ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
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 itβs taking suspiciously long, make sure there are no insects in the area, be they wild or tamed

If it has the red aura on it, donβt try to knock it out. Just wasted 50 tranqs when it had the aura, only took 12 without
Darn sloth can't run fast but good for collecting foods and INCREDIBLE for chitin and has a pretty good weight...

Tap the good arrow so ppl can see before taming pls
In Mobile version, megatherium can be resurrect on the obelisk after killing it in the dungeon (plase in mobile, where you can have battle with bosses). It doesn't live in normal world. In mobile it eats an old kibble: baryonyx egg+raw fish+potato+mejoberry+fiber. It is very important information for mobile players! Up so mobile players can see this. By void original from google
Just caught two of these beastly animals today with my son. The best way to capture one is three metal signs in the form of a triangle with a bear trap in the middle of it. Lay the first two metal sign down in a 90 degree angle and put the bear (large one) trap in the middle. Get the megatherium to follow you into the bear trap, and put the third sign on the outside of the animal. Tranq it up and vola you have a Megatherium.

MEGATHERIUM: Sound Triggered?
Towards Insects, hell yeah.
These things Ark Devs call Giant Sloths are the No.2 Producer of Chitin and Keratin.
You never have to worry about Cementing Paste Again!
When attempting to knock out. Take into account the current 'state' they are in. Normal or Enraged.
Torpor acts normally during knock out if they are in their 'normal state' allowing for an easier knock out.
When they're in their 'Bug Rage' state, torpor drops insanely fast during attempts to knock them out. Resulting in darts being less effective, and the need for Tranquilizer Arrows Torpor over Time to help counter.
The reason for this, is due to the Bug Rage being a natural counter to the poisons of the various torpor inducing attacks of the Arks "Australian sized" insects.
For mobile players you can kill it in the dungeons I forgot which one but you will find out. Then grab itβs 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
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.
Crystal Wyverns do not pick them up... that is wrong info
