Megalosaurus Ark: Survival Evolved XBOX ONE X

Welcome to Unevolved Gaming, As requested in the comment section, we are going to take a closer look at the Megalosaurus The Megalosaurus is a medium sized theropod that shows some similarities in appearance to other predators like the Carnotaurus, its back, head and tail however are covered with a thin layer of feathers. Even Though the Megalosaurus is considered to be in the same category as other aggressive carnivores its behavior is more similar to the Troodon as they are both nocturnal creatures. The Megalosaurus can be found in some caves on The Island, The Center and Scorched Earth, On Ragnarok however they can be found above ground east of Viking Bay. The Lower south cave on the Island can be considered the easiest location to find a Megalosaurus due to its location, relative small size and accessibility with a mount. Survivors will have to keep in mind that a wild Megalosaurus can only be found in a limited amount on a server at a time similar to the Megalania. A Megalosaurus that is found during the day is usually sleeping in a curled up position and can be approached in relative safety. When touched or attacked the Megalosaurus will wake up and pursue a survivor for a short distance, however because of its sleep deprivation during the day it will move very sluggish and its attacks will be relatively weak. As soon as the night falls the Megalosaurus wakes up and becomes a dangerous predator with glowing eyes similar to the Troodon. In this awoken state the Megalosaurus is no longer held back by sleep deprivation. This turns the Megalosaurus into a hunter that can outrun most creatures. The attack of a Megalosaurus during the night will have approximately double the normal the damage output. Survivors that are attempting to kill a Megalosaurus are highly advised to do this during the day when the creature is at it's weakest. Even though a Megalosaurus can be stopped in its tracks by a large bear trap it is still best to use ranged weapons from a safe location to avoid its grab attack. Survivors can also make use of grappling hooks or a mount like a Megalania in order to shoot the Megalosaurus while hanging from a wall or ceiling. When killed a Megalosaurus can be harvested for raw meat, hide, raw prime meat and keratin. When trying to tame a Megalosaurus survivors will have to keep in mind that cave systems can be very dangerous as they are inhabited by creatures such as the Arthropluera, it is therefor best to clear out the area or to lure the Megalosaurus to a safe location before knocking it out with tranquilizer arrows, darts or shocking tranquilizer darts. Even though a Megalosaurus can be picked up by a Quetzal most servers do not allow fliers in caves. Luring a Megalosaurus to a safe location can best be done during the day as the Megalosaurus will be so slow that a survivor can walk backwards while shooting it. It is also possible that a Megalosaurus will pass out without using a single tranquilizer due to the fact that it will rapidly gain torpor as soon as its sleep deprivation meter is full. When unconscious the Megalosaurus can be given all kinds of meat or fish in order to start the tame, they do however prefer Oviraptor kibble, raw mutton, raw prime meat and raw prime fish meat. Taming a Megalosaurus can become a bit confusing as they will wake up each night at approximately 8:30pm regardless of their torpidity. When a Megalosaurus wakes up during the tame all items that were placed in its inventory will be lost, taming progress and food depletion however are paused and will resume as soon as the Megalosaurus is knocked out again. Survivors will have to keep in mind that knocking out a Megalosaurus multiple times will have a negative effect on its health and therefor taming efficiency, it is recommended to use normal or shocking tranquilizer darts as they deal less damage than tranquilizer arrows. Only a small amount of narcoberries, narcotics or bio toxin is required to keep a Megalosaurus unconscious during the tame due to the fact that a survivor will have to knock out the Megalosaurus again after it awakes at 8:30 pm regardless of its torpor. A saddle to ride the Megalosaurus can be crafted in the smithy when a survivor reaches level 57 this saddle does not allow survivors to use their weapons while mounted.
