Use honey not meat or berries it will tame a lot faster.

You can breed them in the squid trench on rag and incubate the eggs there also π so ppl see this. No information about this on here.
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 Iβm stuck with the turtles I have, Iβve 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.
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 to fit tightly between. Make sure you have a speargun or crossbow to kill coels and sabersalmon since they spawn and eat the fish swarm. Go ahead and trap your megachalon. You dont need a roof on your trap since the creature gets stuck in the doors. Here's where things change depending on solo tame or duo taming. You must be within a few blocks for it to maintain in taming. So if you have a partner, choose who will stay with the megachalon and who will be pulling swarms to the tame. Put poop in your last slot to maintain aggro of swarm. You most likely will need multiple swarms. If doing solo, get at least 4 swarms just out of agro of megachalon before starting and then kite each as needed to the tame.
Lead it into a line of stone behemoth gates and close a gate behind it and it will be trapped or you make a square box of Dino gates and nothing can mess its taming up while itβs being tamed so up this!!!!!!!
Make sure to stick close while it's taming. They patched it so you can no longer tame it out of render distance
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
These things eat more than gigas when raising them. Be prepared to feed them A LOT. They are omnivores but I recommend not raising other tames at the same time unless you have a lot of troughs. I raised four at once and they emptied 8 tek troughs on official rates overnight in about 7 hours.
