Good damage, dps, and health, but are targeted by everything in the ocean. I mean, seriously, other wild megs with follow your tamed Meg to the edge of the map just to kill it. Same with mantas and Cnidaria. Is awesome but targeted by to much.

Fight other megaladons to level quickly I took down an alpha with my 226 and got eight lvls from it

My Meg pack Shreds Alpha Moeder in 7 min on official. Those of you who Don't know how goon these guys are are messin up bad! Tether them to a turtle in a cage in ur underwater base and you will dookie in the eyes of soakers!

Great at mosa killing and underwater raids

Size 1.5 sabertooth salmon: drops 2 prime fish meat from scythe,

lv18 Megalodon: 0 prime fish meat with metal hatchet.

Dude...?

The top comment states that these should be at least 5x as big as they are which is incorrect as in ark they are 16 meters long and in real life they were around 19 meters long

Creature Report

Size:Medium

Description:The Megaladon is kinda strong knockout taming

I JUST SAw A MEG JUMp OUT oF THe WATER WHILE I was tameing a mochomp

Good for collecting black pearls

I was getting ready for the dragon boss and need squid tenticals so tamed a pack of three level five gave them ascendant saddles and killed two squids no one died

I'm literally grinding them no cap

These things honestly suck 😔 I have a high lvl one and it does jack-crap 😔 For one... everything agros on it??? Even other MEGLADONS!!! While Icthy’s can just run free 🤦‍♂️ The fact that the dolphin honestly is better than a fricking Megaladon is insane and unbelievable

The best glitches and flyers in the game

They have a pack bonus that stacks up to 8. Combine that with mate boosting and bleed and you can take out alpha mosasaurs with ease.

They are a good fighting early/mid-game mount

They have a decent amount of health and have a small turning circle, meaning that it is quite easy to kill mosas / alpha mosas

If you let a tuso grab you and if you dismount your meg you can easily kill the tuso with a good sword

They are great for farming angler gel but I would recommend using an ichty if you are on mobile because they won’t defend themselves

For anything that is not fighting, I think the ichty is still better: it can outrun any predators if you accidentally attack them. But if you live on herb island for example you might have noticed that there are some quite big fishy bois down there so you might want to use a meg to clear the area out

Hope this was useful ^^

~ Some bored Ark mobile player

I used this once and it immediately died from four other megs

Kill these i once got a fully repaired metal pike from killing one

Breed two good levels and they are Crazy!!

These suck.

Basically every marine creature has more health than them.

Most marine creatures have more DPS and AoE than them

Anglers have 100 more carry weight at level one and megs only have 1.06 times the dps as an angler.

They are susceptible to all the movement impairing affects in the ocean (ie. squid grab, bary stun, torpor etc.)

They are rather fast when tamed but still outswam by other swift fighting creatures like mantas and plesios.

They have no special utility like producing oil, weight or damage reductions, rider fortitude, etc.

They they can only harvest corpses and can’t damage stone structures.

They have the same stamina depletion as a basi but slower stamina regen.

They can have a TEK saddle by by the time you can get TEK you can take a mosa and put a TEK saddle on one of them.

In short megs aren’t worth it.

Strangely enough, megalodons aren’t that bad when you think about it. They can solo some aquatic dinos, you don’t dismount off of them if shocked(Your hit box needs to be in the shock zone, if I’m not mistaken) on mobile, they can quickly shred through the hp of a balisosaurus if you pump the points in to the dps trait, and they can pretty easily hunt anglers for gel.
