They are THE best starting dino by a mile. They get you berrys, meat, thatch, fiver, chitin ect. Everything you would need when you start a new map. They are also adorable and get an amazing buff of killing bugs.
Megatherium
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megatherium in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Very very good at collecting Chitin, hit a few scorpions and turtles and mine some stone and you make plenty of paste in chem bench. Hope this helps
Chitin Farming Machine! 30 minutes in the Ragnorak desert and I am swimming in Chitin!
I was riding my mega therium and tested the bite attack it harvested bushes gave me berries and fiber no sickle needed
It’s difficult to trap it with dinosaur gateways, just trap it with large bear trap and walls
I have a lv 170 and he took on a lv 76 alpha carno and easily took him down
Good dino for gathering rare floweers in the swamp biom.
Does not get that much prime, especially not compared to the theriz. Great for thatch berries mushrooms and rare flowers melee is pretty good on high levels pretty good weight. Use different attacks for different items
Stands more than 3 walls high, yet can be carried by a Quetzal.
These creatures are great! The only thing is there slow. To tame them all you need is
4 stone foundations
16 stone doorways
And 4 ramps
Now you build a 2x2 then make it 2 stories tall with the doorways. Put the ramps on the side you want it to go on. Then shoot it with…

Now you build a 2x2 then make it 2 stories tall with the doorways. Put the ramps on the side you want it to go on. Then shoot it with your tranqs so it chases you. Run into the trap and exit through the doorways. Shoot it with tranqs and you can either starve it or feed it right away. I personally like starving it. Feed it superior kibble, bee honey, or prime meat work the best but if u don’t have any of those just use normal meat. And now u have yourself a great big friendly sloth
BEST CAVER FOR SCORCHED EARTH!!!
Can fit through all artifact caves with ease additionaly the caves are riddled with bugs so this sloth can just steamroll them with the insect killer buff. Or if ypu dont want to fight you can just walk past them 90% of the time.
1 foundation + 4 walls high is out of their hit box range. These angry dopes will just let you ping them in the face with tranqs until they get sleepy and try to run. Park your bird up there with you and give chase when you need to.
Great for harvesting chitin as well as other resources
So uh find this in dungeons for ark mobile, good luck

Ok now mobile players it is not wild in mobile like for some reason you need to go in dungeons to get them and plus you need ancient amber’s to get them and a lot ho I don’t now if it’s a lot of ancient amber’s because there hard to get I have god console and I have done all the ascendant stuff and master craft I don’t know what’s better if some one could answer if ascendt stuff is better or master craft is better anyway and all levels into hp and still a have 199 times litterly I’ve counted that all anyways I’m done
They get a buff when killing bugs which makes them op for the swamp cave and do grinding
They go nuts against bugs and even get a buff that increases their attack against bugs and reduces the bug’s attacks towards them, but they don’t tame with chitin???
An overall great tame. This is a must have creature for all of your cementing paste needs. The easiest way to tame them I found is just find a small rock that they can’t climb up and tranq it
The buff they from killing bugs makes them INSANLY O.P. they a HUGE Melee buff. They are super useful for beating the brood mother because of the extra damage to bugs and the buff they get from killing the spider minions also tanky.
