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 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

How to tame megathirum pocket guide

1:you can find em in the redwoods or the tundra I think, so look around there and you can find em easy

2: Build a trap with gates kinda like a Giga trap to keep it in there, and then hit it with tranq darts/arrows and feed it it’s favorite kibble

3:then, simply proctect the murder sloth from things like terror birds and allos or something

4: you got a megathirum!

Up if you thought it was helpful (I’m sorry if it’s not)

This things the Swiss army knife of dinos. It does everything.

make a sheep farm and cyo it and kill it when you knock it out makes tameing so easy in my case eanyways

These things will send you to jesus before you Could say hi

On Mobile the only way to encouter the Megatherium is to retrieve their implant by going into a dungeon so be prepared.

Here's a hint. These sloths get a buff after eating insects, boss fight anyone?

Make sure that you aren’t setting up your trap next to a daeodon spawn zone… Not fun…

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.

Taming these guys in mobile is a pain! You have to go into a specific dungeon, kill one without a mount, take there implant, go back to base and revive it, now you can tame your sloth boi.

Your guide to the… MEGATHERIUM!

How to tame:

Get a pt (pteranodon) and get a bow and tranqs.

Next fly LOW as thylac (thylacolyo) tend to hide high in the trees where these guys live.

Then you lure it out of the redwoods and lead it to a beach OUTSIDE of the redwood zone.

Tranq till it drops and then feed mejo berries.

Uses:

Harvesting

Killing bugs

Killing anything really

Getting from place to place safely

Breeding and taming a Rhyniogatha

And finally boss fights and caves.

Where to find it:

Redwoods EXCLUSIVELY

Difficulty taming and doing all the other stuff:

6–8 depending on what part of redwoods you find it in, and where your base is

Should you tame based on my experience?

YES, new to middle or even late gamers should tame this creature.

Hope this helps—PycoDaShark!

If you want to tame a megatherium you should make a trap.it’s not hard you can search it on youtube.otherwise chasing it around will not be fun.it moves around a lot so a trap would really help.<3

In old ark mobile. They eat baryonyx egg kibble

Broodmother fighting, no problem! Have several of these on your team and you'll have chitin for days after it's done. Combat multiplier with each spider kill too so these are a very good investment.

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 u tame with cooked fish meat on official your a savage

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

Are these on Switch? I just got ARK on Switch yesterday, and I was wondering if I could tame one on the Island.

Remember, these guys are omnivores. Kibble, honey, and raw prime meat ( in that order ) are better than mejoberries. Don’t be me and use berries because you have no kibble or honey.
