Best way to tame a level 600 Megalosaurus?

[YamiJustin]

My original thought was trap it, then keep knocking it out when it wakes up. But even with tranq darts from a longneck rifle the Dino would inevitably die before being starve tamed?

You need to load it up with Bio-Toxin and feed the toxin from its own inventory.
Re-shooting it with tranq darts will only ruin the tame efficiency. Dont shoot it or let any other animal bite it after knockout.

Even if I do that it’ll wake up at 20:30, nothing I can do to prevent that except tranq it again. And apparently the starving doesn’t happen while it’s awake even if I have it trapped

Wild Card updated it so that re-tranqing it doesn’t lose efficiency I heard

hi why i cannot update?

Should be like any other tame. It won't wake up if you keep feeding it Bio Toxin to stay asleep. Also put in Exceptional Kibble into its inventory and he will eat when ready. It's not a walk away tame. You have to monitor the torpor and keep feeding it Bio-Toxin.

No the Megalosaurus is special; it’ll ALWAYS wake up at 8:30pm no matter how much torpor it has. That’s one of its trademarks

Why are you on this specific thread?

Have you looked on YouTube?

Using shocking tranq darts with the highest level longneck you can find is the best start.
Yes it will wake at 20:30, and you tranq it again. You are correct there.
On Fjordur we knock them at 20:31 ( Only level 150 tho - I assume your dino levels are higher and you're not dealing with a "super high level cave creature' that cant be tamed.)
We give it kibble and elixir as soon as its out, and wait for 20:30 to come again- Rinse and repeat. We don't bother with starving them as they don't lose effectiveness anymore when they wake.
With the 150 level its only about 5 shocking tranqs, So it takes minimal damage.
If you have access to Snow Owls, you can heal it while its knocked out as well.

As Crazy said, snow owls can heal wild creatures.

Alternatively, kill some creatures and have their corpses beside the megalo, put all your gear away safely in a box, then stand by the megalo as it wakes up. It will attack you, it's splash damage will harvest the corpses and it will regain some health from eating. Then you can just respawn at a bed nearby, grab your stuff and tranq again.

You use kibble for the Taming ? It’s the fastest way to tame it before it wake up again.
