Tips & Strategies
Go into the ocean in fjordor around the swamp island In the west of the map. You should see some turtles so to tame them find a school of fish and let them follow you to the large turtle. Swim beside it and try and get the fish to target the turtle. This will start the taming process keep doing this till tamed. For the saddle kill the turtles to get shell fragments and combine 22 of them with standard materials in a smithy. You can build on their saddle but don't cryopod if you have built. Make sure others see this
Ps: they are originally from genesis 1 in the ocean biome.
More Megachelon Taming & KO Tips
You can breed them in the squid trench on rag and incubate the eggs there also
Easy tame, agrow fish on them and move far away, the tame will work 0 to 100%
Passive Tame: You kite a parrot fish swarm to the turtle then guard the turtle from sharks and things.
While the turtle "feeds" on the swarm! Any damage resets timer to 0!
Getting inside it with Honey is BS and will NOT work.
They have patched the render range range so ignore any tips that say to leave render as it will no longer. Guess I’m stuck with the turtles I have, I’ve spent three hours trying to take one of these things and had it walk out of the water which reset it taming! It was at 80% that time. Never got it above 20 after that. What he for the saber tooth salmon that spawn to kill the swarm if they bite the turtle it resets to zero and you start over. Extremely frustrating way to tame a creature. I would like to beat whoever came up with this idea.
wait THATS HOW YOU TAME IT????
uhhhhh
*admincheat forcetame*
Alright to actually tame this giant turtle you need to lead a microbe swarm to the turtle, then protect it from sharks and eels while it passively swims around and eats the swarm
30 min tame no matter what level
When feeding the fish, make sure to not lead two parakeet fish at the same time, it will kill the turtle
Not actually as hard as you think. Also people say he "eats" the fish but I think they are cleaning him.
You can also knock out tame them but you need to use shocking tranquilizer darts and get all head shots or it will die
