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

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

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

These are quite hard tames until you realise their turn speed is horrible, then it’s so easy. Keep straining side ways and they can’t bite you. Tamed 2 at the same time solo

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

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

When your finished taming it on ark mobile and you Meg gets 30 level ups 3 level ups for heath and then ready is for stamina because they have TRASH stamina I mean TRASH

Make sure there no other nearby megalodon because they aggro to your megalodon which is all ready low lost 3 megalodon because of this so ether kill the rest of them or tame them too -rungunsss

I fist fought 3 megas, now I have 3 megas. They are just chilling in the water near my base

First off, get a whole bunch of these. You get your mantas or itchy(if you're on mobile), swim into an army of beasts, attract all of them into shallow water, and use your spyglass to see which ones you want. Then kill the ones you don't want with a good Dino or weapon(I used dire bear). After that block them off from the sea so that they can't run away and yeet them with tranques. They are unconscious for a super long time so don't worry about constantly hovering over the,.you don't need a pen or anything just make sure nothing interferes. Then you got yourself like 10 Megalodons.

Good for collecting black pearls

How to tame: First, find your meg. Once you find one, lead it close to shore and start shooting it with tranquilizer arrows by dragging them on a crossbow. Once it becomes unconscious, feed it raw fish meat. Use prime fish meat to tame faster or a soothing balm. If you can’t get either one, feed it narcotics to keep it unconscious while it tames. Enjoy your new meg!

I was getting ready for the dragon boss and need squid tenticals so tamed a pack of three level five gave them ascendant saddles and killed two squids no one died

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.

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'm literally grinding them no cap

These things honestly suck 😔 I have a high lvl one and it does jack-crap 😔 For one... everything agros on it??? Even other MEGLADONS!!! While Icthy’s can just run free 🤦‍♂️ The fact that the dolphin honestly is better than a fricking Megaladon is insane and unbelievable

It has trouble hitting fast moving things like boats or a pelingoris, make sure it can’t hit you

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.

It is easy to kill if you have sword and hit it a couple times.
