I just used a frog and swam around it with a crossbow and tranq arrows
How to tame a Megalodon in 5 easy steps.
First, get a crossbow, tranq arrows, a good level Ichthyosaurus, your preferred food, and some narcotics.
Next, locate a Megalodon and kill all other dangerous creatures in the area including other Megalodons.
Then, circle around it while shooting it with arrows until it falls unconscious and when it does feed it.
Give it narcotics when necessary and now you have tamed a Megalodon.
Should yo tame these?
No
Tame itchy instead helps in exploring and can easily escape other megs
Tame anything else this unless youre taming like 9 of theses since it has a "Pack" bonus then the dmg is insane
Should you tame 9 of these?
No waste of time and resources
unless you have strong weapons,or there are creatures near by or you have good speedy creatures or stats give up they bite like a semi truck the are fast and if you see one there’s probably more near by so your best bet if the things I said near the start aren’t happening or you don’t have the good gear then your best bet is to get to shore as fast as possible but for the new Aquatica map thats COMEING out idk there is. No hope but if on any other map run to shore on get on your tame and run with your life if the things I said I said at the start aren’t true u can run while fight and donggeing it or you can try to have it be distracted by other creatures or you can slowly tranque it whilst running away respective to the same order as the beginning so ya thats what you can do
When I first played ark, I was terrified, but I was also interested in them. I’ve always wanted to tame a megalodon and eventually I did manage to tame a megalodon and here’s how first what you’re gonna do is get a crossbow get about I would say 10 to 30 Tranq arrows or maybe more you never know to knock it. Unconscious don’t use a bow and arrow you can’t use that underwater. Your best bet is a crossbow. Get on a high-level creature that you have tamed I used my. Sarco when the megalodon was attacking my. Sarco I continuously shot it with Tranq arrows this is a method I use a lot. Yes it is a very messy method sometimes, but it has worked. It does not work for giganotosaurus’s. Or carcharodontosaurus Titanosaurus and the rhyniognatha
You can also use this taming method with other high-level creatures. You have tamed, but be very careful it might work on mosasaurus‘s this taming method but it has to be a low level
I think if you dont yet have any sea tames, sharks are a good start, and your best bet for getting one is a baryonx or iguanodon. Bary is an obvious choice, but it isn't so easy to find a good one, so on a budget, a high level iguanodon is very underrated and will easily do the job. It is not so fast at sea so upgrade some move speed (you should anyway), but it is a decent fighter, typically with good enough weight and stamina (upgrade health and melee).
OR… a sarco, spino, a thylo, an anky, whatever you have that can swim really, would take out other lower level sharks easily, and then you can tame it with a dolphin.
Step1- get a level max or above baryonyx
Step2- tranq it or club it
Step3- narcotic and spino kibble acquire (if not then prime meat cuz raw meat will take long)
Step4- enjoy !
Bad stamina aggressive sea creatures will stil attack you, i find itchy is a better tame and easier
Required: domesticated and saddled ichthyosaur; bow or crossbow (no gun); toxic arrows or tranquilizer arrows.
get on the ichthyosaur and provoke a megalodon, then move away by pointing the ichthyosaur’s snout in the opposite direction; at this point pull the arrows to the megalodon while he follows you, when he gets too close you move the ichthyosaur at a right distance.
Make sure you’re in an area without too many megalodonts beyond what you want to tame.
I was taming one of these bad boys in the herbie island pool and when i finally got it to torpor run it beached itself but still lived if you know what i mean. Ark logic? Anyways it stopped moving and i figured it was just stuck. make sure to check your taming tracker. Thats why i had a lvl 67 shark instead of 89.(i was new to the game ok?) This was in ASE not ASA.
They are annoying and a mid tame. There are better options. None the less it isn't the worst option. They best in groups. I do suggest taming at least one and determine if you personally like it. Use a harpoon tranq, with something that can destract and tank the Meg.
How to tame a meg:
One have a baryonyx or sarco to swim down there
Two have a cross bow and get close to it with tranqs make sure to have meat
Three wait for your rex of the sea to tame
Four bring it back to your base
Five craft a saddle
Six ride your rex of the sea into battle
Seven feed it fish meat when tamed
Eight build a wall/little pen around it
Nine if you don't build a pen keep a eye on your meg!
To people who think meg should be bigger and stronger
First of all megalodon is actually early game Dino you get the saddle at lv40 between lv50 I think anyways second of all megalodon is not 5x bigger because it would crash servers (delete progress) and mega lag plus they would spawn and instakill you/raft thanks for reading!
Once ya see this "thing" in the water just know your up for a meal
What you want to do is lead a Alpha Megalodon into a shore where it isn’t dumb enough to go on land and mount your Velonasaur you named Velona, and shoot spikes at it
*Velonasaurus has a new level-up available, access inventory to apply it*
You: Ok let’s see, and HOLY KING TITAN
*Velona literally has 400 levels available and she’s only LvL 50*
