Since the latest patch made so these guys do bleed damage they can really be a pain in the ass, my Barry almost died to 3 megs yesterday, and before the patch it would murder all the megalodons

Warning: When tamed wild ones CAN and WILL target your tamed ones. BUILD A PEN!!!

There are a ton spawning up by the hidden lagoon!

Swimming up or down while making your way back to shore is the best way to avoid their attacks. They can be deadly in packs now as they have bleed and an OP pack buff, so bring your own sea mounts to fight em.

The top comment states that these should be at least 5x as big as they are which is incorrect as in ark they are 16 meters long and in real life they were around 19 meters long

I found a level five meg when I was sarco hunting I used a club and this worked great luckily my water Dino didn’t die in the proses.

I spawned at a beach and the water was filled with a whole ton of Megalodons there was also spino nearby and killed everything I had so I let it into their territory the spino cleaned them out but then it died.

Use scuba flippers a decent damage crossbow and you'll have the Meg knocked out in no time because you can swim faster then a wild Meg with flippers your welcome no pen needed no other animal needed just you and arrows just don't don't swim backwards to long......it'll catch you

Description:The Megaladon is kinda strong knockout taming

You don’t look right now they look different.

If you tame an ichtyosaurus before, you can beat a Megalodon when you’re riding the ichtyo, he will not attack you back (even if he do you can escape easily)

So i log in the game and there is a glitch the Megalodon is out of water and is unconscious and I had some meat and I tamed it I had to kill some of my Dino’s tho

to those who have thalassophobia and wants to go in ocean on ark, try to practice yourself diving with an itchy below surface and roam so your anxiety will lessen until its gone completly.

after that try to tame megalodon using itchy or bary (use bary if you're not still fine with your phobia) because bigger aquatic mount empowers your mind for you to be not scared.

if you're done taming your first megalodon, congratulations cuz you just wasted your time and scared yourself in ocean hehehe

They seem intimidating, but they're surprisingly an easy tame. Personally what always worked best for me was attracting them to shore, placing a bunch of dead dodos on the shoreline. The shark would get stuck in the ground, then I would use a long rifle with tranq darts and shoot it in the head.

I killed one of these guys with a level 6 itchy. The hit box is just sad.

I JUST SAw A MEG JUMp OUT oF THe WATER WHILE I was tameing a mochomp

This guys are a bit of a pest, all the more while taming in the open waters. Use a strong melee weapon to slay it fast. A good enough sword can be obtained after completing the Hunt: Terror Birds pursuit.

If you need a megalodon I would recommend bringing 2 stacks of meat with you here are the steps: 1.craft the necessary trans 2.knock out the highest level 3.put in the meat 4.if it’s a really high level use narcotics to keep it asleep. Enjoy your new megalodon

So not sure what the issue is with megalodon by themselves not great but still with a decent saddle and melee I’ve taken out alphas with ease upgrade that to a pack of 4 or more and watch them work took on a 145 alpha mosa with 3 sharks and they melted it barely took any damage

If u need to avoid them then shoot a flare somewhere else away from u and they will follow the light
