Megalania — Detailed Guide

The Megalania is a giant lizard that walks on walls and ceilings. Its bite spreads Mega Rabies, and it is one of the best mounts for exploring caves.

Where to find it

It hunts in caves on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Scorched Earth, Extinction and Genesis Part 1 in both games, Astraeos, Valguero and Lost Colony in ASA, and Aberration, Crystal Isles, Fjordur and Lost Island in ASE.

Taming

A knockout tame and a carnivore. Lure it out of the cave, where it cannot climb over you, and knock it out. Its saddle unlocks at level 73. See the taming calculator.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 2 hours.
  • Temperature: 29 to 35 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 1.5 days at 1x.

Uses

Climbing walls and ceilings in caves to reach artifacts and loot.

Tips

Carry an antidote when you fight one: its bite can infect you.
