Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megachelon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

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

If breeding on Lost Isles head to 42.5 lat 17.8 lon. you can breed in the bottom of that mini trench thing. Area is too hot to hatch in but you can just build a mini hut with an incubator and gen at the bottom. Set incubator to -5 that's my sweet spot.afterwards cryo it up…

Preparation is key to not spending 10+ plus hours like I did the first time trying to tame. First setup behemoth gates each with doors in the shallow water as a trap. I'd say 5 to be safe but can be done with just 2. Allow space between behemoth gates big enough for a mosa…

On ark ascended gen one the water boome changed a bit and so did the method to tame these. The sabertooth salmon and coels that spawn will no longer hit the megachelon resetting the tame making it a bit easier as you only have to make sure other wild sea creatures don't…

Rock nodes and plants spawn on top of his flattish shell. Provides shell-wide air bubble when submerged. Is massive, and able to be built upon. Looks super cool.

You can build on there back without saddle and you can stand on there back underwater DO NOT cryo these guys if you build on there back if you wanna keep the building you will loose all of it platform or not .

Press the sky so people don’t make the same mistake as I did…

A Megachelon's taming food, the fish school, are EXTREMELY easy to spot at night with night vision goggles. They glow.

If you decide to kill the megachelon then stand on the back of it and start attacking this will force them to stay at the surface and they can’t attack you. If you have a tame I suggest a blood stalker because if you attack and move left and right you can actually steer the…

This is the perfect base if you hear you getting raided swim to a different spot if you want to raid someone swim to them btw it spawns metal nodes sometimes rich ones on its shell
