What is a megatherium used for? megatherium battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
In my opinion one of the best land mounts in the game, slow turn radius and sprint speed are its only cons, great base health and damage, amazing base carry weight and good stamina make this my taming mount, at 4K health it can tank a Spino while I tranq it still riding which just sold it for me. It can gather berries well enough and it’s bug killer buff makes it a force to be reckoned with around any area with bugs or scorpions
Go out of your way to tame this thing, a high level mega is my go to land mount now
Good against the broodmother,because of their boost against bugs.(if they kill a bug they get a boost that basically makes them the strongest Dino in ark.)Breeding them is also really easy because they give you a baby instantly and don't drop an egg, which saves a bit of time.
He is basically the incarnation of a gorilla god if he gets his hand on any bug. He will obliterate any who stand before him and rip the chitin from your very soul. Cause if you didn’t have chitin before now be prepared to have to much of it. The only downside of this literal demy god is that it’s hard to get his fat furry ass anywhere cause he is humungous.
I would highly recommend getting one of these big boys. Me and one of my boys got a 140 earlier today and I must say he is quite the Dino. His name is Pablo and he is a beast. Got his health to 10k and his melee to 350 then took him down to the swamp cave on the island. Pablo single handedly wiped the entire big population in that cave and in the process got me from level 96-100. Most importantly you can sit these guys which is what really sold me. Anyways I’d highly recommend getting one of these sloths.
You never know what you've got until it's gone. Actually I knew exactly what I had and that was my mega. The BEST at gathering chitlin or keratin. I'd take him to a spot with a lot of bugs and after 2 mins I'd have stacks and stacks of chit/keratin. I left him on a boat while I took my argys to get some obsidian real fast and ended up running into 3 spinos. Took a while to kill 2 and tame the 3rd while fending off tickle chickens then on the way back I found a gigantithicus or whatever the sasquatch is and followed him around shoving berries in his ass until he was tamed and by the time I got back to my raft base with the spino and harry my mega was dead..... I've spent 2 days looking for another and can't find one. I saw them ALL THE TIME until I'm looking for one lol.
