These guys are a must-have in Aberration; they are always awake (at least in the bioluminescent area), and thus always have their night buff. Of course, this also means you must always be wary of wild ones while in their territory.

They are at night really good and have a buff but on Day they have to sleep. When u ride them on Day they will lose stamina and torpor is growing fast.

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! :-)

Extremely good for night raiding, if of course you manage to find one AND tame it

When out at night, be sure to take this with a raft or quetzal with platform, so when it is tired, you can get it back to base without it being attacked. Just a tip to ensure that your prized Megalosaurus doesn't die whilst you are out.

Imo the most underestimated creature (only use him during night) great for farming leather, great dps, great meat and prime meat farmer and very funny to grab other creatures with rightclick and eat them very fast...give this dinosaur an own TV show

On abberation they don't sleep and are very powerful

These guys can hold things such a parasaurs and argentavis in their mouth without damaging them. This is great for bringing smaller creatures to a safe taming location.

Can be used to wreck a Rex. How does a carno sized Dino wreck a Rex? Dunno

Use this dino on aberration its always buffed cuz its on a cave and it resist radiation

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.

Use the L2 to pick up small dinos in its mouth, then bring them to the destination of your choice, and have a friend tranq the small dino while in its mouth to knock it out. I use for taming ravagers, kill low levels then pick up alpha and bring to your base to knock out and tame. Works wonderfully!

Be wary that the Megalosaurus received a major nerf in the form of the latest raptor TLC. Raptors can now dismount Megalosaurus riders and seem to attack them on sight. Megalosaurus often use their grab attack while the raptor will still have you pinned even while it is in the Megalosaurs mouth. The raptors allies will then proceed to eat you and then kill you in that order.

If taking in southern cave around 80/50, make sure he doesn’t retreat into water. He will keep running from you, and if you knock him out he’ll drown. Try luring one into a trap.

Must have on ark mobile. Can go though caves undetected, this also works with arthros.

Got one in baby stage now on 338 official, keep it unconscious during the day (make it stay awake) it goes through food liek it does at night. This one while sleeping in the day eats 1 meat a second, its insane

From what I’ve heard they are terrible in mobile (also been tested by me) they sleep way to often in other maps and pc and other they are much better

Do not attempt to make it sleep while carrying something or the creature being carried will be bugged for life. as off patch v254.96

You will find them in a cave at ragnorok at 17 44

The aberration baby version also doesn't sleep during the day.
