Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megalosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalosaurus.
Watch tf out they can hold u in their mouth and swing u around like a chew toy :( killed me and my vulture RIP Alice:((
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 :(
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
I recommend using a bear trap then trap it in a 4by4 with some door ways on the side btw use anything wood+
Can someone please tell me where to find this on the island?
Be careful! These guys can grab argents. I didn't expect him to be able to grab something that big. I thought it was small dinos only. I boxed him in at a cliff face with 2 behemoth gates and started shooting, but somehow he scaled the small cliff face and snatched my passive level 256 argie up into his mouth and didn't let go until she was dead.
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.
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
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.
They can fit through double doorways, don't build your trap out of them on abberation
They can fit through double doors at least that is true to Xbox one players or it might have been a glitch
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.
Just to add my input, megalosaurus is real easy to tame, may take a little while but oviraptor kibble really works. I literally waited days to finally go out to tame one but I crafted 10x the kibble jus in case and only took 3, so I first build at least 8-9 stone pillars in front of the Megalosaurus’s emntrance to keep it from attacking you and tranq it. *MAKE SURE DAY RESETS FO MORNING BEFORE ATTEMPTING TI TAME OR IT WILL WAKE UP AND GO FULL BROLY ON YOUR ARSE* ( up this so ppl actually have a good strategy plan)
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.)
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.
What you should do is kill all the things inside the cave with a direwolf or a sabertooth and grapple onto the ceiling. Then shoot one with tranqs. Make sure u do it during the day. Wait until it is like half hunger then feed it. 👍
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)
A must have tame if you're on abberation! These guys are always awake on abberation and are comparable to a rex in power and hp so you must tame these on your abberation save of the game
Me and my brother found one roaming the beach outside our base ( we play on ragnorok) we were both low level so during the the day we used boomerangs to tame it and we now have a level 71 named Big Boy so if y’all ever see one during the day just use a boomerangs it’s so easy
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
