Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megalodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalodon.
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!
Use scuba flippers a decent damage crossbow and you'll have the Meg knocked out in no time because you can swim faster then a wild Meg with flippers your welcome no pen needed no other animal needed just you and arrows just don't don't swim backwards to long......it'll catch you
Unconsious Megalodon Dont agro other Megalodon. Remember , you DONT need to trank them in the head.
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!
How to tame a megalodon!
First get your itcyosaurus as you can get closer to the Meg with conflict.
Second lure it nearer the shore where it safer.
Third wait until it’s distracted by attacking something that comes in its way (carbocermerys).
Fainally shoot it with tranq arrows to get it unconscious and tame it.
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
So i log in the game and there is a glitch the Megalodon is out of water and is unconscious and I had some meat and I tamed it I had to kill some of my Dino’s tho
to those who have thalassophobia and wants to go in ocean on ark, try to practice yourself diving with an itchy below surface and roam so your anxiety will lessen until its gone completly.
after that try to tame megalodon using itchy or bary (use bary if you're not still fine with your phobia) because bigger aquatic mount empowers your mind for you to be not scared.
if you're done taming your first megalodon, congratulations cuz you just wasted your time and scared yourself in ocean hehehe
On the island map to tame, go to herbivore island ( bottom right of map) and wait as they show up in the lake bit. As u shoot then they will go one side to the other, so take a bird and switch sides each time and you will have a megalodon
They seem intimidating, but they're surprisingly an easy tame. Personally what always worked best for me was attracting them to shore, placing a bunch of dead dodos on the shoreline. The shark would get stuck in the ground, then I would use a long rifle with tranq darts and shoot it in the head.
These are quite hard tames until you realise their turn speed is horrible, then it’s so easy. Keep straining side ways and they can’t bite you. Tamed 2 at the same time solo
When your finished taming it on ark mobile and you Meg gets 30 level ups 3 level ups for heath and then ready is for stamina because they have TRASH stamina I mean TRASH
First off, get a whole bunch of these. You get your mantas or itchy(if you're on mobile), swim into an army of beasts, attract all of them into shallow water, and use your spyglass to see which ones you want. Then kill the ones you don't want with a good Dino or weapon(I used dire bear). After that block them off from the sea so that they can't run away and yeet them with tranques. They are unconscious for a super long time so don't worry about constantly hovering over the,.you don't need a pen or anything just make sure nothing interferes. Then you got yourself like 10 Megalodons.
Get a raft and shoot it to be passed out.
It is easy to kill if you have sword and hit it a couple times.
Try this!step 1,get a raft.step 2,get a crossbow,bow, longbow with tranq arrows, …etc.step three shoot a bronto near the water. Step 4. Lead the bronto into the water with megalodons.step 5 watch the megs try to kill the bronto.step 6 lead the bronto back to land when it has low health if you can.7 watch and tame the meglodons that get stuck on land. Hope this work haven’t tryed it yet. Just a theory!
