6. Great for boss fights if leveled properly
What it's not good for
1. Long distance travel stam drains, speed is ok
2. Stealth or ambush situation (too big and loud)
3. Early-game taming (you'll need strong tames to even knock it out safely
Difficulty to tame
Early game very hard
Mid game moderate
Late game easy
Annoying parts
Knockout takes a lot of narcotics
They'll swing wildly can accidentally hit you or other tames
Needs lots of food after tame
Is ONLY awake during night
Recommended trapping method
Large metal stone traps with a ramp or platform
Tranq rifle or crossbow with plenty of narcotics
Passive tame is possible but sloooow
Player 2: should I get one?
Yes. The megalosaur is a mid-to-late game powerhouse. It's boosted ability makes it perfect for combat and travel when paired with a strong rider. Not only the best early-game starter, but once tamed, it dominates PVE and PVP alike
They get a buff at night
