Tips & Strategies

What are tips for megachelon? Tips and strategies for megachelon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When Taming if it walks up on land, throw honey into the water to lure it back in.
If you want to see the tame in a video search Sentraxion on YouTube.
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.
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.
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!
Kite a Parakeet fish school to the giant turtle to tame. Too many people suggesting a microbe swarm, this is simply incorrect.
They need to fix the fish, the keep bugging out on lost island making them not follow
How to tame the elusive Megacheon
1.do a easy mission like a fishing one or King of the swing.
2.gain the points and spend them on rare flowers(a lot of them you have to keep the fish aggrieved)
3. Get a tek helmet and some scuba flippers.
4.eat a bunch of the flowers and turn on your tek helmet.
5.swim at the bottom of the ocean floor until you see a swarm with your tek vision.
5/6 place a transponder on the megachelon you want to tame.
6 one you find them go to the megachelon you want to tame this may take a while so pack some just in case flowers.
7.sit there and protect your taming megachelon
8.once tamed you can build its platform saddle
Thanks for reading this has not been tested 8 play on the Nintendo switch and I am looking forward to the new updates coming on July 1st give this post 5000 likes and I will do the rhnio next seen you next time
If you tamed this using the render method, you are a cat. If you tamed this using blood, sweat and tears, you are a legend.
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.
So at this point in time it's hitbox for the passive tame is located inside it's body. I had to ghost inside it to tame one
