Try to find a megladon by the shore and tranq it out it shallow water or on shore so it can't attack you.

1. Get an ichthy with a saddle
2. Find a megalodon underwater
3. Kite the megalodon to shallow water with your ichthy
4. Tranquilize it from the shore or a rock safely
5. Make sure you don't keep shooting it after it is KO (I learned this the hard way)
6. Name it Bruce

megalodons CAN'T get into dino gates！u can't build a boat with underwater taming pen to trap them.just lure one to shallow water and tranq it.

They are friendly. I'm sure he just wants a hug.

You're gonna need a bigger boat. This bad boy will eat you, your wife, and your children.

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.

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.

Just aggro the megalodon and stand on the shore when you tranq it.

Was able to trap it in a boat very easy tame that way. Named the boat Orca did not get destroyed...doing better then Flynn...

Spinos or sarcos don't get prime fish meat anymore off megladons. Not sure if it's a change from one of the last updates.

To everyone saying you can't catch it with a fish trapper boat, you couldn't be more wrong, you just have to do a underwater version of quetz trappers

Make yourself a longbow with plenty of tranqarrows, then build a big enough cage going from shore into the water with trapdoor and ladder close to the Dino gate, build a small platform to shoot from. Get it to chase you and wait for it to come thru the gate, then close the gates to trap it and fire on it till it K.O

Be cautious while taming. Your megalodon WILL attract other megalodons once tamed, just like ichys. Make a saddle while taming so you can head to base ASAP, or exterminate any nearby wild megalodons. If you kill other nearby sharks, you'll get some prime fish meat to help speed the taming process!

Unconsious Megalodon Dont agro other Megalodon. Remember , you DONT need to trank them in the head.

Easiest is to be on a raft and shoot it with tranq darts or arrows, makes a great water mount, used a level 18 and a 21 to kill a level 10 alpha raptor when we lured it into water

1. Reinforce your raft with stone foundations, they won't be able to break them.
2. Make them attack your raft and shoot at them with tranq arrows (Bow and crossbow can both be used but a crossbow will be quicker) when they swim away because they are almost unconscious make sure you hit all the arrows you shoot so they won't escape.
3. Tame them with the food of your choice (high level Megalodons will need some narcotics or bio toxin, you won't need it immediately but be prepared).
4. Have fun with your Megalodon!

South Haven is a great spot to look for these to tame, especially in the bay in the middle of the island, all you have to do to tame one there is kill all the fish in there besides the megalodon you want (I suggest using a baronyx to kill the other fish with its stun ability) and then tranquilizer the one you want with a crossbow.

To tame make sure you bring guards with you, when there's one, there is usually others

Herbivore island usually has megaladons in the bay

You can fit these in a underwater taming raft if you use a large hatch frame
