Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megachelon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megachelon.
Dont try and get them stuck on a wall because like spiderman theyll climb it and you can kiss your 95% taming efficiency good bye
Find one, find a fish swarm, bring swarm over, let it tame, protect swarm from fish and other crap, wait for an hour or so, turtle that’s the size a giga basically is now your and go as fast as a compy.
Once found a Megachelon, search for a Microbe Swarm in it's premises. draw the swarm to the turtle and swim under it until taming starts. the level of the swarm seems to effect taming speed, effectiveness is always 100%. multiple swarms seem to be possible to shorten taming time even more. salmon bites reset taming completely! once taming starts leave it quickly by moving out of render. tribe log will inform you about finished tame.
To breed they have to be pretty deep witch can be dangerous. There is A cave located at 26.5 47.8 on the GPS witch is safe and deep enough.
If you are in the water like I was and you can't feed it than you must swim with it
Swim very close to it and the taming bar will pop up
IMPORTANT TIP FOR TAMING-
Don't.
On a more serious note kill every nearby eel before starting and use a decent crossbow for the salmon and coels that try to eat the parakeet fish. :]

They're pretty easy to take.
Get an underwater tame. I highly recommend the Basilosaurus, as the jellyfish + squid + eels can't knock you off or stun you.
Head to the underwater trenches and reefs near the far left side of the Fjordur map, turtles will be everywhere.
If possible, get a Tek Helmet and activate the sonar down there near the ocean floor. This will detect a school of fish for you.
When you find one, agro them and lead them to your Meacheron. They'll de-agro on you and begin following the turtle, and this will start your tame.
(Be sure to protect them from Megalodon, Ichty and Coecalanth)
Don’t let a shark near it or it’s taming will erase
You can incubate them in the egg incubator.
Its a big glitchy but it definitely works.

Well I will say this don’t try and tame it’s near impossible and they have really bad damage but they have op health and you can build on them and they provide air underwater hope this info helped to tame them you need to lure a fish horde to them and keep it safe and carnivores will be attracted during this process and it takes like 36mins to tame :)
Don't even waste your time, all are 30+ mins to tame and 99% of the time you can’t even hit the stupid fish that are eating the swarm
Got one to 60% on one parakeet school. Noticed a salmon or coel following the school and killing it. Killed the fish and literally watched one more spawn and do the same. No successful one swarm tames yet but I'm going to keep trying
While taming sabertooth salmons will attack the swarm, watch out for them if you don't want to get a second (or a third, a forth... (been there done that)) parakeetswarm. Watch out for Sharks and those eel things ,too while you're at it.
You must be DISMOUNTED when trying to initially get the microbe swarm to aggro the turtle. After that, you may re-mount. As long as a player (any tribe, possibly unintended) is in very close proximity to the turtle, it will tame at a static rate regardless of level. It takes ~30-45 mins to tame without reset.
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 👍🏿
When it comes to taming or baiting this to an area, be careful as the longer it stays around the area for the more sharks and eels spawn.
Just give him 1 Honey so he goes on like 90% then you kite a mircrobe swarm behind you to the megachelon and just Follow hin subtil finish
The best area to tame is Ocean: SW. I found plenty of them swimming around, including the 150 male I have tamed. There is a trench that spawns the fish swarm, guide it to the giant turtle & YOU CAN WATCH FROM A DISTANCE! You do not need to be near the turtle for it to continue taming, bring a swimming tame that’s fast enough to guide Megalodon‘s to another turtle so you’re taming progress doesn’t reset when they bite you’re turtle. This took over an hour with taming 3x. Hope this helps!
4 ways to tame on launch. Spoiler alert they all suck this is definitely the hardest tame in the game. I’m sure a few of the methods will be patched. 1. Trap it on land. Then knock it out with bio-darts. 2. Clip into turtle and feed it. 3. Find swarm and slowly lead it to turtle (swarm attacks player even when mounted so don’t die) then protect it while the tame feeds on the swarm. 4. After the swarm has initially attached to turtle. You can still swim with the turtle to tame it(works on mounts). Even if the swarm dies or Aggros another creature. But you still have to protect it from being hit or it will reset to 0%. Just tamed one on Xbox using method 4.
