Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megalosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalosaurus.
When in the central cave in ark mobile don't leave when your taming a creature or it will despawn and I lost all my kibble and my soothing balm
So will it wake up on mobile too at 20:30??I knocked one out at 17:25.i built a pillar trap around it waiting for it to wake up .now it's 3:40 & it didn't wake up
I suggest that at the night try to find one and once you do wait till day but DONT GET IT AGGRO. Once it’s day grab it with a quetzal. Make sure you put it in a taming pen. Just saying it will be cranky try to shoot it with a tranquilizer dart. Depending on the level it will take longer. Give it the kibble and after a bit. You’ve got a lazy, strong dino XD. Just saying it won’t tame at night and it will wake.
I used mutton...lot faster in my opinion and it was a level 15
Knock it out as soon as it wakes up should be enough time to starve and tame
I was searching the Caves and Found this sleepy boi He is furry I recommend No Narcotics bc I tamed it without narcotics use:fish meat raw meat or prime
A imprinted one with good hp and melee can fight a imprinted giga at night worked well at defending crystal cave on rag
This thing is So TRICKY!!! ME thinking that when u are playing single player all ur taming process stays when u log off. But oh no no no. he wakes up when i log on and kills my iguanadon and me 😭
Easy to KO, just make sure you're on a cliff or a ledge and pump it full of tranqs. You WILL miss a lot if you are KO'ing at night, so bring extra arrows
Contrary to what most people suggest knock out during the night and starve tame this will give you the most amount of starve till you have to knock it out again. Also suggest mutton much quicker and lessens the amount of times you have to knock it out when waiting
I wait until it's like 20:10-20:15 then shoot them with tranq darts, have a few large bear traps set up and then it'll get stuck and nighttime comes while it's torpor is still increasing and you'll be able to knock out and have an easy tame
Wait for it to wake up then knock it out and it won't wake up during the time it takes to tame. Use mutton for a fast effective way to tame. Half the cost same level.
Due to the limit of how many they may spawn on the map, they're difficult to find. Trying to tame them in certain caves can be problematic if they do not fit through the cave exits.
If you play on ragnarok, go to the forest by Viking bay three and you will find plenty of them.
If you try to do this during the day gets somewhere High to where it can't reach you and get a parasaur so it can scan any nearby Predator so it can't kill right when you knock him down
Knock them out the moment they wake up, once knock out at night you’ll have all the time to starve it. Bring a high level high health Ovis if you don’t have the required kibble to tame it. Once the hunger drops at a certain level slaughter the Ovis and harvesting its corpse with a pick, transfer all the mutton into the megalo’s inventory and you’ll have an instant tame megalosaurus. I tried this and it worked!
You can use the same kind of trap as an argy to trap one of these guys
I tamed mine during the day in crystal isles so it lost a lot of stamina and made it hungry which led to and insta tame
Easy go tame all you need is a cross bow as you can out run the easily better aswell if you can get it stuck or if your on a cliff
I just waited until the megalosaurus said get to sleep then I shoot them since they are very slow at daytime then I feed them raw prime meat from the titanoboas
