Lure it into shallow water, stand on shore & shoot tranq arrows. If it runs away, just go back in the water, shoot it, and get back out.

You need to take fins or another water Dino. Also for you noobs regular bows don't work underwater nether do slingshots or guns only use crossbow or harpoon gun.

Create an underwater pen with behemoth gate and choke door and window on other side . Lure into behemoth , close , Slip through choke door - shoot through window , presto

The Megalodon isn't very good compared to creatures like the Dunkleosteus, it isn't as fast as an icthyosaur neither, don't bother taming if you have an icthyosaur to get away from large dinos.

Literally beyond easy to tame, crossbow, swim in circles, aim for the head, knocked out a lvl 15 and it didn't even hit me, it is wise to do it near the surface since it will prob be an early tame so you don't have to go deep to top up torpor, if at all

Used really well to collect angler gel and to kill basilosaurus for oil

Make a Shark Cage out of wood or better and tranq it with crossbow. You can learn how to make this cage at the Gaming Kiwi YouTube Channel.

If you want to kill one then get an army of ichthys

How to tame a Megalodon in ARK

One of these motherfrickers killed my prize Spinosaurus. I was running from titanosaurs! Now I'm stuck 6 miles from my base on my pteranadon

When your taking the megalodon once you have knocked it out don’t shoot it again to make it sleep longer use narcotics because then the taming effectiveness will go down and you will get a lower level megalodon

Everybody says this is terrible and I mostly agree except the fact that I can kill these and it is not very hard for me and my basilosaurus lvl 2 could kill one of these right after I tamed it the meg was lvl 15. Me and my basilosaurus who completely ok not even a hint of being in a fight. How do u guys explain that, huh? My basilosaurus killed it in like 3 seconds I barely knew what happened!!

STAY OUT OF THE OCEAN OR YOU WILL BE SWARMED BY AT LEAST 7

I’m gonna be honest here I tamed a meg by leading it to shallow waters and knowing it out with my mastercraft bow and gave it some prime boom ez tame

Just find a high level one, kill all the others and get prime fish meat, and knock it out and tame it. (Super low torpor)

to the people who says they are bad they are not they are op, my level 3 megladon saved me from a level 90 mosasaur they are worth taming

This may sound weird but it works. Tame a scorpion and level up damage and then continue to sting the Meg. This actually works I have tried it lol!

So I was in the capabilities section and I saw that the meg can't break stone but I have a water platform made of stone and it gets damaged by megs all the time

It needs to be bigger and have a grab. fun fact in real life the average size is about 45 to 50

Two major ways to tame.

1. Build a trap. They can only fit through behemoth dino gateways. They cannot fit through normal doorways. Lead it (via flippers or an Ichthy) through the behemoth and then exit via the smaller normal doorways. Close the gate and knock it out. Megs can't damage stone, FYI.

2. Get flippers or an Ichthy and find a good shark. Shoot at it. When it (and all nearby sharks) gets close swim away. Repeat until it's unconscious. Put your food on it and then kite the other nearby megs out of render distance. They won't attack it while unconscious but they will as soon as it's tamed.
