Tips & Strategies
Check the level before killing or taming it because a good high level shark can be very good for deep sea loot crates
Island of the coast at bottom of map. 2 spawn in inside a lil cove already traped.easy tame
I had my icthy and my meg killed by these by 5 wild megs. The moral? Don’t have your tames on neutral
If your going to take an meg make sure that if their is a pack you kill or lead the med that you don’t want away
If you don’t have a crossbow you can lure it close to the shore and if you have lots of arrows you can easily take it down with a bow
Here’s how to tame a Megalodon:
1-Tame an Icthyosaurus with 20-25 meat, then make it a saddle.
2-Bring 15-20 narcotics, 20 tranq arrows, crossbow/bow, 30-40 meat and go to an area where Megalodons are located(Usually in Herbivore Island).
3-Icthyosaurus have a special ability where creatures won’t get agro to you, unless you bite them with the icthyosaurus, so bite the Megalodon you found with your icthyosaurus, and lead it to shallow water or a nearby shore.
4-Once you are done leading it to shallow water or a shore, start firing tranq arrows at the Megalodon.(You can dismount your icthyosaurus, or fire while you are sitting on the back of your icthyosaurus).
5-When it’s knocked out, put the meat in it’s inventory, and use the narcotics when it’s torpor is getting low and wait until it’s tamed.
And now you have a Megalodon :D
Name suggestions: Poseidon(God of the Seas)— Bruce— Noah— Ocean Jaws— Jaws— Underwater T-Rex.
I hope this helped, thanks for reading this :D
Good luck!
So I was in the Ragnarok map, and I was trying to get down to the desert from near the top right corner of the island. Later I got to a point were I had to swim across a river. I was about half way across when I was attacked by a megalodon. It was a death match! All the sudden, another on shows up and its then that I stop trying to kill them and I try swimming away. I had managed to make it out alive but with extremely low health. However I am glad I survived.
PS: About five minutes later I died to a raptor.
Net gun it then tranq arrow repeat, then bam it's out. Took me 2 nets while floating over the water on a bloodstalker shooting it with a longneck
Cheap stone trap with small water dinos or yourself
4 foundation
3 walls high each side, it will not pass thru
1 giant hatch frame and gate on top
Thats all
Bow take your dino, lure it from top and you get out from the side without walls. Shark is slow and clumsy so you have time to return on too to close gate
Voila
Also work for dunky
These guys can be a beast in groups but considering it being a water mount it is restricted on where it can be used and hard to tame. Sarcos much more versatile and easier too tame, overall better mount than this with the stats it has, (better speed and Stam and possibly melee too). Try not to mess with it, it's just too much trouble.
Can be horse kicked by equus if lured to the shore.
Saves harpoons and tranqs.
Your gonna need a bigger boat AHHHHH
These are a joke my Barry killed an alpha in 2 mins
Sharks recieved some love from developers, and now are waaaaay better than before. It bote does allossaurus tipe bleed and have pack buff. Use 9 sharks togheter to Max Power. With this many sharks, you Can anhilate anything in your Path. With a pack of 5 sharks, i was able to obliterate an level 140 Alpha tuso in seconds
See one of these and either make sure your movement speed is super high and swim or swim to the surface and gain oxygen and be prepared to fight. I learned THAT the HARD way.
To everyone saying you can't catch it with a fish trapper boat, you couldn't be more wrong, you just have to do a underwater version of quetz trappers
I have found that it is easy and safer if you use a pelagornis to lure the megalodon into a trap. Doing it this way if something really bad come you can just fly off of the water instead of trying to get to shore.
