Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megachelon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megachelon.
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.
Swim to the bottom and aggro swarm on you then bring them to the turtle and they will agro on it and it will tame will eating them
Lure a fish swarm to tame it. You can use berries and other things but these are bugged and not intentional
Build a giant pen and punch it and lure it in and then feed it a microbe swarm. There tiny little silver fish found in the deep waters. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, GO TAME IT!
It gets attacked by Sabertooth Salmon, dont bother defending just leave render if you in low pop and or no ones around
Build a big ass taming pen spawn West in ocean and then go south by following the wall you will find that weirdo structure in the water you able to build around we did 25 behemoth gate you can bring swarm fish inside before you bring the turtle make sure someone is looking to them when the turtle is inside bring the swarm fish near to it be atleast 3 people 4 will be amazing and easier for aggrowing fish inside the taming pen a saberthoot salmon will spawn and eat the swarm fish dropping is taming procedure chance I try to kill it but it's have more health then a normal one if you it the turtle by trying that you lose the taming procedure back to zero kill also the coecthlant as they will eat the swarm fish aswell we got our first giant tortoise and I'm happy to share with you how to do it
Go in third person go under the megach be right under the shell to the point where you are touching it look up and it should give you the option to passive tame 👍
If you want to find the parakeet fish schools easily hit an ammonite so everything aggros to you and move around until it says you are being targeted by the swarm. Then kill any large creatures that attack you and you should have you self a fish swarm to tame the mega hell on with
Taming this things is a nightmare you have to protect it and feed it more then one swarm of fish and fish like to peck. My only advice to this to find one with nothing dangerous and find two too three schools of fish.
If you are in foot it would be easyer but this swarms do allot if damage so bring good armour or a slow tanky Mount such as a Basilosaurus
You can carry the school of fish with the tuso so people can see
Get the turtle in open water if possible by aggroing it to avoid it getting caught on reef or land. If it stops moving the salmon make quick work of your parakeet taming school of fish, and game over...Clear any big nasties, reset aggro on the parakeet fish by getting out of render distance and then kite them (dismounted) onto the turrle. Once the parakeet fish are on the turtle, swim around behind , rotating to face it as it circles. Position yourself between any coelocanth or salmon that spawn, facing them as they try to munch through your taming school of fish. Make sure you face AWAY from the turtle, and stab away with a pike. Only way i tried that worked solo.....
Use 2 Basilo (Whale) and 2 people in the water to lure The swarm, The riders protect the turtle while one swimmer stays near the turtle to watch Taming Process and the other swimmer Lures the swarm.
Does anyone know if it has a weight reduction of any kind and of what
Bring a basilo if your going to tame one of these, the swarm will stayed arrgoed on you and anything thstbelse that follows is faster than the swarm and you can just speed up and clean up. vote so everybody knows.
The fish are attracted to poof
Es gibt hier relativ oft den Tipp mit der Scheiße, ich hab es ausprobiert und glaube rausgefunden zu haben das es allgemein schwimmende Sachen sind, besonders mit einem Toten Fisch hat es viel besser funktioniert weil er zuehbar war im Gegensatz zu der Scheiße :)
Wenn es euch geholfen habt Voted es hoch !
In English:
I tested the Poop Strategy but I think I found the real thing :D they live all objects also stuff like dead fishes, and you can pull the fish so it's a lot better :)
If this Tipp helps you, vote it so everyone can see it !
Dont tame on 1x, way too many salmons spawn and it makes it hard to kill them when they get in real close to the chelon without resetting the tame, taming needs to be faster on 1x as well.
Everytime you kill 1 fish another spawns literally straight away, its broken
I just want to point this out if you want a easy way to tame a mosa or megalodon or any big sea Dino you can just find a air poket get the Dino to follow you go on the pocket and place a behemoth gate behind it then BOOM it’s stuck
My bootleg way to tame it is to lead a microbe swarm to it then leave the area. depending on the swarms level you'll only need one to tame it, to check the level of the swarm use the button that brings up the hud for using orbital camera and thrird person HLNA will then show you. The best way I've found to bring the swarm to it without trouble is to eat a cactus broth. Once the turtle is tamed it'll show in your tribe log afterwards you just need to go back to its last known location and find it.
