Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megatherium in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

If this giant sloth has a red glow on it or is near bugs. You have two choices run for your life or get ready to loose most your Dino’s.

I knocked out two (140 and 145) at the same time. One I starve tamed the other I fed at beginning. The one i fed at start finished twice as fast as the starve tame. DO NOT STARVE TAME. Values must be wrong for starve taming or something.

Gathers everything but sap and rock rock resources .. take it to purple bushes on scortched will gather tons of silk fiber along with the occasional mush rooms and rare flowers!!!!

I lost 2 sabers lvl 50+ and a lvl 60 iguanodon. Rip Fall,Midnight and Tigress

I found a 140 and was able to take it back to my base. My partner KOd it with bio darts while I held it with the quetz. I then put a stack of prime as well as Honey pots on it to see which it preferred and it chose the honey. It took 4 honey to tame on a 10x taming server.

They tame quicker on raw mutton. A lvl 25 gathered 140-180 chitin on 1 single scorp with the bug buff otherwise it's jus like a therizino but not as strong

While this creature is quite vulnerable and slow in general, in the presence of bugs it receives a buff and becomes a complete powerhouse and is an almost unstoppable harvester of chitin. It has decent weight and should be tamed with Megalania kibble or mutton. Level melee and…
