Tips & Strategies

To tame it just boomerang it by throwing. Tamed a lvl 2 and 7 this way at low lvl. Just find a lone one and then aim for the head first. As it’s running boom it some more. If u see another morell but it’s kinda far I found that the paras danger Since wave is a good Indication if it’s far enough or not.
You are able to drink water from the morelas back.
As opposed to what their appearance may lead you to believe… These guys are actually incredibly fast, able to even keep ahead of a Raptor when sprinting, and since they are so big they are also immune to bolas and as such you will have to try trapping them using terrain or built structures. Alternatively you can use a Lymantria’s spore cloud to slow them down temporarily.
This is probably the best starter tame for Scorched Earth (or any other map with a desert) because it is great at gathering berries. Also, it can store water which is useful because the deserts don’t have lots of water, so I would recommend using a morellatops when you start the game. -Amory
This dino is one of my favorites. Being an early tame it has great carry weight, mobility, & health. The ability to store 750 water is an absolute life saver. You can refill your water skins/water jars/canteens by putting the container in its inventory& remote using it. You can fill their storage by simply walking them to a water source & letting them drink. I recommend taming 2-3 if you plan on doing any traveling. Safety in numbers. Level in Melee, Health,& Stamina (Weight as needed)
When running into these guys, be mindful of groups. If attempting to take one down, check to see how many are around. They fight together in groups& are surprisingly quick for their size. If it's by itself it will run, so be ready to chase. They're relatively easy to take down. Ranged weapons are preferred, but pikes work well also if you can get one stuck on a rock or tree.
if u need to tame this beasts try and find one alone, if found with 5 or more it best u go to high ground when trying to tame because if u try to take this beast while more of It kind are around it will not run but attack u head on with it group it best bring along more friends when taming one in a large group
In my opinion best way to farm cactus-sap if u are in these little cactus fields and u make the main attack u get over 1000 in sec
Don't try to trap it with gates. I trapped one with 3 adobe dinosaur gates in a triangle shape and he rose upwards, phased through the ceilings I put down, and escaped.
Morellatops is a fast creature and will flee when attacked if alone. If there is another Morellatops nearby it will attack back when damaged. When killed there is a 'Drink water' option and can be used if filled by water, although once you harvest it the water is gone.
In ASA they eat sap! And it works well!!!
If you come across a low level Morrelatops on its own, you can easily down it using roughly 10 arrows, no misses. If you do miss, it's okay, if the area is rocky enough and you're fast, you can punch it when it gets stuck.
They will sometimes attack back but will 100% attack when in a pack
I think you should use "tranq" for the knock out creatures version of tame.
In order
1. Longbow
2. Tranq
3. Club
4. Yuttyrannus
5. Tsuiceratops
You should tame a lone morellatops, instead of a morellatops in a group because they will attack when in a group
