Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megalosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalosaurus.
They can fit through double doorways, don't build your trap out of them on abberation
If breeding make sure to have lots and lots of meat stored. Must be awake at all times because when sleeping it won't eat and starves. Let it knock itself out to raise.
Best way to tame them on the spot is with raw prime
Titanoboas tend to spawn near them,knock out the megalosaur,kill the titanoboas, feed the megalosaur the prime meat and boom you got yourself a dino shaker 9000
They can fit through double doors at least that is true to Xbox one players or it might have been a glitch
Just knock them out when they are already asleep. It’s like waking someone up and saying “It’s time for bed” but it’s probably the most effective method. Just regular tranq and meat tame the end.
Absolutely tame these guys during the day. Yes they wake up but they move much more slowly and seem to have a less powerful attack, although don’t quote me on that. I can tell you for sure that every time i tried knocking one out whilst it was awake at night, it tore through my armour me and then my tame faster than I could squeK
They are in mobile! They are only in the artifact of the clever cave Though
How to tame one of these beasts
First:tame an araneo i have written a tip for taming an araneo some days ago so you can get some help
Second : these are only found in clever caves so mount your araneo and go to clever cave dont forget tranq darts not arrows
Third :they sleep in day and then woke up in night so its better to tame them in day
Fourth :craft some doorframes and fences to make trap
Fifth:make trap like this find a megalosaurus and then find a very thin place place fence there and place 2 stone doorframes one at bottom and one at top
Sixth : lure megalosarus in trap it will be busy in breaking the doorframe and on that time you can fire tranq darts on him
Seventh:after their torpor will be high so they will start running so careful of this
Eight: feed its preffered kibble oviraptor kibble or if you dont have oviraptor kibble so then feed it shooting balm and raw prime meat
Boom you have tamed a megalosaurus
Its saddle unlocks at level 57
Do not leave ark while taming this,the cave will reset and it will gone!,from my experience,aw man,at least I find one with higher level :)
He live in the blue area (Maybe in other cave area) on Aberrations, but never at "surface", just becarefull ! The Megalosaurus is always buffed and can't sleep on Aberrations ! If he catch you, end is near ! (He is irradiated, so it's a nice fighter in Rock Drake nest because he don't take any radiation damage)
Step 1. Find one in a cave unless your on aberration the trap it
Step 2. Tranq it and give it food
Step 3. Make sure it is night unless your on aberration
If it's not night the megalosaurus could be sleep deprived and won't work and will be sharply debuffed so use them at night and again unless your playing on aberration.
I hope this tip was helpful if not I hope it gave you some info on a tame you might want
Doesn’t sleep during the day in aberration, also means it won’t wake up when it turns night
Its worth the tame but it will get sleep deprived through the day and get high torpor and go unconscious it will also run out of stamina and will not fill back up through the day. It is slow at day but fast at night.
It is really strong on mobile you can only find it in caves manly in the cave near the volcano. So it is worth the tame but is annoying.
How to tame: Go in the day to the central cave and go to the very bottom. If you see one it should be sleeping. Kill off anything that can attack you or your new buddy, (You’ll need prime meat or raw meat, tranqs and a soothing balm (optional). Once its knocked out put meat in and thats how to find and tame a new buddy! They are nocturnal so won’t be that helpful in day. (works on moblie and other devices.)
dont even try to tame at night they will have glowing eyes and a insane buff in damage and health they can also grab you with its mouth
It worked for me. It didn’t wake up until it tamed. It can’t damage stone either
If you’re on abb then look for high levels in the blue zone they are super common but pack a punch like a rex. Best abb boss dino for anyone looking to fo rockwell for the first time
Each kibble = 150 food that it has to drop instead of 80 it wakes up ingame 20:30pm be careful
I just tamed a megalosaurus and it died the fist 2-5 minutes i tamed it because it was asleep and it wasn’t eating
I tamed one with tranquilliser arrows and a slingshot. It was even level 130. If you want to tame one I suggest finding it at night and waiting till day to tranquillise it because if it’s night it will wake up instantly
