I managed to tame one of this and focus pumped on damage and health, and oh god this mf soloed a wild giga during the nighttime!! - without my yuti's passive!!

problaby the most underrated creature in ark this thing is a beast, while they are hard to tame they can do up to 100 (night) and take on a rex bro they need more attention! every like is another person liking the megalosaurus

We need a coffe update for this thing

The megalosaurus is one of the strongest therapods, but its nocturnal sleeping pattern make it significantly less effective during the day. The megalosaurus can bite and even latch onto enemies — including humans — and swing them around, hindering their ability to move. This carnivore is stronger than a Carno or a Rex at night, but during the day, it is much more slow and sluggish.~Steel Cookie 123

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.

Megalo don’t get targeted by basically anything up so more people can see this

Note: the normal Megalosaurus does fall asleep on Aberration, while the aberrant one does not. I thought that the normal one wouldn’t fall asleep either, but then I tested that theory...

I just tamed this and I am now realizing that they are nocturnal creatures, 🤣 so people who are taming these just know that they sleep all day. and if you force it to stay up it will go unconscious

The Grizzly bears of Ark on the island. These dinosaurs may be hard to find on moblie devices, on moblie this thing is only found sleeping in caves. Cave of the clever is the most frequent spawn of this guy. DO NOT TAME AT DARK: they are twice as fast and can murder mounts as fast as a arthropluera ( the giant centipede ) also be careful as while its sleeping, it may look like a rock, make sure not to jump on a “ rock “ with a few tufts of fur.

This creatures can actually make other dinos lose there aggro by doing its carrying techniques I used it on a spino and trike and it worked. Pls like and try it

I did this on mobile though

Im finnaly back guys! Average ARK player is back

Today we will look at the utilities and abilities of the Megalosaurus! So lets start and not waste time...

1.) BUFFS- Megalosaurus has a few tricks of its sleeve, despite being quite slugish during the day, in night you should really fear them since when its night this creature will have upgraded stats on its major stats like: Health, Melee Damage, Movement Speed. Which makes it more practically powerfull. So basically if you encounter one in night your just dead like acctually you can also find them on Mobile but only spawn in the Chamber Cave (Location: Middle of Map) and only seen in the pool of waters and near the Artifact, thats why some night tribes A.K.A (Night Raiders) often use these guys during sunset since they get their buff at 10:00 in the ARK Time.

2.) ABILITIES- Ok so lers move on to this guys abilities. So basically this creature is one of the first land dinos to pick up other creatures (not to mention the Mammoth, and Karkinos) so it could pick up a Dodo-a Baryonyx which is pretty ideal if you dont have a flier yet and best of all you can yeet them away from your jaw with a cool animation.

3.) TRIVIA (CUSTOM)- Did you know that Megalosauruses name in Old Greek Mytholigy in Latin stands for " Great Lizard"? And also did you know that Megalosaurus is the first dinosaur to be discovered! At first Scientist found a tooth which resembled like an horn/crest so they thought Megalosaurus was a 4 legged lizard but in the early 2000's we now know that Megalosaurus is a 2 Legged Carnivore.

Thats it for today guys!

Have a great day

Just like argentavis but without wings... And slightly better bcoz this dino can pickup flying dinos (petra,tapejara, argenatavis!!! )

Up this if you also think the same!

Great for aberration since they don't take radiation damage

At night time with their boost it’s either on par or better than a Rex. These things are the dangerous little brother of the giga...

On ASA, normal Megalosaurus now always have the night buff on Aberration and won’t need any sleep

They are better than both rexes and spinos they have about 300 health more than a spino and deal more damage than a Rex and can level up quite a bit faster than these two… they are also much smaller than the rexes and the spinos so they can fit trough smaller gaps. They are also significantly faster than a Rex but are hard to obtain but as soon as you have both a male and a female you can start mating. They also have a reasonable attack speed and can grab smaller dinos to stop them from attacking you. Their damage is even comparable to that of a spino on two legs but don’t attack as fast. If you can’t decide between spinos or rexes to build an army just use megalosaurus they are overall better, just you need to fight the bosses at night or the megalosaurus will be tired and sleep, letting the boss get the first hit

Absolutely incredible creature… half of the time. The sleep deprivation makes them utterly worthless during the day. At least they’re cute sleeping on the floor of your house, and hilariously powerful at night.

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.

Unmounted Megalosaurus 90% of times use their secondary attack! This bug has not been fixed yet!
