Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Megalosaurus based on your settings.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Megalosaurus at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Megalosaurus. 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. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Megalosaurus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

The Megalosaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. At 1,025 base HP, the Megalosaurus is solidly tanky. Stamina sits at 300 base, providing moderate endurance. It carries 300 base Weight - a solid weight pool.

The Megalosaurus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Megalosaurus is a versatile tame with a balanced stat spread, useful in a variety of roles. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 26°C–32°C temperature window. A wild Megalosaurus is worth 25 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.34 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
