Megalosaurus — Detailed Guide

The Megalosaurus is a nocturnal predator that is extremely dangerous at night and asleep for most of the day. It can grab and pin creatures, and a tamed one makes a strong night hunter.

Where to find it

It is common on most maps in both games: The Island, The Center, Scorched Earth and Ragnarok, plus Astraeos and Genesis Part 1 in ASA and Crystal Isles, Lost Island and Fjordur in ASE. On Extinction and Lost Colony it is rarer.

Taming

A knockout tame. Feed it meat once it is down. Its saddle unlocks at level 57.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 1 hour 40 minutes.
  • Temperature: 26 to 32 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 3.9 days at 1x.

Uses

  • Combat: its grab and pin attack holds prey in place, and it is at its best at night.
  • Harvesting: collects Raw Meat and Hide.

Tips

Hunt or tame it during the day, while it is weak and sleepy, and stay clear of wild ones after dark.
