a great day
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.
I've seen them in the central cave on the island.
This Dino is found in the cave in between volcano in big mountain. It’s not that hard to find in mobile.
Ran across what I thought was one of these sleeping while playing with my bf. We realized what it was without waking it up so we made a plan to tame it. As soon as we shot at it it jumped up and we then found that it was TWO sleeping meglos! One on top of the other!! Needless to say we still went through with our plan and managed to knock them both out… but then for some reason the game CRASHED! We’re currently heading back in to see how much, if any of our progress was saved and to do it again I guess if we have to. Wish us luck!
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
Do NOT TRY TAMING JUST BEFORE DARK! I've tried taming one of these and when it turned night, it lost its torpidity all at once, woke up, and murdered my mount.
I had trouble figuring out if aberration made it that megalos woke up during taming or not. To clarify the do not.
In ARK ultimate mobile edition they can spawn in the hunter cave, very rare tho i've stepped on one accidentally.
Eats kibble at 135 instead of 80. Tame bar does stay if it wakes up, but it's possible to lose your kibble. Be careful.
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.
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.
You should probably run if you step on them. Especially when you jump on the “rock”
I found mine sleeping in the jungle near vikings bay on the ragnarok map.
For some reason if you block it with a dino (in mobile), it doesn't attack it and will instead try to escape from it (like a taming trap basically lol). Did this with my baryonix and I tamed 2 using the method. Tho my bary died during the second one. :(
⏫ So noobs can see
- Mr. Anon
I accidentally mistaken it to be a rock and it looked weird so I attacked it and killed a 150 so please if you're looking for one keep a good look out
1. Yes it will wake up every single night instantly at 20:30 server time
2.. It can be re-knocked out each time to continue taming, the progress WILL stay. This is what the devs made happen with their "fix", making it look like the waking up is a intentional part of the tame and a wanted feature for it by them.
3. When it wakes up everything in inventory gets deleted, you need to take food out before this happens.
4. 3 hour starve tame is the way to go pretty much, no narcotics needed as torpidity goes really slow, just keep knocking out.
Hope this helps <3
