Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megalodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalodon.
You can unlock their saddle relatively early in the game.
To the guy who said name it Bruce.why? It’s not a carno,it’s a deranged old lady who thinks she’s a tiger shark,name it possessed lady
To anyone who has his megalodon/any swimmming dino stuck on The shore. Just cryopod It. I sacrified a Mosa before knowing this :/
My shark is stuck on the beach. I’ve tried everything like getting my trike, my diplo, and putting it on follow. Someone please help I just tamed it!!!
1. Ride on Ichthyosaurus since nothing will agro on you in the water unless you feed a basilosaurus food and mantas see that.
2. Crossbow ONLY with tranqs or longneck rifle with darts to knock it out.
3. Have some bio toxin beforehand (10 is more than enough)
4. Feed raw or prime meat because fish meat is less effective.
5. You have got yourself a shark pet.
X-type 140 took me about 140 arrows with prim crossbow .
For the 100% chance of death for the pachy primary attack, it's talking about the pachy, not the meg
Relatively easy tame just make sure not to call the big bois THICC FEESH or they will get VERY AMGERY
I used 10 tranq arrows with a cross bow and 10 raw meat to tame for a level 10 not 20 raw meat
How to tame a megalodon
1:get tranq arrows,about 10(for a short level Meg like a 7) then get some cooked prime meat and some narc paste
2:find a low or high level meg(what ever you prefer)that’s fight a carbom or something(that’s so it doesn’t attack you)
3: shoot the Meg
4: once it starts to run away kill the thing it’s attacking and shoot it a couple more times till it’s unconscious
5: give it the prime meat because it takes a small amount of time to tame it then
6: watch out for predators like rays or stuff
7: AND BOOM!💥 you got yourself a Megalodon
Uparoo if this was helpful👍
Multi-meg taming trick. Their turn radius is horrible. Stay to their inside and keep using crossbow to sink tranq arrows into them. IF you get outside the turn radius then they will shred you apart
The X type takes about 3x more arrows to knock it out from what i can tell this is the same for most x dinos.
While taming an x meg, use tranq spears instead of darts or arrows, seem to work better for me
Fairly easy tame with slingshot on mobile. I found a female stuck on herb island, grabbed meat, knocked it out and started tame ing it. Trill in the process, but ye! Just get like 300 hungered rocks and like 3 slingshots and ur good! (Mobile btw)
I want it as a pet in the game
They spawn a lot around the red obelisk and the ocean by the most western spawn area
Just aggro the megalodon and stand on the shore when you tranq it.
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
Was able to trap it in a boat very easy tame that way. Named the boat Orca did not get destroyed...doing better then Flynn...
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
