This guys are a bit of a pest, all the more while taming in the open waters. Use a strong melee weapon to slay it fast. A good enough sword can be obtained after completing the Hunt: Terror Birds pursuit.
Megalodon
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megalodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It has trouble hitting fast moving things like boats or a pelingoris, make sure it can’t hit you
If u need to avoid them then shoot a flare somewhere else away from u and they will follow the light
If you tame them they are so useful but in the wild they are annoying because whenever you want to cross a deep river they murder you
Swimming up or down while making your way back to shore is the best way to avoid their attacks. They can be deadly in packs now as they have bleed and an OP pack buff, so bring your own sea mounts to fight em.
These are quite hard tames until you realise their turn speed is horrible, then it’s so easy. Keep straining side ways and they can’t bite you. Tamed 2 at the same time solo
To be honest these are easy to kill on the shore atleast on mobile, just get a bow and arrows, I got a bunch of fish meat and some prime and even some teeth and clothes?! I got clothes from a shark
A pack of megs can easily take on a spino or Rex insanely fast
DO NOT PUT YOUR TAMES IN THE WATER THEY WILL GET EATEN ALIVE
When your finished taming it on ark mobile and you Meg gets 30 level ups 3 level ups for heath and then ready is for stamina because they have TRASH stamina I mean TRASH
Good for collecting black pearls
I found two Megs stranded in shore an they did not try to eat me and kill me they were nice for once
First off, get a whole bunch of these. You get your mantas or itchy(if you're on mobile), swim into an army of beasts, attract all of them into shallow water, and use your spyglass to see which ones you want. Then kill the ones you don't want with a good Dino or…
First off, get a whole bunch of these. You get your mantas or itchy(if you're on mobile), swim into an army of beasts, attract all of them into shallow water, and use your spyglass to see which ones you want. Then kill the ones you don't want with a good Dino or weapon(I used dire bear). After that block them off from the sea so that they can't run away and yeet them with tranques. They are unconscious for a super long time so don't worry about constantly hovering over the,.you don't need a pen or anything just make sure nothing interferes. Then you got yourself like 10 Megalodons.
If you are free swimming and you see one run away as fast as possible if you do not see it before it sees you your dead
I fist fought 3 megas, now I have 3 megas. They are just chilling in the water near my base
When I went to the red obelisk it was by mistake and I didn’t even realise the Megalodon army I just went through the water on my raft and went to see what it was. While I was doing that I had a mission to go the whole way around the island and I left the raft which reset it…
When I went to the red obelisk it was by mistake and I didn’t even realise the Megalodon army I just went through the water on my raft and went to see what it was. While I was doing that I had a mission to go the whole way around the island and I left the raft which reset it and I was 4/5 of the way there.
If you need a megalodon I would recommend bringing 2 stacks of meat with you here are the steps: 1.craft the necessary trans 2.knock out the highest level 3.put in the meat 4.if it’s a really high level use narcotics to keep it asleep. Enjoy your new megalodon
So not sure what the issue is with megalodon by themselves not great but still with a decent saddle and melee I’ve taken out alphas with ease upgrade that to a pack of 4 or more and watch them work took on a 145 alpha mosa with 3 sharks and they melted it barely took any damage
These things honestly suck 😔 I have a high lvl one and it does jack-crap 😔 For one... everything agros on it??? Even other MEGLADONS!!! While Icthy’s can just run free 🤦♂️ The fact that the dolphin honestly is better than a fricking Megaladon is insane and…

Make sure there no other nearby megalodon because they aggro to your megalodon which is all ready low lost 3 megalodon because of this so ether kill the rest of them or tame them too -rungunsss
How to tame: First, find your meg. Once you find one, lead it close to shore and start shooting it with tranquilizer arrows by dragging them on a crossbow. Once it becomes unconscious, feed it raw fish meat. Use prime fish meat to tame faster or a soothing balm. If you can’t…
How to tame: First, find your meg. Once you find one, lead it close to shore and start shooting it with tranquilizer arrows by dragging them on a crossbow. Once it becomes unconscious, feed it raw fish meat. Use prime fish meat to tame faster or a soothing balm. If you can’t get either one, feed it narcotics to keep it unconscious while it tames. Enjoy your new meg!
