Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a megatherium? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a megatherium.
In Mobile version, megatherium can be resurrect on the obelisk after killing it in the dungeon (plase in mobile, where you can have battle with bosses). It doesn't live in normal world. In mobile it eats an old kibble: baryonyx egg+raw fish+potato+mejoberry+fiber. It is very important information for mobile players! Up so mobile players can see this. By void original from google
Just caught two of these beastly animals today with my son. The best way to capture one is three metal signs in the form of a triangle with a bear trap in the middle of it. Lay the first two metal sign down in a 90 degree angle and put the bear (large one) trap in the middle. Get the megatherium to follow you into the bear trap, and put the third sign on the outside of the animal. Tranq it up and vola you have a Megatherium.

MEGATHERIUM: Sound Triggered?
Towards Insects, hell yeah.
These things Ark Devs call Giant Sloths are the No.2 Producer of Chitin and Keratin.
You never have to worry about Cementing Paste Again!
For some reason it tames faster with coocked prime fish meat than regular meat
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
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
DONT TRY TO KNOCK OUT WITH BUG BUFF IT TOOK ME LIKE 60 TRANQS INSTEAD OF THE 27 DODODEX SHOWED SO MAKE SURE THE BUG BUFF WEARS OFF AND IT CANT GET IT BACK DURING KNOCKING OUT
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.
If you are on ark mobile and you are trying to find a megatherium but can't find one.... Go to a dungeon and kill one then get it's implant then revive it with a revival platform and then tame it - Roccky the taming master
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.
Don't use a rhyniognatha.
Trust me on this one.
The number of tranq arrows that the app says you need to knock one out is wrong (at least for crossbows). It said I needed about 52 arrows for a level 120 and I ended up using way more than that. Also no it wasnt in bug rage mode so it couldnt have been the damage resistance
Crystal Wyverns do not pick them up... that is wrong info
Would like a sloth good sir? The let’s get one
First you need tranq arrows or darts (whatever you prefer)
Next get a trap set I use metal signs to trap them but whatever you prefer
Next bring honey, raw mutton, berries (if your felling hardcore)
Wait a little while and boom 💥. Your very own sloth exterminator
Hope it helped👍
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.
Megatherium is on Lost Island. Can confirm in redwoods
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
Make sure that you aren’t setting up your trap next to a daeodon spawn zone… Not fun…
