What are tips for megachelon? Tips and strategies for megachelon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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 ride to surface and imprint.
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
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.
Fun fact use it in the lunar biome to gather stone, crystal, wood thatch fiber like crazy from lunar bushes, go to the Arctic to get sap from trees, go to ocean to get silk and plant y seeds and big biome for plant x from those narco plants. Volcano needs testing to see what it's good for. Enjoy building stone behe gates in lunar :)
30 min tame no matter what level
I love u need to kill another one for making its saddle.
Thanks...
(Me realizing after Timing one)
My idea tame two make Baby and kill it for ravange >:{
You have to bring a microbe swarm to it. The swarm will swim beside it and it will tame. Everything else is wrong. This is the intended way to do it
Just confirmed you can not tame while knocked out.
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 thing it’s fun.
The swarm is a pain to get them to it but besides that it's easy. Swim around find a swarm, swim backward so.they can keep up with u. Get them near and boom. U have to kill sabers and those passive fish every 3 seconds or so so be ready with a sarco or something. Get 2 scuba tank and a otter an u'll be fine. Be careful not to attack the swarm or turtle when fighting off sabers. The turtles give oxygen and stamina off so that's in case of emergency. Make sure they aren't stuck on something because that stopped me from taking them twice. Don't know why but it did. Now u got a big a turtle for ur turtle needs
When feeding the fish, make sure to not lead two parakeet fish at the same time, it will kill the turtle
