Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

When people say, ‘ughghhugh, these SUCK.’ They are right, and that is sad. These are meant to be of the REX of the sea. (mosa is the giga) intstead, you can outrun them with and ithcy, kill them with a cross bow, and they are just plain BAD. These should be AT LEAST 5x their current size, and their bite is supposed to be one of the strongest in the world. These should be respected by the devs. Like so that this will be fixed.
Alpha megs murder icthys tha are unridden and not yet trained fully. Rest in Peace Dill! You saved us at a cost. The cost of a warriors death. 1 upv○te is 1 person who feels what I feel.
Already wrote a Tip on here but I guess I didnt emphasize enough facts for these monsters of the deep. 1. THEY HAVE A PACK BONUS OF UP TO 8 INCREASING THEIR ATTACK DMG GREATLY. 2. THEIR BLEED EFFECT WILL SHRED HIGH HP SOAKERS AND ATTACK TAMES LIKE TUSOS OR MOSAS! Also my Megs shred 100k HP in seconds I have video evidence. please throw some love on this comment so that the ark community doesnt continue to live in the deep dark of megalodon ignorance.
To the people complaining that this guy should be larger:
If you look on the dossier it says the scientific name of the Ark Megalodon is Charcharodon Ultramegalodon. This species is imaginary and does exist in the real world, so technically they can make it as small as a coelacanth or as big as the titanosaur and it won’t be scientifically inaccurate cuz there is no accurate thing to compare it to. The genus Charcharodon, however, is real. It contains the great white and its extinct relatives. Most scientists nowadays believe that the real megalodon belongs to the genus Otodus, which is not even in the same family as Charcharodon. So basically the reason why the Megalodon in Ark looks like a slightly bigger great white is because it is literally a slightly bigger great white, as its scientific name provided by the dossier suggests a much closer relationship with great whites than actual megalodons.
This real genus imaginary species thing is actually quite common with creatures in Ark and probably explains why so many of the creatures are considered scientifically inaccurate. Since we call most ancient animals with their genus and not species we may not even notice that their species are not real.
Please let all ocean tames be able to jump out of the water like the Manta, and no insta-kill if you dismoumt.
Imagine nailing a Ptera mid-air with this, it would be so cool! Give the Meg a grab similar to Kapro too, this guy really needs an update as others have mentioned here :)
Step 1. Tame a manta
Step 2. Use the manta and all the surrounding sharks will agro on you and follow you
Step 3. Bring it closer to shore and tranq it out
Step 4. Feed it meat and it doesn’t need narcotics
Step 5. Name it Noah ( because it’s ark - Noah’s ark? Get it? It also rhymes with shark, see? Noah’s ark, shark. See? It’s perfect
Try to find a megladon by the shore and tranq it out it shallow water or on shore so it can't attack you.
1. Get an ichthy with a saddle
2. Find a megalodon underwater
3. Kite the megalodon to shallow water with your ichthy
4. Tranquilize it from the shore or a rock safely
5. Make sure you don't keep shooting it after it is KO (I learned this the hard way)
6. Name it Bruce
Up if these sharks need a TLC Right?
stay away from Alfa’s because they will eat you and they ate my level 55 sarco and it was my first:( can I get a F in the chat for sarcy boii
I tamed this with a ramshackle slingshot when I was level 15 like not hard to tame btw I was on herbivore island and I tamed 3 easy tame especially on mobile.
The #1 thing that needs to be in TLC 3. At least make it as large and powerful as the mosa. Should have one of the highest attack dammages because scientists have proven that the megalodon has the most powerful bite of any living thing and is strong enough to crush a tractor trailer.
To tame you have to use a crossbow because a long neck rifle can't shoot underwater.
Like do that other people can see it.
I was taming one of these bad boys in the herbie island pool and when i finally got it to torpor run it beached itself but still lived if you know what i mean. Ark logic? Anyways it stopped moving and i figured it was just stuck. make sure to check your taming tracker. Thats why i had a lvl 67 shark instead of 89.(i was new to the game ok?) This was in ASE not ASA.
megalodons CAN'T get into dino gatesï¼u can't build a boat with underwater taming pen to trap them.just lure one to shallow water and tranq it.
People saying the Mfs suck.. BUT A LVL 10 ALONE KILLED MY LVL 55 SARCO, LIKE WTH MAN!!
Also RIP September :( (my sarco)
1. Get a itchthy
2. Get a good crossbow (any works)
3. Find a good Megalodon
4. Fire Tranq arrows from Itchthy
- Itchthys don’t attract any water creature, use that advantage against the mega
-You can use weapons on an itchthy!
I agree with the guy saying it was too small.
