An easy way to kill megalodons would be to lure them onto land. They will get “locked” or full-on beached, making them easy to attack (I recommend projectile weapons when fighting a locked megalodon). They sometimes swim after taking too much damage, but it is relatively easy to lure them back.

South Haven is a great spot to look for these to tame, especially in the bay in the middle of the island, all you have to do to tame one there is kill all the fish in there besides the megalodon you want (I suggest using a baronyx to kill the other fish with its stun ability) and then tranquilizer the one you want with a crossbow.

How to step by step

- Get a lot. LOT. of tranq arrows.

- After getting around 200-150 arrows get a crossbow

- You can use tranq spears in harpoons too!

- Get on a icthy (throwaway icthy)

- Find a lone shark with no mantas, other sharks, etc

- Get as far away as possible while being Able to hit

- Watchyour distance from shark and wait 5 seconds between shots.

-Tranq it

- Put around 100-150 fish meat in it

- Tame

And boom! That’s how I did it! Ofc please don’t forget to breathe when you need to. And these fellows need behemoth doors if your going to put it in a pen!

They are a good fighting early/mid-game mount

They have a decent amount of health and have a small turning circle, meaning that it is quite easy to kill mosas / alpha mosas

If you let a tuso grab you and if you dismount your meg you can easily kill the tuso with a good sword

They are great for farming angler gel but I would recommend using an ichty if you are on mobile because they won’t defend themselves

For anything that is not fighting, I think the ichty is still better: it can outrun any predators if you accidentally attack them. But if you live on herb island for example you might have noticed that there are some quite big fishy bois down there so you might want to use a meg to clear the area out

Hope this was useful ^^
