Stay on your raft! As long as you don’t put even a single toe in the water, they won’t even know you’re there. Learned this after having a panic attack of a Meg being right underneath my raft. Same thing with any dinos you have on your raft.

Warning: When tamed wild ones CAN and WILL target your tamed ones. BUILD A PEN!!!

There are a ton spawning up by the hidden lagoon!

Here’s how to tame a Megalodon:

1-Tame an Icthyosaurus with 20-25 meat, then make it a saddle.

2-Bring 15-20 narcotics, 20 tranq arrows, crossbow/bow, 30-40 meat and go to an area where Megalodons are located(Usually in Herbivore Island).

3-Icthyosaurus have a special ability where creatures won’t get agro to you, unless you bite them with the icthyosaurus, so bite the Megalodon you found with your icthyosaurus, and lead it to shallow water or a nearby shore.

4-Once you are done leading it to shallow water or a shore, start firing tranq arrows at the Megalodon.(You can dismount your icthyosaurus, or fire while you are sitting on the back of your icthyosaurus).

5-When it’s knocked out, put the meat in it’s inventory, and use the narcotics when it’s torpor is getting low and wait until it’s tamed.

And now you have a Megalodon :D

Name suggestions: Poseidon(God of the Seas)— Bruce— Noah— Ocean Jaws— Jaws— Underwater T-Rex.

I hope this helped, thanks for reading this :D

Good luck!

Since the latest patch made so these guys do bleed damage they can really be a pain in the ass, my Barry almost died to 3 megs yesterday, and before the patch it would murder all the megalodons

I found a level five meg when I was sarco hunting I used a club and this worked great luckily my water Dino didn’t die in the proses.

I spawned at a beach and the water was filled with a whole ton of Megalodons there was also spino nearby and killed everything I had so I let it into their territory the spino cleaned them out but then it died.

The top comment states that these should be at least 5x as big as they are which is incorrect as in ark they are 16 meters long and in real life they were around 19 meters long

Swimming up or down while making your way back to shore is the best way to avoid their attacks. They can be deadly in packs now as they have bleed and an OP pack buff, so bring your own sea mounts to fight em.

Use scuba flippers a decent damage crossbow and you'll have the Meg knocked out in no time because you can swim faster then a wild Meg with flippers your welcome no pen needed no other animal needed just you and arrows just don't don't swim backwards to long......it'll catch you

You don’t look right now they look different.

If you tame an ichtyosaurus before, you can beat a Megalodon when you’re riding the ichtyo, he will not attack you back (even if he do you can escape easily)

So i log in the game and there is a glitch the Megalodon is out of water and is unconscious and I had some meat and I tamed it I had to kill some of my Dino’s tho

Creature Report

Size:Medium

Description:The Megaladon is kinda strong knockout taming

to those who have thalassophobia and wants to go in ocean on ark, try to practice yourself diving with an itchy below surface and roam so your anxiety will lessen until its gone completly.

after that try to tame megalodon using itchy or bary (use bary if you're not still fine with your phobia) because bigger aquatic mount empowers your mind for you to be not scared.

if you're done taming your first megalodon, congratulations cuz you just wasted your time and scared yourself in ocean hehehe

I JUST SAw A MEG JUMp OUT oF THe WATER WHILE I was tameing a mochomp

They seem intimidating, but they're surprisingly an easy tame. Personally what always worked best for me was attracting them to shore, placing a bunch of dead dodos on the shoreline. The shark would get stuck in the ground, then I would use a long rifle with tranq darts and shoot it in the head.

I killed one of these guys with a level 6 itchy. The hit box is just sad.

This guys are a bit of a pest, all the more while taming in the open waters. Use a strong melee weapon to slay it fast. A good enough sword can be obtained after completing the Hunt: Terror Birds pursuit.

If you need a megalodon I would recommend bringing 2 stacks of meat with you here are the steps: 1.craft the necessary trans 2.knock out the highest level 3.put in the meat 4.if it’s a really high level use narcotics to keep it asleep. Enjoy your new megalodon
