Most of the taming tips are trash and fail attempts at being funny. My guide after taming 4 130 to 150s turtles as follows.

1. Kite parrot fish swarm to turtle

2. Stay far away from turtle and swarm but do not put them out of render

3. Only approach to intercept sharks approaching the turtle and return to distance after killing hostiles.

4. Wait for bar to fill.

5. GGEZ turtle fortress :)

You can actually take it by knocking it out with shock darts and feeding it honey just make sure to trap it so it doesn’t escape. You can also knock it out with an electric prod to the shell.

Can passively make rare flowers and rare mushrooms when at surface of water, or on land

They bigger then a titanosaur. BELEIVE ME! Tame a turtle and a titanosaur and see for ur self

They strong enough to kill a giga

Meat takes much longer to spoil in its inventory.

Can anyone say me if is still possible to feed the turtle? If yes, please up

Honestly My Favourite Dino In Ark Altogether, On My Server, I Have 10+ Of These With Pop-Up Shops in them, Bad thing is transporting them though, one of the only dinos you should pump quite a bit of move speed in

Kite a Parakeet fish school to the giant turtle to tame. Too many people suggesting a microbe swarm, this is simply incorrect.

Even though it has a large health pool don’t be fooled! The mega turtle handles turrets very poorly. In offense its best use is the oxygen it gives while on its back. On every map besides genesis 1 and 2 being able to wear flak and still breath gives you a huge edge as the defenders can go back into the cave for air but the attacked have to go to the surface.

They need to fix the fish, the keep bugging out on lost island making them not follow

Agree with the tip regarding HUGE issues with the swarms and feeding. As of Fear Evolved 5, the swarms are incredibly bugged and IF you get one to a Megachelon to start the taming process, it only goes up a very short percentage before it’s gone. Myself and 2 other tribe mates spent 5 days off and on trying to tame a dark lavender shell turtle. But even with one watching the turtle and everyone else bringing swarms, it was simply impossible. I’m not sure why it’s so different from before. But don’t be discouraged if you’ve tried to tame recently and felt overwhelmed!

A good tip to kill them is to feed them a few parakeet fish from subnatica and then let all the megaledons and eals do all the work than kill all of them and harvest the body.

Hit it, trust me! It’s a instant tame if you hit it...a lot

You get about 11.5% per swarm and it takes some time. Good luck

The microbe swarms will stop agroing you while leading them. To fix this swim out of render of the swarm and then back in, repeat until swarm starts following or til you get it to the turtle

HLNA can see the school of fishs lvl higher they are the faster the taming

You don't have to be near the turtle to tame it or efficiëntie you can be in a different biom to tame it

Then also no creatures will attack it caus your not in render distance

You can Passive Tame it with meats by accessing the inventory under its schell. This has worked several times for me but may be a bug 👌

Just wait. Try getting the microbe swarm to the turtle. After that have it agro follow you to a 3x3 behemoth gateframe in shallow water and just wait. You have to protect it at all costs.
