Easiest way to tame these guys is on a raft and a crossbow.

1. Hop into the water and be the bait

2. If you see one jump back onto raft

3. Shoot with crossbow with tranq

4. Wait for your new tame

You can unlock their saddle relatively early in the game.

1. Ride on Ichthyosaurus since nothing will agro on you in the water unless you feed a basilosaurus food and mantas see that.

2. Crossbow ONLY with tranqs or longneck rifle with darts to knock it out.

3. Have some bio toxin beforehand (10 is more than enough)

4. Feed raw or prime meat because fish meat is less effective.

5. You have got yourself a shark pet.

X-type 140 took me about 140 arrows with prim crossbow .

Relatively easy tame just make sure not to call the big bois THICC FEESH or they will get VERY AMGERY

I used 10 tranq arrows with a cross bow and 10 raw meat to tame for a level 10 not 20 raw meat

For the 100% chance of death for the pachy primary attack, it's talking about the pachy, not the meg

To the guy who said name it Bruce.why? It’s not a carno,it’s a deranged old lady who thinks she’s a tiger shark,name it possessed lady

The X type takes about 3x more arrows to knock it out from what i can tell this is the same for most x dinos.

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

While taming an x meg, use tranq spears instead of darts or arrows, seem to work better for me

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...

Building a trap is completely unnecessary for taming sharks as they are very slow. Just use a fast mount that allows you to shoot from the saddle - preferably a sarco or bary, but an ichthy will do just fine as well.

Shoot it until with tranqs til it gets close, then swim a little ways away to reposition, and rinse/repeat. I'd recommend going back-and-forth or in a circularish pattern so you minimize the number of other threats that will get involved.

When it's KO'd, other ocean critters will leave it alone. The only thing to worry about at that point is other animals attacking it when it finishes taming, so it's a good idea to come back just before it finishes and draw the aggro of any other sharks etc that spawned while you were waiting so they attack you instead of your new friend.

Fairly easy tame with slingshot on mobile. I found a female stuck on herb island, grabbed meat, knocked it out and started tame ing it. Trill in the process, but ye! Just get like 300 hungered rocks and like 3 slingshots and ur good! (Mobile btw)

They spawn a lot around the red obelisk and the ocean by the most western spawn area

Megalodon taming is so easy but transfer to bace is so hard because many megalodon in sea all kill your megalodon but you tame megalodon Level

Level 15 To - 100 or more this is so easy to transfer your megalodon

Go just far enough in the water that you can see some megalodons then shoot one and then go on shore and it should follow you and then tranq it out and tame it

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.

I tamed this with a ramshackle slingshot when I was level 15 like not hard to tame btw I was on herbivore island and I tamed 3 easy tame especially on mobile.

You can outrun them with flippers on, don’t bother with any other technique
