When I tamed my megalodon I stood just in the water on the beach and was able to hit it with my crossbow drawing it in closer and then used my boat and went over to it game it my raw meat and it was mine in no time.
Megalodon

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megalodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I thought sharks could only see you if you are moving I found out I was wrong when it ate my face
Lure it close to boat and shoots tranqs at it till it goes down
First comment is FAKE. Megalodon is actually the one-in-not-so-many creatures in ARK that is over sized. Turn to tpp and you would find this beast is actually huge. It’s just that other creatures are just way too big. In the world we are in, Megalodon should be the biggest…

It’s just that other creatures are just way too big. In the world we are in, Megalodon should be the biggest predator in the sea. Although creatures in ARK is pretty much made up, but as reference to the real world it is sad that megalodon is still poor in design even after the buff(made it a piranha basically)
i have i tip to get there tooth first you need to do the task name tame a ithcy then they will give you free saddle for them in now get close to the meg in hit him until he die ithcys like a raptor in the sea
Megalodons make great starter water mounts. They do good damage and have a fair amount of health. Later in the game where you can breed high level sharks and have packs of them, they make for one of the best water tames in groups!
Pretty slow and not very good with weight, but a pack of these guys will butcher just about anything
My level 4 bronto got killed by these guys,really annoying when lots attack at once
Using net guns is a good way to prevent a wild Dino from attacking you when attempting to knock out.
One time I tamed 1 icthyosaurus and named it water (my real name)
And I leveled him to lvl 10 we were so close until 2 lvl 23 Megs killed him in cold blood
Killing these guys are good for leveling up if you want to level your kaprosuchus, sarcosuchus, or baryonyx. That's what I do. My sarcos hit for about 300 damage each and they can take on a squads of megalodon with ease.
You think megaloeons are anoying try x-megalodons on genises they do like twice as much damage and take about 60% reduced damage
Well, I was trying to tame parasaur without Bola (I was new) the parasaur runs into the ocean my dilopharsaurus runs after it and this thing kills my dilo
Just tame a high level one of these and it will destroy anything. I only fight the low level alpha mosas's tho....
Anyone know how to kill one of these things, I say this because you kill one and all of them show up. And they’re too stupid to stay within range of my crossbow!
Whenever you encounter a Alfa mega lead it to land whenever I do that they just die by themselves (it’s like they can’t stand how good looking I am) then punch/pickaxe/axe there dead bodies and take their loot.
To the person who kills megalodon with tranq arrows: try to wait five seconds in between shots because the health can drop before torpor, and before it passes out it dies. It only takes a couple arrows to knock it out just watch torpor and health.
1:make crossbow
2:make tranq arrows
3:find meg
4:shoot meg
5:feed meg fish meet
And now you got your meg
