ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
For mobile players you can kill it in the dungeons I forgot which one but you will find out. Then grab it’s respawn artifact thing then get a respawn pad respawn it and build stone walls around so it does not get out and escape then tranq it out the easy way is to feed berries hard way is honey. Blow this up so peeps can see it
There's a reason it's ranked 7th best melee in the game, run.
They can go aggro out of no where in extinction (city) they usually have a red aroaura coming out of them ⬆️ To protect noobs from giant sloths
When I first saw megatherium I assumed it was a Herbivore since it’s just a giant sloth. And tamed it exclusively with berries. Which took forever. It was only after I used it and noticed it was eating meat I realised it was an omnivore. Don’t make the same mistake i did. Taming it Exclusively with berries is a pain
If he eats a ant he will go super sayan god and kill everyone so be careful because they can be more deadly than the dragon boss
If you or anything you have with you is carrying chitin they will attack you
In mobile, these only spawn in dungeons. Some dungeons. Also to tame you will need a revival platform and a good amount of ancient amber.
For ark mobile users the mega is only in dungeons :/
Ah yes, the good ol bug eater. But can it eat bugs as much as we expect? Today I will test that out to fight the gamma, beta and alpha broodmothers! By the way the megatheriums aren’t mutated and are level 430-470
Gamma: Set them to aggresive for bug buff. Oh boy, soon they started SHREDDING the big spider. It died in about 1 minute and 30 seconds,
Beta: At about half hp she killed just one of them, but overall she died without any more casualties.
Alpha: Yknow the drill, aggresive. But she was pretty fast so the megatheriums got the bug buff early. But then she killed 3 at the SAME TIME. Things went pretty downhill from there. The megatheriums got her to 1/4th hp, but soon they were all mowed down.
So, what do i think? I think that megatheriums are really good for the broodmother! And keep in mind, these were UNMUTATED megatheriums.
If you are on ark mobile and you are trying to find a megatherium but can't find one.... Go to a dungeon and kill one then get it's implant then revive it with a revival platform and then tame it - Roccky the taming master
I know the app says that they can’t break Adobe structures but, with the insect killer buff they can! So if you are going to trap one make sure you use stone or metal and keep your insect tames far away; also kill any insects in the area since they take less torpor damage while the buff is active.
Don't use a rhyniognatha.
Trust me on this one.
These creatures are pretty easy to tame (a simple knock out feed) they are brilliant for caves as they have the bug buff ability (makes them 2x stronger when fighting bugs) also these creatures are amazing for the broodmother for the same reason.
Hope this helped.

To make honey last practically forever, make a fishing rod and equip honey, that is about to spoil, to the fishing rod, then un-equip it. It should refresh the spoil timer. Does not work with leech blood. Tested on PS4.

Crystal Wyverns do not pick them up... that is wrong info
A subspecies of Megatherium (Megatherium Jeffersonii), was named after president Thomas Jefferson as he studied fossils in his spare time!
Giant bee honey seems to work well for taming. They can be picked up by wyverns.
