How do I kill a megalodon? megalodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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
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
Killing these guys are good for leveling up if you want to level your kaprosuchus, sarcosuchus, or baryonyx. That's what I do. My sarcos hit for about 300 damage each and they can take on a squads of megalodon with ease.
You think megaloeons are anoying try x-megalodons on genises they do like twice as much damage and take about 60% reduced damage
Well, I was trying to tame parasaur without Bola (I was new) the parasaur runs into the ocean my dilopharsaurus runs after it and this thing kills my dilo
Anyone know how to kill one of these things, I say this because you kill one and all of them show up. And they’re too stupid to stay within range of my crossbow!
Whenever you encounter a Alfa mega lead it to land whenever I do that they just die by themselves (it’s like they can’t stand how good looking I am) then punch/pickaxe/axe there dead bodies and take their loot.
*Sticks one toe in water... ANYWHERE...*
Two hundred Megalodons show up, p!$$ed off, and ready for war.😳😳😳

*Initiates "Gonna Need a Bigger Raft" mission*
Four hours later, and I'm still looking for my 12th (of 20) Meg...🤦♂️😒😡🤷♂️
I was out on my Beelzebufo getting chitin when a meg bit me I was over weight and just to say Rest In Peace froggy
To defeat the megalodon in the easy way, all you need is a sarco, that’s all
Bring a crossbow along with some stone arrows, find a megalodon, and its pretty much ded. Just make sure you can outrun it.
Ok so if you swim above them thay can’t do nothing to you but be carful if you get seizures easy
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
When trying to get a ton of prime fish have about six baryonx attacking a megalodon and your set
I found two Megs stranded in shore an they did not try to eat me and kill me they were nice for once
