Such a son of a gun!!!! Took me 1.5 hours just to tame one, died a couple times because it randomly glitched out of trap, and one time broke the wooden trap I built, so I replaced it with a metal trap, when I could have done a STONE TRAP!!!
These guys are very sneaky and dangerous, tried to lure me a with the fake torpor run.
Watch out guys!!!

Chapter twenty four: Dinner shenanigans.
They all sat around the long table uncomfortably in silence. Cyrus had his jaw set and Cyra was glaring at him. Jack was wondering whether or not the meat was still raw. The steak that was on Cyrus plate looked rather suspiciously pink. Jack was horrified whenever he saw Cyrus eat the possible raw meat and then push back his plate, ignoring the vegetables. Nora and William broke the silence. “So… tomorrow sometime two….guests will be coming to talk about….some stuff. Dinner will probably be a little late so y’all will need to wait and stay out of trouble!” Nora instructed. “Great. More outsiders.” Cyrus complained. Cyra glared at him. “Not ALL outsiders are bad Cyrus!” Cyra replied angrily. William sighed and he and Nora exclaimed glances. “Yeah but some of them are! Like your friend here!” Cyrus said.
“Jack is not!”
“Oh come on! It’s so obvious he’s using you!”
“Is not!”
“Is too!”
“Is not!”
“Is too!”
“Is not!”
“Is t-”
“ENOUGH!!!” William bellowed. He slammed his fists into the table. “Will y’all stop fighting for…forever?!?!” William asked exasperated. Cyra and Cyrus went silent. “Thank you. Finally some peace and quiet.” Nora muttered. Just then the castle gates burst open and two guards hurried in, holding a limp body. Jack almost threw up when he saw it. The soldier that was wounded was bloody all over, claw marks ran down his face and arms and large chunks of him were missing as if he had been bitten. Cyrus’ face turned very white and he and Cyra exchanged worried looks. “Your majesties! One of our soldiers, Lawrence was attacked by a wolf or something!!! He needs help!” One soldier begged. Nora shot a look at William and then sprang from her chair and rushed to the wounded soldiers side. William followed her, muttering something about “getting rid of the wolf problems”. They set him down on the ground. Nora took a deep breath and her medallion began to glow a deep purple. She held her hands over the wounded soldier and pressed them gently on his chest. Immediately the wounds began to heal. The blood dried up, the skin filled in. The formerly wounded soldier sat up dazed. “What happened?” He asked. William put his hand on the soldier’s shoulder. “You’re okay, kid. You must have been attacked by a wolf. Right?” William asked. The soldier, Lawrence was his name, nodded slowly. “Take him to his home. He probably needs to rest.” Nora instructed. The guards helped Lawrence out. Nora and William walked from the room. Cyrus pushed back his plate and stormed from the room, casting a dark glance at Jack. Jack made a silent note not to be caught in the hall alone with Cyrus.
Luckily whenever Jack left the table Cyrus was nowhere to be seen. He went down the hall and walked for his room. Unfortunately he must have taken a wrong turn because he ended up outside a unfamiliar door. William and Nora’s voices echoed from the room. This must be there room. “Why weren’t you watching it?!?!” Nora shouted. “You were supposed to be on guard?!?”
“I’m sorry okay I was kinda busy.” William said. “Well your heedlessness could have killed a guard!!” Nora shouted. William sighed and said nothing. Nora sighed. “I’m sorry. I’m just so worried that some of our guards will get hurt. We can’t lose any.” Nora said. “It’s okay honey. We just have to find a way through this. There has to be some way we can get rid of it.”
“We’ve already tried. Nothing works. It’ll just keep coming.” Jack walked away, puzzled. He roamed and halls until he came back to his room. They had been really worried, hadn’t they? Someone really needed to get rid of that wolf problem then.

A pack of these things are insanely strong. If your raiding a base near bugs and need to do a meat run, drain the turrets with your other Dino’s and these things will kill almost anything in that base with that boost. Rex’s don’t stand a chance against this thing with the buff, than again it’s not permanent. Also you can safely hop off them allowing you to grapple safely away. They are really good for slaughtering tames but they aren’t always reliable unless you get the boost for the.
I have spent around 20 ark days looking for megatheriums, I found one level 135 female and have spent the at least 15 ark days looking for a high level male. Haven’t found anything over 90 yet and I’m considering settling for less. Finding high-level tames is the bane of my ark existence.
And there I was on Valguero, after an extremely long Megatherium search, I found a pair and thought to myself “hopefully one of these has good levels!” I looked through my spyglass to look at that big- lvl 55?😑Well, I almost gave up and flew away, but what if by some sheer coincidence the lvl 55 had a higher level buddy? I scoffed at the thought that the second megatherium would be any better and pulled out my spyglass. The tag read “Wild Male Megatherium Level 140” I couldn’t believe my eyes, after so long (over 10 hours) I finally found myself a megatherium worthy of shooting with tranq arrows and shoving meat down its gullet! There was one slight problem however; I’d never tamed a megatherium! I cleared the area of everything dangerous and then set up my trap. Well, tried to at least. I missed a BUNCH of daeodons apparently. So I drove them off the waterfall. A little while later, my argy was getting shredded by pigs again! How did I miss them??? Off the waterfall the hoard went. But then I watched it for myself; I wasn’t leaving daeodons behind, they were spawning in. I set my trap up right next to a daeodon spawn zone! My megatherium was slowly wandering away from my trap, down the waterfall where the yuties were (tough luck on my trap setup eh?) so I just kinda went for it! I hopped on my argy and pecked the mega, right into the trap it went! Now it was time to knock him out! I was lucky that the daeodons didn’t spawn in until he was fully tamed, but I heard yuties roaring below the waterfall the whole time.
And that’s how Terminix was tamed!
