Use this beast to hit the burnt trees in Ragnarok to harvest tons of charcoal! Best way to make gunpowder!
Megatherium
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megatherium in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Run. Don’t have your gorillas attack it. Don’t shoot at it. Don’t make the same mistakes I did. Just run.
It's great at collecting berries, fiber and chitin from insects/bugs. He also doesn't collect charcoal from the burnt trees near the volcano in ragnarok anymore. Great for fighting broodmother and doing artifact runs on the island and caves that are filled with…
It's great at collecting berries, fiber and chitin from insects/bugs. He also doesn't collect charcoal from the burnt trees near the volcano in ragnarok anymore. Great for fighting broodmother and doing artifact runs on the island and caves that are filled with insects. Definitely worth taming
Can be picked up with quetz. Found them very quickly in the snow area. Also seems like it can gather just about anything. The buff they get for killing insects also seems to increase the damage it does on other creatures
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…

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.
cute (just ignore the potbelly), strong enough that anything smaller than an allosaurus ignores you, and it's stronger than a Rex when it kills a bug (the effect lasts two full minutes)
If they get bug boosted they will turn aggressive and attack anything including brontos that's not a rex, spino, giga, carcharo, titano, or rhynio (unfortunately you won't get to see these two attacking each other in the wild)
That also means the dinos listed above…

That also means the dinos listed above won't naturally target the megatherium also.
you can make them sit, a must tame for any serious tribe
I haven’t tried this myself but if you get a Megatherium and a Beelzebufo and set the Megatherium to aggressive on some bugs and set it to don’t harvest victims you can use the Beelzebufo to harvest them and get a lot of cementing paste you could just use the Beelzebufo but…

First tip please try it and let me know if it’s more effective than Beelzebufo itself
Finlay :)
Don't use a rhyniognatha.
Trust me on this one.
If you are taking this to the broodmother lysrix boss fight, remember to uprpgrade some weight because this thing farms chitin like a beast and wouldn’t be able to move after its inventory is filled by chitin lol.
I tamed mine simply standing on the back of my rex and tranq rifiling it into oblivion. It won't attack your rex and can't reach you.
Megatherium is on Lost Island. Can confirm in redwoods
I saw two near the redwoods and I underestimated these mfs when I tried taming. They Tore me apart
Use honey to tame. Its easy to get, And its a alternative kibble. Highly recommend using honey
Has good carry weight, gathers lots of berries, thatch, fiber, and chitin. Also it can be maneuvered a lot easier than other berry collectors.
This giant sloth really hates bugs.
In my opinion one of the best land mounts in the game, slow turn radius and sprint speed are its only cons, great base health and damage, amazing base carry weight and good stamina make this my taming mount, at 4K health it can tank a Spino while I tranq it still riding which…
In my opinion one of the best land mounts in the game, slow turn radius and sprint speed are its only cons, great base health and damage, amazing base carry weight and good stamina make this my taming mount, at 4K health it can tank a Spino while I tranq it still riding which just sold it for me. It can gather berries well enough and it’s bug killer buff makes it a force to be reckoned with around any area with bugs or scorpions
Go out of your way to tame this thing, a high level mega is my go to land mount now
This things the Swiss army knife of dinos. It does everything.
