Tips & Strategies
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.
More Megachelon Utility Tips
Probably the best platform dino to live on, the megachelon can fit a 5 by 7 of foundations on its shell, and many structures, like chemistry benches, grinders, and even industrial forges can be built on it while staying there when underwater. You don't even need scuba gear when going underwater, staying above one provides oxygen. Not only this, but they actually have surprisingly good melee damage, as well as being one of, if not the best fiber harvester in the game. Different resources will constantly build up in its inventory, including rare mushrooms and flowers. They also automatically irrigate any crops placed of them. Get an imprinted one for extra speed, damage, and resistance, then give it an good armor saddle from the frog escort mission in the bog, and you have an extremely tanky resource gathering portable base, war machine, greenhouse, and water exploration mount!
