Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megalodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megalodon.
Make it follow you to shore then run on to land then tranq it up, same works for all ocean easily agroed creatures
By the time you are able to get a meg saddle crossbows shouldn't be a problem.Get yourself some tranq arrows and find a meg which gets too close too the shore . Shoot it till it gets KOed and feed it raw fish(faster). Thats it. Keep it in a safe spot or it will get killed by jellyfish.
I hate them so Mitch ugh. Just lure them close to land and kill them lol.
1. Take an icthy
2. Go into the ocean and find a meg
3. Tranq it out in shallow water (you don’t have to in shallow water but if you tranq it in the deep, make sure it’s near the surface so you can breathe)
4. Boom you have your killing machine
Gat raft sail out till you find some kill all but one then jump in shoot till close then jump on raft wait for it to go a bit away the do same till it stops moving
I tamed two of these and I was building a water pen for them and a 150 manta came and killed both of them they were both 150 sharks at the time. PS. MANTA ARE OP 😝
If your looking for a quick way to get across the sea. This is not it, their slow and stamina runs out fast. Believe it or not their very vunerable and other megs will still attack. Their turning radius isn't great either. Your better off with a Sarco.
You CAN build a trap-boat, using giant trap doors, as the entry point.
Don't worry no matter how scary these things are they are actually very weak
Easy tame with a baryonyx since you can ride and shoot at the same time.
If you have an underwater taming pen with a Dino gate, you can trap them! Have a buddy aggro them near the surface, then move your raft over your buddy and the shark! He'll phase through the wall and become trapped in your boat. I recommend leaving him in the pen til the last minute before he tames, because once tamed you won't be able to phase him out as easily!
Just lure it to the shore and shot tranqs I'm shore you'll get it ;)
--TAME A MEGALADON AT LOW LEVEL--
If u want to kill it throw a spear at it then get on a rock up high and shoot it with a bow
If u want to tame it empty your inventory (except for fish meat and narcodics) and grab a slingshot and as many stones as u can comfortably carry. Agro it get on a rock and shoot the fire out of it. (Aim for the water above it as the rocks will fall when they hit the water) If it starts to wander off agro it again.
All I did was hover my quetz above shoot from the quets, then grapple down to feed,however there was some kind of barrier that prevented my grapplegoing lower than the surface, y ou can get around this my going as far down as possible, then back up and quickly hold to realease line lower, this will make you jump and go fartherdown
Once tamed it will only follow you if you're either in the water or driving the boat. If you are standing on the boat it will not follow. Also try to tame as high of a level megalodon you can because other megalodon will attack it.
Bad stamina aggressive sea creatures will stil attack you, i find itchy is a better tame and easier
Stand on a rock small for a meg can’t see and I used a crossbow to knock it out
If your taming one then hop on a itchy then get off it’ll start Chasing you bring it to land then start traqing feed spino kibble if it you have it otherwise just feed it prime meat I’m a mobile player that’s how I do it hope this helped :)
How I tamed this guy. Really easy tbh
1. Get Trang darts/arrows and get to a high place with a meg(s) in range
2. Shoot till K.O.Ed
3. Swim up a put meat in inventory
Wait till tamed and name your new sharky baby
Tip’s
Don’t use fish meat like I did, use normal or prime meat
Riding a Itchy helps keep megs calm while you ride it

I actually thought of this while running from a meg.
Step 1: tame a dolphin
Step 2: take it out to a not so dangerous area and level it up only on health
Step 3: kill everything around the meg you want to tame
Step 4: plop the dolphin near the meg
Step 5: wait until the meg starts attacking it
Step 6: build a trap around the feasting shark
Step 7: knock out and feed
Big brain time
