Good against the broodmother,because of their boost against bugs.(if they kill a bug they get a boost that basically makes them the strongest Dino in ark.)Breeding them is also really easy because they give you a baby instantly and don't drop an egg, which saves a bit of time.

I adopted it using bait. My best dinosaur was a Triceratops. I managed to adopt it, but if you don't have the budget to build stone walls and floors, bring a bait with a full life, tell it not to be aggressive, and attack the megatherium with the dinosaur. Stop with the dinosaur in place and let the megatherium attack your dinosaur while you shoot it with semi-anesthetizer. If you've made it this far, I'd love for you to share this for anyone who needs it. Thanks for reading.

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

So you would like to tame a ✨Megatherium✨ here's how

First I would recommend making a taming pen out of 4 stone foundations and 2x high stone doorways then you will tranq it count 5sec per shot because it takes a second for the shots to kick in then feed the taming food🍖🥩.

🔥Fun fact🔥:When you kill a bug while on a ✨Megatherium✨ it goes into rage mode and does double its normal damage.

💫GL💫 and enjoy the Teddy Bear🧸 with claws!♥️

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!

Don't try to kill these for XP. I lost a level 130 Tek Rex trying to kill a level 82 when suddenly another one ran in from behind and they shredded my freshly tamed creature in about 5 seconds, I didn't even have time to turn around.

Only in dungeons for mobile players, along with Jerboa, Onyc, Troodon and Daeodon. Hopefully mobile players can see and know!

DO NOT BRING BUGS ANYWHERE NEAR THIS GUY! I was coming back home from the redwoods with some new times riding on my scorpion and I tried to just pass by him but he immediately aggroed my scorpion and all of my other tames. 15 tames died in a matter of seconds. Only the level 80+'s survived.

I also found some on Lost Island in the desert, right next to a little stone/bones oasis

Just found out the crystal wyverns don’t pick up these guys :/

~Stabz

A lvl 15 killed 7 high-level dimorphs. They were taking him out at first then It started secreting a red mist and wiped them all out myself included

I use these guys for boss fights they are amazing if you have enough of them

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.

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.

I would highly recommend getting one of these big boys. Me and one of my boys got a 140 earlier today and I must say he is quite the Dino. His name is Pablo and he is a beast. Got his health to 10k and his melee to 350 then took him down to the swamp cave on the island. Pablo single handedly wiped the entire big population in that cave and in the process got me from level 96-100. Most importantly you can sit these guys which is what really sold me. Anyways I’d highly recommend getting one of these sloths.

Like the Therizino, but gathers more thatch than wood. Also, this thing has really good weight.

He is basically the incarnation of a gorilla god if he gets his hand on any bug. He will obliterate any who stand before him and rip the chitin from your very soul. Cause if you didn’t have chitin before now be prepared to have to much of it. The only downside of this literal demy god is that it’s hard to get his fat furry ass anywhere cause he is humungous.

Can be put in a procoptodon (kangaroo) pouch while it’s in a baby state

You never know what you've got until it's gone. Actually I knew exactly what I had and that was my mega. The BEST at gathering chitlin or keratin. I'd take him to a spot with a lot of bugs and after 2 mins I'd have stacks and stacks of chit/keratin. I left him on a boat while I took my argys to get some obsidian real fast and ended up running into 3 spinos. Took a while to kill 2 and tame the 3rd while fending off tickle chickens then on the way back I found a gigantithicus or whatever the sasquatch is and followed him around shoving berries in his ass until he was tamed and by the time I got back to my raft base with the spino and harry my mega was dead..... I've spent 2 days looking for another and can't find one. I saw them ALL THE TIME until I'm looking for one lol.

It doesnt say but these things are a godsend on scorched. Can collect alot of silk, cactus sap,fiber, and berries. If you take it out into the dessert and have a decent level megatherium you can kill deathworms and mantis' untill you get bored.
