I’ve been using the megatheriums and I’d just like to say never use them for the dragon, I had a full team of megatheriums with 10k hp and around 520% melee and they got demolished I thought it would work because of how quick the broodmother went down but no the dragons ranged fire is to much so megatheriums are not good for ranged battles but if you do want to use a megatherium bring a flyer that can pick up a megatherium and drop it on a enemy in pvp

A bit of an obscure bit of knowledge here, but they are MUCH harder to knock out if in the presence of insects. I knocked out the same Megatherium twice, the first time I knocked it out I was hovering over it with my Rhyniognatha, and it took a long time and many tranq arrows.

I then knocked it out a second time while it was in a trap with no insects in sight, and it went out fairly quickly.

If you a trying to knock out a megatherium and it’s taking suspiciously long, make sure there are no insects in the area, be they wild or tamed

When knocking out, DO NOT TRANQ HIM OUTRIGHT, THEY ARE FAST AND HIT LIKE A TRUCK. Make a trap (4x4 stone with doorway walls),

Stand on the staircase(stairs can be thatch, wood, or anything) and shoot him to get his attention. Make sure you have the stairs facing his direction or you will be slapped off the stairs and b he will kill you.

As soon as you shoot him, walk into the trap then go thought the doorways. He will proceed to slap the floor because he is an idiot.

Pump tranqs into his forehead(took me about 28 tranq arrows) then put any kind of food into his inventory as he is an omnivore.

Just wait until he’s tamed then boom, mega bug eater monkey that can kick some major donkey.

I’m taking mine rn he’s lvl 50 and I put meat in his inv wish me luck

techno you’ll see this tomorrow because dododex but yeah

Would like a sloth good sir? The let’s get one

First you need tranq arrows or darts (whatever you prefer)

Next get a trap set I use metal signs to trap them but whatever you prefer

Next bring honey, raw mutton, berries (if your felling hardcore)

Wait a little while and boom 💥. Your very own sloth exterminator

Hope it helped👍

I just knocked out a level 6 megarithium with 21 tranqs and used a journeyman crossbow on scorched earth. You can net it or use a large bear trap. There best use is caving because the harvest boatloads of chitin and there pretty strong. I. Useing it for caving.

If someone, like the ARK Wiki, tells you that the Megatherium exists on Scorched Earth, you have unfortunately been lied to.

They are experts at simply not spawning. With that being said, on the off chance that one does spawn, trap it and tame it immediately before the opportunity is lost.

They are capable of killing Death Worms with bug buff at relatively early levels, making them perfect for grinding experience from Death Worms. They are also great at gathering massive amounts of Chitin from the residents of the Desert, and Chitin can be used to craft Cementing Paste, making it very useful.
