Damages wood structures. App is wrong. Use a stone taming pen.

When raising one from an egg it is best to have it on follow that way when you're feeding it it will not sleep it will go unconscious but you can continue to feed it while it's unconscious and when it wakes up it repeats the whole process over again because if it falls asleep and you feed it you'll notice your food goes down so fast this is my best way to raise a BABY

If you make the best mutations for meg alo, it might do even more then syntac's perfect thylacaleo, misteque, (sorry if I spelled it wrong,) so it's recommended to start mutating yo Megs.

Remember that it has to go to sleep from time to time so don’t go into a raid or massive fight with it until you check the time when it needs to sleep you can let it sleep whenever you want so you don’t have to always wait for the timer

On ark mobile you can only find them in the middle chamber and maybe dungeons

Fun fact: for all the admins in mobile, if you level something up ~* While it's unconscious and you have put food in it *~ The dino will start eating automatically (works for everything)

They can’t carry tames on mobile

Fatal here again today I'll be talking about this nocturnal beauty

What it's good for

1. Boosting riders increased movement speed and attack power

2. Tanky mid-to-late game combat

3. Clearing caves and clearing dino spawns more efficiently

4. Gathering moderate resources without switching creatures

5. Pickup can pick up dinosaurs

6. Great for boss fights if leveled properly

What it's not good for

1. Long distance travel stam drains, speed is ok

2. Stealth or ambush situation (too big and loud)

3. Early-game taming (you'll need strong tames to even knock it out safely

Difficulty to tame

Early game very hard

Mid game moderate

Late game easy

Annoying parts

Knockout takes a lot of narcotics

They'll swing wildly can accidentally hit you or other tames

Needs lots of food after tame

Is ONLY awake during night

Recommended trapping method

Large metal stone traps with a ramp or platform

Tranq rifle or crossbow with plenty of narcotics

Passive tame is possible but sloooow

Player 2: should I get one?

Yes. The megalosaur is a mid-to-late game powerhouse. It's boosted ability makes it perfect for combat and travel when paired with a strong rider. Not only the best early-game starter, but once tamed, it dominates PVE and PVP alike

They get a buff at night

Next up shadowmane

I may be a bit late in submitting this tip, but if the Megalosaurus wakes up from torpor-inflicted sleep, the taming progress does not disappear. However, if you do not knock it out quick enough the taning effectiveness drops very quickly once it has actually been knocked out a second time, so bring taming food immediately before knockout (maybe when it's torpor running). Also, don't use sanguine until food is in it's inventory for the second knockout as the 30% drops very quickly

On mobile it only takes 3-6 tranq darts to knock it out

If a creature or player becomes bugged out in its mouth (i accidentally grabbed a player and a pter in one bite, refused to drop the pter) simply tranq whatever it is holding to sleep, it will drop it.

Starve it because it will wake up when it turns night and you will have to knock it out again, but it's food will still decline like it was when you first knocked it out.

Completely obliterated my whole chitin armor set

Probably the easiest apex creature to tame on abberation. It is much stronger than the spino at the cost of being vulnerable to more creatures.

Imo one of the hardest tames in Ark, especially on the island (he is 3 times on the map to the same time and possible spawns are upper and lower south cave, central cave, carno cave and lava cave and he is very hard to see because he sleeps during the day)…but he is really worth every second of taming, my personally favorite…

If you find one be prepared that you just get him out of 2 caves on the island (lower south and central cave or you tame 2 in the others and breed an egg) or maybe through glitches

For fighting: knock him out when night starts, sounds stupid because he is much stronger then…but if you use a grappling hook on he spot where he can’t attack you…you can knock him out easily...the good thing is that he sleeps through the morning till it gets night again, so he won’t wake up that fast and maybe you just need to shoot him down for one time...but if you knock him out during day, be prepared to knock him out again when it becomes night again…good luck survivor! :-)

Don’t tame before 20.30 I died because I didn’t know 😞

Pet it or draw a mustache on its face and then get the hell out of the cave

Megalosaurus is best Dino but if you want to tame make trap and trap it there good for boss fight we tamed lvl110 on switch aberration it takes with 5700hp and 275% damage. I just got app so sorry if this doesn’t help.

Don't tame one in the transition of day-night. I was feeding him kibble, he was about to be tamed and darkness fell... He got up, I had to re-tranq him and even though he didn't lose a lot of the taming bar, my kibble disappeared :(

On Lost Island, these guys also spawn outside of caves! I saw one in the snow biome near the wyvern trench.
