The Megalodon isn't very good compared to creatures like the Dunkleosteus, it isn't as fast as an icthyosaur neither, don't bother taming if you have an icthyosaur to get away from large dinos.
Megalodon
How ARK players tame and knock out the Megalodon: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
Literally beyond easy to tame, crossbow, swim in circles, aim for the head, knocked out a lvl 15 and it didn't even hit me, it is wise to do it near the surface since it will prob be an early tame so you don't have to go deep to top up torpor, if at all
Used really well to collect angler gel and to kill basilosaurus for oil
Make a Shark Cage out of wood or better and tranq it with crossbow. You can learn how to make this cage at the Gaming Kiwi YouTube Channel.
Most fun way to do it is get a two long guns with tranq arrows and go shark hunting with a friend (or by yourself). Haveing a harppon tranq gun also helps with agroing and if it goes deeper underwater
Why a icthy why not sarco or Barry sarco are very fast underwater and Barry can easily defend the shark why doing its stun attack icthy weak not as fast as sarco and finally can’t go out of water like sarco and Barry can 😎 GO BARRYS AND SARCOS!
I killed a level 13 with a slingshot and it had about 700 health and took about 75 rocks. ( some were missies) I takes about an hour or so. Good luck
Hit it in the head with bow 15 times level1 to level19
How to tame a Megalodon in ARK
When your taking the megalodon once you have knocked it out don’t shoot it again to make it sleep longer use narcotics because then the taming effectiveness will go down and you will get a lower level megalodon
The best way to tame a meg is tame a dodo and find a meg and throw your dodo into the water and wait for the meg to come to your dodo and when the meg is at the surface and hit it with a club and that is how I got my meg her name is brucette
When tamin they take any meat so use prime
I might be a savage, because right now I’m using fish meat and prime fish meat to tame a lvl 85 and lvl 125. Am I right or am I right?
I’m gonna be honest here I tamed a meg by leading it to shallow waters and knowing it out with my mastercraft bow and gave it some prime boom ez tame
Just find a high level one, kill all the others and get prime fish meat, and knock it out and tame it. (Super low torpor)
to the people who says they are bad they are not they are op, my level 3 megladon saved me from a level 90 mosasaur they are worth taming
This may sound weird but it works. Tame a scorpion and level up damage and then continue to sting the Meg. This actually works I have tried it lol!
Two major ways to tame.
1. Build a trap. They can only fit through behemoth dino gateways. They cannot fit through normal doorways. Lead it (via flippers or an Ichthy) through the behemoth and then exit via the smaller normal doorways. Close the gate and knock it out. Megs…

2. Get flippers or an Ichthy and find a good shark. Shoot at it. When it (and all nearby sharks) gets close swim away. Repeat until it's unconscious. Put your food on it and then kite the other nearby megs out of render distance. They won't attack it while unconscious but they will as soon as it's tamed.
More simple and fast way bring it to shore traq it put x10 and prime meat and boom that’s it
You want to try to get it alone out of experience there really anoying in a group
