Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megachelon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megachelon.
Passive tame- Swim mid/deep ocean and look for a parakeet fish school and swim them to the megachelon, passive tame will start when school goes to megachelon. Will reset if hit.
Cannot tame out of render distance it was patched. Your best bet is to ask someone for a egg or breed the ones you have already
Bring the schools of fish to them by grabbing the fist with a tuso wait a few seconds and then lead the rest of the way just swimming with flippers
If you don’t have Genesis DLC use the command Summon giantturtle_character_bp_c and forcetame That’s how I made a swimming house
Bring good armor and a healthy tame, the fish can dish out alot of damage and standing next to one for only a second could mean death, the fish have a low aggro radius so leading them can be tedious. Once you have successfully made the fish follow the turtle (the fish will stick very close to the turtles butt) have one person on foot follow the turtle around and another on a bary farther away to kill sharks. Side note all turtles tame at the same rate regardless of the lvl from what I've seen.
Lead a sea swarm near it and it will slowly be tamed. The saddle requires the things it drops when you kill them shell fragments
NEVER TAME MEGACHELON AGAIN.
95% TAME PROGRESS GOT RESET BY MEGALODON SPAWNINH OUT OF NOWHERE
They will lose taming progress if not swimming in water.
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.
When doing my first mega tame, I was using a megalodon and when the swarm of fish caught up with me,(I had to drag them slowly from faraway,) they hit me and my megalodon ATE them! I hate taming megachelons!
To tame them i try to use a scuba suit though it is possible without one just a little harder
The parakeet fish are drawn to poop in the water. Could potentially be used to kite them easier towards turtles.
use a bloodstalker to protect the parakeet whilst taming easy crowd control
1. Be aware that you need to be very close to the Megachelon while taming. Otherwise the fish swarm disappears.
2. Consider to bring a friend Who Deals with wild megalodons and other creatures because any harm to the megachelon interruptes the tame.
3. Bring a Pike or at best a tek rifle for killing wild fish. Wild sabertooth salmons and colecanth will appear to feed from the fish swarm while taming the megachelon wich makes the fish swarm disappear.
4. It seems that the fish swarm only hunts you Down on open ocean. I consinder It is buggy but the fish swarm seems to rather aggro you in flat water.
5 hour incubation timer, at the bottom of the scar in the ocean. Eats berrys.
On smaller servers you can take the swarm to it and leave the area supposing that part of the world is not loaded by players nothing will happen to it
Passive tame, the most efficient way to tame it is using a microbe swarm a group of agressive fish, once you lure it to the "Meg" it will start to swim around the 'meg' starting the slow taming process
I play official and have tamed a couple of these there simple but hard to tame first u want to trap it then u might need a second player to stay close to it so it won’t go out of the trap when u get out of tender distance then u find the swarm fish and u can use the HLNA drone to scan the fish to see what lvl the swarm is depending on the lvl the less swarm fish u need so if u find a 150 swarm u will be able to tame any lvl megachelon off that single swarm but u must sit there and watch it when I did it the first time I wasn’t looking and it kept resetting the taming bar even tho there were not enemies nearby so u have to keep watching it while it tamed or u can tame it with the glitch and all u have to do is do the same thing except soon as u Afro the swarm fish on the turtle use HLNA to teleport away and watch ur tribe log for when u tame it it will tame eventually while ur at ur base doing whatever hope this helps 👍🏿
Lead a swarm to it and swim next to it
You need to get a swarm of fishes under the turtle, but more creature's that will try to attack the fishes, if they are attacked, you have to start over.
You can tell how close it is to taming by the amount of barnicales are left, the less there are, the closer it is to being tamed
