Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a megalodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalodon.
Cheap stone trap with small water dinos or yourself
4 foundation
3 walls high each side, it will not pass thru
1 giant hatch frame and gate on top
Thats all
Bow take your dino, lure it from top and you get out from the side without walls. Shark is slow and clumsy so you have time to return on too to close gate
Voila
Also work for dunky
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
Net gun it then tranq arrow repeat, then bam it's out. Took me 2 nets while floating over the water on a bloodstalker shooting it with a longneck
Herbivore island usually has megaladons in the bay
Your gonna need a bigger boat AHHHHH
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.
Multi-meg taming trick. Their turn radius is horrible. Stay to their inside and keep using crossbow to sink tranq arrows into them. IF you get outside the turn radius then they will shred you apart
1.get it to agro you and swim as far in land as possible while hitting it with tranqs from a cross bow
2. Now that your far inland when it tries to run you follow it before it can go into nothingness
3.keep hitting it with tranqs after it tries to run and knock it out
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
The megalodon is one of the easiest tames in ARK.
Simply use a crossbow with tranq arrows, and swim at it while strafing left or right. The megalodon, like most large underwater creatures, has a horrible turn radius, which is very easy to get inside of. Just tranq it till it runs, than tranq it till it stops. If your having trouble with this tactic, boost your speed or wear scuba flippers.
Can be horse kicked by equus if lured to the shore.
Saves harpoons and tranqs.
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!
1. Make a boat and find a high level one near the shore
2. Tranq it on the boat and feed it regular meat and you don’t need narqs.
Unconsious Megalodon Dont agro other Megalodon. Remember , you DONT need to trank them in the head.
How to tame a megalodon
1:get tranq arrows,about 10(for a short level Meg like a 7) then get some cooked prime meat and some narc paste
2:find a low or high level meg(what ever you prefer)that’s fight a carbom or something(that’s so it doesn’t attack you)
3: shoot the Meg
4: once it starts to run away kill the thing it’s attacking and shoot it a couple more times till it’s unconscious
5: give it the prime meat because it takes a small amount of time to tame it then
6: watch out for predators like rays or stuff
7: AND BOOM!💥 you got yourself a Megalodon
Uparoo if this was helpful👍
I have found that it is easy and safer if you use a pelagornis to lure the megalodon into a trap. Doing it this way if something really bad come you can just fly off of the water instead of trying to get to shore.
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
I'm sorry to say this but, they are terrible! They aggroe other creatures easily (even their own kind and same with the manta rays), and the others can be pretty far and still be aggroed (once I aggroed another megalodon abot fifty feet away!) Do not recommend unless you need meat, like fish meat or prime fish meat. Hopes this helps. ~Sharkboy Out!
These are easy to tame I tamed 3 in one day
I want it as a pet in the game
