If you make the best mutations for meg alo, it might do even more then syntac's perfect thylacaleo, misteque, (sorry if I spelled it wrong,) so it's recommended to start mutating yo Megs.

They can’t carry tames on mobile

Remember that it has to go to sleep from time to time so don’t go into a raid or massive fight with it until you check the time when it needs to sleep you can let it sleep whenever you want so you don’t have to always wait for the timer

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.

Megalosaurus is best Dino but if you want to tame make trap and trap it there good for boss fight we tamed lvl110 on switch aberration it takes with 5700hp and 275% damage. I just got app so sorry if this doesn’t help.

These creatures are my FAVORITE! Like they are just one of my main Dino’s. They are also the only creatures that can sleep on ark mobile. I’m very proud of ark mobile because I’m so glad that these are easy to tame AND are on caves. If they were on dungeons I would cry. I hope this is helpful. Stay rage at night my friend!🌕

Probably the easiest apex creature to tame on abberation. It is much stronger than the spino at the cost of being vulnerable to more creatures.

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! :-)

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

[ASE tip] Unridden megalosaurus do not use their biting attack. Instead, they will constantly use their grab attack, which is unaffected by melee damage increases. Therefore, they are very suboptimal when unridden, so spinos might be a better choice against Rockwell.

Not a tip but a question are these creatures like good cave creatures to take care of the pests

This is guy is op when night..like batman lol :)

Just eat some shadow steak(to see clearly at dark)then u and ur Megalosaurus will be hero of Gotham but on ark.like batman and robin

The Megalosaurus is very good for fighting the Dragon, possible better than the Therizinosaurs, when you bring them to the Dragon fight, they don't get attacked by the dragon, the dragon only locks onto, allowing them to deal damage without dying, to do this properly I would suggest riding a tanky Therizinosaur just in case and bring 19 megalosauruses (or 18 if you want a Yutyrannus, just make sure the Yutyrannus is following your Therizinosaur while on passive with "ignore whistles" activated) you could even do alpha dragon with megalosauruses if they're strong enough (NOTE: MAKE SURE IT IS NIGHT TIME WHEN YOU SUMMON THE DRAGON OR THE MEGALOSAURUSES WILL TICKLE HIM)

Planning to beat bosses with only these.

So I play mobile single player pretty exclusively, which means I have NO use for a megalo. After playing for a while, I’ve found I’m not happy unless I have one of these things sleeping on my floor. I’m sure they’re useful for night raids, but again, I don’t do that. Have to be honest though, if you decide to ride it around at night, you’ll realize absolutely nothing attacks you or even runs away

Megalos are soooooooo good on Ab because they never have to sleep so they are beasts

One of the best mounts to start with in aberration

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.

Higher melee than a Rex but sleeps during daylight best thing to do is use it at night in the day it sleeps and when you wake it up it is slow and will eventually force its self asleep

You can pick up Megalosaurus using Quetzal in Mobile as long as they are awake (idk if the same works in PC or Console)
