How To Trap A Maeguana In Ark: Survival Ascended

Through the new DLC for , you can trap and tame the creature Maeguana, a giant lizard that makes traveling across land easy. This new creature is a skittish omnivore that can be added to your already large roster of friendly reptiles at your command. However, unlike many other creatures, Maeguana has unique traits that distinguish it from its reptilian counterparts.

Maeguana has fast land travel speed along with the ability to glide through the air, making the creature a versatile mix of ground and air travel. This dinosaur acts like a reptilian flying squirrel, jumping high into the air before gliding over great distances. By taming and mounting this creature, you can use its unorthodox movements to cover a lot of ground quickly as you try to reach different locations.

You can find Maeguanas around Grassland biomes throughout your map, but these creatures tend to spawn more near the Korinthos and Phokintos islands. These dinosaurs are easy to ignore at first, as they tend to appear commonly in the southern, temperate areas that you miss as you travel.

Ark: Survival Ascended has some cool dinosaurs, but there are still many more real dinos that would be great official additions to the title.

The southeast corner of Phokintos has the highest population of Maeguanas, especially as you reach the Grasslands that border the beaches close to the ocean. Similarly, the southern tip of Korinthos Island has plenty of Maeguana gathered in its Grasslands. Maeguanas tend to spawn close to water, but not within Swamp biomes or other areas that would be too hot or too cold for the creature to survive.

Before you start searching for a Maeguana, try to tame at least one flying creature first. Maeguanas are much easier to tame when you can follow them wherever they go with dinosaurs you've tamed in .

Whenever you find a Maeguana, do not try to harm it right away. These creatures are notoriously elusive, as they use their high jump and glide to quickly flee their spawn location if
