Use this beast to hit the burnt trees in Ragnarok to harvest tons of charcoal! Best way to make gunpowder!

Run. Don’t have your gorillas attack it. Don’t shoot at it. Don’t make the same mistakes I did. Just run.

It's great at collecting berries, fiber and chitin from insects/bugs. He also doesn't collect charcoal from the burnt trees near the volcano in ragnarok anymore. Great for fighting broodmother and doing artifact runs on the island and caves that are filled with insects. Definitely worth taming

Can be picked up with quetz. Found them very quickly in the snow area. Also seems like it can gather just about anything. The buff they get for killing insects also seems to increase the damage it does on other creatures

Don't use a rhyniognatha.

Trust me on this one.

you can make them sit, a must tame for any serious tribe

Megatherium is on Lost Island. Can confirm in redwoods

Use honey to tame. Its easy to get, And its a alternative kibble. Highly recommend using honey

I saw two near the redwoods and I underestimated these mfs when I tried taming. They Tore me apart

Want to tame this insect grinder? Here’s your best way to go about this; supplies; as with every tame u need supplies this is of course what I recommend bringing, you however can bring what you think will work! I recommend shocking tranqs, as a way of quickly putting them down, without them getting to you, pack 200 narcotics for each megatherium you plan on taming (pack a few more just in case) pack some kibble, or veggies, mutton, prime these guys are omnivores but they prefer meat! Next on the shopping list is a net gun, if you are a low leveled player this will be your safest bet on getting one of these, but pack at least 6 nets, in case you eithor miss or they broke free, and there will always be too megatheriums that spawn with each other, meaning they are always in packs of two, if you don’t have access to nets, then beartraps will work too, they’re just not as versatile as the net gun, make sure to pack some GOOD armor, because when these guys come at you o Jesus they will come for you. Having trouble finding some of these Boise? I find them very often on lost island, and crystal isles, (I play on valguero, but I don’t think they spawn on that map) you can find them all over the map on isles, on lost island they spawn commonly at the left of the desert dunes!

Still wanting to tame one? Here’s some options for knock out; nets!, just shoot them both with nets and walk up and tranq them in the head for a quick and painful knockout! And the other option is shoot and flee!, it’s pretty much self explanatory but it is a dangerous operation I recommend health brews if you get overrun. After you knock them out, I prefer mutton to tame them but it’s up to you how you tame them! Congrats you have tamed the fuzzy insect grinder, a VERY effeicant way to kill the brood mother as well as protect your base from bugs, and as cave also have bugs they are good cave mounts if they fit inside the cave, they also have a massive dmg buff when a insect is close by, this is specified by the distinctive red cloud above its head, it will do this in the wild as well making it kill u way faster, great for gathering chitin, and also can gather fiber and berries by harvesting bushes (it’s kinda like a therizino in some ways) very useful tame for players! Happy taming and take care!

These WILL aggro on your tamed insects on ark mobile revamp. I don’t know the situation with wild bugs, but if I take a scorp or a rhynio tame near one of these, it becomes very very aggressive. In fact, it was so strong it knocked my rhynio down to 1/3 health before the rhynio killed it.😬

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

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)

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.

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

Has good carry weight, gathers lots of berries, thatch, fiber, and chitin. Also it can be maneuvered a lot easier than other berry collectors.

This giant sloth really hates bugs.

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

Use berries or meat to tame and use lots of narcotics

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