They look scary but they are actually really weak unless you tame it

Got nerfed so hard when they moved it from real life to ark

Does anybody randomly get attacked by these while riding a ichty.

If you ever start ark don’t go near them if you have no gear(armour) because can and will shred your hp I know this because it happened to me many times.

Megas, Alpha and standard, are beaten easily by Sarcos and Barys.

Sarcos have high movement speed and can outmaneuver Alphas alongside being able to run to shore when injured, meanwhile Barys can pull a “jellyfish” and stunlock the Mega to death.

These things are brutal. They made it so I couldn't get air and then ate me. Then to add insult to injury they circled my dead body so I couldn't collect my gear. If this happens, I recommend using a second team mate to lure them away.

Just kill it with a sarco or a baronyx,then harvest all the meat with a sickle

Can be stunlocked by baryonx and quickly dispatched

If you have base in stonehendge there is chance that you find alfa megalodon in the water so whatch out

needs a TLC

For one, should be close to 75-100 feet long.

Have the damage a little less than the mosa, and realistically should be able to swim faster and jump out of the water and bite. Right now its about the size of 4 humans laying down. 6 feet. Which means 24 feet total, a little bigger than the average Great White today. Its obviously much much bigger and should be around 75-100 feet long. Should do atleast 125 damage on level one. And that might sound like a lot but im being realistic. And realistically, it would do closer to 500 damage irl. It could easily tear apart a Full grown elephant today. Its bite force its strong enough to bite through metal, yet it cant one shot a human. I know the devs are just trying to make things more interesting, but cmon man its obviously stupid to get close enough to get bit by one. They should be able to swim about the speed of a icthy, be close to 100 feet long. Approximately 15 humans fully short in ark long. Should be able jump out of the water and bite. Should swim alot faster. Level 1 should have close to 2000 hp, should do around 125-150 hp on level 1. These are my opinions based on scientific investagations and research. I hope the devs fix this. Sorry for misspelled words or bad grammar in general.

Have a good day to the person reading this.

First comment is FAKE. Megalodon is actually the one-in-not-so-many creatures in ARK that is over sized. Turn to tpp and you would find this beast is actually huge. It’s just that other creatures are just way too big. In the world we are in, Megalodon should be the biggest predator in the sea. Although creatures in ARK is pretty much made up, but as reference to the real world it is sad that megalodon is still poor in design even after the buff(made it a piranha basically）

i have i tip to get there tooth first you need to do the task name tame a ithcy then they will give you free saddle for them in now get close to the meg in hit him until he die ithcys like a raptor in the sea

My level 4 bronto got killed by these guys,really annoying when lots attack at once

Don’t bother them and they won’t bother you. It’s that easy

And if one attacks just swim away as fast as you can

Tame Ann icthy or sarco before going after one of these

One time I tamed 1 icthyosaurus and named it water (my real name)

And I leveled him to lvl 10 we were so close until 2 lvl 23 Megs killed him in cold blood

Umm your screwed y are u even in the middle of the water🤔🤔🤔

If you want to kill it make it go on sore then kill it

So I just spawn in and I spawn on a beach. I get started, get a pick, and as I’m killing a dodo, three megs spawn on the beach, and die immediately. Me Never had I cared less about being hungry.

This is why i do not go into the sea i fly over water w a pteradon so it does not kill me

Sacros won't attack you riding on and vice versa
