Tame these guys from the back of a baryonyx. One stun attack and a few tranq arrows and you're set.

Good for clearing out rivers full of piranhas or sabretooth salmons especially on The Center

Fun fact: Megalodons were just larger Great Whites, as Sharks never stop growing.

Sooo I tamed a sarco and named him Scar Scar. And then I accidentally set it to aggressive (finger slipped off the button while aggressive was selected). Then, you know, obviously he went on a killing spree on land, and then he went into the water and killed two manta. Then he decided to set his eyes on one of these, and well it didnt turn out good. Poor Scar Scar. Lost but never forgotten, you fought well little buddy.

What they're good for: I'd say they're good for defense mainly. You could also take them out hunting for fish food.

Where to find: ocean water

How to tame: get a crossbow and tranq arrows. Find a shark close to shore. Shoot shark and swim to shore, swim back out into water and shoot. Repeat this until shark is down. Feed meat and narcotics if necessary. *guaranteed to not get bitten this way*

I personally tame sharks, crypod them and go back to my base where I live right next to a small lake. I put 3-10 sharks in the lake and put them on wander and aggressive mode. If anyone or anything goes into the lake, they'll be dead in seconds. Also if I happen to be getting raided while online, I pick the raiders up with my bird and drop them into the shark infested lake. :)

Max their melee damage!

1. Wait till it is eating a turtle.

2. Tranq it and kill its friends.

3. Use the meat 🥩 from its friends to tame it.

Be careful if you have a tamed megalodon or two following your raft. Wild megas will agro your tamed ones and once one dies (tamed or wild) they start to swarm which means yours are as good as dead.

You want to go in water to find icthy

You see tail sticking out of water

You go in water

You swim to "icthy"

You realize icthy is a shark

You die :>

These terrors of the ocean may seem a very strong and a late-game tame, but my first megalodon was tamed when I was less than level 20, all I did was go into the water and lure it to a place shallow enough then knocked it with a club, took very long to knock out but it was worth that time.

I agree with the guy saying it was too small.

111 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Dec 31, 2016   Report

I tamed mine by making it come to the shallows and getting it stuck by swimming in circles and using a club, you can get it early by doing this. I used a new club and when I was done it was at quarter health.

*sees a megalodon*

My arrows: “Alpha 7, goin dark”

Megalodon prefer raw meat than raw fish meat, so don't try to kill water dinos to tame your megalodon. In low level, they have low weight, but if you increase its weight, it will be perfect. Megalodon always spawn near red obelisk, so go to the ocean and you will find a lot of megalodon. Remember: If you don't tranquilizater darts, use a crossbow and shoot tranq!

To tame you have to use a crossbow because a long neck rifle can't shoot underwater.

Like do that other people can see it.
