How do I kill a megalodon? megalodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If u need to avoid them then shoot a flare somewhere else away from u and they will follow the light
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.
If you are free swimming and you see one run away as fast as possible if you do not see it before it sees you your dead
I killed one of these guys with a level 6 itchy. The hit box is just sad.
A pack of megs can easily take on a spino or Rex insanely fast
DO NOT PUT YOUR TAMES IN THE WATER THEY WILL GET EATEN ALIVE
If it says the water is very dangerous get the hell out of there the mfs lvl 2 and lvl 5 killed my level 19 Carbo plus they are hella Tanky hope this helped up of yes.
When I went to the red obelisk it was by mistake and I didn’t even realise the Megalodon army I just went through the water on my raft and went to see what it was. While I was doing that I had a mission to go the whole way around the island and I left the raft which reset it and I was 4/5 of the way there.
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 tame them they are so useful but in the wild they are annoying because whenever you want to cross a deep river they murder you
It has trouble hitting fast moving things like boats or a pelingoris, make sure it can’t hit you
To be honest these are easy to kill on the shore atleast on mobile, just get a bow and arrows, I got a bunch of fish meat and some prime and even some teeth and clothes?! I got clothes from a shark
An easy way to kill megalodons would be to lure them onto land. They will get “locked” or full-on beached, making them easy to attack (I recommend projectile weapons when fighting a locked megalodon). They sometimes swim after taking too much damage, but it is relatively easy to lure them back.

Does anyone know why they do t Agro on me? Are they supposed to do that or are s it a glitch?
They are very annoying,they attack everything except the icthy in mobile, like they even eat your tamed meg.Do they understand what is food and what is something ya should swim away from?🙄
Go to Red obelisk you'll thank me later
Honestly this is a very wimpy animal in ark. I killed it in one shot with a regular shotgun. Definetly one of the easier to kill and tame animals
An easy way to kill one is to use a turtle to take agree and then stab it with spears. Or you can shoot it with almost any weapon. Or you can whack it with a weapon if you have armor. It is on the easier side of animals on ark.
I hate these I was on my way home on my boat a for some reason I fainted and fell in the water and was killed by a Meg and my two new RAPTORS attacked it and died too they also killed my icthyosaurs
If you make a run in with this creature run till you have no stamina
A good way to find them on the island is to go to herbivore island and you’ll find some usually
So a few minutes ago I was just swimming in the water when I saw a megalodon attacking something above the water I came closer it was not attacking me came even closer it was still not attacking me I came less than a inch away from it and something dropped beneath the water….dead I looked at it it said pelagornis (dead) I looked at it more and soon realized the megalodon was swimming my way I tried to swim away but soon realized there was no hope and accepted my fate… I was killed .so when you see something in the water that looks like a oversized shark…RUN!!!
