ARK Megaloceros Spawn Command (2026) — Tamed, Wild & Leveled

Q: What is the Megaloceros spawn command in ARK?

Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Stag_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Megaloceros in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Stag_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.

Q: How do I spawn a tamed Megaloceros at a specific level?

Use cheat gmsummon "Stag_Character_BP_C" <level>. The number is the pre-tame level — ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus, so a value of 100 ends up around level 150. To hit a target level, divide it by 1.5. A gmsummon creature still needs a saddle to ride.

Q: What's the difference between summon, SummonTamed and gmsummon?

summon drops a wild Megaloceros at a random level. SummonTamed gives you a tamed one but at a random level you can't set. gmsummon spawns it tamed at the level you specify — the one most people want.

Q: Do ARK spawn commands work in single player and on servers?

Yes. In single player the cheat prefix is optional and no password is needed. On a dedicated or non-dedicated session you must run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> once, then prefix each spawn with cheat. Set that admin password without hand-editing files using our free ARK config generators.

Spawn a tamed Megaloceros at any level

gmsummon spawns it already tamed. Set the level below — it's the pre-tame level, and ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus on top, so the final creature lands higher. Change the number, copy, paste.

Pre-tame level

cheat gmsummon "Stag_Character_BP_C" 150

≈ level 225 once tamed

A gmsummon-tamed Megaloceros still needs a saddle — it isn't force-tamed. Want it instantly, level aside? Use cheat SummonTamed Stag_Character_BP_C (random level).

Command	What it does
cheat summon Stag_Character_BP_C	Spawns a wild Megaloceros at your location (random level).
cheat SummonTamed Stag_Character_BP_C	Spawns a tamed Megaloceros at a random level — instant, no level control.
cheat gmsummon "Stag_Character_BP_C" 150	Spawns a tamed Megaloceros at a set level (still needs a saddle). 150 here ≈ level 225 after the taming bonus.
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Stag/Stag_Character_BP.Stag_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 150	Advanced: spawns a wild Megaloceros at level 150, 500 units in front of you, using the full blueprint path.

On a server, every line needs the cheat prefix and a one-time enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword>. The class name Stag_Character_BP_C is what ARK calls the Megaloceros internally; its full blueprint path is /Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Stag/Stag_Character_BP.Stag_Character_BP.

ARK Megaloceros FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Megaloceros do in ARK?

Males deliver a charging antler attack that causes a bleed effect on targets, reducing their Health, Stamina, and Speed. Females cannot attack but move 25% faster than males. Megaloceros is a herbivore (simple kibble preferred; mejoberry, amarberry, azulberry, tintoberry, and other berries accepted). Wild Megaloceros is passive — it flees when attacked rather than fighting back. Only males can attack when mounted. Both sexes can jump one-wall-height obstacles.

How do you use the Megaloceros's ability in ARK?

Mounted on a male, the antler charge is triggered with the standard primary attack button (left-click/RT/R2/ZR). Both sexes can jump over obstacles one wall tall. No radial menu mechanic confirmed for the attack. Tamed via knockout (bola first, then club; or Argentavis carry into a box trap). Choose your role by sex: male for mounted combat (bleed application), female for fast travel and scouting. The bleed debuff degrades enemy movement and sustain, making males useful for chasing fleeing targets. Simple Kibble is the fastest tame food; Mejoberry is a viable alternative. Saddle unlocks at player level 30.

What is the Megaloceros good for in ARK?

Fast overland travel (female for speed); light combat with bleed application (male); early-to-mid game mount; scouting and escape.
