1. Get an ichthy with a saddle

2. Find a megalodon underwater

You can easily out swim them with Scuba gear, no water tames needed. You don’t need an dolphin or manta, just invest in scuba and watch the flippers go to work.

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.

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.
