All I did was hover my quetz above shoot from the quets, then grapple down to feed,however there was some kind of barrier that prevented my grapplegoing lower than the surface, y ou can get around this my going as far down as possible, then back up and quickly hold to realease line lower, this will make you jump and go fartherdown

Make yourself a longbow with plenty of tranqarrows, then build a big enough cage going from shore into the water with trapdoor and ladder close to the Dino gate, build a small platform to shoot from. Get it to chase you and wait for it to come thru the gate, then close the gates to trap it and fire on it till it K.O

People saying these suck don’t understand what these actually were in real life they were only a tiny bit bigger then the great white not some massive T rex of the sea….. that’s fictional and only in movies.. ark did good with them. Also sharks are suppose to be every were could you imagine how dmb that would be if they were OP.. just tame two high levels bread and make a strong pack and they will kill anything… I got one with 40k health and 1,000 melee… learn the game don’t complain

How to tame a Megalodon in 5 easy steps.

First, get a crossbow, tranq arrows, a good level Ichthyosaurus, your preferred food, and some narcotics.

Next, locate a Megalodon and kill all other dangerous creatures in the area including other Megalodons.

Then, circle around it while shooting it with arrows until it falls unconscious and when it does feed it.

Give it narcotics when necessary and now you have tamed a Megalodon.

Should yo tame these?

No

Tame itchy instead helps in exploring and can easily escape other megs

Tame anything else this unless youre taming like 9 of theses since it has a "Pack" bonus then the dmg is insane

Should you tame 9 of these?

No waste of time and resources

unless you have strong weapons,or there are creatures near by or you have good speedy creatures or stats give up they bite like a semi truck the are fast and if you see one there’s probably more near by so your best bet if the things I said near the start aren’t happening or you don’t have the good gear then your best bet is to get to shore as fast as possible but for the new Aquatica map thats COMEING out idk there is. No hope but if on any other map run to shore on get on your tame and run with your life if the things I said I said at the start aren’t true u can run while fight and donggeing it or you can try to have it be distracted by other creatures or you can slowly tranque it whilst running away respective to the same order as the beginning so ya thats what you can do

When I first played ark, I was terrified, but I was also interested in them. I’ve always wanted to tame a megalodon and eventually I did manage to tame a megalodon and here’s how first what you’re gonna do is get a crossbow get about I would say 10 to 30 Tranq arrows or maybe more you never know to knock it. Unconscious don’t use a bow and arrow you can’t use that underwater. Your best bet is a crossbow. Get on a high-level creature that you have tamed I used my. Sarco when the megalodon was attacking my. Sarco I continuously shot it with Tranq arrows this is a method I use a lot. Yes it is a very messy method sometimes, but it has worked. It does not work for giganotosaurus’s. Or carcharodontosaurus Titanosaurus and the rhyniognatha

You can also use this taming method with other high-level creatures. You have tamed, but be very careful it might work on mosasaurus‘s this taming method but it has to be a low level

I think if you dont yet have any sea tames, sharks are a good start, and your best bet for getting one is a baryonx or iguanodon. Bary is an obvious choice, but it isn't so easy to find a good one, so on a budget, a high level iguanodon is very underrated and will easily do the job. It is not so fast at sea so upgrade some move speed (you should anyway), but it is a decent fighter, typically with good enough weight and stamina (upgrade health and melee).

OR… a sarco, spino, a thylo, an anky, whatever you have that can swim really, would take out other lower level sharks easily, and then you can tame it with a dolphin.

Required: domesticated and saddled ichthyosaur; bow or crossbow (no gun); toxic arrows or tranquilizer arrows.

get on the ichthyosaur and provoke a megalodon, then move away by pointing the ichthyosaur’s snout in the opposite direction; at this point pull the arrows to the megalodon while he follows you, when he gets too close you move the ichthyosaur at a right distance.

Make sure you’re in an area without too many megalodonts beyond what you want to tame.

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.

How to tame a meg:

One have a baryonyx or sarco to swim down there

Two have a cross bow and get close to it with tranqs make sure to have meat

Three wait for your rex of the sea to tame

Four bring it back to your base

Five craft a saddle

Six ride your rex of the sea into battle

Seven feed it fish meat when tamed

Eight build a wall/little pen around it

Nine if you don't build a pen keep a eye on your meg!

To people who think meg should be bigger and stronger

First of all megalodon is actually early game Dino you get the saddle at lv40 between lv50 I think anyways second of all megalodon is not 5x bigger because it would crash servers (delete progress) and mega lag plus they would spawn and instakill you/raft thanks for reading!
