Tips & Strategies
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 arenβt 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.
More Megatherium Utility Tips
Wild dinos ignore you while you are on it unless you attack them.
Think of your favorite tame... that was cute. Introducing you to your new favorite tame, GOD... I mean megatherium. Sorry, with one kill of a bug they are very hard to tell apart. You remember waking up on the beach naked and running away from those drones? Yeah, now they will have nightmares of a big ass sloth frothing at the mouth for their demise. Giga making you worry next door? Nothing a Megatherium or 20 and some bug crack canβt fix. I promise you getting one of these changed my life. Collects Chiton pretty good I guess. If pretty good is you throwing out 16K cause youβre slot capped. Your future daughter will call this tame daddy, if you already have a daughter... you should have had a son.
Alpha raptors and alpha carnos will also ignore you while you are on it unless you attack them. This does not work for alpha t rexes as they will attack any ground tame including tamed rexes and megatheriums.
IT CAN SIT DOWN, THE WORLD MUST KNOW
Wild dinos ignore you while you are on it unless you attack them except if the dino is an allo, spino, rex, alpha rex, yuty, carcharo, giga, rhynio, or another megatherium thats insect buffed which will attack on sight.
350% melee = 1000 chitin per arthropleura, 500 per scorpion, 400 per spider. THE MACHINE
Very good for gathering berries,thatch and fiber and very good for fighting the broodmother because of the buff they get when they kill bugs.
I dont know about the guy that says wild dinos ignore you while you are riding megatherium but thats only half of the fact. They ignore you once you have the increased dmg against bugs buff which will appear as a sap icon once you kill at least 1 bug. Only then wild dinos will ignore you. As long as the buff is active the dinos will ignore you.
Megatheriums are one of if not the absolute best way to defeat the Brood Mother, for instance it can easily obliterate any and all cave dwellers that guard the artifacts necessary to summon this demonic demigod. It also receives a damage boost when they kill any invertebrates and therefore, it is essential to use in the boss fight. When paired up with a Yuti and Deadon these killing machines are completely unstoppable; although, Iβd recommend both high levels and great saddles.

14 of these, three Yutyrannusses and 3 Daeodons can and will kill The Broodmother on every difficulty
