There's a reason it's ranked 7th best melee in the game, run.

They can go aggro out of no where in extinction (city) they usually have a red aroaura coming out of them ⬆️ To protect noobs from giant sloths

For mobile players you can kill it in the dungeons I forgot which one but you will find out. Then grab it’s respawn artifact thing then get a respawn pad respawn it and build stone walls around so it does not get out and escape then tranq it out the easy way is to feed berries hard way is honey. Blow this up so peeps can see it

If he eats a ant he will go super sayan god and kill everyone so be careful because they can be more deadly than the dragon boss

If someone hasn't already I'd like to point out that these creatures are omnivores.

THIS DUDE IS LITERALLY A THERI ON CRACK its attacks have wider area damage then a theri, its faster then a theri, it does more damage then a theri, it collects fiber with the default attack, it excels in collecting thatch, chitin, and it has bug buff

For ark mobile users the mega is only in dungeons :/

In mobile, these only spawn in dungeons. Some dungeons. Also to tame you will need a revival platform and a good amount of ancient amber.

You can only find this creature by going to the dungeons in Mobile

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 I think the combo is better

First tip please try it and let me know if it’s more effective than Beelzebufo itself

Use berries or meat to tame and use lots of narcotics

Crystal Wyverns do not pick them up... that is wrong info

To make honey last practically forever, make a fishing rod and equip honey, that is about to spoil, to the fishing rod, then un-equip it. It should refresh the spoil timer. Does not work with leech blood. Tested on PS4.

Giant bee honey seems to work well for taming. They can be picked up by wyverns.

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 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.

Absolute godsend for meat runs in caves. Only things that'll aggro up on it are Pirhana, Megalania and (presumably) Megalosaurus. Otherwise, everything else (including Arthropleura and Sarcos) won't aggro. Have at 'em!
