Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Think of your favorite tame... that was cute. Introducing you to your new favorite tame, GOD... I mean megatherium. Sorry, with one kill of a bug they are very hard to tell apart. You remember waking up on the beach naked and running away from those drones? Yeah, now they will have nightmares of a big ass sloth frothing at the mouth for their demise. Giga making you worry next door? Nothing a Megatherium or 20 and some bug crack can’t fix. I promise you getting one of these changed my life. Collects Chiton pretty good I guess. If pretty good is you throwing out 16K cause you’re slot capped. Your future daughter will call this tame daddy, if you already have a daughter... you should have had a son.
Finally, a kind of sloth so I can tame up the ice age characters, got Manny, got Diego, and now I have Sid
In Mobile version, megatherium can be resurrect on the obelisk after killing it in the dungeon (plase in mobile, where you can have battle with bosses). It doesn’t live in normal world. In mobile it eats an old kibble: baryonyx egg+raw fish+potato+mejoberry+fiber. It is very important information for mobile players!
For mobile players you can kill it in the dungeons I forgot which one but you will find out. Then grab it’s respawn artifact thing then get a respawn pad respawn it and build stone walls around so it does not get out and escape then tranq it out the easy way is to feed berries hard way is honey. Blow this up so peeps can see it
Will destroy you, likes to run in random directions, and doe 100+ damage i lost my argy trying to lead it in a trap
1 up equals one prayer to Najis
