Kill every snail you see while riding a Megatherium. They collect ungodly amounts of chitin from them.
Megatherium

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megatherium in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Good at killing Beyla, the Broodmother and bug bosses.
These things are the best broodmother slayers get a group of mutated megatheriums and you’re on your way to wrecking that spider’s pointy ass
After you take one and go chitin hunting with it, be careful not to get to close to another and think it's okay because the other is half the level of yours. It's a quick way to lose a lot of work.
good tip to remember. dont think you can out run these guys they are fast. when taming using a few large bear traps
hyaenodons are scared of these demigods that we call megatherium
Don’t punch it or you’ll die so yeah don’t punch it
Metal Bill Boards are an easy way to tame it, but alternative stone traps may work (Argentavis Trap, 2x2 door way trap). I highly recommend Honey, easy to get and is practically kibble, but mutton works fine.
So even though I’ve never had a megatherium, is still know how useful they can be. They are omnivores which means they cAn harvest berries, wood, and even Dinos. They also get a buff for killing bugs which makes them stronger. But the problem is that your heart will suffer…

They also get a buff for killing bugs which makes them stronger. But the problem is that your heart will suffer trying to get megatherium. And believe me I feel those players that try to get mega implant on mega dungeon a billion times but still fa8l and the give up and then write a review beging for mega to be on the outer world in game.(I did those things). Hope this helps! Stay strong with bugs my friends!🐞🐛🐜🦟🪲🪳🕷️
I found a max level one I netted it and a pack of wolfs attacked and my snow owl went to kill them but missed and killed the megatherium 😭😭
Check the area first before taming
Will be aggressive in the wild with bug buff. Tame one immediately. If you disagree with that statement watch someone use it in swamp cave.
Great chitin farmer.
Be careful around these monsters, one of them destroyed my MC armor in 2 hits and killed me instantly, build a pen or bring an animal to tank it while you tranquilize the f*er, good luck survivor!
Mainly found in Redwoods I found one and tamed it.
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…

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!
Be careful if you see one that's on fire killing bugs if you go near it when enraged like this they will kill anything
!
THIS DUDE JUST WIPED OUT MY GROUP OF MAX LEVEL SCORPIONS ;((((((((
I MADE A GODDAMN MISTAKE OF WEARING CHITIN ARMOR ;-;
You know how this is good for broodmother? So why tame 17 or 18, just tane 1, then clone 16 or 17 times! Not grinding food to tame, just saddles. It's super safe, EZ as pie! Hope this helps you like it did me. (If you don't got the tek cloning machine engrams, ask a…
You know how this is good for broodmother? So why tame 17 or 18, just tane 1, then clone 16 or 17 times! Not grinding food to tame, just saddles. It's super safe, EZ as pie! Hope this helps you like it did me. (If you don't got the tek cloning machine engrams, ask a friend or locals, say you are fighting broodmother, or just tame 17 or 18, but cloning takes a few hours, so your pack might be ready by tomorrow.)
to tame these in ark mobile, go into the dungeon and retrieve its implant then leave (by dying) the dungeon. It will take around 30 amber to revive and eats meat to tame
They are veru good in gathering fiber better than mosschops and very good in harvesting berries more narco berries better than paraceratherium
Amazing chitin gatherer 386 from on trilobite 🤯
