If you're a small mount be very cautious around these dinos, because they will knock you off of it.

A workaround for the ai’s attempts to grab attack is to stay a large distance away (though you can still see them) at all times. For whatever reason, it stops doing the grab at this range, preserving its effectiveness in boss fights.

Tested on console.

Make sure you find a permanent base when getting this guy. I’m currently trying to transport one to a new base area across map. Considering it can’t move during the day, this is a nightmare.

One thing also to note including the Night buff on Aberration, Megalos on that map also deal more damage then a normal variant.

(Day time technique)...You can KO the Mega by keeping it awake, just bump into it with your caving Dino (don't attack) and lead it toward the mouth of the cave.

It will want to fall asleep multiple times, Continue to wake it up and it will eventually get Knocked out.

The benefit is that it's heath won't drop, so it allows you to tame higher lvl Megas with tranq arrows vs darts... for the second and sometimes third time you have to KO the beast. (Multiple KO required due to it waking up at 20:30 every night, they fall back asleep at around 5:15)

If running home during the day they can be found drowning in the river after passong out....

Tame it with tranquilizer dart, the tranq arrow will kill him if you tame it with prime or raw meat. It will always wake up at 20:30 you just have to re-tranq it and the taming bar will always be there. If you want it to starve you just have to do the same thing and the food will stay the same.

These boys are gud, strong n gud, can kill things if you attack them

When breeding babies consume at a high rate. 3 raw meat for every .02 increase in weight. Constant feeding required.

It may be smart to tame at the beggining of night if you have regular taming settings because it will wake up at the transition from day to night.

Bring 2 wolves in the morning, make a blockade then shoot it with darts.. let the wolves take the damage

Better to ko it at beging of night so they sleep threw night an the next day don't bother using narcotic its going to wake up anyway and you have to ko it again

Kibble gives 135 food instead of 80 food like all the others

Try knocking it out during day for this Dino's gets a speed and attack buff during the night

When night hit while under and full torpor, it woke up. Had to retranq it, so starve tame and be ready.

It will still wake up at 8.30 server time at night even during taming shoot it down asap to keep your taming bar.

They are good for night raids against other medium dinos, but the because of the debuff during the day id still rather have an allosaurus

This is one of my favorite dinosaurs so plz don’t kill

If you see one awake jump into water, they are very slow swimmers and can’t attack in water, just be careful cave waters always have a lot of piranhas and often sarcos too

The cave under Viking Bay on Ragnarok you can use wyverns. As soon as night hits, stand on wyvern and shoot the Megalosaurus hop off and run underneath your wyvern. They don't take many darts and won't be able to attack you underneath your wyvern. Easy work!
