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.

Every time I encounter one I shot it with tray arrows and it dies why?

A very useful early ocean going mount. Be sure to set it to passive so it doesn't swim off to where you can never find it again. Also level up on your oxygen so you won't have to make it surface so you can breathe all the time. Quite possibly a good ocean beasty tamer. Mine swam off killing things and I never saw it again. Emphasis on setting it to passive.

Hey fun facts about sharks (goblin sharks) they love to live in dark environments so they can hide in darkness waiting for prey. Next, when a goblin shark is too far away from its prey its mouth stretches out and catches it like a Venus flytrap. Please upp vot3 I wrote this for u guys ! 😭😭😭

These guys suck when they're alone, but as soon as you got a pack of 4 or more they can shred almost anything. When I explore the ocean, I ride my tuso, but since the hitbox is a bit wonky I always bring along my pack of trusty sharks. Together we easily demolished an alpha megalodon and a swarm of plesiosaurs.

These are good melee tames for when there saddle is unlocked, but they can easily die to jelly fish and other deep sea creatures like mosasourus, and tuso’s.

A level one alpha meg gives about 3k xp, wait for the TLC pack bonus to drop and tame a few high levels and start alpha hunting!

All ways have in packs do to bleed and damage buff

Remember that sharks take forever to regen stamina

This should be stronger than a mosa. They were in real life. One would be able to replicate a megalodon bite by taking a school bus, then covering the bottom with railroad spikes, then put two more school buses on top of it, and then dropped on something. It was larger than a mosa, faster than a mosa, and try to imagine anything surviving what I just described.

Megalodons make great starter water mounts. They do good damage and have a fair amount of health. Later in the game where you can breed high level sharks and have packs of them, they make for one of the best water tames in groups!

Pretty slow and not very good with weight, but a pack of these guys will butcher just about anything

Just tame a high level one of these and it will destroy anything. I only fight the low level alpha mosas's tho....

People saying these suck don’t understand what these actually were in real life they were only a tiny bit bigger then the great white not some massive T rex of the sea….. that’s fictional and only in movies.. ark did good with them. Also sharks are suppose to be every were could you imagine how dmb that would be if they were OP.. just tame two high levels bread and make a strong pack and they will kill anything… I got one with 40k health and 1,000 melee… learn the game don’t complain

These guys are free meat in mobile heres a tip

Step 1 - tame ichthyosaurs

Step 2 - get its saddle (lvl 11 maybe)

Step 3 - enjoy your fish

Tame 2 high levels, breed about 8 megs and imprint at least 4. Make sure they all have saddles and go shred both underwater caves!

These things are so bad. I tamed two and they both died almost instantly to piranhas and mantas. Luckily, these things are so easy to tame, just 2 shots with a crossbow and they are out like a light.

To people who think meg should be bigger and stronger

First of all megalodon is actually early game Dino you get the saddle at lv40 between lv50 I think anyways second of all megalodon is not 5x bigger because it would crash servers (delete progress) and mega lag plus they would spawn and instakill you/raft thanks for reading!

If you follow the taming quest and build a saddle for a metal Odín, pump it’s points(worth 8k exp) into dps, energy, and hp. I nicknamed mine submarine, and he absolutely shreds through hp(about 130 a hit), which is devastating for main ocean threats and those who stray too close to the hunting ground.

For the person who said "it should be 5x their size is incorrect" well then why is the mosa so large? Megalodon has the strongest bite force in the world. And also its the same size as a mosa
