What are tips for megalodon? Tips and strategies for megalodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
X-type 140 took me about 140 arrows with prim crossbow .
Basically the raptor of the sea: annoying and everywhere
I killed three of them while riding a sarco
You can unlock their saddle relatively early in the game.
Just aggro the megalodon and stand on the shore when you tranq it.
Don't get stuck.
I used 10 tranq arrows with a cross bow and 10 raw meat to tame for a level 10 not 20 raw meat
Was able to trap it in a boat very easy tame that way. Named the boat Orca did not get destroyed...doing better then Flynn...
The X type takes about 3x more arrows to knock it out from what i can tell this is the same for most x dinos.
While taming an x meg, use tranq spears instead of darts or arrows, seem to work better for me
Their new gashing/bleeding effect is deadly even to a high level imprinted basilo solo if they start to swarm you
The easiest way to kill these guys is to lead them to the shore and for some reason they will glitch and get stuck, letting you get close and personal (without getting attacked) or you can shoot it down with your ranged weapon. I wish I knew that before I lost a perfectly new pteranodon! Every up= RIP for Dwayne and everyone else’s tames lost! 😞
They spawn a lot around the red obelisk and the ocean by the most western spawn area
Check the level before killing or taming it because a good high level shark can be very good for deep sea loot crates
The meg is so-used to be insane but if you have an itchy on mobile they’re usually passive.
These mofos killed my dolphin 😭😭😭
Fairly easy tame with slingshot on mobile. I found a female stuck on herb island, grabbed meat, knocked it out and started tame ing it. Trill in the process, but ye! Just get like 300 hungered rocks and like 3 slingshots and ur good! (Mobile btw)
For the 100% chance of death for the pachy primary attack, it's talking about the pachy, not the meg
