Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Megalania, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Megalania at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Megalania sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The Megalania bleeds 3.6 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Megalania is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Its base Stamina of 400 gives it good endurance. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Megalania has respectable melee power. With 480 base Health, the Megalania is decently sturdy. Weight capacity starts at 400, giving it good carrying capacity.

You'll need to knock the Megalania unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Extraordinary Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the Megalania is a versatile tame with a balanced stat spread, useful in a variety of roles. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 29°C and 35°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 2 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.85 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
