Megatherium
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Megatherium in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This Dino is a good Dino overall and it is like made for fighting the brudmother. :)
Like many other creatures, the buff of wild Megatherium is applied on sight of the target (all kind of arthropods) rather than after performing the action needed to activate it once tamed (killing), so don't expect to tackle one while there are any tamed or wild arthropods…
Like many other creatures, the buff of wild Megatherium is applied on sight of the target (all kind of arthropods) rather than after performing the action needed to activate it once tamed (killing), so don't expect to tackle one while there are any tamed or wild arthropods nearby, including even the strongest of the Mantis trained in melee.
It is also worth note that wild Megatherium will become aggressive when the buff is activated, so stay clear of them unless you have means to take it down.
I got 150 chiten from a spider with this instead of 20 with a pick. If your in a map where you can't steal cementing paste from beavers use a doedicures to get the stone and this to get the chiten.
In early to mid game these are one of the best ground mounts even if it's low level they are relatively easy to tame and can even beat rexes when they have the bug buff
Can be carried by a quetz and a wyvern. Can attack your mount while being carried if it's facing in the direction of it and can be tamed using honey. Drop it in with a quetz or wyvern and tranq away. Eats honey pretty slowly but very decent efficiency off of it.
Wait for bug buff to wear off before shooting it save urself some darts

TRAP IDEA:

6 stone foundations
10 stone door frames
2 wooden ramps
General trap:
Place the 6 foundations 3 on each side
Then put the doorframes on the outside of the the foundation you then need to put the two ramps on two of the door ways so the megatherium walks up it when you agro it. Get out of the trap and tranq!.
*BEWARE KEEP OUT OF ITS MELEE DISTANCE IT WILL DESTROY YOU*
Use 3 metal billboards and a large bear trap to tame. Super easy and effective. Place two at a 45 degree angle w bear trap in corner. Agro w argie, trap it, place 3rd billboard and BOOM - K.O!!
If your aiming to get a more utility versed Megatherium the efficiently pump melee and weight. The more melee the Megatherium has the more chitin its able to collect, and weight so you can carry extra.
Get 18 of these and the Broodmother is dead. Simple as that
If Giant Bugs offend you, this is a must have tame
I would recommend fighting the broodmother with these guys they are much easier to tame than a rex they spawn in the snow area which is very dangerous I recommend using a wyvern or a quetzal to pick them bringing them to a safe area trust me if you imprint a army the brood…
I would recommend fighting the broodmother with these guys they are much easier to tame than a rex they spawn in the snow area which is very dangerous I recommend using a wyvern or a quetzal to pick them bringing them to a safe area trust me if you imprint a army the brood mother would not be a problem not even a alpha one because they have that bug buff which deals even more damage DON’T go for a rex these guys are a better option they much easier to tame up so many people should know❤️👍
Can someone pls tell me where can i find these guys on mobile pls
The easiest way me and my brother do it is placing a large bear trap down Agro it then quickly place metal billboards around it then start pelting it with tranqs
Hits harder than a drunk uncle I know from experience (not my uncle the sloth)
Honey works as well as mutton to tame and almost as good as kibble, trap in pen and starve tame with honey, a very powerful tame and easy, works well for dire bears also
Can only be found in dungeons in mobile
Honestly very cute, not too hard to tame, they can sit, and their face looks like a hairy horse
This thing is practacly god. God himself fears this thing when it kills an ant. It has eyes of rage when it kills a bug. All those time you were on a beach being chased by a level 134 flying ant, with this thing your reverse the roles.
